The reason very basic words like Father are shared between Iranian and Spanish is because they both ultimately descend from an ancient Indo-European language likely spoken in present day Kazakhstan around 5000 years ago. Steppe pastoralists that spoke this language colonized Europe in the Bronze age. Their language evolved into the various Celtic, Latin, Slavic and Germanic languages of Europe. Greek also comes from this ancient language. Compare Latin, Greek, Avestan and Sanskrit and you will get chills at how similar they are.

Persian, English and Spanish are all Indo-European languages, albeit from their own respective sub families. English is Germanic, Spanish is Latin and Farsi is Iranic. The Scythians and Sarmatians of Eastern Europe spoke an Iranic language that probably influenced modern day Slavic languages. Arabic is an Afroasiatic language that has more in common with Hebrew or Assyrian than it does with the Iranian languages.

just because you don't wan't to, doesn't mean it doesn't HAVE TO be listed in Germany. Remember, we are talking about GERMANY, where you need a licence + permission + Bureaucracy for EVERYTHING.

You don't want to list your bunker publicly. As when you go to use it, you'll find the neighbors already in it

Ok but how much is the shipping???

"For the past two years, archaeologists have been working at Saqqara, an archaeological site in Giza, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Cairo. Recently, they discovered a trove of coffins and mummies, which may belong to some of King Tut's closest generals and advisors during his reign (1333 B.C. until his death in 1323 B.C.).

Buried within these shafts, archaeologists found a "huge limestone sarcophagus" along with "300 beautiful coffins from the New Kingdom period."

3m thick walls for a geothermal HVAC loop??

If you bring down an optic fiber cable maybe fast enough to not need to go out until you run out of provisions

one is a bunker, to hide in during a nuklear exchange - the other is a home to use most of life.

It was about 2/3rds of what i was trying to convey, but older words like father or table also are very similar even in the native original language

I live in Australia, and I was a cleaner for few years. One of our clients homes was over 100 years old and they had a bunker in their backyard that was accessed by lifting one of the large patio tiles. You then had a three key system to actually enter it. It was tiny, more a bomb shelter if anything, but it was one of the first instances of a bunker that I've ever seen here.

Also, the bunker was mostly flooded, and the owners hadn't decided to clean it out/restore it. It was mostly just a fun conversational point.

How fast Internet down there?

You’re also going to need a crate or two full of puppets.

Insulation should be great, so cheap on heating. Sounds like a bargain

You can call yourself whatever you like; if you need the bunker, you‘ll probably be the only person you know still alive!

One might even say, there's Megatons.....

Pretty sure there are tons like those on both private and public land, from ww2 to the cold war all long forgotten, or kept secret on purpose.

On the other hand, the ruins of a castle can reasonably work as a bunker as long as you manage to dig out their basements without them caving in on you.

Germany has afaik some 20k castles still in existance with countless more ruins.

damn, chess has been around for that long too??

If I remember correctly handshakes were an ancient Persian custom, so yes, probably shaking hands. Maybe even playing chess.

> Up until as late as 1989 you could get a tax credit if you included one in your homes build. Some even got straight up subsidized.

With climate change, building underground may still have a financial benefit even without a tax credit or subsidies. It'll cost more to build, but operational costs would be lower if build properly.

You don't have to go that deep to get fairly consistent year round temperatures. Where I'm at, a horizontal geothermal HVAC loop gets installed around 6-8 feet deep and stays at about 50-55°F degrees year round.

Then again, with walls 3 meters (10 feet) thick, it's already got a fairly heafty thermal mass to moderate temperatures even if it was entirely above ground.

Ha, that's awesome. I'd love a secret bunker.

it’s amazing to me how long modern human life has been around for. people four thousand years ago were really trading goods together, maybe shaking hands, sharing food, having a laugh and joking about taxes the way we do today. absolutely fascinating. makes you wonder where we’ll be in another four thousand
