Tepe Hagmataneh is believed to be the ruins of the ancient Median city of Ecbatana which was  one of the many capitals  of the Achaemenids (550-330 BC) and the summer capital of Parthian kings (247 BC–224 CE). It had a royal treasury which was plundered in turn by Alexander (356-323 BC), Seleucus (358- 281 BC), and Antiochus III (241-187 BC).

 

Ruins from various historical periods have been unearthed during previous excavations at the site which indicate that the ancient inhabitants practiced progressive urban planning.

 

 Excavations at the site have yielded evidence of an advanced water supply system. The site has also yielded priceless inscribed tablets, earthenware and silverware dating back to the Achaemenid  and Sassanid (224 - 651 CE) eras. The site has never been thoroughly excavated since it is mostly covered by the modern city of Hamadan.

تاریخ هست که در این مکان دفن شده. خیلی جای کنکاش داره.

وقتی این مکان رو دیدم با خودم گفتم مگه میشه یک شهر کلا خالی بشه و به این حالت متروک دربیاد.؟ اما اینکه دوباره از زیر خاک دربیاد دوست داشتنیه.
