1,000-Year-Old Persian Windmills: The World’s Oldest Still in Use
In Nashtifan, Iran, vertical-axis windmills made of clay, straw, and wood have milled grain for nearly 1,000 years. Dating back to between 700 and 900 CE, these structures represent the earliest recorded windmill technology. Still functional today, they highlight the engineering genius of ancient Persia.
