7,000-year-old human skeleton recovered in south Tehran

A human skeleton has been found in Tehran suggesting that life in the city dates back to more than 5,000 years Before Christ.

Archaeologists found the 7,000-year-old skeleton in their excavations in Molavi Street in the south of Tehran. According to the initial estimates, the human bones belong to 5,000 year B.C., IRIB News reported.

Previously, the oldest archaeological findings ever retrieved in Tehran belonged to city’s Qeytarieh hills, which dated back to the first millennium B.C.

Many other historic items, most of them belonging to the previous centuries, have also been excavated in the site, which is located around Tehran’s Grand Bazaar.

According to the reports, the new skeleton is expected to be put on display in Iran’s national museum after the forensic tests are completed.

well , if they have found some other items around the skeleton that suggest sign of living in the area then that means Tehran date back to 7000 years ago other wise its more logical to conclude that he was a lone hunter who died for some reason in the area
