Meymand is a 12,000 year-old cave village with a population of 105 people in 44 households in Kirman, Iran.
The village site has been continuously inhabited for around 3,000 years, making it one of Iran’s oldest villages. Nevertheless, there is evidence of much earlier residence at the site such as almost 10,000 year-old engravings and the nearly 6,000 years old deposits of pottery.
