(picture:? 20 19 Maxar Technologies) Archaeologists discovered a stone wall in Iran, the length of which is about the length of the famous Hadrian wall built by the Romans all over England.

This wall extends about 765,438+0 miles (65,438+065,438+05 kilometers) and was found in Zahab County, sabol in western Iran.

It is estimated that about one million cubic meters (35,365,438+04,667 cubic feet) of stones need a lot of resources in terms of labor, materials and time. Sajjad Alibaigi, an assistant archaeologist at RaZi University in Kermanshah, Iran, wrote in an article published in Ancient magazine. Alibaba Becky wrote that the building runs from the north to the south of Bamu Mountain in the north and extends to an area near Zammak Village in the south. Found it along the wall

Pottery shows that it was built between the 4th century BC and the 6th century AD. Alibaba Becky wrote that the ruins of destroyed buildings can be seen in some places along the city wall. "These may be related to towers (small towers) or buildings," wrote Arribet Ji, pointing out that the GaWRI of the wall itself is related to "local natural materials such as pebbles and boulders", "KDSP" and "KDSP": the 25 most mysterious archaeological discoveries on earth "KDSP" and "KDSP" live near it, although archaeologists don't know the existence of He Luxue.

An antique spokesman said that since the publication of Ali Baiji's paper, the magazine learned that another group of archaeologists had conducted early research on this wall; This study has never been published in a journal.

Mysterious wall archaeologists are not sure who built this structure and for what purpose. Because of the poor protection of the barrier, scientists can't even determine its exact width and height. He said that their best estimate is 13 feet (4 meters) wide and 10 feet (3 meters) high.

"It is not clear whether it is defensive or symbolic," wrote Arribet Ji, pointing out that it may mark the border of an ancient empire, which may be Parthians (prosperous from 247 BC to 224 AD) or Sassanians (224-65 AD1year). Ali Baiji wrote that both empires in western Iran have built large castles, cities and irrigation systems, so it is likely that both empires have the resources to build the Gehri wall.

The newly discovered Gehry Wall is not the only ancient long wall in Iran. Archaeologists have previously discovered similar structures in northern and northeastern Iran. He wrote:

Ali Baiji hopes to do more research on Gawri wall in the future. He didn't respond to requests for comment.

There are still 30 of the world's most valuable treasures missing from the photos of ten battles for control of Iraq: the mysterious stone structure of Saudi Arabia was first published in Life Science magazine.
