🏔️ Why do some people live in caves?

Some people live in caves because caves are like nature's cozy homes! 🌍🏠 Long ago, people used caves to stay safe from wild animals and bad weather. Even today, some people live in caves because they are cool in summer and warm in winter. It's like having a house made by Earth itself! 🌞❄️

People live in caves for many reasons! 🏔️ Long ago, caves protected early humans from predators and harsh weather. Today, some still live in caves because:

• They are naturally cool in hot places and warm in cold places.
• They are cheap to live in (no need to build walls!).
• Some cultures have lived in caves for thousands of years and keep the tradition.

In places like Turkey and China, people even decorate cave homes like modern houses! 🏠✨

Living in caves isn’t just ancient history—it’s a practical choice even today! Here’s why:

Historical Reasons

Early humans (like Neanderthals) used caves for shelter. They provided safety from predators and extreme weather. Later, monks and hermits lived in caves for peace and meditation.

Modern Cave Dwellings

In places like Cappadocia, Turkey, caves are carved into soft rock. Benefits include:

• Energy efficiency: Caves stay ~15°C (59°F) year-round!
• Low cost: No construction materials needed.
• Cultural heritage: Some communities have lived this way for centuries.

In China, the Yaodong cave homes have modern amenities like electricity and Wi-Fi! 📶
