DOHUK, Kurdistan Region - A cemetery containing at least 1,000 graves was recently discovered in Dohuk province, stumping scientists who say it is unlike any similar site they are aware of.
In an effort to uncover the history of the graveyard, Professor Alessandro Kanji will take samples to Italy for testing. Four of the unique graves will be displayed in the Dohuk Museum.
An expert told Rudaw that some of the graves appear to date to the earliest era of Islam.
