Description[]

Empires build in immortal stone, a challenge to the passing of time.

Stone is the most readily-available building material for humans after wood. Even bricks require more effort and energy than stoneworking. Granite, marble and limestone were quarried and used for construction and decorative art by all the classical cultures of Greece, Egypt, Persia, Rome and beyond. The toughness and durability of granite, for example, made it perfect for the Pharaohs' burial tombs that were supposed to last for eternity. The granite King’s Chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the only Wonder to have survived to the present day, is still virtually airtight nearly five thousand years after it was constructed. The Egyptians used limestone for the cladding on the outside of the pyramids because of its beauty. Limestone was a sensible choice given the dry Egyptian climate, but elsewhere rain and time have done terrible damage to limestone buildings and carvings. The Greeks and Romans preferred to use marble for their ornamental buildings and statues, at least as far as decoration was concerned. Augustus boasted that he turned Rome from a city of brick to a city of marble. Granite was often used for columns, city walls and, as chippings, for the famous Roman Roads.
