Interesting site. Don't think I've ever heard anyone suggest the blocks were concrete. This is really remarkable if there's evidence to confirm it.
"The area of a circle is pi times the diamer."
Minor misremembering. That's the circumference. The area is pi*r^2. PI's a transcendental number (i.e., it's not the solution of any polynomial equation with integer coefficients).
