Ancient Wind Energy Technology! Windmills at Nashtifan, Iran

As you know, i am Dutch, and because Windmills are such an integral part of Dutch culture, I was wondering, when was the first windmill invented and used? And where did this occur?
Windmills were first invented and used in ancient Persia, in what is modern day Iran.
