How Mongols Survive -50°C (-58°F) In Yurts: Engineering, Hygiene & Animals

Описание: How Mongols Survive -50°C (-58°F) In Yurts: Engineering, Hygiene & Animals

In this episode, we venture into the heart of the frozen steppe to deconstruct one of history’s most perfect autonomous survival systems — the Mongolian yurt, or Ger. At -50°C (-58°F), the cold is no longer just an inconvenience; it is a physical force that kills the unprepared.

In this technical breakdown, we analyze:

📌The Aerodynamics of the Ger: How its circular structure of wood and felt withstands hurricane-force winds and retains heat like a massive thermos.

📌Hygiene: The secret to staying clean when water is a solid block of ice and every drop of energy is precious.

📌Animals as Infrastructure: Why living with livestock wasn't a choice, but a brilliant engineering solution for thermal regulation.

📌The Calorie Engine: A look at a diet where fat and fermented milk become the primary fuel for the human body.

This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a story of how humanity integrates with nature, turning limited resources into an unbreakable life-support system.
