A discovery in Egypt of the remains of an army led by the Persian King Cambyses II can lead to further Cairo-Tehran cultural cooperation, officials say.
According to Aleddin Hassan-Youssef, head of the Egyptian interest section in Tehran, the discovery of Iran's historic relics in Egypt can lead to cultural heritage cooperation, CHTN reported.
The remains of an army led by the Persian King Cambyses II has reportedly been discovered by the Castiglioni brothers in a small oasis not far from Siwa, Egypt.
Some 50,000 warriors are said to have drowned in a great sandstorm 2,500 years ago.
"The matter must be studied by related (subject) experts to uncover the real story," Hassan-Youssef was quoted by Hamid Baqayi, Head of Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization (ICHO), as saying.
"We should make efforts to protect the two countries' historic relics given that both Iran and Egypt have had ancient civilizations," he added.
