LONDON, (CAIS) -- Iranian archaeologists have found four buried foetuses dating back to 2200 years ago in the country's northwestern Province of Ardebil (ancient Artāvillā).
The skeletons, which were found in an ancient castle are intact and belong to the Parthian dynasty (248 BCE-224 CE).
The excavations also revealed three ceramic dishes, a number of beads, and 150 stone graves from the Middle Bronze Age (4,000 years ago) and the Metal Age (2,800 years ago).
