Shibam: The Ancient Skyscrapers of Yemen
Om avsnittet
We explore the architectural marvel of Shibam, often called Manhattan of the Desert, located in the Hadhramaut region. Lucas and Luna discuss how these multi-story mud-brick towers were built to protect residents from Bedouin raids, featuring a unique urban planning system that predates modern skyscrapers by centuries. We examine the engineering behind the rammed earth construction, the role of the Banu Wazir family in maintaining the city's structure, and why this UNESCO World Heritage site remains a testament to adaptive desert living despite modern conflicts.
