The above picture is beehive houses in Syria. Can you imagine living in a home like this. No windows to speak of and no indoor heating or air conditioning. However, I have heard that they can be very cool in the summer when the air outside is stiffling.
Then there are the conical houses of Haran, Turkey. I rather like this view. It looks clean and inviting. I can imagine myself sitting outside with a glass of mint tea and talking with neighbors.
Do you think that travelers would see one of these homes and take the idea back with them to build for themselves?
Would you belive that these huts were made without mortar? Yes, and they were lived in by monks in Skellig Michael, Ireland.
Native Americans had their own version of the conical hut, but not made with mud or stone but animal hides. My home is quite simple and needing a thick coat of paint. Anyway, a home is your castle or maybe a hut.
