Alexandria, in Egypt. The first windmill was built by Heron of Alexandria in the 1st century (AD). His 'windwheel' operated an organ (the musical instrument). This was the first time wind had been used to power a machine in history! The first practical windmills (similar to windmills found today) were built by the Persians sometime during the 9th century. Persian geographer Estakhri noted the invention of windmills. There is one document (supposedly written between 634 and 644 AD) that suggest that windmills were invented in Persia in the 7th century. However, this document was probably created in the 10th century and, therefore, is unreliable.
The Greek inventor, Hero of Alexandria, invented a wind machine that powered an organ in the First Century CE. Windmills for grinding grain and pumping water were in use in Eastern Persia (now Iraq) in the Ninth Century. Watermills were in use in Ancient Greece in the Third Century BCE.
During the Middle Ages, windmills were used primarily for grinding grain and pumping water.
Like windmills.

It was invented by windmills
Netherlands invented Dikes & Windmills
To be used to grind grain.
The first windmills were invented for grinding grain to produce flour and for pumping water. A vertical axis system was developed in Persia between approximately 500-900 AD.
NL Architects of the Netherlands invented Dutch Tree Windmills.
The Persians invented Bricks, Ice cream, the First Taxation System, Chess, Algebra, Windmills and Backgammon.
to provide power and pump water also it colud provied elecricity.
The earliest windmills were invented in the ninth century AD in the Middle East and were used to grind grain or to lift water.
The first windmill was built by Heron of Alexandria in the 1st century (AD). Windmills, were used in the Islamic civilization as early as the 7th century, to grind grains and for irrigation purposes. The great tenth century Arab Historian and Geographer Al-Masudi(896-956), has mentioned the existence of windmills in Seistan in 950 AD. Windmills appeared in Europe, in the 12th century. Windmills were invented in Persia long ago during A.D. 600. They were first invented for grinding grain but then discovered to be useful for more, centuries later. Many people get credit for the invention of the windmill because they used it and made it for different reasons. That's why some windmills are horizontal and vertical.

older windmills make more energy than newer windmills
windmills are there to help save energy and renew electricity.
