← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from masonry quality in pre-Roman Mycenae?
A)Cyclopean wall structures survived erosion✓
B)Linear B script resisted decipherment
C)Pottery shards aided relative dating
D)Bronze implements experienced slower corrosion
💡 Explanation
Seismic stability was achieved because interlocking masonry relied on friction; Cyclopean construction employed massive blocks and careful fitting. This allowed structures to withstand earthquakes; therefore, walls remained standing, rather than simpler stacked walls which collapsed more easily.
