During ancient times, animal skin was used to make blinds. Long ago, people who lived in hotter climates used animal hide to shield themselves from the sun's rays. They also used those materials as drapes to keep the interiors of their homes cool. The animal skins were soaked in water and hung on the doorways. As a result, the wind's effect created a cooling sensation, similar to natural coolers.
