Katze :

Bro have you never heard of slate roofing?

Dave :

you forgot sod roofs. they were extremely common throughout human history.

Herder :

Casually not mentioning slate tiles or earth sods.

Ruben_Kelevra :

Wrong slate was also available and arguably roofing tiles are better then metal :)

theangrynewfie :

standing seam metal is the way to go

Viltsu :

some super rich used lead, but that was also a bit of a later thing and ruinously expensive for most

wizard :

slate?

magic_frog_wizard :

ive never seen bamboo roofing even after actively looking into various historical roofing options, thank you for this information

Jake l :

Just use a tarp lmao

drew j :

“Most of human history until the Industrial Revolution” what about animal hide? Most of human history was nomadic so I don’t think they were thatching or tiling

Matthew :

Daddy :

no humans use what ever is near by and most convenient if we couldent get large amounts of grass or grass that is long enough we used clay if it wad dry we would fire the clay into tiles if there was no clay we used slate if there was no slate we used animal skins humans are tenacious little fucks

British Royal Museum :
