An ancient city in Iran is on the verge of submersion after officials started filling the Salman Farsi dam near the city of Jahrom in the southern province of Fars. The 2,200-year-old city has witnessed the post-Achaemenid to early Islamic eras and includes the remains of a Sassanid fire temple and a post-Achaemenid manorial house.

The site spans an area of 350 hectares and was first excavated by an archeological team directed by Hossein Jafari-Zand in 2007

Yasuj has had a long history, being occupied at least since the early Bronze Age. Of note are the Martyrs Hills (dating from third millinium B.C ), Khosravi Hill from the Achaemenian period, the ancient site of Gerd, the Pataveh bridge, and the Pay-e Chol cemetery. The Yasuj Museum which opened in 2002, displays coins, statues, pottery, and bronze vessels recovered from surrounding archaeological sites.

Re: Salman Farsi dam threatens ancient city by DrewParsons on Tuesday, 29 April 2014

I have just been to Yasjul which is the site of the Battle of the Persian Gates (between Alexander the Great and Darius III). The site of the Salman Farsi Dam is 300 kilometres south of Yasjul. I have changed the coordinates for this page to the location of the dam. I see there is a small town called Yasj by the side of the new dam and assume that is where the museum is located and not in Yasjul City to the far north.

Salman Farsi dam threatens ancient city by Andy B on Saturday, 03 July 2010

An ancient city is on the verge of submersion after officials started filling the Salman Farsi dam near the city of Jahrom in the southern province of Fars.

The 2,200-year-old city has witnessed the post-Achaemenid to early Islamic eras and includes the remains of a Sassanid fire temple and a post-Achaemenid manorial house.

The site spans an area of 350 hectares and was first excavated by an archeological team directed by Hossein Jafari-Zand in 2007, CHN reported.

Excavations yielded Sassanid jewelry and burial sites along with the first Hellenistic pattern found in the country after 70 years. the pattern is engraved on a flat piece of ivory and shows the Greek influence on Persian art.

Belgian archaeologist Louis Vandenberg first discovered an object bearing a similar Hellenistic pattern in the Iranian city of Izeh in Khuzestan Province.

Jafari-Zand's team also found the ruins of a Sassanid fire temple at the site, which has the unique quality of having porticos.
