Iran has some cool sites. Its a shame it is occupied and controlled by people who are single minded.

That’s either a cheese grater or a Dr. Scholl’s shoe insert.

I’m pretty sure it’s hardtack from a Civil War encampment. Nothing else would have survived so well in an unprotected environment.

Elamite language, language spoken by the Elamites in the ancient country of Elam which was famous for its deposits of the mineral Elamite.

Three more holes, and the owner would have gotten a free pizza from the Burnt City Pizzeria.

Founded around 3200 BC, Burnt City was populated during four main periods up to 1800 BC...

Bah! "Burnt City" sounds like a cyberpunk graphic novel or the setting for some video game about arson.

“...the remains of a prehistoric monkey...”
What the duck?
LMFAO - prehistoric monkey - that is speculation and supposition on display.

You don’t think that a monkey skeleton could be identified?

Sure, but now they’d go broke for missing millions of 30 minutes or free guaranteed deliveries.

I think the latest arson video game is set in Cape Town, it's from the same people who brought you this.
