Um, OK. I think it's cause they didn't have I axes to cut down trees, so they couldnt get wood. They could easily make the bricks from clay. Hope that helps. Well, not really ^o^
Because they had plenty of mud around and no stone.
It lasted longish.

The bricks were made of cut stone
The Sumerians used mud bricks to build their houses. These bricks were made by mixing mud, water, and straw, and then drying them in the sun. The bricks were then stacked and bound together with mud mortar to construct their homes.
The materials used in building the ancient Roman Colosseum included travertine a type of limestone, a stone called Tuff, cement, and bricks. To a lesser extent costly marble was used for special places in the building.

Depends on how old the bricks are, because it counts a psychological problem : Will the bricks stand the construction? Will the building fall on my head?
Some inventions of the sumerians were the wheel, clay, and mud bricks
The wheel, plow, and bricks
copper tools and bricks
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 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.
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.
The Sumerians used sun-dried mud bricks because it was a readily available and affordable building material in the region. The bricks were lightweight, easy to shape, and when dried in the sun, they became durable and sturdy for constructing homes and other structures. Additionally, the material provided good insulation against the extreme heat of the region.
The Sumerians(Mesopotamians) made bricks out of mud and aperantly straw which is weird now go away!
Ancient people used composites for building their homes, a mix of mud and straw (composite material) would serve as bricks.
