Nagarethyl, located in Tehran -Nahavand Country of Hameedan, has emerged as an extremely important archeological site that can shine more in the Seleocos era in Iran.
Iranian archeologist Mosen Kangjan explains that the discovery of the caves on the hill, which has the potential to revolutionize Naha Band’s tourist sector, is a breakthrough.
Naha Band, an area with a continuous human residence of over 7,000 years, is the home of many historic relics, and Nagarethyl is one of the most important landmarks. Located in the southeast of Naha Band, the circular mound of this height in the orchard and farmland is thought to go back to the Seleucos era.
Discovering and importance
The two excavation phases held in September 2019 and May 2022 were found first in Nagare Hill. According to Khanjan, the site is unmatched in this country, and it may include burials of famous Seleocos such as high -ranking generals and SATRAP.
Historical records, including the mention of the NASER AL-DIN SHAH, suggest that the tomb had been looted before, and no artifacts or skeleton left.
Kanjan emphasized the proximity to the hills of the hills as an important connection to understand the construction of Seleucos and the burial habits. This discovery can fill the gap between knowledge on the effects of Hellenism on Iranian culture, and attract international archeological and tourists.
Assignments and future outlook
Excavation surveys are attracting attention from cultural enthusiasts that emphasize the potential of hills that redefine the story of the Seleocos era in Iran. However, further research has been hindered by financial constraints. Naha Band’s cultural heritage, sightseeing, and handicrafts are 800 million Thoman (about $ 10 million) to provide funds to ongoing archeological activities, including the third excavation stage in Nagare Hill. I requested a budget.
According to Khanjan, the survey results from the first two excavation seasons strongly suggest a connection between NAGARECHI HILL and LAODICEA Temple, strengthening the historical importance of the site. The temple, which is considered to have been constructed by Antiox III itself, emphasizes Naha Band’s outstandingness in the Seleucos Empire.
The lack of artifacts in the surviving Seleocos era and the architectural evidence of Iran is a unique research meeting of Nagarethaill. Kanjan explained that the discovery here could reveal many things about the practice of Seleucos’ funeral, architecture, and integration with Iranian traditions. Such a survey result may turn Naha Band into archeological and tourist spots.
In addition, local officials are promoting immediate measures to secure the funds needed to continue excavation. “This discovery is unprecedented in Iran, and it may illuminate many dark horns in the history of Seleucos,” said Naha Band’s Cultural Heritage Director Mohamad Ahmadi.
A glimpse of the heritage of Nahavand’s Seleocos
According to Khanjan, NAQARECHI is a circular hill about 8 meters in the orchard in the southeast of Naha Band. “Naavand was one of the towns that dominated Iran, which was occupied by Seleocos during the control of Iran, and used craftsmen, teachers, artists, historian, and traders, to make the Iranian land in Greek.”
Kanjan believes that the discovery can be a great help for archeologists illuminating the dark horns of the Seleocos era in the Iranian Plateau.
Over the past few years, Kanjan has led some archeological seasons and discovered Laod Care Temple, probably under the Dokaharan’s sanctuary. As he mentioned, in addition to the Greek inscription, other important objects such as bronze statues of the gods of Greece, stone altar, pillars, pillars, pillars, pillars, and other important objects are in the neighborhood of Dokahara. It was discovered.
“As for these survey results, the history of Naha Band dates back to the history of the past, and concluded that it dates backwards, contrary to what they used to go back to the Seleucos era.”
In 1943, archeologists found a 30 -row 85×36 cm ancient inscription written in Greek, calling for Naha Band people to follow the government’s law. The inscription has shown the existence of Laod Care Temple built by King Seleocos, who controls Asian minor Antiox III (223-187 BC), for his wife, Queen Laod Care.
Two inscriptions and four bronze statues excavated on the site are on display at the Iranian National Museum in downtown Tehran. And the capital capital and the base are currently used as decorations for Hazian Bazar in Naha Band and some other parts of the city.
The Seleocos Empire was a nation of Hellenism, which was dominated by the Seleocos dynasty, which existed from 312 BC to 63 BC. Seleukus I Nikata established it following the split of the Macedonian Empire and expanded significantly by Alexander. Celex received Babylonia (321 BC), and then expanded his territory to include many territory near Alexander. At the peak of power, the empire contained some of the Central Anatolia, Persia, Levant, Mesopotamia, and some of the current Kuwait, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkmenistan.
