*Concrete with rebar. Roman concrete has lasted plenty long. Though the lime in it helps.

    That is true. Roman Concrete is still standing 2k years on. Ours lasts decades, maybe a century if well done.

    They used ash from Mount Aetna in Sicily to make some of it. I forget the thing with the lime, how that was different than what we use?
