History
Archaeologists excavating in the southern historical town of Moud in South Khorasan province have unearthed ancient earthenware dating back to the Parthian dynastic era (248 BCE – 224 CE). Excavations were conducted on an ancient mound located near the city of Birjand. Numerous historical artifacts, dating back from the pre-historic eras up to the Safavid dynasty were found at the site.
The last prince of Birjand was Shah Seyyed Ali Kazemi who came from Moud (where most people were related with him), a relative of the emperor Shah Reza Pahlavi and the Prime minister Asadollah Alam.
Prior to the separation of the province from the former Khorasan province, Mud was a borough of the current provincial capital, Birjand.
