A very interesting article. However, I wished they would have some how stopped all excavations in Iran till the fall of this regime.

Non of the found objects will remain in the country. They will export them true illegal routes and profit from them. Though in most cases Iran's treasures survive in better conditions in world museums than in Iran. At least more people will visit and see them.

My main concern is that in the meantime there are chances of them damaging our pre-Islamic history.

Excellent point.
