As we know, refrigerators used to be called iceboxes, which stored ice in the summer. Ice was brought down from the mountain's, cut from frozen lakes and distributed in the cities.
No electricity is needed to run these iceboxes.

Ancient Ice-Making Machines Found In Persian Desert, The Yakhchāl

Just shows, ancient people were not dummies!
Also heard, the pyramids were used to store food, grain and keep it cool in the hot desert.

Long ago, the Persians mastered staying cool during the hottest parts of the year.
These passive cooling techniques are still functional today!
