#yakhchal #yazd #windcatcher
How did the ancient inhabitants of the hot Iranian desert keep themselves cool during the intensely hot summers where even being in the shade is very unpleasant?
Well, besides the windcatchers they had in their homes of course, since we spoke about them a while ago.
Think about being in the middle of a hot dry desert, it would be a blessing to be able to drink cold beverages and eat ice cream in the middle of summer to cool off, or to keep your meat, dairy, fruits and other foods fresh for longer periods of time by cooling them.
But I am hearing you asking yourselves.. ice?? how on earth would they be able to provide ice in the middle of a hot and dry desert?
The answer to that is simple yet innovative; build a Yakhchal.
We don’t know for certain where the first ice houses were built on the planet, and we aren’t sure about when the first yakhchal was built either but we do know that around 400 BCE the Persian engineers were already mastering the art of storing ice in the middle of the desert, it was already a widespread phenomenon around this time.
This shows that the actual invention of the Yakhchal happened much earlier as you don’t master something by doing it for a short amount of time, but it’s unfortunately unclear for how long.
The practice of storing ice itself was already long established by the time of 400 BCE, we know for a fact that the Mongols were already storing ice for quite some time, although again it’s unclear for how long, but there are accounts of them doing it before 400 BCE.
Ice was mentioned in older texts in Iran from before 400 BCE, but there was no mention of how it was produced, which doesn’t allow scholars to interpret that as yakhchals already being used for very long before 400 BCE, although it is of course hypothesized as I said earlier, you don’t master something by doing it for a short amount of time.

Amazing how inventive ancient people were. They often achieved a lot with very little. Todays everybody talks about sustainibilty. Everybody wants to save energy and to produce less waste. But if we want to get there we need to rediscover these forgotten masterpieces.

I was in Iran in the 1990's and visited an isolated desert village. It didn't have a yakhchal but it's water was supplied by snowmelt channeled from the mountains via a qanat. A large adobe building built above where the qanat was exposed at the surface provided a cool place for residents to take a break from the desert heat. It was several degrees cooler than the outside air.

They had cooling systems in Chicago that used ice cold lake Michigan water back in the late 1800s. I also read about some worlds fair type thing out in Tempe, Arizona back in the 1980s that had giant wind catcher type cooling towers that could passively lower the air temperature by 10 or 20 degrees over a large area of the event pavillion. I think some stadiums and arenas built in the 1990s use similar principles.

I'm from Iran and I've seen the structure of yakhchals used in many "Zoorkhaneh"s(ancient gym). This kind of structure helped ancient body builders not to sweat. That kind of ancient gyms go back to more than 1000 years ago. They also had one or a few musicians called "Morshed" who perfomed music during exercises and sometimes gave them peptalks and words of wisdom which is amazing. In addition to body building, they also practiced wrestling.

In Caspian sea shores where I was born and raised, there are severe cold winters with lots of snoe turning into ice. In those regiones there were no ice houses like in desert areas but there were other methods (simple ice pits covered with insulating materielas built in small scale and locally all over the place) to have ice in summer.

as a person who lived long enough to remember going to an ice factory to buy big blocks of ice, the cost of having a centralized ice source and having to commute to and from, would be prohibitive compared to just having ur own freezers. water and power are really cheap, compared to teh cost of having to move to and from an ice house

@davidcadman4468 3 года назад

Back when I was a kid in the 1950's growing up in Central Ontario, Canada, a Local Saw Mill, cut ice off of the frozen lake in the Winter, and stored it in long sheds, in blocks, covered in sawdust. They would go around in the summer with wagons, the ice covered in sawdust and tarps, and the men would chip off chunks for the ice boxes in the village. Don't know how long they had been doing this, as I was born in 1948. It was in the 60's when they closed down, that electric freezers came to the area. Lot of things changed in the 60's. But that was the cost of progress :)

In my country, we're still using similar technique until these day. We use rice hull to cover ice. We can store ice in rice hull without melting it down for very long time and without electricity. Electricity is a bit expensive here and not everyone can use electricity.

@vmitchinson 2 года назад

I remember an ice house next to the RR Station. The ice was stored in saw dust and the ice man delivered ice for the ice boxes in homes. The ice was replaced from the train. This was on the Alberta praires during the 1940-50s when I was a kid. That has all disappeared and the tracks were ripped out about 20 years ago.

It's a form of chauvinism to presume that we are the peak of a constantly rising curve of technological advancement. Most of our understanding of Egypt and the pyramids is based on the interpretations made by people who stumbled upon massive ancient buildings, looked around, and couldn't find any construction equipment and therefore concluded that they must have lifted all those stones basically by hand.

You have to get down a certain depth in the ground,depending what part of the world you're in and you're basically escaping what the temperature is on the surface. Where I live in the southeastern US it doesn't get as hot as Persia (normally anyway lol) at least not on average and we're far enough north we could actually have a lengthy winter. But,we have a high water table,when we've had wet weather I've seen water hit at 4ft,so a lot goes into how deep it would need to be if possible at all. The desert might be the best place to do it because of the dryness itself.

@westcoastcanadian7930 3 года назад

I think your right. The moisture we have is a heat transfer so the dry air might keep a more stable temperature.

@samd1405 3 года назад

evaporation of water into dry air causes a considerable temperature drop. Not so in humid air. I think that's why this works. In the Southwest we have swamp coolers which are basically fans blowing on wet pads and they cool the air far cheaper and better than an air conditioner when it's dry out.

