Mudbrick

Mudbrick is a kind of brick that is made from mud (or clay) that has been dry under the sun. To make mudbrick, people mix mud (or clay) with straw or other materials. Then the mixture is shaped into the shape of a brick and left to dry in the sun. After some time, the mudbrick becomes very hard, and it can be used to build houses, walls or other structures. Mudbrick is very useful in places where there is a lot of mud or clay and not a lot of wood or stone. It is also cheap and easy to make, so people have been using it for thousands of years to build homes around the world.
