Incredible Indians!!!

❤Dear Friends❤

🌹Happy Morning🌹

💙The main occupation of our ancient Indians is agriculture.

 They were growing abundant food grains.

Storage of the grains is very important💙

💕How were they storing?💕

💜They were storing in a mud  structure called Mud Rhombus.

🧡The shape is either cylindrical or spherical or circular.

💚It is built from a mixture of dried straw and mud or clay.

💛It is  resting on large stones covered with a thatched roof .

💙They were storing the grains for 2 to 5 years

🧡They were loading the grains from the top.

💚The top was covered with a thatched roof.

💛Minimum of four men were required to manually load the grains. 

❤The first person stays on the ground, loosens the bundles 

💜He  passes it to the second person who is on top of the bin or on a ladder. 

💙The third person is inside the structure or on another ladder collects the grains 

🧡The fourth person arranges it in the rhombus.

💚To offload the grains from the rhombus, they break the rhombus

or create an opening.

💛After the complete evacuation of the grains, they seal the opening.

❤This is an economical method of storing grains and the grains will not spoil.

💙They were using locally available material to build the container.

💜The container is eco friendly, energy efficient and the grains had a long shelf life

💕Our ancient Indians were absolutely scientific!!!💕
