Well..back to 1 Jan 1900 anyway..
If I had a time machine my first stop would be to get the recipe for the concrete they used to pour the pyramids in ancient Egypt.
I'm so disappointed. I looked up my birthday. My name is not on the list of famous people.
That's a fun, little distraction! Thanks for sharing it.
Uh...Rob, and what would you do with this concrete knowledge I dare ask?
Build a house.
I imagine it has pretty low embodied energy compared to modern concrete; and it has stood up for 1000's of years (climate of course playing a major role in its longevity)
