episode Ice in the Desert: How Ancient People Did It cover

Description

Back in the ancient days, cooling off in the desert wasn't as simple as cranking up the AC. People got creative and pulled off a cool trick with ice. They'd dig these deep pits, like desert ice chests, and stash the ice in layers of straw and sawdust to keep it from melting too fast. It was like nature's own refrigerator! These ancient cool cats knew how to use what they had, and they'd harvest the ice during the colder months to keep their chill vibes going in the scorching heat. So, forget about popsicles – ancient desert dwellers were the OG ice masters! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
