The study stopped short of claiming that ancient Egyptians intentionally designed the pyramid to resist earthquakes. Researchers said there is no direct evidence proving ancient builders understood seismic engineering in the modern sense.
Still, the findings suggest the Great Pyramid’s geometry and construction methods naturally reduced seismic risks. Researchers said the monument remains “a testament to ancient seismic engineering principles” that could still inform modern heritage preservation efforts.
Researchers found that the Pyramid of Khufu has a natural vibration frequency that differs sharply from the surrounding ground, helping reduce the risk of dangerous resonance during earthquakes.
The question I have is: how common or uncommon is this affect in other structures? Does this actually make the Great pyramid special?
Yes, they finally built one that didn’t fall down.
Actually, truth is the other smaller pyramids in the area were built new when the Great Pyramid was old to those Egyptians, and they haven’t lasted as well.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Also an audio nerd. Love tuning my subs up and down to various people’s resonant frequency and seeing their eyes grow.
Not excited how many pseudoscience alien nutjobs are gonna be all over this paper. Lol.

Lol that’s maniacal!
Eh, most people love it. It’s why you get that feeling in your chest at a good theatre too. Really makes Helms Deep feel visceral when you feel every shot and thud in your chest and the pod racing scenes in Star wars more immersive when you feel truly feel the hum of the engines
It’s true I love when the thud thud thud thud and I become one
Frequencies! Crystals! Aliums! Get your frequencies, crystals, aliums here! Priiiime frequencies, crystals, aliums!
But how do I decalcify my pineal gland? Decalcify!
Provided I have the subs, do you have a how-to, or a link on how to do that?
I use my laptop as a source so I can just click on a full parametric EQ. I’ll just throw a boost with medium Q centered on 75hz on, then slide the central frequency down to 30hz and just watch when they start to feel it. So long as you don’t have a room node right in there it’s pretty easy to tell when you’ve got it.
And me here thinking it was the large base tapering upwards. Turn pyramid on its head and I believe you, science guys!
>The mystery of how Egypt’s pyramids survived thousands of years of earthquakes may partly come down to smart engineering
So thaaaat’s how they did it! Clever Egyptians, using smart engineering!
You should have considered the structural engineering and not just the pyramid’s vibes!
As an audio nerd and an ancient history nerd I had to share this.
Fun fact, resonant frequencies are also the reason your car will noticeably rattle at a particular speed.
So it is an alien communication hub.
A civilization that came before us knows something we dont? I refuse to believe it!/s
