Kind of OT, but it’s funny they liken it to straightening the Tower of Pisa. The Tower’s tilt was partially reversed and stabilized about 20 years ago.
Though in that case it’s because it was continuing to lean further over time and they were worried it would fall over. Nothing like that is true of the pyramids.
The simile actually breaks down in the other direction because the Tower of Pisa was never straight to begin with; the top was built at a different angle from the base.

Because the base was already leaning and they had stopped construction for a war mid way through.
