Exploring Iran's Ancient Rock Villages: Inside the Timeless Homes of Kandovan

[@rue2003]

Those African houses have such beautiful patterns, interesting that like the Iranian village their roofs are also multi- purpose, sleeping, storing farm produce and enjoying the sun etc, beautiful ❤

[@ArmandCury]

Oh, yes! They look like an ancient NEW YORK or TORONTO, with those magnificent buildings and all those great scientifical things!

[@kaluagrace1148]

Kandovan is very beautiful. The people and their culture are so humbling. They have a gorgeous village and breathtaking scenery. I love their life. The entire country of Iran is so beautiful. I don't why the western world keep demonizing the country of Iran. They are such peaceful people. I hope the country of Iran does not get too westernized. Because the people that make up the nation of Iran are the soul winners and set an amazing example to the world. A wonderful journey throughout the country of Iran. Thank you for taking us throughout Iran with a better understanding and appreciate the humble architecture, it's village people and culture. I so much enjoyed this tour, Thank You, to the people of Iran for inviting us to share the beauty and the love of Country.

Hear hear everyone open your minds appreciate the beautiful world we live in i just watched an amazing video about an mexican man and his stay in america for so many years and then went back to mexico and decided to make bricks out of the stincky seaweed that ends up on the beaches of north america and mexico he researched and experimented untill he got the right ingredients to making these natural bricks and he first built his own house and then gave low income families houses and went to a place where he was able to demonstrate about his bricks which can withstand hurricanes and now hes got about 6/or so other countries around him who want to take up this method and he said they can be recycled what about that and perfect for requirements for especially poorer people and still live in a decent place and house the only thing we need is for all sorts of criminals who are unscrupulous and literally want to destroy everything that is good in every country so they are actually our enimies not the ordenary people of the world no matter what culture you come from or out of and make sure every one gets what they need especially in food and medicine weve got to look after ourselves and everyone else if we want peace ( offcourse if your happy with killing your neighbours for the sake of politics or religious reasons then its rather impossible to keep a peacefull coexistence isnt it so get past our own problems and biases and see how we can learn from eachother and if thats not possible go and live with people who are exactly like you and try to keep away from trouble try to fix your own mind thats what iam trying to do AND GET OVER IT whatever is holding you back from a peacefull mind thats all thankyou if you have the time or the courage to read this happy new year 2024 everyone and excellent health above all bye for now 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🌻🌻🌻🌏🌏🌈🌈🌈🌈🌹☔️☮️☮️☮️💟💟💟🕉️🕉️🕉️💐🦋🩷😍🥰💚😂🌸🙏🙏🙏

No country is perfect. I understand your defending what people stereotype Any country. However wrong is wrong globally. No one should except as a wife , any minute the second wife steps in, kicks out infants in the cold night, injured, can be attacked by wild animals or wild humans.

Iran sucks

[@adimeter]

It is a beautiful. IDK about the leaders, but the common man is warm and hospitable.

[@nanniebb]

I don't believe it's the "western world " has demonized them. I have Iranian neighbors who left Iran due to their government , not due to anything western at all.

[@exposingunjust]

Aww and the village women, sing for encouragement, that’s lovely and heavenly my grandmother used to hum

There is so much beauty and ruch culture to see in the world. Sad we are scared to travel to places.

[@poweroflove993]

We are terrified to travel to many places!!

[@mandandi]

Nice. In north-east Botswana, similar solidarity or collaborative culture exists, called 'mbizi' in the Kalanga language. This collaboration is applied across many projects - clearing farmland, building houses, ploughing, weeding, building kraals, doing certain time consuming tasks in the household and community at large, harvesting, collecting various items like thatch grass etc. The symbols are a way of capturing and transmitting information in the community at large.

[@abdullahkarim4678]

Great

[@Zinhle314]

It's the same thing in Zimbabwe Karanga people of Masvingo, it is called "humwe" or "nhimbe"

[@mandandi]

@@Zinhle314 Yeah, they are the same people who live in North-Eastern Botswana, called Kalanga. Beautiful culture.

