Why were the houses in Mesopotamia built to mud?
Houses in Mesopotamia were built from mud bricks primarily because of the region's abundant supply of clay from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which made it a readily available building material. Mud bricks provided excellent thermal insulation, keeping homes cool in the hot climate and warm during cooler nights. Additionally, constructing with mud was cost-effective and suited the architectural needs of the time, allowing for the creation of sturdy and durable structures.
What were the materials used to built old houses?
Old houses were commonly built using natural materials readily available in the local environment. These included wood, stone, and clay, with timber being a primary choice due to its availability and ease of construction. In many regions, thatch or tiles were used for roofing, while mud and straw were often mixed to create adobe bricks or cob for walls. Additionally, materials like lime for mortar and plaster were also widely utilized in older construction methods.
