I was under the impression with Roman concrete that we modern folks can reverse engineer it and understand it just fine, but that the art was lost for 1k+ years

I was under the impression with Roman concrete that we modern folks can reverse engineer it and understand it just fine, but that the art was lost for 1k+ years.
Is this a myth I have fallen for?
- serverlessmom 4y agoThe myth that persists to this day is "the Romans made better concrete that not even we, with all our science, can match." It's perfectly true that medieval Europeans had no idea how to make roman concrete.
- Nursie 4y agoAh right, thanks for the clarification there :)
