Tehran -local residents have found an amazing “underground city” under the five historical houses in the ancient city of Abaruku, an ancient city located in Central Iran.
This discovery shows the original city planning and architectural technology adopted by the ancestors of the town.
Governor Abaruku, Hosein Hatami, announced this discovery in an interview on Wednesday, and it is highly likely that the underground city was designed in consideration of access, safety, transportation of water, and ease of daily life. I pointed out.
Hatami explained that the combination of Abaruku’s historic aerial photographs and archeological research has revealed that the town residents had built a house and important buildings on rocky basics. The space between these rocks turned into a garden, and the underpass was dug to connect important places.
A small stone room found under a historic house suggests its past functional importance. “These rooms have a special purpose, and further investigations revealed the underground village,” said Hatami.
In addition, a beautifully crafted stone water bridge has been excavated, and it is thought to play an important role in managing the water supply in the town. Stone -made products match the materials used in buildings in the regional gorgeous era. Some historical stairs were able to access these underground tunnels directly, so residents could control and use water from cant (traditional groundwater systems).
Hatami explained how the water flowing in these corridors cooled the underground space and created a quiet evacuation site during the scorching summer. Over time, a large room between the floor was added, and it was probably as a resting place for residents in the town and as a summer villa.
Despite these issues, the archeologists continue to investigate this remarkable discovery, which provides valuable insights on the acquaintance and resilience of Abaruku’s ancient residents.
Abaruku is known for its historical importance and a stunning architecture, including Itsugi, a iconic 4,000 -year -old, but has further strengthened its status as a treasure trove of Iranian heritage.
