Ctrl F "brick". Nothing about bricks and concrete in all the history of wall surfaces.

Brick is mentioned near the top:

> a method of constructing walls that has been a mainstay for at least 6,000 years, predating mud bricks

To be fair the article is about drywall and its history, not the history of all walls in general.
