Just the other day saudi arabia decided to bulldoze the supposed home of mad-mo for new high rises. I see it as destroying history to preserve the great lie called islam.
Cyrus the Great was a Zoroastrian - the first monotheistic religion.
Mohammad's ancestors were chasing camels around the Arabian desert when Cyrus was building palaces, temples and monuments.
You're right, and they were chasing camels when Cyrus was building the foundations of modern civilization...
I love your homepage.
Its awesome!!!
I wish I could do more for my country!
Gosh, I can remember when that stairway was uncovered!
Imam swine! Persians, do not allow this desecration of your
heritage !!!
Can you see this one?
I can't believe these priceless artifacts will just be swept away...!
The Taliban is taking hold in Iran now; expect OBL to appear as a government official there in the near future...
Don't forget Nimrod, Noah's great grandson.

Things went downhill when his son took over: Poindexter I.
All the other kings made fun of his pocket protector.
A genuine shame. I had hoped to see Persepolis once before I die.
No.
I'll cehck it out on my home computer.
That shot of Tehran with the snow-covered mountains in the background was unbelievably beautiful.
It must be a gorgeous country.
How will this act make the people of Iran feel?
Willit cause anger or just people shrugging their shoulders?
You gotta be kidding me! (not you, them) This is far worse than the Buddhas in Afghanistan. Cyrus positively touched the cultures of most of the current world: everybody in that region, plus Christians and Jews worldwide. Of course they'd want to destroy the memory of the father of human rights.
This is despicable.
Why do the important landmarks have to belong on the lands occupied by idiots?
And had Cyrus conquered them, he would have allowed them to practice their religion in peace. Actually, he probably did since he went into Arabia a bit.
I'm calling my uncle to find out.
Anybody intending to do something militarily in the former Persia should read Xenophon's Persian Expedition. Alexander did.
"they might discover that that dam dam may be harder to build and take much longer than planned; hundreds of years, even."
"The construction of a very controversial dam project is near completion "
That's where the Ka'aba should end up, too...
