Ruins of prosperous Islamic city discovered in Kerman By: Sheikh Muhammad KHurasani TEHRAN, Iran: The director of the archaeological team working on the Halil-Rud riverbank announced that archaeologists recently discovered the ruins of a once prosperous Islamic city near the town of Anbarabad in southern Kerman Province of Iran. The size of the city and the artworks discovered here show the city was economically and industrially developed, added Davud Abyan. He said the experts found out many ornaments made of gold and decorative stones as well as various beautiful dishes, which were produced between the 9th and 12th centuries C.E., indicating that the inhabitants of the city had been very wealthy. Several pottery works bearing Chinese inscriptions dating back to the Tang era, (618907 C.E.) and the Sung era (9601279 C.E.) have also been found in the city. The archaeologists had earlier unearthed the city of Decius in a region near the newly discovered city. END |
