The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

It's everyone's rights.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So you need to be there first.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So just because you helped to build it and you had sweat and tears and all of that building that house, it doesn't matter.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

It's not yours.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So we can also see where the good hunting grounds were, depending on how many times did families stay there.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

We see sort of traces, linguistic traces connected to the house.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So you have that entryway that I told you about that could be really long.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

That is called, and the dolluk means throat.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So the dolluk is the entrance tunnel itself.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

And the dolluk is throat on any animal.

The Ancients

When you are inside the house,

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

The winter house has an illupsolva, and it means the house's nostrils.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

That is the ventilation hole, so you get fresh air inside, especially when you're cooking inside.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So the house also needs to breathe.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

And then you have the isikivik.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

Isikivik means a view.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

And that, of course, is very close to Isit, which are eyes.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

And where do you see the view?

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

You see that through your window.

The Ancients
Prehistoric Greenland

So the house also had eyes.
