Another gruesome find Warriors Mutilated in Tool Talesh Battles

Discovery of armless and legless skeletons in the cemetery of Tool Talesh, in Gilan province, alongside battle instruments, has provided further proof of the hypothesis of a big battle taking place in the area.

Evidence indicates that the corpses were buried after their arms and legs were cut off some 3000 years ago.

Talesh historical site is one of the most important historical sites of Iran. Talesh cemetery is 350 hectares (same as Tehran’s current cemetery) and the different kinds of graves there, from the first millennium before the Christ to Parthian times, indicate the continual life in this region throughout ages.
