Yes, ancient Egyptians used straw mixed with mud to make bricks as it helped strengthen the bricks and allowed them to dry more quickly in the arid climate. This method of brick-making was commonly used in constructing buildings such as pyramids and temples.

What is origin of straw purchase?

It may harken back to the day when the Israelistes were slaves for the Pharoh and he increased their quota of bricks to make and withheld the important component of straw.

Why do you need straw to make brick?

Straw is used in brick-making, particularly in adobe bricks, to improve the structural integrity and durability of the final product. It acts as a binding agent that helps hold the clay or mud together, reducing cracking as the bricks dry. Additionally, straw enhances insulation properties and contributes to a lighter weight, making the bricks easier to handle and transport. Overall, incorporating straw can lead to stronger, more resilient building materials.
