The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Khufu pyramid, is among the most famous wonders of the ancient world. It is also a wonder that the structure is still standing—given that it was erected

Archaeologists have identified the structural features of the Great Pyramid of Giza that have enabled it to withstand earthquakes for thousands of years, a discovery that stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering.

The pyramid, during a test conducted by researchers, exhibited a remarkably homogeneous and stable structural response to the seismic vibrations despite its size and complexity.

In the four and a half millennia since the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid, numerous significant earthquakes have rattled Giza. That the iconic landmark has withstood these tremors without sustaining significant damage is testament to its design,
