This work views the house as a phenomenon of culture. This is the first attempt to examine the houseas a material and spiritual object in one context. Using rituals in which the house takes main place we study the tradition of the house building. The main questions we discuss are about assimilation of the house and its turning from nature into the culture.
Rituals of houses building and its assimilation and turning from natural into cultural are very important. All this shows us how ancient people looked at the picture of the world.
We explain ideas about meaning of some objects and show that the house, which is associated with man's body, is full of unclear inhabitants. They influence peoples conduct and create a world witch is against people.
