Archeologists have discovered ancient metal tools in Siberia, which they believe are very similar to Persian and Indian metalwork.

Siberia yields Persian-style metalwork

Excavations in an archeological site by the River Angara yielded Persian- and Indian-style carved metal daggers, ISNA reported.

The relics, which date back to about 1,000 years ago, are unique in the area and can have great importance in studying the commercial relations of Siberia with other societies.

Persians have been skillful creators of metalworks since the prehistoric era, reviving metal with splendid artistic patterns.

Many Persian texts, including Ferdowsi's Shahnameh have testified to the existence of creative metalwork in the country.

Living in a land rich in metal mines, Persians were the first nation to use metal for creating a wide range of metallic instruments and alloys.
