Al-Aziz Uthman, Sultan of Egypt and Saladin's son. He believed that the pyramids were a vestige of Egypt's pagan past and a challenge to the hegemony of Islam. After eight months of work, that was all the damage they did to the pyramid (which is the smallest of the three). His advisors told him that dismantling the three pyramids would take decades and be prohibitively expensive, so he had to abandon his plan.
That is the official version, but highly implausible. If one would want to demolish a pyramid, one would start at the top layer by layer (basically rolling the stones down). The more plausible reason for this damage is that they were searching for treasures, but this is nothing one would want to be included in the official history records, so probably this story was coined.

The pyramids should be fenced off and guarded and people shouldn’t be allowed to touch them. Change my mind.

I'm less annoyed at his lack of geography skills and more outraged by the GIGANTIC hole in that pyramid!
ProfFurryPaws
He's recording from a pizza hut. It's a little too late to worry about that

It's the pyramid of Menkaure. Someone tried to demolish it in the 12th century but they couldn't.
VictusVonGuyver
Yeah, same mentality that some Christians had when they started destroying libraries, major temples, and any iconography.
