Modern burial mounds, possible other uses.

How will oil depletion affect the way we live? What will the economic impact be? How will agriculture change? Will we thrive or merely survive?

Modern burial mounds, possible other uses.

Post by adam2 »

There is a growing interest in newly built but traditional style burial mounds, See here for a newspaper report. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyl ... ry-britain

This got me thinking about other possible uses, including living space. No normal person wants to live in the dark, but perhaps a small stone built and earth sheltered structure could be used as an addition to an earth sheltered home.
Useful for storage whilst times are normal, and as a shelter in war or other emergency.
Wine, beer, and some foods would store well at a low and even temperature. Valuables could be concealed.
Totaly fire proof. Storm proof. Gives protection against radiation and EMP.
