The real name of this village is Makhunik, 143 km away from Birjand, the capital of South Khorasan province and adjacent to the border of Afghanistan. People also call it the mysterious village, so do you know why this village is mysterious and what is the reason behind the presence of dwarf people here?
According to BBC report
The mummy of a 400-year-old child revealed that malnutrition is the main reason why people do not grow tall in this village. When researchers researched this mummy, it was found that the reason for the short length here is malnutrition because there was a time when people did not have enough means of livelihood. It was difficult to raise animals, so from where would people get enough food. There were only a few date palms and other trees here.
Apart from this, the texture of this village is also special. The doors here are so small that one cannot go inside without bowing down. For many centuries no work has been done here in the direction of architecture and tourism, due to which this village has not been renovated and many people do not know about it.

About a century ago, i.e. 1 thousand 500 years old village Makhunik (Makhunik), some residents of the village were only 1 meter tall, which was about 50 cm less than the average height of that time. In 2005, a 25-centimeter-tall mummy was found in the area, suggesting that this remote corner of Iran, comprising 13 villages including Makhunik, was once an ancient 'dwarf city'.
