Tehran – A historic tomb inscription has been identified in Avrhassan Atabaki, the city of Abade, Fars province, researchers said.
Atabaki, a PhD in history, worked closely with tour guides Babak Palsa Jam and Arash Namiranian to decipher the language of the inscription.
He told Isna that the preliminary study showed that the inscription was hidden in a small cave.
Thus, gravestones containing the order in which to make the tombs were deliberately hidden from visitors. It’s difficult to access, he added.
Atabaki explained that the stones in the tomb are related to the mass burial of rock tombs or stones.
He added that in the Pahlavi script, documents with newly identified inscriptions related to the late Sassanid period could be placed on the National Heritage List by experts in the Fars Department of Cultural Heritage.
A complete reading of this inscription will soon be published in articles in the national scientific journal.
The writing of this inscription indicates that its date preceded the inscription of Karat Berman or Karegabali Pallavi in the area.
Tour guide Babak Palsa Jam said the inscription of Pallavi is part of the new identity of Abade city. He added that it could change the history of the region.
Abade is the gate at the entrance to Fars County from the north. Archaeological excavations showed that the history of reconciliation at the present site of Abade dates back to the first millennium BC. The region has become a settlement for caravans and trade routes between the north and south of Iran.
