The Incredible Dome Tents of Iran, چادرهای باورنکردنی گنبد ایران ، شاهسوان آلاچیق

- Not all tents are created equal, and the domed alachigh (yurts) of the Shahsavan nomads must be some of the most sophisticated on Earth. The whole structure is pre-tensioned before the felt cover is placed, which gives an incredible rigidity to the tent, able to withstand the gales that blow across their high mountain landscape. The Shahsavan are some of the world's most renowned weavers, and their beautiful straps and rugs adorn the tents and make them like palaces fit for an Iranian prince.
The Shahsavan formed in the eighteenth century from a confederation of tribes who occupied a region that spanned the Iran/Azarbaijan border. In 1884 the border was closed by the Russians and the tribe split in two, part in Iran and part in Azarbaijan. Since then the nomads have had to work hard to try to hold onto their lands and traditional way of life. This was filmed on the Iranian side of the border.
همه چادرها به طور یکسان ایجاد نشده اند و یورت های گنبدی عشایر شهسوان باید برخی از پیشرفته ترین روی زمین باشد. قبل از قرار دادن جلد نمد ، کل ساختار از قبل تنش یافته است ، که سفتی فوق العاده ای به چادر می دهد ، قادر به مقاومت در برابر گال هایی است که در چشم انداز کوه مرتفع آنها قرار دارد. شاهسوان برخی از مشهورترین بافندگان جهان هستند و تسمه ها و فرشهای زیبای آنها چادرها را زینت می دهد و آنها را مانند کاخ هایی مناسب برای یک شاهزاده ایرانی قرار می دهد.
My hat is off to the people who cherish their traditions . Their contribution is not just to their own culture but to the entire human history .
We all have something of value to share with others. And we all most certainly have a lot to learn.
The design is truly amazing and yet so simple, just a rope that pulls down a circle which holds a lot of bent sticks
Then you better don't support your own western countries because they destroy such things.
Return to tradition
@@ironhat2 That is something of an essential truth. We all should acknowledge it instead of looking down on unfortunate people.
The ultimate off grid living. And more importantly involves cooperating, working together and sharing, not wasting anything. Our ancestors got this part right too.
I'm sorry you live in such a horrible place.
Nope we ve got it wrong !!! ... but .. enjoy yourself !
Yes but remember that they cannot escape the people they're with: it's bound to feel suffocating or even threatening at times.
@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B I really hate how people romanticize incredibly harsh and unforgiving lifestyles because of one or things they personally like about it.
Family working together. How much simple can it get. I enjoyed it.
I am in awe to watch such cooperation and togetherness these folks have.
They are obviously a peaceful people. May God bless them.
یاشاسین شاهسون.... یاشاسین ایران ... Thanks for your beautiful video. Long live Iran and Iranians
But they are Turks. Not Iranians.

I literally cried, it took me to my own childhood years ago, my grandparents were nomads in Ardabil region. They lived the same way until when may grandfather passed away due to cancer and my grandmother has ultimately settled in the city of Ardabil since then.
Thank you for the footage !!! You have so beautifully recorded an old way of life which is on the brink of extinction these days due to urbanization.
Thank you. As an outsider I was offered warmth and genuine hospitality accepted by the nomadic people, in what was otherwise a very difficult trip to your country.
Bless you and your beautiful culture my friend

Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to learn and appreciate these amazing structures, and the place where they are used.
Iran its not just what you see on the news media Iran has the real side a beautiful nation with remarkable cultures and also instructive very formative video like this one !
Awesome craftsmanship, a joy to watch.
Watching this brings me back in time thousands of years ago. Thanks for sharing.
I'm doing research on traditional temporary dwellings for an architecture project. I stumbled upon your channel and looked and this video, not expecting that they would speak my mother tongue! I really enjoyed watching it and learning from it, feeling a bit sad that I grow up in this country and never had the chance to get to know their culture from upclose like you. Thanks a lot for documenting it and sharing it!
what wood are they using?
i hope one day you can travel and experience this stuff for yourself. ill pray to ganesha for you
I had an Irani roommate in college -- best roommate I've ever had! Plus, he got me addicted to Persian food. OMG! It's been too long since I've had Ghormeh Sabzi!
@@aristobrat4987🥰🥰🥰👃✌️🇨🇦
This gives me an appreciation for a people and a culture I know nothing about. At the very center and heart of things, all people cherish and value the same things; simple, happy and healthy lives for ourselves and our families and the chance to work hard and virtuously at something.
This is the way of making tents in all medal Asia. Монгол Улс/Mongol.
If you wish to learn about this culture, please find Bill Warner, right here on You Tube. He is the authority for Westerners regarding Islam. Consider it essential learning for every non-muslim.
@@moonsun3653 They are Turkic people of Azerbaijan and no wonder they are using their own Turkic heritages.
@outlawfly Azerbaijanis are Turk people. Your Pan - Iranian view is wrong. Azerbaijanis were Turk for old time.
See what Kasravi the Iranian historian wrote about them:
احمد کسروی تبریزی در مقاله «اللغة التركیة فی ایران» به معنای «زبان ترکی در ایران» که در چهار قسمت مجزا در مجله العرفان سوریه به زبان عربی منتشر کرده است، با صراحت برخلاف نظریه زبان آذری خود اظهار نظر می کند و می گوید: «آیا مردم آذربایجان، خمسه و دیگر ترك زبانان ایران از نسل ترك هستند كه از تركستان مهاجرت كرده اند یا آنها فارس بودند كه بعد از غلبه چنگیزخان ناگزیر شده اند جهت حفظ زمینهایشان زبان اصلی خود فارسی را فراموش كنند و زبان تركی را انتخاب كنند؟
سخن كوتاه، تركی زبانان ایران كه در سرتاسر ایران پخش شده اند فارس زبان نبودند كه به زور مجبور شده باشند از زبان اصلی خود صرفنظر كرده و زبان تركی را یاد بگیرند، ترك زبانان ایران فرزندان تركهایی هستند كه در زمانهای باستانی از تركستان جهت پیداكردن پناهگاه و چراگاه مهاجرت كرده اند و فاتحین ایران گشته اند و در سرتاسر آن پخش شده اند و هر جا كه اراضی وسیع بود ساكن شده اند و در طول زمان با اهالی ادغام شده و با آنها ازدواج كرده اند. عادتها و لباس و مذهب آنها را قبول كرده اند. قبایل ترك كه در استرآباد سكنی گزیدند تركمن گفته میشوند هنوز به مذهب سنی و همانند روش لباس پوشیدن و آداب رسوم خودشان وفادار هستند و هنوز با فارسها به جز در برخی موارد ادغام نشده اند. اگر چه زبان تركی را حفظ كرده اند و حالا فرزندان آنها به همان زبان یعنی تركی صحبت میكنند. گرچه تركهایی هم بوده اند كه در میان مردم بومی حل شده اند و زبان خودشان را فراموش كرده اند.»
In short, the Turkish speakers among the Iranian population who were spread through every region of Iran were not Persians who were forced to abandon their original language and forgot it and learned Turkish. No one spoke Turkish as a result of being vanquished by the Turkish conquerors over their lands, as was the opinion spread throughout Iran; the Turkish speakers are nothing but the descendants of the Turks who had migrated in ancient times from Turkestan in search of safety and pasture and became conquerors of Iran and spread throughout it and settled here and there in tracts of land and mingled with the population over the course of time and intermarried with them and followed them in their customs and clothing and religion,8 although they have preserved their Turkish language and their descendants still speak it (although there are some of these Turks who have assimilated into the indigenous population and have forgotten their languages as well.
@@jameskan9866 ver are living the Turki population like iranian turk in state called Turkish , iran is a state with many different population and culture

