well pyramids and triangles in general are known to be one of the strongest shapes in order to build something with a sturdy base. so i believe pyramids like those in the picture can be universal because nobody builds a building with the intention of it breaking or falling over, so many architects choose to build a pyramid base in order to keep it standing for many years. Also the material on each of these pyramids are very sturdy and was used back in those days and worked very well for them, and although our technology in society has grown, those buildings still stand sturdy and tall because of their structure and the way they were built.
hope this helps and if it did please make sure to like, rate, and make me the brainliest if possible!
have a great day!

compare and contrast
yes ofc! well of course each pyramid was built by different societies and they all had their own way of living, but for the most part each pyramid looks the same. there are huge steps in order to reach the top and although the egyptian pyramid is the only one without stairs on the outside, there are some on the inside but the egyptians probably just wanted to protect what's inside. and as for the zapotec pyramid this one is pretty unique its structurally built like a pyramid but also has a square base element to it as well. the steps aren't as steep as the olmec pyramid and the side edges have like sturdy square bases to maybe ensure like if an earthquake happens it won't crumble everything to the ground. And also the zapotec pyramid doesnt have a pointy top like most pyramids do, instead it just has a flat base allmost as if this pyramid wasnt built to be a regular pyramid but maybe it was meant for people to step up onto the top and sight see or have a picnic or something. people in those days never built somethign jsut to build it so maybe it has to do something with their culture or maybe that would help them get closer to the sun to tell the time or look up at the stars at night and identify more about astrology. hope this also helps!
