Yeah I was wondering how these people actually could stand living in the desert.

Like termite mounds.
Edit:
Apparently people are idiots.

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.

Basically a swamp cooler.
Funny how things called “swamp coolers” don’t work in the swamp where it’s so humid the moisture can’t evaporate and therefore there’s no way to cool the fuck off God I’m ready for winter to start.
Tornado Alley = the midwestern US = where all the food comes from
However, tornadoes, in spite of the potential damage they can cause, are often surprisingly small, and enough early warning is provided that there's enough time to seek shelter. That doesn't mean that your farm or home won't have damage, but it beats living in NYC or Commiefornia.

Before ancient Iranians, ants and termites used the technique vor architectural ventilation. Kudos to ants, termites and iranians! It's great and always works!
