AnirudhaIt’s A Person
The place was like a maze to them and they didn’t know the origin of the sound and they started to check everywhere. But when nothing was achieved they came back to the original position where they stood before and then they waited as the sound of steps kept getting louder and louder every moment. They saw an old lady coming out of one of the houses that were just in front of them. Was she there all this time? They thought. Then she showed her smiling face and greeted them. They all felt such a relief and started laughing looking at each other. She then took all of them to her house and as being old she told them everything and the mystery was soon to be revealed to them.
Unanswered Questions
They went inside the house and saw pictures that were hanged on the wall, old pottery that was kept on the tables, and some photographs of gods that they worship. The room was not as hot as compared to outside. After everybody was settled, their first question to the lady was, what is this place? She smiled and replied, this is my home. She told that she and her family have been living here for generations. She was old now and lives with her son and his family. Later, they got to know that there are other families too that lives here. Soon, everybody was aware of the fact that there are some strangers that have found the place. More people started coming out of their houses and the place was jampacked.
Sight-Seeing
The research team was amazed to see the crowd, they were so many. There were old, young men and women, and children that kept laughing looking at them. It was just like any other community that we have around us. Then the team took a tour of the place and the information about the history and the place amazed them to the core. It was all like an ancient tale to them that we hear from our grandparents. One of the residents accompanied them so that they don’t get lost as the place was a little confusing. He told them about the structure and the built of the houses. The research team was amazed to hear how deep these houses are. The video at the end of the article shows the depth of these places. It is amazing to see the drones taking off and landing deep down in the houses and recording everything.
Deeper And Deeper
The man told them that all of these houses are man-made that was built by their ancestors that used various natural materials they found back then. Talking about the depth of the house that goes deep from 20 to 23 feet and is anywhere 33 to 39 feet in length each. Now you could imagine why the temperature difference between outside and inside the houses. These houses are dug up so deep that it becomes difficult for sunlight to reach inside the house and the temperature always remains cold during summers and warm during winters.
‘Look, it’s warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s very comfortable to live inside.’ A typical house is about 23 feet below the ground, a local resident told the team.
What Is The Temperature?
Today, when the global warming is taking effect all over the world, the research team found a place that has stayed hidden inside the ground for almost 4,000 years. The most amazing thing to note here is that these houses exist underground and the walls have been made extremely well insulated. During the summers the temperature doesn’t go beyond 68 degrees Fahrenheit and in winters they experience mild temperatures average 50 degrees. Basically, these rooms are as cold as the air-conditioned room.
Routes
The team then decided to go back as it was getting late. Because the place was underground the light disappeared sooner than the ground above them. All the dwellings are well connected with the series of subterranean caves and tunnels. In case, people want to go above they have to exit through the caves to reach the ground level. As we told you, the place is kind of a maze that needs a thorough learning about the passage and their connectivity. But somehow these people have managed to live here with all the complexities.
