Found out that ancient Roman concrete recipe is still a mystery after a talk at the local museum

I always figured we had it all figured out with modern science, but a researcher at the museum last Saturday explained how their concrete actually gets stronger over time in seawater and we still can't fully replicate it. Has anyone else come across a modern project trying to copy that exact mix?

Did you ever wonder why we stopped using their simple volcanic ash mix?

The ash mix held up way better on our old patio.
