1,500-year-old city unearthed in Iran

After a 45-day long excavation, Iranian archeologists have unearthed an ancient town in northeastern Iran dating back to the Parthian Dynasty (200 BC - 250 CE).

Iranian archeologists discovered a historical town belonging to the Parthian Dynasty in the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi.

Archeologists have been excavating the historical site for 45 days. The town is measured 1,300 meters in lengths, 150 meters in eastern width and 450 meters in western width.

A number of decorative bricks and colorful earthenware, adorned with animal and plant designs, have been discovered in the site. The findings reveal that the town was an administrative place with important castles and palaces.

The architectural structure is mainly made of bricks and cob. Archeologists believe such structures have been designed prior to its construction.
