Why did they use limestone to build shelters long ago?

If they lived in an area with lots of limestone in, it was probably the best thing available.

It lasts a long time, too, (although limestone carvings do eventually erode). The pyramids are made of limestone, and they've been standing for a few thousand years. The main disadvantage is that it's very heavy.
