How tall can you built a mountain chain of bricks?
$begingroup$
My ancient golden dragon has a lot of time, since he doesn't die of old age in my world, and a lot of magical constructs that will tirelessly built a defensive mountain chain for him.
This chain will act as defence as well as a testament of his might.
It consists of blocks stacked on each other.
There don't need to be any rooms in it apart from maybe some small guard garrisons near the top. Other than that it can be solid stone blocks and as wide as need be.
The wall will be 3000 km long.
One side should be as close to vertical as possible, the other can be sloped.
Earthquakes shouldn't be taken into account, wind can be a factor.
Bricks should preferably be made from materials easily available. Better ones can be constructed trough magic but then the "reward"/"cost" tradeoff should be high enough.
One construct would be able to carry 1000 kg(2200 pounds) to the top of the wall in each trip.
Presume that simple resources are no problem.
Builder constructs created over estimated time frame should be the biggest thing to consider.

Please use vertical or steep instead of straight. The vertical side is going to be a pain as it makes the centre of gravity lopsided, which will limit the height of your mountain. EDIT: I made the change above, please roll back if needed

A quick Google search says that a high-quality brick will have a compressive strength of around 100 kg per square centimeter. A similarly quick Google search says those high-quality bricks have a density of around 0.002 kilograms per cubic centimeter. Simple math says that a brick wall 500 meters tall will be heavy enough to crush the bottom layer of bricks.
In practice, I suspect that imperfections in the bricklaying, a desire for safety margins, and similar factors will limit your mountain of bricks to around 250 meters in height. Still taller than the Great Pyramid.

It seems these numbers refer to a single brick. Won't surrounding the brick with more bricks on all sides (as done by building a wall) stabilize it and increase it's compressive strength?

@Elmy, no. Making the wall thicker will make it less likely to fall over, but it won't do anything about reducing the pressure on the bottom brick.

Looking around on the internet one finds that the better graded brick have a compressive strength of 125 $N/mm^2$, while the weight of a brick is around 500 $N/m^2$, or 0.05 $N/mm^2$.
This means that you need to stack roughly $125/0.05 = 2500$ bricks to have them crushed under their own weight. That will do for a few hundred meters at best, nothing more.

Please use vertical or steep instead of straight. The vertical side is going to be a pain as it makes the centre of gravity lopsided, which will limit the height of your mountain. EDIT: I made the change above, please roll back if needed
