Excerpt from Refractories and Furnaces: Properties, Preparation, and Application of Materials Used in the Construction and Operation of Furnaces

Archaeological investigations prove that bricks were used in Egypt as far back as 1200 years The height of a stadium about the temple of Belus, built at this time, was some 700 feet, and a brick wall, eight miles in circumference, surrounded the whole. Some pyramids were built of brick, and one, built by King Asychis, bore a stone plate with an inscription to the effect that the brick pyramid regarded itself as towering above the stone pyramids as Zeus over the gods.
