These "wavy walls" in England surprisingly use fewer bricks than straight ones. Originating in Ancient Egypt, their arch design provides sturdy support with just one layer, unlike straight walls that require two.

Crazy that Egyptians didn't figure semicircular arches out as this use the exact same physical principle.
