Adobe is a Spanish word that comes from a Arabic word that comes from an ancient Eygptian word. The practice has been done around the world in many unrelated places for at least 4000 years. When the Spanish arrived in the Southwest the Native peoples already built with mud adobe and stone. They used baskets or handfuls or puddling to build the walls. The Spanish brought the idea of sundried brick making. Adobe in Spain goes back to the late Bronze Age and in the Americas it goes back several thousand years. The name and some of the techniques came to Spain with the Muslim rulers that came from North Africa and Arab lands in 711 CE.
