Meybod Dosangi (Two-Stone) Mill:Special Phenomenon among Karizi Mills

In lands where bread is the main food of their people, mills play a determinative role in organizing their lives, and for this reason, in the course of time, they are constantly updated and adapted to the requirements of the environment. Karizi mills in Yazd, especially in Meybod, have evolved by the same mechanism. A clear example is Meybod Dousangi Mill which was created by using advanced karez technology in the desert environment. This mill, which is typically very specific, is located 40 meters underground and along the Qutbabad aqueduct. Dosangi mill which had been submerged by wind, soil, and floods in the desert for fifty years after the inefficient karez dried up, in 1999, by the help of elderly information, was recognized and registered as a national work.
