That's not pavement, it's soil. There just grows no grass there due to climate and the pollution doesn't help either.
>The list cites air pollution by particulates (including radioisotopes strontium-90, and caesium-137 and metals nickel, copper, cobalt, lead and selenium) and by gases (such as nitrogen and carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, phenols and hydrogen sulfide). The Institute estimates four million tons of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, arsenic, selenium and zinc are released into the air every year.

>Built without beasts of burden or likely much use of metal tools since the area only had very limited metallurgy with copper and a few other metals and they tended to resevre them for religious items or currency

Okay.

How about "cheap, soulless reinforced concrete, a trademark of the Soviet system, played a significant role in the outcome of the Battle of Stalingrad."

Because Dresden didn't do nearly as well when the bombs started falling.

I can't tell if my meme education was wrong or google images isn't telling the real story.

I was always told that Stalingrad withstood air attack exceptionally well thanks to communists using reinforced concrete for everything.

>>2220405
Were you educated in the 1950s Soviet Union or something?

To start with, Stalingrad didn't face nearly the same amount of bombing as Dresden did, because of sophisticated anti-air defenses along the Volga. At certain points of the war the city was basically impenetrable through air.

Some environments are abundant enough in natural resources that they can settle down in one place, gathering and storing local foods like fish, berries, etc. Sedentism and abundant resources allow population to grow, which sometimes results in semi-complex societies called 'complex hunter-gatherers'. It's often these societies that first pioneered agriculture, as their high sedenary populations lead to a need to alter their environment and cultivate local plants. Other examples are the Natufians and the builders of Gobekli Tepe in the Middle East, or the natives of the Pacific Northwest )pic related) in America.

>>2223129
I thought nobody was sure who built Gobekli Tepe, and now all of a sudden i see a definitive answer on 4chan by an anonymous poster, that it was actually "Complex hunter-gatherers"

Got any source for that?

>>2223294
There's a lot we don't know about it and probably never will know, but it's generally accepted that it was built by a pre-agricultural society living in an environment similar to that of the Natufians. You can find that in just about any article about the site. I'm not sure if the hunter-gatherers who built it were sedentary or just semi-sedentary though.

Here's one source;
http://www.ancient.eu/article/234/
>The many examples of sculptures and megalithic architecture which make up what is perhaps the world’s earliest temple at Göbekli Tepe predate pottery, metallurgy, the invention of writing, the wheel and the beginning of agriculture. The fact that hunter–gatherer peoples could organize the construction of such a complex site as far back as the 10th or 11th millennium BC not only revolutionizes our understanding of hunter-gatherer culture but poses a serious challenge to the conventional view of the rise of civilization.
>The planning and building of such a site as Göbekli Tepe would have required a degree of organization and resources hitherto unknown in hunter-gatherer societies. Schmidt has made the intriguing suggestion that rather than building temples and other religious structures after they had learned to farm and live in settled communities, the hunter-gatherers of the area first constructed megalithic sites like Göbekli Tepe and thus laid the foundation for the later development of complex societies.
