It depends on the nature of the cataclysm. The Cheops pyramid is designed with a conductive material on the inside (an unnatural type of limestone) and was originally coated in a white marble. A non conductive material. A question worth asking is if the great pyramid was made to survive such a cataclysm why was it built in this way.
I could hazard a guess that is may well withstand an electrical catalysis. This is not so out of context when you research the squatting man and the electrical earth theory. Large scale cataclysm events could release a lot of plasma energy into the atmosphere.. Why were the ancients so concerned about drawing spirals.. What do you think dragon energy is. Why do Feng shui practitioners think that steeples are bad luck and can release bad energy. Why did the Chinese go to so much effort to flatten hill tops in the wrong areas.. Pyramid means fire in the middle....
At one time, the exterior of the Great Pyramid of Giza was covered in marble, which has eroded over the years
after extensive scanning electron microscope observations and other testing, Barsoum and his research group finally began to draw some conclusions about the pyramids. They found that the tiniest structures within the inner and outer casing stones were indeed consistent with a reconstituted limestone. The cement binding the limestone aggregate was either silicon dioxide (the building block of quartz) or a calcium and magnesium-rich silicate mineral.

Thank you for your reply.. I thought the great pyramid was once covered in white marble. I remember reading accounts from the past of how it use to glisten white in the sun... I do not get what you meant the outside was limestone too.. Marble, limestone and soap stone are all the same type of rock but have suffered varying degrees of heat and pressure... Maybe that is where the confusion lies..
As for un natural limestone what I meant was scientists now have growing evidence that the limestone blocks that make up the pyramid are man made..

I was listening to Coast to Coast AM the other night when they had a revisit of the Hoppe indian creation story. I know most of Coast to Coast is strictly for entertainment, not based in fact, but one thing he had to say interested me greatly.
His theory was that the great pyramids were the "ant hills" mentioned in the creation story.
The design of the pyramids do lend themselves to the idea of an ancient survival bunker. In fact I can't think of a more robust or simpler design that would do the job and be simple enough to be built by ancient people.
How much protection would a pyramid provide from things like global cooling, nuclear fallout, and other cataclysmic type problems?

It must've been a very select few, there isn't exactly a whole lot of room inside the pyramids.

The pyramids were built as communication devices. The design of a pyramid lends itself to oscillate at the frequency of 2003.50 hz using a transmitted Triangle Wave tone. This triangle wave is totally different from a Sine, Rectangular or Sawtooth Wave.
The 138 or so pyramids found so far (except the Great Pyramid) ,were all built as receivers.
The Great Pyramid was the transmitter.
The 4 air shafts were pointing towards 4 stars.
A person who possessed a handheld device, would simply tune to the frequency of the Pyramid and be able to communicate. Think in terms of Cellphones and Cellsites. A very simple method of communications existed 4000 years ago as it still does today in the Cosmos.

The Meidum pyramid probably made for Sneferu, it collapsed outwardly
What the pyramid may have looked like when it was complete
