So there are several scientific articles on the internet that state that the old 1000+ year construction in Chinese that has plaster on its walls, and mortar used for building, used a secret ingredient that gave it super strength and buildability which was basically sticky rice soup. They would mix this soup into their mix which gave it a inorganic/organic structure many of which are still standing today and gave the plaster awesome water blocking features.

Anybody ever use this or have anything to add to this?
