Archaeologists in the Bradost region of Soran have uncovered a significant archaeological site containing graves of mounted warriors dating back to the Iron Age. The discovery has drawn attention from local and international media, as well as archaeological researchers.
According to Dr. Dilshad Zamwa, Associate Professor in the Department of Archaeology, the Soran Directorate of Antiquities recently announced the discovery of a mass burial site believed to belong to Iron Age cavalry warriors. The site includes graves in which warriors were buried alongside their horses, a burial practice associated with elite or military status during that period.
Archaeological records indicate that similar mass graves of mounted warriors have been discovered in the Bradost region over the past five decades. Experts estimate the newly uncovered graves date back more than 2,500 years.
Officials praised the efforts of the Soran Directorate of Antiquities, led by Dr. Abdul Wahab Sulaiman, as well as the residents of Bradost, for their continued cooperation in protecting archaeological sites and preventing the looting of historical artifacts.
