Tehran – Recent archaeological discoveries made during urban development projects in Yaspark, north of Tehran, have been confirmed to date back to the Kajal and early Pallavi periods.
On Tuesday, Seyed Ahmad Arabi, head of the Teyran City Council’s Tourism and Cultural Heritage Committee, emphasized the importance of these findings.
“Construction projects in some of the capital mistakenly discover treasures buried beneath the surface of the city’s rich historic identity. Yaspark’s latest discovery is a major example of its roots dating back to the Kajal and the first Pallavi dynasties,” he said.
Arabi noted that such archaeology highlights the deep historical layers of Tehran and presents valuable opportunities to enhance the urban cultural heritage and urban tourism.
He also called on relevant authorities to prioritize the registration and documents of these important artifacts. “These findings must be integrated into Tehran’s cultural narratives, which are stories that not only enrich the historical charm of the city, but also contribute to the economic vitality of the tourism sector,” Arabi said.
Yaspark is located in Tehran’s 3rd district near Coladouz Street and Cabe Boulevard.
