Summary[edit]

Description

Sheep coming home for the night. They can not stay in the mountains, because there are wolfs. They know their own house and go there without shepherd.

Meymand is a village of troglodytes - cave dwellers.

Meymand is believed to be a primary human residence in the Iranian Plateau, dating back to 12,000 years ago. Many of the residents live in the 350 hand-dug houses amid the rocks, some of which have been inhabited for as long as 3,000 years.
