Your question is correct because there are not so few human beings. But today we will make you aware of such a truth, after which your thinking about dwarfs will change completely. Dwarfs lived in a village in Iran about 150 years ago. The name of this village is 'Makhunik' which is about 75 kilometers from the Iran-Afghanistan Line of Control. It is said that at present the people of Iran living in this village are about 50 centimeters shorter than the average length.

Due to the excavation in 2005, a mummy was found from this village, whose length was only 25 centimeters. After meeting this mummy, this belief was strengthened that people of very short length lived in this village. However, some experts believe that it could also be a child born before mummy, who would have died 400 years ago. They do not believe that the people of 'Makhunik' village were dwarfs. Actually, Makhunik is a remote dry region of Iran. Here only a few fruits like barley, turnip, plum and dates were cultivated. The people of this region were completely vegetarian. The people of this region could not get the nutritious elements needed for the development of the body. And this is the reason due to which their length was less.
