I saw a similar post recently on a different site. This seems fake to me.
Does anybody have different, perhaps more reliable sources to confirm this?

To my eyes, the "crease" is evident in all but the right side.
It's a four sided pyramid, where each side has a concave bend in the middle, only really visible from a top down perspective. The article contains enhanced, but completely valid photos of it.
It is unknown if this was an intentional design aspect. It does not seem to be a feature of any occult purpose. Sneferu's Bent Pyramid does "not" have 8 sides, but was incorrectly completed at a later date at the wrong angle, thus often used as a (useless) comparison.
All other pyramids in Egypt seem to just be normally 4 sides with no concave outer walls.
tl;dr The Pyramid of Giza is only 8 sides on a technicality. It approximates the usual, and expected, tetrahedral shape.
William Matthews Flinders Petrie is mentioned as having written La Description de l’Egypte in the 1700's - this is inaccurate, the man was born in 1853: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_Petrie. On a quick search I can't find mention of La Description de l’Egypte, either in French or English.
They're also quoting a text by I.E.S. Edwards at the end. He seems to be a real person, but they quote a 1975 edition of his book, which I can't find on google books (https://books.google.nl/books?q=editions:ISBN0140136347&id=d...).
The mention of British Air Force pilot, P. Groves pops up in multiple places, but none looks particularly trustworthy to me.
It's extremely slight. And, again, not an occult or religious feature, just a quirk of its design.
