How did Ancient Persians survive brutal desert heat without electricity?
In cities like Yazd and Kerman, where summer temperatures regularly climbed above 45°C — sometimes reaching 50°C — entire communities lived comfortably without air conditioning.
Their secret wasn’t technology.
It was architecture.
In this video, we explore how Persian engineers designed:
Badgirs (windcatchers) that captured and redirected airflow
Qanat underground water systems that enabled evaporative cooling
Thick mudbrick walls with powerful thermal mass
Sardabs (underground rooms) that tapped into geothermal stability
Yakhchals, desert ice houses that preserved ice in extreme heat
Entire cities planned around shade, airflow, and passive cooling
These weren’t primitive buildings.
They were precision climate machines built using wind, water, and earth.
Long before compressors and power grids, Ancient Persia mastered the physics of survival.
As modern cities struggle with rising temperatures and energy demands, these ancient solutions may be more relevant than ever.
