Savojbolagh, Tehran, Oct 30, IRNA -- The leader of an excavation team working on an ancient site in Ozbaki in Savojbolagh, Yousef Majidzadeh, said here on Wednesday that a historical city in the Medes era has recently been unearthed.

Speaking to IRNA on the precious discovery, Majidzadeh said: "No monument of similar significance has ever been discovered from any archaic site in the Medes era, including the Goudin Tappeh, Noushijan and Hegmatan."

He further said that relics unearthed from the ancient city, measuring over one sq. km. in area, reveal new information on the lifestyle and architecture of the Iranians who lived during the reign of the Medes.

Without describing the details of the remaining monuments in the ancient city, Majidzadeh said: "On the fifth excavation season of the archaic Ozbaki site in Savojbolagh, archaelogists will begin restoring and reconstructing the remaining Medes castles."

Small groups of nomads speaking Indo-European languages, including the Medes, were among the first tribes who migrated into Iran from Central Asia near the end of the second millennium BC.

Some of those nomads settled in eastern Iran, while others who were to leave behind significant historical records on the period pushed further west towards the Zagros Mountain range.
