thebalanced.newsStudy Finds Great Pyramid of Giza Built with Earthquake-Resistant Design
Researchers studying the Great Pyramid of Giza used seismometers at 37 locations to record ambient vibrations, revealing its stable structural response despite its size. Built about 4,600 years ago as Pharaoh Khufu's tomb, the pyramid features design elements such as a broad base, low center of gravity, symmetrical geometry, gradual mass reduction, internal chambers, and strong limestone bedrock that contribute to its earthquake resistance. These findings highlight the ancient builders' practical knowledge of structural stability.
