Amazing stone building!

Stones or rock structures were one of the best building materials since ancient time. It brings some advantages and convenience:

- It is the longest lasting building material
- It is usually readily available
- It is dense so it gives protection to building


Rock structures were the ample resources for early settlers. Circular huts were constructed from loose granite rocks throughout the Neolithic and early Bronze Age, and the remains of an estimated 5,000 can still be seen today.



Granite continued to be used throughout the Medieval period and into modern times. Lets us see a good example of granite building. The Dartmoor Longhouse.


It is a type of traditional home, found on the high ground of Dartmoor, UK. Construction of this building is believed to have started in the 13th century. This type of longhouse, which was made of granite, still inhabited today while others have been converted into farm buildings.


Slate is another stone type, commonly used as roofing material in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world where it is found.



There are many famous building made up of rock structures such as granite rocks. The granite-strewn uplands of Dartmoor National Park, United Kingdom. Picture is below:



Mostly stone buildings can be seen in most major cities, some civilizations built entirely with stone such as the Pyramids in Egypt, the Aztec pyramids and the remains of the Inca civilization.

Picture above is the Aztec Pyramid. =)

That is the end of the topic. Hope you guys will enjoy reading. =D
