A great cemetery has been discovered by an expedition working at Tepe Hissar, near Damghan, Persia. Scores of graves have been opened, revealing the remains of a people some 4,000 years old. Their racial origin is unknown, but it is possible that they form a connecting link between India and Mesopotamia. "It is an awe-inspiring sight," says Doctor Schmidt, the leader of the expedition, to look upon the remains of a hundred people, dead ages ago, exposed with their mortuary equipment to the sunlight, in one great necropolis. Thus we found them in the main mound at Tepe Hissar.