Iran is such a culturally rich nation. Really enjoyed seeing these tribal, nomadic people living as they must have for many generations before. The home construction was a great addition to seeing how the house is set in place during their Summer month's while herding their sheep. Would enjoy learning more about the symbols woven into the tie cords that hold this amazing home together. Thank you for the journey.
yes~polititions and journalists here talk about Iran... but
they know nothing about its wonderful peoples diversity
@@ustwoalberts and its their combined filtering of ignorance that keeps the remaining parts of humanity from truly appreciating what they may never get a very clear picture of with their armchair anthropology, making false assertions on the people that have older traditions than the modern world ever knew of. If we could but look through the kaleidoscope of their experience, on the light of their culture, then we may first know the depth of their understanding and promise.
we who live in a modern city world full of convenience must take our hats off to the people who maintain the ways of the past that humanity has used for thousands of years and for almost all of human history.. God Bless these people.
I am so happy I found this channel, this stuff is amazing to watch.
Beautiful, thank you.
I love this educational video of the great hard working people from Iran ,living a hard but peaceful life and lot's Blessings to all them from this humble 🙏 Mexican.

Awesome. Thank you for sharing this video.
Nunca habia visto un video de Iran. Muy hermoso pais y su gente bella😊💙
A yurt without the walls. Beautiful!
ماشاءاللہ
زبردست طرز تعمیر
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you for showing the yurt being put up, in those strong winds, then the manufacture of its components (except for the crown, and the weaving of straps & ropemaking). Highly sophisticated housing. Admirably adapted to its purpose.
Thank you posting this wonderful video, during a visit to the Alvarez-Mehrgan mountain in Eastern Azerbaijan (Iran) we ran into these tribes people and saw their tents from afar and tasted their fresh baked bread.
Ahmad Maghboul it is nice to hear people talking your mother tongue.
The person filming had good attention to relevant details. I learned a lot and was also entertained. Very nice. Thank you.

I definitely appreciated this glimpse into nomadic culture.
❤️ Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us! Much respect for the skills and the process!❤️
A simple tent but based on many people's hard working, nothing is easy, I love the video.
Are you single
It seem like a great way of life for them. I thank you for the video and the look into their nomadic lifestyle.
It's a bender! A brilliant one too.
We used to make them in England as young people when camping at festivals and gatherings. Hazel poles from coppiced Hazel, rope and string and wagon tarpaulins. It would be great to take it those extra stages , with a centre piece for the crown and leather straps and felted coverings.
This is my favorite . Beautiful filming. Enjoyed how the felt was made and the ribs for the structure.
Very cool craftsmanship. Especially the felt covers! Nice one Iran 🇮🇷 🤘
بسیار خلاقانه ، مستحکم، زیبا با طراحی ویژه. بسیار زیبا
It really is fascinating to see how different peoples develop their tents in such different ways.
Thank you for this awesome video, I can feel the freedom!!
wow that dome piece is so nice and the tension. felt making and frame making also very interesting
Glad you like it!
Is this the origin of the symbolism of a royal crown?
ممنون از ویدیو و اشتراک گذاری این لحظات و سبک زندگی هم میهنان 🙏❤️
What a beautiful culture! My favorite was seeing the place when everything was in and finished. It looks so royal on the inside.
V GOOD WORK
I used to live in western Colorado and in the spring the mountains look just like that not only is that culture beautiful but that land is breathtaking

What do you call tent in your language?
@@lkhbhydroponic6858 there are many names for that: Alachyg, Chadyr, Chardag, Yurd, Dakhma
@@ilkinrzayev3975 Chadyr, Chardag, Dakhma are persian words!
@@bennyvanilly I did not say otherwise. You are 100% right. Origin of the words are persian, but we adopted those words just like arabic origin words such as hasan, ahsan, melek, mekteb (school) etc.
@@bennyvanilly chadyr is not persian tho the rest might be. In our region we mostly use Alachyg or Yurd
Thnaks alot viva Iran.
Thanks a lot, as an Iranian I've never seen how they make and erect the tents.

