What Did Ancient Egyptians Do When It Was Too Hot to Sleep

When nighttime temperatures in ancient Thebes barely dropped and mudbrick walls kept radiating the day's heat well past midnight, Egyptians had to solve sleep as a location problem rather than a temperature one. This video explores the surprisingly advanced toolkit they built to survive it, rooftop sleeping, ancient wind-catchers engineered centuries before modern ventilation, woven-net beds, self-cooling clay jars, and the five feared nights a year when even the air itself felt dangerous.
