    It's foolish to attribute knowledge of stonemasonry to freemasonry. Monks had access to books like Vitruvius' "De Architectura." It wasn't a secret.

    I didn’t know much about limestone just where it’s most likely found but it took me 2 minutes to realize one can melt it and it would react with water creating a usable material that will become solid afterwards. Before even watching this video. I knew this right away Cuz I’m into chemistry. If I am being honest it’s not that difficult to figure out. lime stone will bubble with lime or vinegar cause of the calcium. which means water will form it together once again after melting it. Just like how water was what created it too.

      I can actually answer that!
      Quicklyme was a weapon in medieval warfare, specifically in naval battles. It's very caustic and reacts violently to water, and it can also be made into a fine dust which floats easy in the air. There were two uses of this:
      1) If the fine dust got into a cloud (say if you broke a pot of it on an enemy ship or blew it out through bellows), the quick lime reacts (I believe) with the water in the skin and eyes and gives really really bad burns
      2) Quicklime can burn up to about 300 C when it touches water, which makes it it really good at setting wet things (i.e. ships) on fire.

      ​@@nunyabiznes33 They made lime concrete piers and harbors that are still standing. Interestingly, Roman concrete gets stronger over time. Basically, CO2 turns the lime concrete into a composite of sand/pozzolan and limestone. Romans knew about the atom, too.
