Pyramids stay standing for centuries because of their shape and the strong materials they’re made from. Imagine stacking blocks like bricks in a triangle, this shape helps them stay together, even when things shake around them. The ancient Egyptians used very heavy stone, which makes the pyramid strong and stable. It’s kind of like building a tower with big, solid blocks that won’t fall over easily.
