visual - My Landmark Puzzle


After travelling around the world and returning home, I opened my passport to admire my stamps.


Five individual pieces of paper fell to the floor:


enter image description here


I must have picked them up somewhere, but I can't remember where...




Hint #1




All of these pieces have printing on one side only.



Hint #2



Some of the edges appear to be carefully torn.




Answer



Answer



You were in Giza, Egypt, at the Pyramid of Khafre?




Because



The four black and white pieces of papers seem to be parts of a QR code, but they appear skewed. However, if you stand them up along their hypotenuse edges and, using the black square as a base, lean them against one another so that the 4 corners come together to form a pyramid, the intent becomes apparent. When viewed from above, the code is now readable, and scanning it with a mobile device, we find it decodes to +2.

The shape implies that we should be looking at pyramids, and I guess that the last hint is either to imply there's more than 2 pyramids (but that would be better hinted by 2+), or, more likely that the precise location is the "2nd" pyramid, hence the Pyramid of Khafre, since it is known as "The Second Pyramid" and is the second-tallest and second-largest pyramid of Giza.
