One Of The Most Ancient Air Conditioning Systems Discovered In Kuwait

MessageToEagle.com – Has one of the most ancient air conditioning systems been discovered? There are certain indications, it could very well be the case.

Using modern 3D methodology archaeologists wanted to learn as much as possible about the largest inhabitable settlement building in Kuwait.

During excavation works at al-Kusur settlement on Failaka Island in the Persian Gulf they came across an ancient air conditioning.

The study was part of a Kuwaiti-Slovak archaeological mission, attended by 11 experts – archaeologists, technicians and restorers of the Slovak Academy of Sciences’ (SAV) Archaeological Institute.

“As a result, a well-preserved palace dating from the 7th-8th century was discovered, representing an “advanced architecture, traditionally built from unfired bricks on stone foundations, “SAV Archaeological Institute director Matej Ruttkay said.

During the excavations a stone tower with a comprehensive system of canals was also uncovered.

“According to a preliminary analysis, it’s a unique so-called windcatch-tower, utilising an ingenious interior cooling system based on the flow of air, caught by openings in the tower superstructure,” the institute head claimed.

Ruttkay explained that the energy-efficient ventilation system used to be prevalent mostly in Iran and the Middle East, later in North Africa.

Now, researchers think they have come across the most ancient air conditioning systems in history.
