The oldest brick found was made before 7500 BCR at Tell Aswad. It was made of shaped mud. The longevity of bricks is dependant on their use. Fire bricks in furnaces are rapidly degraded by the extreme temperature conditions. Even bricks for housing were initially made of two types, for the exterior and so more durable, and for the wall interiors and were less durable as they were designed for insulation not weather resistance.
