Overview
Regarding the origin of these structures, two theories have been suggested:[6]
Living conditions in Meymhand are harsh due to the aridity of the land and to high temperatures in summers and very cold winters. The local language contains many words from the ancient Sassanid and Pahlavi languages.[7]
In 2005, Meymand was awarded the UNESCO-Green Melina Mercouri International Prize for the Safeguarding and Management of Cultural Landscapes (about $20,000).[8]
On 4 July 2015, the village was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.[9]
