there are mills powered by animals as well

>how do you power a mill with water?
it needs to be running water
you put something fixed that spins from the water current and then transfer that spin to the mill

I always thought those mills where there's a large rock, with perturbing sticks drove by animals and humans, was only from fantasy. Like, Conan the Barbarian.

Why use animal or human power when there's water and wind.

There was supposed to be lotsa mills in Khorasan (previously known as Parthia) where I live. But Mongols destroyed all of them.

By the 19th century, all the milling was done by small slabs of stone, drove by hand.

My grandmother's adobe manor had a room called "The Tenur Room", the Tenur being form of an oven. There was one of these slabs there.

because it's cheaper and easier to build maintain and opeate
if you have animals that don't have jobs you make them turn the mill
it's free labor

im pretty sure that is literally what the mill is
the rock that turns grain into flour by grinding it is the mill
