The openings also provide structural relief, by allowing wind to pass through the building instead of pressing against it. </p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6524648001977847010-3346108396937965626?l=generaldirection.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tallbridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00243515174170514313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524648001977847010.post-64590005202681892472007-12-13T14:32:00.000-08:002008-12-11T23:13:41.183-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ws9uaslfCbM/R2GzOK2DQVI/AAAAAAAAABw/uhIOpVaReu8/s1600-h/1154330121ca.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ws9uaslfCbM/R2GzOK2DQVI/AAAAAAAAABw/uhIOpVaReu8/s320/1154330121ca.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143589305444417874" border="0" /></a><br />The Temples of Damanhur<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">A group of people in Italy known as the Federation of Damanhur who practice exceptional sustainable living techniques excavated part of a mountain and built one of the wonders of the world.
