News Category: Parthian Dynasty

This news reported on the website (in Persian) of Iranian Cultural Heritage foundation which reports the recent discovery of a ship near the shores of Bandar-e Rig, on the Persian Gulf, near Gonaveh.

The fishermen have surfaced an anchor with several other artifacts, including pottery pieces, and the local CHN Representative says that he believes it is from Parthian period, based on preliminary studies.

They have not discovered the actual ship yet, since they have very few marine archaeologists.
