Armenian archaeologists have discovered burial mounds 35 miles west of the Armenian capital Yerevan dating back to the third millennium B.C., Associated Press reports today. Trinkets and beads belonging to ancient Aryan nomads were unearthed, along with beads and glazed pottery.

The Aryans, who later became known as Persians, were largely grassland nomads who settled in what is today Iran and eventually in parts of India. Aryan culture lived alongside IV culture and absorbed elements of it.
