The Romans built roads across modern-day Turkey with much of the same materials available in Iran. But even 2000 years ago, they gave up on mud, and developed the first concrete. I guess that knowledge hasn't filtered its way down yet.

Sorry, i was talking about the mesopotamia region (iraq and Iran)

And to Dopey..Civilization, began in the mid east, but i understand your jealousy.. you barely have a history.
