Muslim coutries are pretty bad in general on the matter of historical preservation.
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.
they dont consider preserving anything before muhamed.
BARBARIANS!!!!
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.

Dude, sorry about your tomb. That's what you get for being nice to the Jews.
Islam = Enemy of all humanity
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.
