In the heart of a vast desert, the air was thick with history and tradition. The indigenous tribe of the area had thrived for centuries, using their ingenuity to build unique underground homes. These earth-sheltered dwellings were a testament to their harmony with nature and their deep understanding of their environment.
Mara, a young girl from the tribe, loved exploring the winding tunnels and cozy rooms of her family's underground home. The house, nestled beneath layers of sand and soil, was cool even in the scorching heat of summer and warm during the cold desert nights. Mara's grandmother often told her stories about their ancestors, who had learned to dig and shape the earth to create these magnificent homes.
As she grew older, Mara decided to document the knowledge and traditions of her people. She wanted to ensure that future generations would continue to build and appreciate these earth-covered homes, preserving a legacy of sustainability and reverence for the earth. Mara's stories spread beyond her tribe, inspiring others to look to the past for solutions to modern challenges.
In this way, the wisdom of the underground homes lived on, a bridge between ancient practices and a sustainable future. And Mara, with her love for her heritage, became a guardian of these timeless traditions.

I have mentioned before that I don't know why we insist on building above ground especially with the equipment we have now.

@Gnana_Helps In ground is easier to heat and cool. Also safer from things like tornadoes.
