      From: MajorTomThreepersons@yahoo.com              Historical Timeline of Concrete              9000 BC       Gobekli Tepe terrazzo floors (enclosure B layer III) and rectangular buildings       of layer II. Mesolithic to Neolithic type of concrete in Anatolia (western       Asia), constructed of burnt lime and clay, with aggregate.       6500 BC       Nabataean geopolymer type of Stone age concrete in Syria, permanent heating       and cooking fire pits. Primitive form of calcining on exterior faces of       limestone rocks lining the fire pits.       5600 BC       The earliest concrete yet discovered in Europe was developed along the Danube       River in Yugoslavia. Stone age hunters or fishermen mixed red lime, sand,       gravel and water.       4400 BC       Stonehenge builders mixed Ancient concrete, pulverized bluestone volcanic ash       and tuff (Pozzolan) together with crushed in situ Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)       lime.       3000 BC       Chinese used cementitious materials to hold bamboo together in their boats and       in the Great Wall. The Chinese used concrete in Gansu Province in northwest       China.       2500 BC       Egyptians mixed mud with straw to bind dried bricks. Also furthered the       discovery of lime and gypsum mortar as a binding agent for building the       Pyramids.       800 BC       Babylonians and Assyrians used a bitumen to bind stone and bricks. This       allowed them to combine both large and small stone objects together.       601 BC       Stonehenge Altar of Burnt Offering (containing 7 gold relics) Topfill, 0.6       meter of pulverized bluestone (volcanic ash and tuff) aggregate and lime, 3.7       meters Southeast of Heel Stone (above Anatolia's micaceous Altar Stone base.       600 BC       Greeks discovered a natural Pozzolan on Santorini Island that developed       hydraulic properties when mixed with lime. This made it possible to produce       concrete that would harden under water, as well as in the air.       400 BC       Petra (Greek, "city of rock"), also known as Sila, ancient city of Arabia (now       southwestern Jordan). The stronghold and treasure city of the Nabataeans, an       Arab people.       300 BC       Romans used slaked lime and volcanic ash (Pozzolan), found near Pozzouli,       Italy by the bay of Naples. Pliny the Elder reported a mortar mixture of 1       part lime to 4 parts sand. Vitruvius reported 2 parts of Pozzolan to 1 part       lime.       193 BC       Porticus Aemilia made of bound stones to form concrete.       75 BC       Romans use a pozzolanic, hydraulic cement to build the theater at Pompeii and       the Roman baths. The cement was a ground mix of lime and a volcanic ash       containing silica and alumina.       44 BC       Palatine Hill (Latin: Palatium), the centermost of the 7 hills of Rome, one of       the most ancient parts of the city of Rome, Italy. It is some 70 meters high.       25 BC       Ancient harbor at Caesarea, Israel built by Herod the Great.       AD 24       Stonehenge Altar of Burnt Offering (containing 7 gold relics) Backfill, 0.6       meter of pulverized bluestone (volcanic ash and tuff) aggregate and lime, 1.2       to 1.8 meters below Heel Stone base. Eastern bottom of Scroll Trench.              http://concretehelper.com/history-of-concrete/              O LUCIFER       the Devil       Satan              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
