A historic discovery has been made in the Iranian city of Abdanan, where archaeologists have founded the lost region which Darius the Great called it in a inscription as “ABIRĀDŪŠ” (522–486 BC), an area with three mines dug into mountain where the stones of his palace in Susa came from. [1772×797]

This discovery marks a new face for Iranian/Middle Eastern archaeology and a major case for World Heritage.
