Quadag

Silica, plus limestone, equals civilisation.

The Nabataeans developed the technology necessary to create a cement-like substance called 'Quadag', which allowed them to build much-needed water tanks under desert conditions. To achieve this, they mixed silica with limestone to create waterproof cement, with great success. The first ever concrete-like buildings, dated 6500BC, were found in the region of Nabataea and are believed to have been built by traders hailing from these lands. So advanced was the technique, that the similarity between Nabataean and modern cement buildings is remarkable.
