One of the oldest building materials known to man is mud bricks, also known as adobe. These bricks have been used for thousands of years in various civilizations for building structures such as houses, walls, and temples. Mud bricks are made by mixing mud with a binding material such as straw, shaping it into bricks, and letting it dry in the sun.

What is the oldest man made building?

The oldest I've heard of that were likely permanent are houses on the Isle of Man. 9000 years old.The oldest evidence of 'structures' ever are in Japan, from about 500,000 years ago, a hut. But since it was built by Homo Erectus, not Homo Sapiens, it may not fall under the category of "man" made.---There are several claimants to the "oldest standing structure" which include the pyramids of Egypt, the stone temples of Malta, and the Knap of Howar (Scotland). All of these pre-date written records.See the related links below for more information.
