Hin Khot emptied in the 1970s when its residents left the village and moved to the flat terrain that was north of the old village.
Hin Khot is of great interest to archaeologists because of burial II-I centuries. BC. At one of the local cemeteries are the ruins of the Red Church, which was built in the 12th century.
