Popular Post Crossy Posted December 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2023 These amazing windmills are among the oldest in the world. Located in the Iranian town of Nashtifan, initially named Nish Toofan, or "storm's sting," the windmills have withstood winds of up to 74 miles an hour. With the design thought to have been created in eastern Persia between 500-900 A.D., they have been in use for several centuries. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing thing is that they're still operating and in use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
