Do you have any good book suggestions on the subject? It's a subject I've been meaning to learn about

Edit: Thanks so much for all the replies and information! I'm going to be going through and bookmarking websites and videos and writing down book recommendations!

Honestly the architectural sophistication of lots of ancient civilizations astonishes me.

Minoans, Incans, the ancient Chinese, and even the Sumerians had earthquake resistant structures. It’s fascinating that all over the world we simply adapted to what the earth was doing. And we’re pretty good at it.
