Long ago, people didn't have homes and slept in forests and caves without windows. They started building simple shelters made of wood and plants, but these didn't last long. The Ancient Egyptians made houses from mud and straw bricks, with flat roofs for sleeping on. Other civilizations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas also built mud houses. Stone houses were considered strong and were used by both poor and rich people, with rich people constructing stone castles that took years to build. The Ancient Greeks used mud bricks on top of stone blocks for their houses. The Incas in Peru built houses with carefully cut and polished stone blocks. Chinese people built wooden houses with bamboo roofs on platforms to protect them from water. The Romans used wood, mud, stone, and concrete to build their houses.

A long time ago, people did not build permanent homes and instead slept in caves and forests. They created simple shelters using wood and plants, which were temporary and often left no trace. The first more stable houses were made from straw, but they were not strong. The Ancient Egyptians improved construction by using mud and straw bricks, which they dried in the sun. Their houses had flat roofs and openings for windows and doors.
Other cultures, including those in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, also built mud houses. Wealthier individuals constructed stone castles, while the Ancient Greeks used mud bricks on stone foundations and tiled roofs. The Incas in Peru crafted polished stone houses, and the Ancient Chinese built wooden houses with long bamboo roofs elevated on platforms. The Ancient Romans combined wood, mud, and stone in their homes and used materials like concrete that are still in use today.

People used wood and plants to make shelters - simple places to sleep in. They were at
first very simple and perhaps lasted only a few days or months. People cut wood from trees to
make the shape of the shelter. Then they used other plants to make the roof and the walls. The
very simplest shelters leave no traces, that's why we can say little about very early construction.
The first houses were made from dry plants like straw. These houses weren't very strong.
The Ancient Egyptians built houses with bricks made of mud and straw. They put the
mixture into moulds and left them in the sun to dry. Then they built walls with the bricks and put wet mud 0n top. There were holes in the walls for windows and doors. Egyptian houses had flat roofs. People often slept on the roof because N was cool. In the past other people in Asia,
Africa,
and South and North America built mud houses, too.
