From the History of Building
Many thousands of years ago there were no houses such as people live in today. In hot countries people sometimes made their homes in the trees and used leaves to protect themselves from rain or sun. In colder countries they dwelt in caves. Later people left their caves and trees and began to build houses of different materials such as mud, wood or stones.
Later people found out that brick made of mud and dried in the hot sunshine became almost as hard as atones. In ancient Egypt especially, people learned the use of these gun-dried mud bricks. Some of their buildings are still standing after several thousands of years.
The ancient Egyptians discovered how to cut stone for building purposes. They erected temples, palaces and huge tombs. The greatest tomb is the stone pyramid of Khufu, King of Egypt. The ancient Egyptians of ten erected their huge buildings without thin king of their usefulness.
The ancient Greeks also understand the art of building with cut stone, and their buildings were beautiful as well as useful. They often used pillars, partly for supporting the roofs and part for decoration. Parts of these ancient buildings can still be seen today in Greece.
During the last hundred years many new methods of building have been discovered. One of the most recent discoveries is the usefulness of steel as a building material.
Nowadays when it is necessary to have a very tall building, the frame of it is first built in steel and then the building is completed in concrete. Concrete is an artificial kind of stone, much cheaper than brick or natural stone and much stronger than they are.
