A new study suggests the Khufu Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, may have been designed to withstand earthquakes. Researchers found that the pyramid's internal structure distributes mechanical stress evenly, and its frequency differs from surrounding soil, potentially preventing vibration amplification during seismic events.
A new scientific analysis of the event shows tiny earthquakes triggered a massive landslide.
