Well-Known Iranian Archaeologist Passes Away
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian archaeologist and historian Massoud Golzari died on Sunday at Shariati Hospital in Tehran.
Golzari was born in 1934 in Tehran. He became a member of the Department of Archeology and Art History of the University of Tehran in 1970 and at the same time began his Ph.D. with a focus on the pre-Islamic history of Iran.
