Meenan / Masinan.
29th May. We left Pa Killah at two in the afternoon, and having clambered and toiled over a continued series of difficult and rocky Kothuls or defiles, at the end of eight miles we came to the town of Meenan, consisting of three or four hundred caverns excavated out of the face of the mountain, along which they extend for a quarter of a mile. Some of these subterraneous dwellings were dug one above another, with a shelving path or steps, to ascend to the upper ones; but in general they were all on one floor, with a large apartment in the centre, and recesses on each side. I went into several of them, under pretence of purchasing barley and forage for my cattle, and found they were kept in the filthiest state imaginable. The population seemed to have been formerly larger, as there were many caves unoccupied.
Del libro Voyages Dans Le Beloutchistan Et Le Sindhy si trovano alcune edizioni anche su Amazon, sono delle riproduzioni del 1923 del testo originale di Pottinger del 1816, con delle imperfezioni dovute alla scannerizzazione di pagine molto vecchie e un po’ rovinate.
