Brick is an essential element in building. Raw bricks are made by soaking the soil in a rectangular mold, then drying it in the sun. When raw bricks are burnt in fire, hard bricks are made. Sun-dried or burnt bricks have been used in many parts of the world since ancient times. Although brick is not as durable and strong as stone; Yet its popularity and use are the highest for availability, low cost and low weight. When making bricks, some bricks burn more and swell like a cake to form a hard dark brown-curved brick, called jhama or jhama brick. Jhama is used for rubbing as it is hard and rough.
The oldest brick was found 7,500 years before Christ. The bricks were collected from the Tigris area near Diabaki, in southeastern Anatolia. Less ancient bricks have been found in the Jericho and Catal Haiyuk areas between 7,000 and 6,395 BC. It is widely believed, however, that burnt bricks were made in the Middle East in the third century BC. Baked bricks work against cold and humid weather and are quite strong in nature.
