HowHeight editorial judgment
After checking the listed references and public context, HowHeight uses 14,660 cm as the selected comparison value and shows 146.6 m original height as the reference value for context.
The chart uses the original completed height of 146.6 m. Present-day references are lower because the casing stones and capstone are missing.
