    This diagram is wrong, it simply wouldn’t work if that was the design. There is no Venturi effect suction power to draw in the cool air.

    The wiki has a much better diagram that actually would work ; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanat#/media/File%3AQanat_wind_tower.svg

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
