The pyramids stayed standing because they were built with very strong stones and a smart shape. When you stack blocks in a pyramid shape, it makes the whole structure more stable, like how a tower of blocks is harder to knock over if it’s wider at the bottom. Also, the stones used were really heavy and smooth, so they fit together tightly without needing glue.
Examples
- Stacking blocks like a tower makes them harder to fall over.
- Using really strong glue helps things stick together better.
- A cone-shaped hat is more stable than a cylinder one.
