The Revolutionary Guard transports a new shipment of Palmyra antiquities to Iran
ARK News… Zaman al-Wasl learned that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards militia, on Friday, transported dozens of artifacts excavated from Palmyra in the Homs countryside to the Deir Ez-Zour countryside.
A private source told Zaman al-Wasl that archaeological and excavation experts in the militia had extracted from several sites in the city of Palmyra mosaic artifacts, gold and stone carvings, and tablets with phrases in ancient languages.
He pointed out that the number of excavated artifacts amounted to about 40, which they found in the "Al-Basateen" area of the city, amid the continuation of excavations by the Guard militia and in cooperation with the regime forces.
The source explained that the "Revolutionary Guard" militia began a week ago the process of excavating antiquities with a new campaign under the supervision of Iranian antiquities experts and prominent leaders of the militia.
He stated that the militia worked to put the excavated artifacts into bags loaded with vegetables and fruits in a medium truck and transport them to the "Al-Hari" area in the "Al-Bukamal" border countryside with Iraq.
The source revealed that the "Revolutionary Guard" militia, in cooperation and coordination with the Russian forces in the region, will transfer them directly to "Iraq" through the "Al-Qaim" border crossing, and from there to "Iran".
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard militia has previously transported large quantities of artifacts in many areas of Palmyra to Iran.
