They put them in things which the builder prepared for this purpose. The wall would stand firmly on this. That is it. They did not have multistorey houses like we see abroad. There were three storeys at the most. There were (no houses with) more than three storeys. There was no reinforcement, they did have a thing to keep them (from falling). It could not (stand) more than three storeys high, since it could fall. The builders of Kurdistan did not build higher than three storeys. That is it.
