Archeologists have discovered ancient architecture and two burial chambers belonging to the Bronze Age in a northern Iranian province.
A team of archeologists have unearthed 70 centimeter thick walls and two burial chambers belonging to an adult and a child in the historical Gohar Tappeh site located in Mazandaran province.
“The fact that the discovered objects and architecture, which belong to the Bronze Age, continued to be in use in the next era of the Iron Age is of great importance,” Ali Mahforouzi, head of the archeological team in the site said.
“Archeologists found 4 meters of the 5,000-year-old mud-brick walls and also ruins of two bodies belonging to an adult and a child on the ground of the site surrounded by the walls,” he added.
According to Mahforouzi, the bodies, dating back to the Bronze Age, along with the discovered architectures are to be restored by professional archeologists.