I wonder if a modern version could be designed that uses industrial practices like using municipal water and plumbing, enclosed freezing ponds to keep dirt and germs out, and machinery to break up the ice and convey it into the yakchal, and power it with solar. Sort of like a mash up of a hotel or restaurant ice machine and one of these.

@lalystar4230 3 года назад

We really should incorporate more of these ancient techniques in modern buildings! This would make for a great refridgerator anywhere in the world (Basically a large rootcellar with a domed roof). Even if you don't use it to store ice, it'd still be great to cut down on the electricity use these days! Love how they actually used water on the south side, to help cool the surrounding air!

@HistoryWithKayleigh 3 года назад

@PhilLesh69 3 года назад

They used to transport large blocks of ice from the Rockies by train to be used in large ice houses, ice caves and similar storage methods in cities and towns across the midwest. Many of the older buildings in Chicago still use water from lake Michigan to cool their buildings. Massive pipes run out to deeper colder parts of the lake pull in ice cold water that they dump over massive cooling towers and big giant air movers.

@elibeeblebrox1084 3 года назад

I always prefer taking the basement room when renting a house with roommates, since it stays cool in the summer and I don't mind putting on more clothes in the winter. Where I live, I won't even turn my computer on in the summer until sundown - unless I have a basement room. Home manufacturers here don't think we need AC. Fortunately there's some stigma about living in a basement so no one else ever wants the room lol

@@PhilLesh69 Toronto has a system called "deep water cooling system" that was built 20 years ago that takes water form the middle of lake Ontario and filters it to be used as drinking water. Before it is sent out to the city as drinking water it goes though a heat exchanger to cool a cooling loop that is used for cooling many of the large buildings in downtown Toronto.

@TheMajorActual 3 года назад

Great video. There's actually a similar method of chilling that was used mostly in Africa, where you nested a small pot inside a larger one, filled the space with sand (preferably), then poured water over the sand to release heat. You then placed the pot in a dark corner of the house (partially buried in the floor, if possible), and covered it with a lid. It won't get down to refrigerator temps, but it will keep foods reasonably fresh for a couple days, at least.

I have zero idea how I got to this video (I was listening to Afrikaans music from the 90''s!), but I love your work and now I have a whole lot of stuff to watch tonight. Nice work m'lady.

@HistoryWithKayleigh 3 года назад

Thank you 🤗 I am Dutch, maybe RU-vid made that connection somehow 😂

@pierrerossouw6083 3 года назад

@@HistoryWithKayleigh Sweet! The RU-vid algo is a thing unto its own. I am now watching your vid on the invention of alcohol - with a glass of wine in hand of course. I've been vinifying carrots and beetroot (and tomato, rice, chili, pears - actually I've tried to make wine from everything except an old sock) for years now and, it may take a little longer, but carrot wine is truly a beautiful thing. OK, back to your vid.

I'm always fascinated by ancient techniques and technologies that gave rise to modern tech and brainstorm ways it could be used to more efficiently thanks to today's knowledge. Like the fact they could use vessels that already contain water(like our modern day ice trays and particularly our ice molds) and gossamer clothe over the lower section's opening to act as a filter even if it reduces the effectiveness of the wind. Also potentially coat the inside in a resin or film(maybe even glass during the creation process), so that it doesn't leech dirt and minerals from the structure?

Thank you this channel's amazing to knowledge that you put out.

@miketrissel5494 2 года назад

Thank you for making such a clear concise video, and being honest. So many channels today, rather than saying we don't know, just say 'evolution' as a lead-in from one point to another, rather than your "we don't know" but can only imagine this was the reason. You don't thwart people's thinking this way, and allow them to further explore history with an open mind, and the goal to find real answers.

@HistoryWithKayleigh 2 года назад

Yes i do, i love history too much to steer it into a narrative

Good stuff Kayleigh 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 I wonder if you could build one in a less arid climate? Like southeast USA 🤔🤔🤔 Id build one.

@HistoryWithKayleigh 3 года назад

I think humidity plays the biggest part.. if it's too humid it won't work I'm afraid 🙂

@jacelandadventures1523 3 года назад

History with Kayleigh it’s definitely humid here! I guess I will just have to stick with building a castle 🏰 thank you for the information Kayleigh!

@XyzXyz-pm2rj 2 года назад

That opening made me click sub immediately Edit: the philosophy of the approach to this information and how she provides it is refreshing. A person with an open mind but still aware of the fluidity of change/ discoveries that rewrite what we thought was the only possibility. It’s awesome. Not a lot of people can view the world like that.

They are Great rendering explaining the mechanics of operation, but sometimes a actual photograph gives more insight to the design needed and materials used...

Though I cannot remember now exactly where I either read it or heard about it, I recall that there was a monarch in Mesopotamia who boasted in one of his proclamations, either on a stela or in a cuneiform tablet, that he possessed an ice house. It was the earliest one of which I had ever heard, and it must have been a primitive predecessor of later, more-advanced versions. At the time, I surmised that he must have had ice brought down from the mountains to the North and Northwest, and, then, stored in some sort of covered, insulated pit.

@josephyoung6749 3 года назад

Incredible. I have no doubt passive solutions such as this will inspire an entire generation of machines that will be deployable in a post-fossil-fueled world where people are more selective about the ways in which energy is harnessed.
