Thanks for the link, which lead to the pages linked below.
Talk about Appropriate Technology.
In reading about Zeer pots, or 'desert refrigerators,' I feel it 
wouldn't be a great stretch to describe these as one of the 'gold

On Thanksgiving, take a moment to give thanks to Mohammed Bah Abba, who 
refined this technology.

Cheers,
