Такие стены в домах строили веками в Средней Азии. Дом назывался битым, ширина 60см. Землю брали непосредственно у строительства, иногда добавляли глину. Родительский дом стоит с 1954г., деда ещё довоенный. Дома теплые и не жаркие. 6,4 бала выдерживали. Снаружи обмазывали глиняным раствором с добавлением соломы.

They didn't just build fortresses; they engineered permanent financial and military dominance right out of the dirt. Top-tier historical analysis

The Yemenis and Egyptians have known these facts for over 6,000 years. The only thing missing from the report is that you didn't mention the proportions of the ingredients in these secret mixtures, which are lime (calcium oxide), sand, gravel, and the most important element: fire.
