Scientific analysis of ancient earthquake resistant architecture in Nepal's medieval Durbar Squares

Ever wondered why Nepal’s magnificent Durbar Squares have stood for centuries, surviving massive earthquakes? In this video, we go beyond the beautiful carved wood and explore the hidden engineering that makes these structures incredibly resilient. We'll dismantle the complex multi-tiered pagoda design to explain the specific engineering principles at play: from flexible timber framing and the role of 'mud mortar' as an energy dissipator, to how the central core wall manages massive seismic forces. This is a scientific and architectural analysis of a historic landmark, showcasing how ancient builders mastered seismically resistant design long before modern technology. If you are a fan of history, architecture, or engineering, this is a deep-dive you don't want to miss!
