They found it underground on lands that belong to them. There is always treasure to be found in those kinds of countries.

Glad to see you amended your post to say the find was on their own land.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that it was on their own land until you started talking about legality.

Wow. Truly amazing find. I want to believe this is real so that's what I'll do. Needless to say, they need to be extremely careful not to tell another living soul about this unless completely necessary.

Any antiquities found in Iran are considered property of the state, regardless if it's on private land or not. The penalty is stoning or beheading for any violation.

That aside, that video has all the classic earmarks of a scam video so their heads are safe for now...

Yeah, I know another guy who's active in Iran. Unfortunately it's playing with fire to be treasure hunting over there. Obviously they need to practice total secrecy and have a great deal of patience when searching for a buyer. Tell them they need to be willing to wait YEARS before the right buyer emerges. No matter how poor and suffering they are or what. Do not rush this.

(Assuming its legit)

Apparently Iran, like the Russians, are very keen to develop technologies capable of locating buried treasures. I found this article. I wish I could get my hands on some of those top secret government gadgets!

A group of Iranian archeologists have expressed concern over a bill in parliament that calls for measures to turn Iran into a regional hub for trading antiquities, fearing it will turn the country into a marketplace for illegal trade.

Yes I agree with you. It seems almost to good to be true. I was also thinking it might be a fake video. There is so much fake stuff going on, you never know what is real and what is not, and that is why I posted here to get other opinions.

One thing that disappoints me right away is how easy it is for that guy to pick up and turn that statue at :07. With one hand and not even gripping it that well. It looks golden. So are we looking at gold-plated WOOD or what? It seems to be far too light to be made of pure gold.

Yes now that I look at the video again. That gold statue he picks up with one hand seems to be way too light.

The impression I got from my treasure hunter contact in Iran is that a lot of people over there are having a really hard time. Much like in the Philippines, many people are turning to treasure hunting to find a way out of poverty. According to him, he knew someone in his village who did actually find a golden hoard and became extremely rich over night. He says people are successfully making recoveries over there. One thing is for sure, the guy is on FIRE to find treasure. Totally nuts about it. So something real must be motivating him and others...

Yes there are a lot of people over there into treasure hunting as way to get out of poverty, and yes some do find real treasure but there are also a lot of fakes too.

Those statues aren't even time period/place correct, just a mismatch of random tourist crap painted gold and filmed in the traditional full blur effect so you can't see too much detail, throw in a picture of the "Supreme Leader" to add credibility and mix that with the old local indigenous peasant shtick of "ah shucks, we just found millions, if not billions in priceless antiquities, whatever should we do with them, we are at a loss, please help!"
