Iran is conducting archeological excavations at the historical Yazdgerd Castle site for the first time after the Islamic Revolution.

The Yazdgerd Castle was first excavated by Edward Keal of Toronto Royal Ontario Museum, who found a collection of artistic symbols, dating back to the Parthian era.

Keal also discovered an ancient city with gorgeously decorated palaces, bastions, and temples.

Yazdgerd Castle, located in Western Kermanshah Province, overlooks the ancient Silk Road.

The two-month excavation project led by the famous Iranian archeologist, Dr. Masoud Azarnoush, will start on Nov. 21st, 2007.
