The houses which are carved into rocks date back to the pre-Islamic era.
The discovery of stone houses 10 km away from Eshtehard in Alborz Province – to the west of the capital Tehran – indicates humans lived in the area as far back as 2,000 years ago.
The houses which are carved into rocks belong to the pre-Islamic era. Rain and other climatic factors have resulted in the erosion of most of these houses, but some remain almost intact.
