I wonder if someone could get super insanely rich by building a pipeline to the middle of the desert from the ocean, digging a giant hole and building a beach resort on formerly worthless land.
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out how in the world they managed to get mud or even mortar to build a structure like that, in such an environment. I don’t know why “dig a well” was the farthest thing from my mind.
How does it keep from being submerged in sand? The ground around the ksar is a different shade, is that what prevents piling? Or is the area bereft of wind? Did they build the area underneath or is it naturally occurring? I have too many questions!
