Sumerians used clay and straw to make bricks because clay provided strength and durability while straw added stability and helped prevent cracking during the drying process. The combination of clay and straw allowed Sumerians to build long-lasting structures such as temples, ziggurats, and city walls in Mesopotamia.
Sumerians made their bricks from clay and straw because it was plentiful in the area they lived in.
Sumerians used clay to make bricks because it was a readily available material in Mesopotamia. Clay bricks were durable and effective for constructing buildings that could withstand the region's hot climate and periodic flooding of the rivers. Brick-making also allowed for more efficient construction methods to support the growth of urban centers in ancient Sumer.
The Sumerians used baked mud bricks to construct their ziggurats. These bricks were made from clay mixed with water, shaped, and then baked in the sun or a kiln to harden. The ziggurats were then built by stacking these bricks on top of each other.
Sumerians used baked mud bricks to build their ziggurats. These mud bricks were stacked on top of each other to create a terraced structure, which served as a platform for the temple at the top. The ziggurat was usually coated with a layer of plaster or clay to protect the bricks from erosion.
Ziggurats were typically built using sun-dried bricks made from mud and clay. They were constructed in steps or terraces, with a core of mud bricks and an outer layer of baked bricks for added strength. The layers were then covered in a plaster made from mud and straw.
Sun-dried bricks made by Native Americans are known as adobe bricks. They are made by mixing clay-rich soil with water and straw, forming them into bricks, and then leaving them to dry in the sun. Adobe bricks are commonly used in Southwestern Native American architecture for homes and other structures.
Some inventions of the sumerians were the wheel, clay, and mud bricks

The Mesopotamians used clay and water, and they also used mud to build bricks. The Mesopotamians used clay and water to make he buildings stronger and higher like a skycrspper like a Ziggurat.

Clay mixed with straw.
Straw mixed with water, sand and clay. It is usually shaped into bricks and then left out in the sun to dry.
the fibers of the straw might cause a binding reaction when mixed in clay ..not sure though

Sometimes in the past (and still in some places in the world) bricks were made of straw, mud, and clay. The straw added extra strength or fiber to the brick and gave the mud and clay a better texture to shape a brick out of. You could subsitute straw with hay and make bricks out of that, thus giving you the needed material to lay a old fashioned cobbled or brick street.
