The red granite sarcophagus of the pharaoh Senusret II (died c. 1878 BCE) in the burial chamber of his pyramid in Egypt. The sarcophagus was exceptionally well made with remarkably minute deviations, but had a pronounced slant towards the south along its length [1100×1100]

was this used with a level instrument to keep things flat?
So they had the nouse to make it perfectly smooth and perfectly straight but they explicitly chose to make it angled. Really interesting, I wonder why.
