Much of the ancient surviving architecture in Bulkh is comprised of the {{wp|Islamic architectural style}} brought by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Much of these are religious buildings like mosques and masjid and other are government buildings primarily in the large urban settlements that would become the cities along the coasts. In the early modern period architectural influences came primarily from the [[Occidental world]], especially the styles in [[Burgundie]]. These [[Levantia|Levantine]] styles persisted and even after the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]] and a resurgence of [[Occidental]] architectural motifs became the norm, especially in the late 20th century, after [[Operation Kipling]]. However, in the 1990s until now there has been a revival of more classical building methods, local building materials, architectural motifs reminiscent of Islamic styles of the past. While most urban cores reflect the more [[Occidental]] styles of the late 20th century and early 21st century, other less densely populated areas are much more visually reminiscent of the previous architectural styles. In the most remote areas, in the northern part of the country, the nomadic lifestyle of {{wp|Bedouins}} has led to an almost complete absence of permanent architecture and as those populations were settled in the 20th century with the influences of {{wp|modernist architectural styles}} and thinking some of the buildings came to reflect the tent like structures used by the nomadic Bedouins. | |||

It's estimated that the first settlements in the modern area of bulk were settled around 10,000 BCE. These settlements were primarily in the interior where the [[Great Kavir]] desert is today. Some 5,000 years ago, the area was not so arid and the vegetation might have been closer to a {{wp|savanna}}. However, desertification set in around 3000 BCE, and the desert became much like it is today. This desertification pushed the people further south into what is now the known as the Bulkawan Peninsula by 4500 BCE. The interior had become mostly uninhabited by 500 BCE, and the coasts had become the primary areas of both settlement and cultivation of crops. There was still bands of nomads in the desert interior but not nearly to the same extent that there had been two or 3,000 years prior. These coastal settlements became more and more settled as the cultivation of grains and the raising of goats and sheep in the grasslands became more sustainable for the larger populations. | |||