[@Zinhle314]

@@mandandi Yes they’re, that’s my tribe from Masvingo called Karanga people but in Botswana they’re called Kalanga. We have been living and still there, a few kilometres from Great Zimbabwe Monument for years!

Its very cool that traditional homes still exist like that. The natural materials are very beautiful 👍

I hope one day you will return to your parents for a time to experience their way of life. It is a unique perspective that has already shaped who you are. I wish you all the best.

[@rebeccahenson5328]

What a beautiful place to live. You can feel the love emanating from everyone living there. I wish the whole world were like this. Thank you for showing us this. All the people in the world’s government s could learn what life should be like for all of us where everyone knows everyone and there is love and trust and less crime and turmoil. They have respect for each other. The whole world should see this!

[@doctorgoldbud1321]

They have a very simple lifestyle kind of laid back they seem like very nice and good people❤❤

[@freelanceopportunist559]

With the current worldwide housing crisis, perhaps its time to just find a secluded rock face and start digging. Those cone houses are magical.

[@staceyporter9885]

Agreed!

[@doctorgoldbud1321]

100 percent

[@srae7658]

good luck! All the land belongs to the government or to private land owners. They would have to sell it and it would not be cheap! Then you would need permits and have to check the zoning laws. We really know how to mess everything up!

[@adimeter]

@@srae7658 Oh no. Not here too.

[@cmartin5903]

​@@srae7658The government will fight over land, not rocks. Hence, I don't see a problem living on the side of a rock. ❤

[@Lady_Ingenious]

Fascinating!

[@teremuso]

The whole world and all cultures have always been fascinating to me. I thoroughly enjoy this program. The segment on Burkina Faso made me nostalgic for my own experiences in Mali as a Peace Corps volunteer in the mid-90s, and the first segment reminded me of Capadocia, Turkey where I visited in 2013. Fascinating!

The look on the males faces sitting around that the television has affected their mind set or contaminated the peaceful mindset of a village, theres a look of yearning on the face of the young guys that they can't wait to get out of this place so they can go to the modern, which is contaminated with corruption as shown on the tv that they watch.

From India it’s ok if they don’t want to demolish but they should take care of their buildings. When you’re proud of something you invest on it.

[@econrith]

This is something that is severely lacking in our culture, and that is the sense of being connected. We are ruled over rather than being included in the plans that are made on our behalf, and an awful lot of which absolutely make no sense. Would you entertain a group of persons to settle around you who believe you to be inferior to them, and as such have you marked for submission or death at some point in the future?

The architecture of the havelly near the Ganges, looks very inspired by Ottoman and Islamic architecture. I’m sure it originally was built by the Muslims, and the building belonged to Muslims. Later, probably the Hindus stole it from the Muslims. That priest said, only five of his generations lived there, but that doesn’t account for the last 400 year old building, which should go back around 20 generations. Many old Islamic heritage sights, mosques and older buildings, have been stolen from Muslim families, by extremist Hindus. Just the architecture alone, proves it’s from when India was ruled by the Sultanate. They can dress it up how they want now, but archaeological facts don’t lie.

There are millions of people especially the young who are learning about other cultures besides their own thats the way we bring peace not harbouring small minded ness and jumping of the gun to accuse SOME western media or group or individuals who havent got the brains to look futher then the end of their noses ???? Agreed ???? So love to you and your families in whatever house or dwellings you live and by the way did anybody notice how cosy and clean and practical these caves are ?. ?? Not to mention the magnificent carpets on the floor AND most likely hand made woven i ‘d say i could garentee it ( iam tottally impressed and i wish we could all use our imagination to build our own houses or dwellings in natural settings but unfortunately fhats not being realistic everyone has thei own idea how and where they can live or actually want to so i wish you all a brilliant new year and lets all be together in not wanting anymore wars or aggressions around the world i hope you all have everything you need to have a good life especially health and happiness and beautiful children ❤😂😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🌈🌈🌈🦋🍀🌻☔️☮️🕉️💟🦄🌏🌎💐🌸💯prc 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌹🌸😂
