Mahtutabad Ancient Site

The Mahtutabad ancient site lies in Kerman Province, near the counties of Jiroft and Anbarabad, about three kilometres from the city of Anbarabad. It is considered one of the most important archaeological areas in southeastern Iran, shaped within a vast and little-known civilization that dates back to very ancient times. Its location on the fertile plains of the region shows the important role this area played in the formation of one of the oldest human settlements on the Iranian Plateau.

According to archaeological evidence and studies, this area was part of the great and mysterious Jiroft civilization, which, together with major sites such as Konar Sandal, is recognized as one of the cradles of early human civilizations. Historical finds in the area point to advanced cultural and social structures in the distant millennia, which further increases the site's importance for the study of ancient civilizations. Its proximity to other historical sites shows the extent of a coherent network of civilization in this region.

The Mahtutabad ancient site can be reached via the roads of Anbarabad County, and visits are usually made as part of historical or research trips. The best time to visit is the mild seasons of the year, such as autumn and spring, when the weather is more suitable for being outdoors. Given the high historical value of the site, it is essential to follow the principles of protecting antiquities, not to move any cultural objects, and to avoid causing any damage to the historical setting of the area.
