“Two caves were discovered in the southern foothills of Bazidar Mountains, one of them dates back to some 9000 years ago that is Neolithic epoch, and the other belongs to the Middle Elamite period"


Back from when those places were last civilized. I wonder what they will find in there?

Archeologists believe that Khosrow Parviz, the Sassanid Emperor, constructed this shell-keep to protect his beloved, Shirin.

Was Shirin the name of his sheep??!

Great, time to destroy them. After all, they don't represent Islam.

[Zarro]

I think they may find that very little has changed at all....

“Two caves were discovered in the southern foothills of Bazidar Mountains, one of them dates back to some 9000 years ago that is Neolithic epoch, and the other belongs to the Middle Elamite period and contemporary to the Iron Age in Zagross and Central Plateau of Iran.

Oddly enough, in one of the caves, anthropologists found discarded blank VHS tape cartridges, pieces of coaxial cable, and take-out falafel wrappers, plus a page from Osama bin Laden's diary in which he confesses that he has a crush on Al Gore.

Archeological excavations in the city of Qasr-e Shirin resulted in the discovery of two caves belonging to the Neolithic epoch and the Middle Elamite period

Which represents what? maybe, 4-5 years ago for the backwards camel jockies?

Khosrow Parviz is their rendition of the name of the last great king of the Sassanian dynasty, Chosroes II Parvez (590-627), best known perhaps for his war with the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Heraclius (Chosroes captured the True Cross but Heraclius later regained it).

According to Richard Frye, qasr is an Arabic term for the fortified inner residence of a ruler.
