My village is no longer the village of yesterday, where I was born and grew up among its fields and hills, and people are not old people, who have become saturated with their advice and values .. Everything has changed.

As I visit my village, I feel my time together with all those beautiful features that have been lost in my imagination. Everything has changed until the harvest in my village is no longer as I knew it with that wonderful celebration and social rites in the spirit of cooperation and solidarity among the villagers.

At this time of the harvest, all the families of the village were in a state of alert for the success of the process. By the light of the sun, the men accepted their wagons on the wheat stalks, chanting songs and folk songs, using the harvests of harvesting under a burning sun waiting for the women to come with couscous mixed with milk , The main meal and integrated because of its benefits and nutritional value quench the warmth and dampen the heat of the body sweating sweat.

I no longer see in my village what indicates that it is the harvest season compared to what I was watching in a time of time .. The fields became empty after leaving those beautiful features that were keeping pace with the process of harvesting and studied the crop .. Everyone became dependent on modern machines that gave them time and effort in In return for abandoning their cooperation, rapprochement, rites and social customs.

What worries me most is those that have been steadfast for more than five centuries, despite the difficult climatic fluctuations that the region knows. It is now a reconciliation for survival, but unfortunately I approached the indenture and is ready to fall if anyone intervenes to the guardian of this world heritage. It will inevitably be removed forever .

The Kasbah is confirmed by the sons of one village or an entire tribe, or by members of one family, before starting the construction process is chosen strategic location .. The materials used in building are natural raw materials, which consists of large stones, Clay and wood. The process of the sarcophagus is used as a block of soil to be strong without the use of concrete or sand. The ark is the use of wooden panels made up of four panels and placed two boards long and others width ..., tugging the ropes on the walls of the foundation, and filled with gravel and dirt is dipped by the "teacher" by a special machine and simple. (Made of wood in the form of a cylinder, weighing up to 12 kg, and sticks with a length of 1.5 m .. This is the stick is the hand of the machine) .. Until the materials overlap between them ..., and the panels are isolated .

The same process continues According to one elderly person, after the completion of the ark operation, in the evening, a small hole is dug up and the water poured in. On the following morning, if this amount of water is still present, it proves that the wall is strong and solid and that the wall absorbs it. New ...

There are a lot of things that have changed in the village, but I will stop here so that I will not prolong you.
