Brick Bc

Archaeological evidence from Ancient Jericho/Tell es-Sultan reveals the use of sun-dried mud bricks dating back at least 10,000 years, marking one of the earliest known instances of brick construction. Excavated specimens display distinct Neolithic hand marks, providing tangible proof of early human engineering techniques in what is believed to be the world's oldest continuously inhabited town. The study highlights the significance of these findings in understanding prehistoric architectural practices and the development of settled communities.
