I find it interesting that despite the  fact that at least in Egypt and
certainly historically elsewhere, building  with bricks and mud (and stone)
was well known, when discussing "Mizbach  Adama", none of the mefarshim
consider that it was literally built from soil.  <<

Was it "literally built from soil"?  I thought it was a hollow copper  (or 
maybe brass) block with a copper mesh covering, and that when they  camped, 
they filled the hollow copper block with soil.
