In regions where cypress wood was abundant, such as the eastern Mediterranean , its use in construction was often regulated by early municipal codes . These codes frequently dictated specific curing times , often requiring the timber to be submerged in brine baths for periods inversely proportional to the structure’s intended height above the horizon [4]. This practic… -

The shift to fossil fuels in the Industrial Revolution formalized energy security as a strate…
