A bandaged version of a 3x3x3 triangular prism (5 SIDED CUBE), last in the inventor's series of prisms.

This is the third puzzle in Beni's series of prisms, the first of which being the prism of Menkaure, and the second being the Prism of Khafre. The puzzle itself is a 3x3x3 Triangular Prism (similar to the 5 SIDED CUBE) with a bandaged 1x1x3 block on the top and bottom edge. The bandaging is simmilar to that of a middle cube of a triamese. This, combined with long extensions and confusing shapes, makes it a quite a difficult puzzle. The complexity, difficulty, size and freedom of movement are higher in this puzzle than the previous ones in the series.

The name 'Great Prism of Giza' comes from the Pyramid of Giza, from the Giza pyramid complex. Of course, it is a prism, and not a pyramid, thus the name 'Great Prism of Giza'.

The puzzle was made out of a 3x3x3. It was bandaged with superglue and epoxy, cut with a dremel, filled and extended with epoxy and clay, painted black and stickered with vinil in red, blue, green, yellow and white, in a custom colour scheme.
