Actually, the roof had no opening in the top as a chimney. Like iron age round houses in Europe and Mayan houses in the Yucatan, the roof was completely covered to keep heavy rains out, and the smoke leaked out through the thatch or through a small opening at each end of the peaked roof. One or more deer hides were tied up in a way over the fire area to smoke the hide and to act as a spark arrestor. Ears of dried corn could also be bundled and tied up from the rafters along with smoked meat and other dried foods to keep it safe from animals. The smoke waterproofed the deer skins (closest to the fire, while it also made for a lower oxygen content near the rafters that killed bugs in or around the food. Since the house wasn't sealed tight (unlike today's houses) there was always plenty of fresh air for the people living here, while the walls blocked the wind from blowing smoke into the face and lungs of the person cooking.
Crazy that this is how europeans built their houses too. Everybody around the world was weaving big baskets and packing it with mudpies to build their walls.
The large wooden pole that he called a pedestal , is actually a pestle. Together,a mortar and pestle is what you would use to grind or crush up spices or smash up avacados to make guacamole. A pedestal, on the other hand, is a base that you would use to mount a statue or that a tall column would stand on.
Aaaahm he seemed to have a slightly uncomfortable pause there when he said ‘up until the time of them aaaah leaving”. What he was meant to say was ‘ up until the time the invaders came and tried to exterminate them”
Europeans always claiming people left or disappeared with no trace. Lol. I’m sure the people lived right there or there ancestors did until they where murdered or relocated for there lands.
@@JesusDiaz-pu6yt hey thanks for the racist comment about my ethnicity. That aside, I think you are forgetting the history of Japan. I suggest you read into their history of racial supremacy and expansionism before making racist blanket statements like you just did.
@@sowianskizonierz2693 I just reported you. You just can't wear a mask and call yourself Slavic Warrior. Your words not mine. I know you mean well. Just don't get to touchy when having a conversation with a superior mind. I am very familiar with most world cultures and their conquering ways. I hope you find your peace.
my great great grandfather had built a similar house but bigger and a bit better in 1860 and it is still standing in 2024 in fact in indian villages you can see modern versions of these houses that are nearly 200 year old
@@onesob13 the huge Mississippi mount city culture collapsed but the people and common villages and houses still there until the white people came. When the big mount cities collapsed the people didn't all die...they juts moved to another place and stop building big cities. Its like saying the Japanese people now dint exist anymore after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki lol

Spot on!
Ok... that was darkly funny he said what they lived in until "their leaving" like a whole period of history broken into 2 words. Haha
"Until their militarily-enforced erradication… I mean… until their leaving"
yeh as if they "leave" was a peaceful events.
