I was very surprised when I saw ancient cement kiln in Peru, very similar in size and technique to freshly built one (20 years ago) near to my parents town, but labeled as «a religious structure fit with stones».
As I see here[0], cement stucko on top of natural stone was pretty popular technique back then.

- madaxe_again 1y agoAh, but that’s ritual cement
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoFor fertility.

- Razengan 1y agoAccording to archaeologists every object is either a religious object or a "fertility" fetish, because that's all that humans could think about yesterday.
- Kye 1y agoI forget which sci-fi show it was, but there was a scene with an archaeologist digging up a modern bar. A beer mug was described as a "ceremonial goblet."
