What Is a Yurt?

If you’re familiar with tents, then we could say that they are quite similar to each other. Yurt is derived from Turkic language, which pertains to a circular tent that is traditionally covered with skins. Its structure is meant to have ribs to support its round shape, as well as resist heavy winds.

This ancient “home” has been a distinctive feature of life in Central Asia for at least three thousand years. According to historical accounts, Indo-European nomads are the first to use the yurts in Central Asia and parts of Russia and Ukraine. The first-ever description of a yurt used as a home was recorded by Herodotus. The ancient Greek historian describes it as the dwelling place of the Scythians, a horse riding-nomadic nation who lived in the northern Black Sea, as well as the Central Asian region from around 600 BC to AD 300.

At present, yurts are now made out of different materials like concrete, canvas, wood. You can even choose the type of fabric covering you want because it can be canvas, tarp, felting wool, or any other sturdy material. Did you know that back in the day, the animal hide was the popular covering? It provided natural insulation especially in extreme weather, keeping the people living inside warm and safe.

There may be a lot of modifications to this ancient yurt now. But one thing stays the same, it still has a cone-like roof.
