The world's strange city of Matmata!

in #mgst6 years ago

The tourist stops watching a strange scene in front of him .... It seems like he is an eye on a stranger planet. Land covered with tall and tall tiles. It is similar to those maps of Moon, Mars and other planets that have been developed by scientists so far. Jabja has gone through the streets as well. Wherever the trees look like standing heads, it is a landless land, but in reality it is not so. There is a whole city inside the pit. People live in the city like ordinary cities of the world ... this time there are houses, dams, dams, dams in the city, hotels, and everything is found in a city.
It is the famous city center of Tunisia in North Africa, which is the tourist destination Matmata. The temperament is situated 335 km from the south of Tunisia towards the south. It is a small settlement of the adjacent tribe of Africa.
Here is a board installed on the highway, which is written on:
"It is a risk area, the responsibility for driving here will be on the driver."
Actually there is no danger of confrontation or not theft, but also the danger, so that the vehicle should not go to a pit or house, so the vehicle starts to get there. The driver's eyes are on the ground. Sometimes the car climbs on a hill, sometimes falls down from the lake. There was a brief checkpoint and an accident.
The village has been dumped into a land which is completely visible to human beings. These houses are enclosed by the cave beneath the ground inside the ground.
It is very difficult to find a stranger, location or hotel etc. for a stranger, but people here recognize themselves by seeing the various palaces and places of the city pit. When a news reporter visited the mate, he was particularly tempted to find the hotel, but even more worried step was when he asked the hotel, which is my room ...? Pointing to a three meter high train, he said: "He."

Satyamasha surprised and looked at this train: "I will reach how it ...." "" Look, she is busy, she has to take the work of the ladder. "
It was a new but tough problem for the newsletter.
The people of the Mantra do not call their caves, caves say. Sustainability is a mixture of Damus, which means the hunter's hunt.
Who made this cave and how did this city exist? ...? And what the point of view is ....? The cities of the city themselves do not answer it, but in the books of history it is written that the name of a nation belonging to many tribes. People from these tribes did not have any city of the West (called Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Libya as west). The name of the high of these tribes was Mustafa and the title of Maqab. These tribes had great significance in the first century century, therefore a mountain is found in the mountains between the Tehran and the Mediterranean. These tribes lived in the same area during this period. Today, it has come to South Tunisia.
When it comes to drought, it does not get the date, but one thing is clear, this city is centuries old. According to some historians, in the Roman covenant, the people here adopted this method of preventing the earthquake to avoid the attacks of Egypt, Romans and other evil tribes. The first initiative when these people settled in this area, the earth was mostly rocky. Nearly Mountains was the mountain .... These tribes not only settled in the land dump city, but also reached the ground covered soil. Distributed the mountain area into different ranges, built high walls around them and then filled the fields with dust. Thus, the process of centuries developed land for agriculture on the mountain. In which they plant fig, olives and palm trees. Today, because of the hard work and patience of the Kohistan Bagh-e-Sulayman, they have not become the largest agricultural wealth ....

Since agricultural production depends on the rain, sometimes it passes for two years in a year, which does not fall to a drop of rain. The water stored in the pool ends, so that time it passes dry.
The family has a great significance in the collective life of the comforts. The multi-purpose family receives a high position in society In the tomato, every family's house consistently consists of a large and wide cave. In this same cave, children are born, grown up, marrying and living. Whenever a separate room is needed for a new couple, the walls make a dining room. Rooms make room for specific people. A simple room costs almost twenty-five tons of pounds. The typical family that offers special rooms for itself is 600 tons of pounds only and it is ready throughout the year. Interestingly, people in the comforts live in the caves below the earth, but when they die, they are buried above the ground.

Houses in these caves are clean and decorated with homemade rugs. Men work in nearby towns and farms in factories. Women in their absence attend their work. Most of the houses in which the clothes and pots are made in the houses, bring women out of the water out of the city. The pit is of the shape of big soldiers. Crusher also contains large quantities of olive oil, but they do not run crusher bulls, but also consists of two rocks and simple machinery of wood, like two grams. The shopkeepers and merchants lend away from the fares to business merchants and camels. Put the camels in the middle of their shop and put all the goods inside.
The world did not know the world until 1967, but also the inhabitants of Tunisia themselves. In 1967, due to 22 days of rain due to continuous rain, the dungeons appealed to the government when the government representatives from the nearby city of Cairo Gabes came and saw that city. The city got fame when it was filmed in the Hollywood famous film Star Wars of 1976, the city, like the planet, was filmed as a tropical planet Tatooine city. Since then, the comforts became tourist attractions.
