These ancient relics are believed to date back to the Iron Age
Iranian authorities have unveiled a remarkable discovery in the city of Sari, the capital of Mazandaran province, where four clay artifacts estimated to be 4,000 years old have been seized. These ancient relics are thought to date back to the Iron Age.
Experts from Iran’s Cultural Heritage Department are carefully examining the items to determine their precise age and cultural significance. This is reported by Tehran Times, a partner of TV BRICS.
Mazandaran province, where the discovery took place, boasts over 800 registered historical and cultural sites, including mineral springs, waterfalls, and caves nestled within its lush forests and mountainous regions.
This recent archaeological find highlights the province’s deep historical roots and adds a new dimension to its rich heritage, as reported by the source. The discovery of these ancient artifacts not only provides a glimpse into Iran’s ancient past but also underscores the efforts to preserve traditions and cultural values.
