TIL How ~2500 years ago the Chinese built their pagodas and roofs earthquake safe. Why, because I had to search for 盔頂 to solve a #wordchain contribution. Not a #Breakfastvideo, but an interesting piece of old wisdom that came my way today.
It's crazy to see how wobbly it all looks, but how it all gets locked into place by the immense weight of the roof; and that wobbliness of course affords the flexibility required for the structure to withstand an earthquake without shattering.
