The head of the Research and Design Department of the Alburs Province Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department said that there were traces that the history of writing commercial texts around the Uzbek Hill of Nazarabad Province dates back 5,000 years:
“According to the investigation, the road to the hill was on the Silk Road.”
Mahammadrza Haddadian, while explaining a clay inscription found at the beginning of the Ilami period in the historical circle of the Uzbek Hill of Nazarabad Province, also said:
“This clay inscription dates back to the end of the fourth millennium BC. According to Oxford University’s research, analysis and interpretation of its content, this is related to the purchase and sale of domestic animals such as clay, goats and sheep.
Haddadian said that the issue that doubles the importance of this issue is the traces of economic trade of grain and domestic animals on the road to the Silk Road:
“The Silk Road, as a trade route, is a strategic and economic route from eastern Asia and China to the shores of the Black and Mediterranean Seas, 7,000 kilometers long.”
