A grave discovery Grave accidentally discovered in Iran's Siraf

A grave accidentally discovered in the ancient city of Siraf has puzzled archaeologists. Due to its strange burial, none of the archaeologists seeing it have been able to determine its exact date, CHN reported.

Based on the evidence, unlike other remains of the area, the grave belongs neither to the Parthian nor to the Sassanid nor the Islamic era.

Visiting historical city of Siraf was one of the programs of Siraf international conference which was attended by almost 200 Iranian and foreign experts and archaeologists. It was during the visit that the unusual burial was discovered accidentally.
