untoppled
Never knocked down
Untoppled describes something that remains standing or in power despite forces that might have brought it down.
The word typically applies to statues, monuments, or regimes that have survived attempts at removal: The dictator's statue stood untoppled despite the revolution.
It implies endurance through challenge rather than mere stability.
