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.
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.
