I often wondered about long term constructions, what structure would last for thousands of years? What structure would last against tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, lightning?

No. The pyramids of Egypt are relative new (5000 years). And the climate has helped preserve them.

The Mayan pyramids were not so lucky, (or the cambodgian temples)
