The first research season in the
historical area of the fortress of the Naser Abad-e
Kojour Hill in the northern city of Noshahr led to the
identification and analysis of unknown features from the
Parthians' culture and civilization.
Head of the excavation team Reza Mousavi Mirkola
underlining the importance of the project said that the
boring pits in the site led to the discovery of a
cemetery and a residential quarter, which, based on the
existing cultural data, seem to belong to the Parthian
civilization.
Kojour enjoyed richness and development at the time of
the Parthian dynasty, who resided in various areas from
the Mesopotamia and Iran plateau. Although this Iranian
dynasty were in power over five centuries, but the
information about this glorious Iranian empire is not
enough.
