The Nile Series: Brick-making tradition lives through centuries

There's something that Egyptian have been taking from the Nile for many of centuries, but which is naturally being replenished. The river has regularly been bringing in silt from upstream countries to Egypt, which has supported local brick-making activities, since the days of the pharaohs. Fahmida Miller now steps right into the mud, as she examines another enduring facet of the Nile.

Mud bricks probably aren’t very durable

[gnarlytreeman]

doesn't seem like manure added to the brick recipe adds quality. Also, this guys bricks are all lumpy and misshapen, probably why he is going out of business.
