The Great Pyramid of Giza, more than 4,600 years old, has survived powerful earthquakes without significant damage.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, completed around 2560 BCE, stood as the tallest structure built by humans for nearly 3,800 years.

Differences in how the pyramid and surrounding soil vibrate, along with design choices, have protected the structure from earthquakes.

Researchers measured the natural vibrations at 37 locations inside and around the Pyramid of Giza to assess its behavior in an earthquake.

Whoever built it for the protection of a deified pharaoh must have taken advanced physics into account.

A new study measuring vibration frequencies throughout the Great Pyramid revealed how it has been able to withstand severe seismic shocks.
