The Romans created concrete which has lasted thousands of years.
Their descendants create concrete which lasts thousands of minutes.

Its because of where the Romams got their ingredients from.
They had a mix where there were still very small pockets of lime in the mix. If cracks formed, the lime in the pockets activated with the water, and the concrete self-healed itself. Thats why its lasted so long.

That’s because some Roman contractors cut corners and didn’t aerate their concrete. Cheap bastards. /s
