Plundering of archeological sites by the smugglers has become a common issue in archeology. However, according to Ataee, archeologists believe that illegal diggers cannot be held responsible for destroying of this palace by bulldozers, and it was a deliberate act by an unknown person or group of people who intended to devastate this place for a reason that is not clear for archeologists.

That's sad.

Remember the giant Buddhas? So much ancient history is lost thanks to some very intolerant people.

While I'm probably wrong...
If the investigators knocked on my door, I'd say "have you noticed how
how 'not built by Muslims' sometimes shortens the life of major
buildings and statues?".
