  5. 📐🧱 Seismologists at #Egypt’s National #Research Institute of #Astronomy and #Geophysics measured vibrations inside the Great #Pyramid of #Giza.

    They found its frequency differs significantly from the surrounding #soil, preventing seismic amplification. The stability resulted from centuries of Egyptian architects refining slopes and structural layouts through trial and error.

  9. For some reason I went down a youtube rabbit hole and I've just spent an hour of my life on a documentary about stone tunnels in Giza's pyramid.
    It's quite thrilling to watch such a calm documentary about that topic because all the "popular science" stuff about pyramids is usually about mysticism or aliens. That guy's videos, on the other hand, teach interesting bits about stone masonry and the mindset of the builders as well as the early explorers.
