Life in Matmâta, by Didier Sibourg

This photograph was taken in Matmata, portraying the living of ancient times. Till today one can experience the life of the inhabitant of Matmata, a house troglodyte in Tunisia. The place has myth as well as history, in any case, the underground settlements remained hidden in very hostile area for centuries, and no one had any knowledge of their existence until 1967.
