TEHRAN (AFP) - Archaeologists digging in the ruins of an ancient palace in southern Iran have unearthed three kilos (6.6 pounds) of 2,500-year-old gold, the head of the Iranian excavation team told AFP.

"We have found three folded plates of very pure gold for the first time in the area," said Eshan Yaghmai, who has for years been digging at the Achaemenid palace of Bardak Siah in Bushehr province.

"Once unfolded, there is a chance that we see inscriptions on the plates that give invaluable information about the kings who built the palace," Yaghmai said, believing the 24-carat gold could not have been used for common purposes.


He said the the plates would be sent to Tehran for further examination.


The Bardak Siah ruins were unearthed in 1977 in an area believed to be hiding more than 30 other ancient palaces.
