In those days, clay bricks were drived in the sun and later they were dried in kilns. the oldest bricks was made in a kiln at Kalib angan village in India and today this brick is kept in the Ancient Bricks Museum of America. In ancient times, due to under development of transport, the bricks were built near the construction site.
