AB  - For over a thousand years, many ancient cements have remained durable despite 
      long-term exposure to atmospheric or humid agents. This review paper summarizes 
      technologies of worldwide ancient architectures which have shown remarkable 
      durability that has preserved them over thousands of years of constant erosion. 
      We aim to identify the influence of organic and inorganic additions in altering 
      cement properties and take these lost and forgotten technologies to the 
      production frontline. The types of additions were usually decided based on the 
      local environment and purpose of the structure. The ancient Romans built 
      magnificent structures by making hydraulic cement using volcanic ash. The ancient 
      Chinese introduced sticky rice and other local materials to improve the 
      properties of pure lime cement. A variety of organic and inorganic additions used 
      in traditional lime cement not only changes its properties but also improves its 
      durability for centuries. The benefits they bring to cement may also be useful in 
      enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) and microbially induced carbonate 
      precipitation (MICP) fields. For instance, sticky rice has been confirmed to play 
      a crucial role in regulating calcite crystal growth and providing interior 
      hydrophobic conditions, which contribute to improving the strength and durability 
      of EICP- and MICP-treated samples in a sustainable way.
