These longhouses could be 50 meters or 160 feet long, housing entire extended families, their livestock, and stores of grain under a single, massive roof. Precisely built using enormous structural timbers – and walls of split logs and wattle and daub – these structures demonstrated advanced carpentry and engineering skills.

Bastard russians bombed the archeological sites these houses were found 🤬 I visited the longhouses in Borneo with over 50 families in it. The structure is interesting, but the way of live it creates within those houses is just flabbergasting. You need to agree on things among each other, but people have their specialties too. Products hang around the long house for people to use and ingenious small inventions allow for a shower for example.
