notes:
The word «troglodyte» has long been synonymous with «barbarian», «savage», «ignorant». And become an offensive nickname, which we award someone very greedily, and also omnivorous. However, these troglodytes are not worthy of neglect: the majority of us are so different that prefer to arrange their accommodation is not in their homes, and in caves.
As a phenomenon trogloditizm - the construction of caves for habitation - was distributed throughout the world. It is not uncommon in our time. In France, the Loire Valley, you can find small towns and villages, whose inhabitants are also believed troglodytes. Dwellings in the coastal cliffs make steel here in the XI century. Local stonemasons extracted and sold the stones for the construction of buildings, and then placed with their families in the caves are formed. The stone is amenable to work with him was easy. Troglodytes caves were pretty high, so they are not flooded with water spill rivers. By the same winter and summer, regardless of weather, in a constant temperature - 16 degrees. Master stonemasons cut in the mountains kilometer gallery, which served as his refuge in times of war. Current French troglodytes be decorated their room, laying in modern communication, from the outside to throw out terraski, before entering the small break cozy gardens. Extracted from the stone fireplaces are made on the sale and garden sculpture, and they are cheap - a few thousand euro. Manual labor is highly valued in our time.
