Scientists have unlocked one of ancient Egypt's most enduring mysteries, revealing how the Great Pyramid has remained standing through nearly five millennia of seismic activity. Researchers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics have determined that sophisticated construction methods employed by ancient builders are able to explain why Pharaoh Khufu's tomb shows no significant internal or external damage despite experiencing earthquakes measuring up to 6.8 in magnitude.
