[Khashayar]

The mullahs took the reliefs and stones out of our BELOVED Persepolis to sell to foreign collectioners and museums.

I was there in March 2004 and when I compared it with older pictures, I saw lots of damages to the ancient site.

It really sadened me how the regime in Iran is busy destroying our heritage.

It's kind of like Europe during the Dark Ages --- books and great art were destroyed, a lot of the history was lost but not everything --- some books were saved and some of the cultural artifacts were preserved through all those years.
