UPDATE: Pasargadae Will Never Drown Read here and here
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
[cross-posted on Parsi Khabar]
The Islamic Republic of Iran has embarked on the finalizing stages of a dam construction in south of Iran that will ultimatelydrown the archeological sites of Pasargad and Persepolice, the ancient capital of the Archimedean Empire – a rich and complex site that, since its inception, has been considered by all writers of antiquity as one of the wonders of the ancient world and, thus, a part of the cultural heritage of the human race.
Please sign the Petition Online to create awareness and make the Iranian Government change their mind.
Persepolis
Pasargade: Tomb of Cyrus
Oh no!!!
I just hope i can visit before it is all lost……
the morons..
Oh this is sad news indeed. Persepolis, though much ravaged with time, remains a beautiful historical site even today. Loved the place when I visited it a couple of years back with my Iranian friends!

Same here. I want to go there too before it is all destroyed forever. Hopefully by early next year.
Aparna,
I envy you !! Would love to see some pics, if you have posted any online, or you could even email them.
Hi arZan, I am not much of a picture person. But over the last 4years have travelled many times to Iran on work. It is a lovely place!
Maybe next time, will remember to capture some memories on camera to share 🙂
