Iran - new petroglyphs discovered

2/3.

Archaeologists in Iran have recently discovered one of the largest panels of petroglyphs in the country.

Located near the highland city of Malayer in the Hamadan Province of Iran, south -west of Tehran, the panel measures roughly 12 metres wide by 2.5 metres high. The engraved depictions, over 100 in number, include animals [such as ibex] and human figures [hunting figures], as well as geometric motifs.

The age of the petroglyphs is unknown, yet currently thought to have been created over a number of different prehistoric phases. bradshawfoundation.com
