Overnight Islamic Republic have Wiped out 3000-Years of Iranian History

30 October 2007

Pol-Borideh after its destruction by the Islamic Republic Ministry of Road & Transportation"

LONDON, (CAIS) -- The destruction of one of the biggest historical sites in the Chahar-Mahal Bakhtiari province by the Islamic Republic Ministry of Road and Transportation was reported by the Persian service of ISNA on Monday, October 22.

"Overnight %60 of the architectural and archeological remains of Pol-Borideh in Chahar-Mahal Bakhtiari province is being destroyed to construct a road. The ancient site was registered on the National Heritage List", said Aliasghar Noruzi, an archeologist with provincial CHTO.

He stated: "The Ministry of Road and Transportation acted irresponsibly, and ignored all the previous warnings of the Chahar-Mahal Bakhtiari Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organisation, prior to launching the new Khuzestan Highway project."

According to Noruzi, the ancient site was a settlement next to an ancient route known as Arjan-Lordegan-Esphahan, which was in use during a number of historical periods. In addition there were a number of architectural remains dated back to 1000 BCE as well as pre-history which have already been identified in the area.

He stated: "despite all the previous meetings, communications and warnings, the authorities of the Ministry of Road and Transportation have chosen to ignore and in an unexpected move they have flattened and destroyed the historical site overnight."

He added "Lordegan was one of the most ancient cities in the region and in many historical accounts have talked about its prosperous past, but to this date we have not succeeded in identifying its original location, nonetheless, Pol-Borideh could have provided us with many invaluable answers and could have assisted archaeologists in finding the ancient city, but now we have lost that chance."

Another local archaeologist who wished to remain anonymous for his safety said: "Israel should not be worried about the [Islamic] regime's threat of wiping it out from the map, it is us [Iranians] who should be worried, as the regime is determined to wipe us out of the map."

He added "everyday this anti-Iranian regime is coming up with a new plot to destroy our heritage. One day our heritage is being threatened by dam projects, the next its road constructions. They claim these are development projects, if this is the case why is our heritage being destroyed in the darkness of night and in secret - and why don't they sit down with the cultural authorities to find a solution to carry out their so-called development projects, and at the same time safeguard our national heritage?"

I read when Arabs invaded present day Iran, they considered non-Arabs second class citizens, more specifically at Persians.

Iranians should know that they had a glorious empire rich in history. Also, they were one of the cradles of civilization.

They don’t even call it “Christian Era”...it’s “Common Era”

Sad...

AAAH! MORE -stans!

It is sad what the Islamic regime did to Iran. The Iranians aren't Arabs and weren't even Muslims until the Arabs conquered them in the 8th century or so. They also want to build a dam near the tomb of Cyrus the Great, the founder of pre-Islamic Iran. It's like they're trying to erase the history of the country that isn't Islamic. Pity.

The Arabs got their language from Persia...the modern Arabic script is based on the Farsi alphabet, which came first. The Arabic language is very similar to Farsi in the way it soundsd and the way it is written. The Arabs based their language off the land they conquered and now they’re trying to erase the history of that land. What zeroes...oh wait, they didn’t even invent that, did they? LOL

Is anyone really surprised at the hostility between the Arabs and the rest of the world?
If as Muslims claims - I’m not saying I believe it, but Arabs believe it - that Ishmael was the father of the Arabs, then the hostility is to be expected. In Genesis 16 v. 11, Hagar was told by the angel of the Lord that her son would be a “wild man” whose “hand shall be against every man. And every man’s hand against him.”

Yes, you’re right. I recall it being called “Christian Era” at one time. Atheism must have felt brazen enough to call it “Common”. God have mercy on us. Jesus will have the last Word, of course. I’ll stick with B.C. and A.D.

Someone told me that my focus on Jesus was “narrow minded.” I thanked them for giving me such a beautiful compliment because I doubt I deserve such high praise. If only I could enter the narrow door...maybe with Christ’s help I’ll make it?
