A cemetery dating to 5,000 B.C. and containing about 100,000 skeletons has been discovered in southeastern Iran, on the outskirts of Shahr-e Soukhteh near Zahedan in the region where Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan meet.
The agency did not say whether artifacts were found in the cemetery, which would predate by about 2,000 years the pyramid-building pharaohs of Egypt's Old Kingdom.
Scientists researching human bones dating before 8000 BC have named the location of their discovery as Britain's oldest cemetery in Aveline's Hole in Somerset's Mendip Hills.
