Abstract. Studying Iran’s history has proved that Iranian ancestors’ land had developed culture and
civilization so this is why other nations immigrated there and used their superior utilities and took advantage of their advanced civilization. “ Burnt City ” in sistan and Baluchestan province and “ Shahdad ” City in Kerman province are among those Iranian advanced and culturally rich cities and like other parts of Iran had tremendous wealth. Studying the way of burying dead bodies in these two cities and discovering various and precious tools confirms that they had unique cultures. This library research studies and comparesthe way of burying dead bodies in Iranian “ Burnt City ” and “ Shahdad ” City and through finding the differences similaritiesanddifferences did a comparative research on them. The comparison between these two ancient cities showed that the differences are more than the similarities. In fact in “Burnt City”dead bodies were buried in more different ways than in “Shahdad” City, they were buried in more
different directions and thefleshes wereput in graves in more different ways. The reason is that different races immigrated to “Burnt City” and settled there.
