An ancient cave with human skeletons has been unearthed in archaeological excavations in Lavasan region near the Iranian capital, Tehran.

He added six roofed caravanserais as well as traces of ancient roads were also discovered, bearing witness to the fact that those areas were frequented by people.
Sepehri said the cave lies 3,100 metres from the sea level.
