SAEDNEWS: In the following section, you will read more about the largest treasure discovered in Iran, as well as the treasure-rich regions of Iran.
According to the Saed News History Service,, the earliest evidence of treasure hunting in Iran dates back to the Safavid era. Early treasure seekers used basic tools such as shovels and pickaxes. At that time, people searched for royal treasures and objects buried in ancient tombs. One of the well-known areas for treasure hunting in Iran was around Persepolis and the Achaemenid royal tombs. However, there were very limited tools available, and most searches were based on rumors and legends.
One of the largest treasure discoveries in Iran is the finding of a hoard of gold and silver coins in the ancient city of Hegmataneh. This treasure dates back to the Achaemenid period and included a large number of ancient coins of significant historical and financial value. The discovery was made in the 1960s by a team of archaeologists.
Based on archaeological studies and discoveries, western Iran—especially the provinces of Lorestan Province and Kurdistan Province—holds high historical value due to the presence of ancient civilizations and numerous historical conflicts.
Additionally, central Iran, including cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz, is also highly significant because of its rich cultural heritage and abundance of ancient monuments, making it a major attraction for lovers of history, culture, and art.
