The specific device that mostly works by fanning in air that is cooled by using evaporation? Seems very similiar to what the ancient people there had.

    They didn't have an AC compressor, refrigerant, etc. Their system stops working when your humidity is too high.

    It works on the same physical principle, but they're still very different in their usage, side effects and limitations.
