Answer 1

The ancient Egyptians were great at math and geometry! They understood that pyramids are sturdy and their center of gravity doesn’t let them topple easily (in most cases). The larger the base of the pyramid to its height, the sturdier it is in theory. In fact, the world’s tallest building in Dubai, Burj Khalifa follows the same principle and can be looked at as a very slim pyramid. The same can be said for the iconic Eifel tower.
