Rememere the effort to move Abu Simbel from the Valley of the Kings when Egypt built the Aswan dam? It could be done if they have a mind to do it.

Remember what the Taliban did to the Budist statues in Afghanistan?

Where is the UN???? If this were a 'western' country doing such a thing it would be presented as a threat to humanity, ethics, decency, and liberal civilization.

Go to the poster's FR page and read about Cyrus the Great.
I can see why they would not only be ambivalent about the archeaological site, but would also actively participate in wiping out any memory of that dynasty. It represents everything the current rulers of Iran are against and everything they fear.

Dude, sorry about your tomb. That's what you get for being nice to the Jews.
To: buwaya
This what happens when Persians stop being Persian, and become faithful followers of Mad Mo. If it conflicts with Mo's teachings or version of history; destroy it, or burry it, or both.
Like the Budda's in Afganistan, it's a pitty.

Erasing the pre-Islamic past. Just like a totalitarian system to do that.
Islam = Enemy of all humanity

Abu Simbel's move was a UN effort (from when the UN had some value) and was not initiated or paid for by the Egyptian gov't.
Plenty of other archeological sites could not be moved.

Two of the great, ancient civilizations destroyed by Islam were Egypt and Persia. Muslims could care less about Cyrus the Great. Iranians in general, yes; but Muslim fanatics, who currently rule the roost, no.
Cyrus the Great was genuinely a great king, founder of Persia, admired by the Greeks, remembered in the Renaissance as a model king, savior of the Jews in the Babylonian exile.
None of that matters to Muslims, nor do ancient cities and monuments of the past.

You mean they like to tear down what ever was there, build new mosques, then claim everything as 'sacred sites'?
Then cry like babies when anybody mentions what used to be?
Yea muzzies don't have a great track record.

Thank you for clarifying. I love archaeology and the loss of these historic areas, no matter where, is tragic.
