Archaeological findings


Archaeologists published in the journal Antiquity in August 2019 about the discovery of a defensive wall named “Gawri wall” or “Gawri Chen Wall” which was found near the present-day Iranian-Iraqi border and stretched about 115 kilometers. It is estimated that, the wall was built during the rule of the Parthians or Sasanians.[3][4]

According to Sajjad Alibeigi, “With an estimated volume of approximately one million cubic meters of stone, it would have required significant resources in terms of workforce, materials and time, remnants of structures, now destroyed, are visible in places along the wall. These may have been associated turrets [small towers] or buildings”.[5][6]
