remember “The Money Pit” movie?
Wonder what it cost to reconstruct a structure using mud bricks.

They do pretty well in the parched, cracked earth, don’t they?
I guess a PhD in archeology doesn’t know much about botany.
I like his theory that high, small windows keep out “unwanted intruders like scorpions and snakes.” This must have been right after Adam and Eve when everything was peaceful and no man wanted to harm another.

I was just wondering if they were food plants, erosion control, or ‘just for pretty’.

When I worked in Yunnan Province of China ‘76-’77 the villagers built their homes from rammed earth. They couldn’t afford bricks. No glass in the windows, either. It was like a journey back 2,000 years.

Ancients would have painted their houses—at least a whitewash-—maybe put good luck symbols to ward off evil spirits.

You reminded me of something.
Does anyone know/remember what a ‘bottle tree’ is?
I had never seen one, until we drove by a house a couple of months ago that had one - in Maryland! :-)

A lime based whitewash has antibiotic properties.
Who knew there was any question that the average man had a mud constructed house. It’s not like he had a thousand slaves to haul and carve stone.

You mean a metal/wood structure with all your old empty wine bottles? Maybe they're just popular in the South because they're everywhere here. Never heard they were to ward off evil.

Yes, they are believed to have originally been used in Africa, to trap evil spirits. Lately they’ve become trendy yard art...

Yes...it’s not a revelation, is it? We need to explore other possibilities. Were the Home Depots were out of 2x4s and drywall?
