How many concrete pours did ancient civilizations do though?

    We're not talking about "pouring concrete" in a literal way though, right? What i take from OP is people don't express themselves with hard labour work when they can do it with easier stuff, which is completely wrong, because one, people build big stuff for fun all the time, and two, people can and do actually do both.
