One researcher described the discovery as 'a small revolution.'
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient lost city beneath modern-day Iraqi Kurdistan. Newly discovered stone foundations, tablets and other artifacts revealed a city that thrived on the edge of the Zagros Mountains some 4,000 years ago.
Excavations at Kunara suggested a thriving city of mountain poeple once stood at the western Mesopotamian border. Researchers found evidence of major livestock farming, irrigation for agriculture and tablets recording the trade of items such as flour. As well as the bones of farm animals such as sheep and pigs, scientists found the remains of bears and lions, suggesting royal hunts or high-status gifts, the CNRS reported. Researchers argued the city’s position, between the Iranian kingdom and Mesopotamia, was lucrative.
