No I don’t remember that!
If you can give me some context I will dig around.

Structural geological engineering teaches safe places to build, this is especially important for huge buildings such as high-rises. If I remember right the current accepted “sink rate” specification is no more than 6 inches in a hundred years. Here’s one though... The ancient pyramids have not sunk more than a half inch since they were built. Since you studied this I had to bring it up as an interesting odd factoid. :)

Isn’t that incredible? Apparently they had some sort of knowledge about this science. :)