I Love nomad architecture!♥️♥️
As a individual who lives within the great pacific ocean, I would like to say thank you to you all for a wonderful glimpse into your life's in your blessed country of Iran.
I was particularly fascinated by how you built your homes. Totally different to how we build ours here in the hot, humid Pacific.
At the end of the day, our work, our strength, our energy..our goal..what really matters most .. is to have a place we can call home, no matter where we are in the world.
Thank you for this instructive presentation. Ingenious and pragmatic, the Shahsavan nomads put every thing in their environment to elegant use for their housing and livelihood needs.
Beautiful yet simple structure thank you for the video!
Wow all those fallen western redcedar branches are in this shape. Gives me an idea for a fort 😍
que bonitas tierras y que gente tan dedicada a su trabajo gracias 🙂🤗
Thks that was fun to watch.
Beautiful....n very hardworking families
So practical and beautiful. Big respect to all the indigenous wisdom in our world
Thanks so much Gordon, and team, for presenting these videos. I only came across them today and am completely entranced. Utterly, utterly fascinating! :)

Feels so warm and cozy just looking at it
God bless these humble folk, a simpler way of life, working off the land.
Greetings from Baltimore, USA...much love and respect to these people
Iranian society has made wonderful contributions in science, poetry, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, art, music and other things I do not know about
Another great Video, thank you
Thank you. Truly humbling. I desperately hope that the method of construction has been documented along with this footage for future generations and because these skills need to be kept alive. There's a harmony and togetherness in all of these nomadic clips which has sadly slipped away and been replaced by selfishness and greed. Not good.
For every tent type I visit I try to record the physical tent, the way it is made, and the cultural and lifestyle around the tent. The more I do this, the more I realise that I can never capture more than a fraction of the complexity and richness of these traditions, but be assured that the videos are only the public face of this research, I also make drawings and record materials and tools and the stories of the people I meet. One day it will get published, I hope.

Amazing skills and ingenuity. Thank you so much for making and sharing, will buy your book when it come out
Thank you, the book is out now if you want it: www.nomads.org. I think I need to update some descriptions!
Yet another beautiful and important instalment! Thank you
So many skilled craftsmen and women in one video. Amazing!
Those of us that survive this momentary blip of 'civilisation' will realise that this is a lifestyle that is much closer to the sustainable, natural, communal and equitable way we have lived before and will do again. Many thanks for opening our eyes...
Yes! I'd far prefer this to a "tiny" 100k house on wheels to drag along interstates, lol!
Settled civilizations have been around for thousands of years, so it's hardly a blip. Nomadic lifestyle has it's pros and cons, as do permanent settlements.
I do agree we need to think harder about our environmental impact and sustainability, but there are ways to be more environmentally friendly without being nomadic.
@@AmoebaInk Agreed. I meant that modern industrial civilisation is far outside any judgement of being sustainable. Pastoral, non mechanical smallholdings are pretty sustainable... As for huge human population overshoot, well...
@@russtaylor2122 I'm less inclined to blanket reject technology, but I do think we need to be more responsible with our materials. I think vertical farming may be key in feeding the population while minimizing environmental impact. But it's more multifaceted than that.
That’s not gonna work for 8 billion people. Three quarters of us all have to die first to make that even remotely possible.
this is the turkish nomad 1000 years use culture ! the best video . who go bushcraft they must see it ....thank u
Wonderful video! Truly impressive architecture and a lifestyle that helps to exemplify why so many indigenous people resisted civilization. Fresh air, fresh healthy food, sustainable, space, community, etc.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for your passion!

@@slowky7154 Go back to fortnite zoomer, and leave appreciation of history to adults.
I wonder if these people know how lucky they are to live such a beautiful life
they do... Until sick White Mormons or Born Again Christian visit such sites, Preach about how their babies and children will all burn in hell. Unless they convert to the religion they are peddling. They poison their minds with negativity. Preach guilt, hate, and destruction. And give them used Clothing and money to abandon their way of life and be saved from what these parasitic missionary condemn as Barbaric ways of life. I know because I travel in such places and met these happy people. Then I also encounter sick foreigners and their messiahnic complex.
@@eduardochavacano That's strange, because the contemporaries of Jesus were shepherds and lived a life very similar to this.

What a great feeling, sit here in US and look at to my original place traditional Alachigh. Not only from same country but from exactly same place which is Shahsavans are living. Yashasin Azarbayjan. Thanks for this nice video.
Great, makes me happy to reach some people who know the culture.
So why u ran away to US? -_-
Better we all preserve our culture.
