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!

[@BP-iz2lt]

are you on drugs?

[@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 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🌻🌻🌻🌏🌏🌈🌈🌈🌈🌹☔️☮️☮️☮️💟💟💟🕉️🕉️🕉️💐🦋🩷😍🥰💚😂🌸🙏🙏🙏

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.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

So hospitable Iranians. I wish our countries were not at war with each. Cheers from the US.

[@eljumaidilbinahmad2464]

@Dan-xx5jq, sorry I am not Iranian, but Iranians are nice people. It is the Zionist US's bad politicians that spread corruption all over the world and "bully" other countries. The US citizens are peace-loving people. We know that. It is only the US bad politicians or the so-called globalists who often create problems for the whole globe!

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!

Amazing homes and community. Nice to find out about the rock homes.

[@mickymouse2445]

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

[@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"

[@noraa3428]

Not everyone believes they are sons of god, majority do not. Nice comment but it's nice if it connects to your faith. Everyone are sons and daughters of Adam and eve. There are two bigoted sons in the bible not just one and lots of sons. There are three types of sons Literal son biological which doesn't make sense and more than one in bible so why is one the focus? Jesus bigoted son! Again there are at least two I believe the other is David in the book. Yes only has a mother not father = emasculate conception, but Adam was created IN HEAVEN and has no mother or father! Why isn't he worshiped instead of Jesus. The other is adopted son which isn't the case. The last is familiarity son, like a priest calling a child son or daughter to show closeness and care ! ❤
