Ancient Iranians ... so Aryans ?
There are even things like this that can keep food frozen in the desert with no electricity used. I don't know if it can keep stuff frozen year around or just really cold, but ancients had some awesome engineering abilities.

So it releases cooler air into the atmosphere. Instead of keeping it in the building.
Makes perfect sense.

It blows cool air through the entire building.

It’s not like a modern day refrigeration system. It uses evaporation for cooling

So it's an early air conditioner.
