Dyanne of VagabondChick.com. When others were merely warm, her guessing was hot and in very little time, she nailed it!
The Answer: Beehive House, Harran, Turkey
This photo, of a traditional “beehive” house–the roof, specifically–was shot in the Harran in Eastern Turkey. No wood or stone was used to make this structure–just adobe–and as you can imagine, it helped keep people cool in a brutally hot climate.
The Harran was a major cultural, commercial, and religious center back in the Bronze Age, and was first inhabited in 2300 BC. The city was the home of the Mesopotamian moon god Sin, under the Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Romans. Some people are still inhabiting the region.
Here’s another photo–this one of several of the homes.
