Discover the rich cultural heritage of Africa through its mud huts. In the Koutammakou area of Togo, you'll find a village built by the Batammariba people. These traditional mud huts stand tall, showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship of their creators. Traveling to Benin, you can witness salt making in a quaint village near the Mono River. The locals have perfected this ancient practice, passing it down through generations. Their humble mud huts provide shelter as they work tirelessly to extract this precious resource. The Piki Maker from Hopi in 1904 captured on an orotone photograph showcases another form of dwelling made from mud. This unique art piece highlights the intricate details and beauty that can be found even in something as simple as a mud hut. In 1811, an operation was conducted to heal a sick Bushman, depicted in a colorful engraving. Even during challenging times, these resilient communities relied on their sturdy mud huts for protection and healing. Voyages au Soudan et dans L'Afrique Septentrionale features a captivating book cover depicting African landscapes dotted with traditional mud huts. It serves as a reminder of how integral these structures are to African culture and daily life. Moving forward to 1935, "In Old Isleta" captures an oil painting showcasing adobe-style homes similar to those made from mud bricks. This artwork transports us back in time while emphasizing the enduring nature of these architectural marvels. Timbuktu's town comes alive through an illustration taken from Journal d'un Voyageur pendant la Guerre de l'Algerie (1843). From atop a hill, one can admire clusters of intricately designed mud houses that make up part of this historic cityscape. On the left bank of Orange River lies A Korah Hottentot Village - another testament to Africa's diverse cultures and their use of mud huts.
