How come when I’ve been saying this for the last three years, people think I’m nuts? It’s the only thing that makes sense, both for achieving a perfectly level surface and for getting a large block at that height.

I'd imagine that the limestone concrete would be more expensive therefore only used for the 'permanent' structures, while the mud bricks would be done for the non-permanent structures like, well, everything else.

here we go with this one again. nobody poured anything, the authors of the article obviously never bothered to read the two or three difinitive texts on the subject- the best one was written in 1929.
