Iran: Loomning Cultural Genocide of pre-Islamic Past by the Satanic Republic

Remember a couple of month ago when the NaziIslamic Republic of Iran opened up their hypocritical mouths against the Hollywood blockbuster movie, 300. The satanic mullahs complained to the UN that the movie is, "plundering Iran's historic past and insulting this civilization." The civilization in dispute was the Pre-Islamic Iran before the savage occupation of Iran by the Arab/Islamic army.

The hypocrisy is that the mullahs in charge of the country have done more to damage Persian culture and historic past than this movie will ever do. Yellow dog , a blogger from Iran, gives us a bit of background:

Destruction of Iranian heritage has been a continuous occupation of the Islamic regime since its beginning. Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali at the beginnings of the 1979 revolution traveled with bulldozers to flatten Persepolis where ruins of the 2500 year old administrative capital of the Achamenian dynasty sits. Locals stopped his bulldozers by laying down on their path, until the governor of the province was able to convince Khalkhali to leave without damaging the treasures. Now Ahmadinejad is planning to go ahead with the systematic destruction of one of civilized world's first administrative sites by by flooding a dam under the pretense of creating electricity for industry. This is where the first postal system was conceived and where the first human rights charter was written.

Following the footsteps of Taliban, The un-Iranian government of Islamic Republic is set to destroy a major part of humankind's cultural heritage***The flooding of Sivan Dam is pronounced evidence to the nullification of the human rights of the Iranian people; People of the world, People of Iran!

According to the official news-agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the government of Mr. Ahmadinejad has decided to begin the flooding of the Sivand Dam in the next few days, despite the fact that many experts and thousands of people from all over the world have protested against such an atrocious act.

This Dam will flood the ancient archeological sites of Bolaghi Gorge and Pasargad Plains where the mausoleum of Cyrus the Great --the author of the first Declaration of Human Rights in the history of mankind --is situated.


Cyrus, The Great Winged Figure:"The Iranians regarded him as "The Father", Babylonian as "The Liberator", Hellenes as 'Law-Giver' and the Jews as 'The Anointed of the Lord'."

By this action, the mullashs are telling us that whatever archeologists, historians, experts and university professors have said about the dangers of this dam, and the discoveries of last two years have proved them to be right, has no value for his government and they are poised to destruct the Iranian pre-Islamic history and culture. This means that a vast number of important archeological sites, containing mankind's most precious cultural heritages, are being flooded.

So really who is the one trying to attack ancient Persian culture, identity, and heritage? Is it the movie which represented a comic fiction or the day to day actions of an oppressive government, which has tried to obliterate all non-Islamic vestiges of Iran's glorious past?

Iran: Salman-e Farsi Dam Inaugurated Without ICHTO Approval

Tehran, 15 March 2007 (CHN Foreign Desk) -- The first phase of inundation of Salman-e Farsi Dam which is built among a number of historic sites in Iran’s Fars province finally took place today without obtaining permission from Iran’s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization. It is said that there are more than 20 unexcavated historic sites dated to the Sassanid dynastic period (224-651 AD) along the reservoir of the dam which will be submerged once the reservoir is filled completely.

The Iranian cultural heritage experts had been trying for the past two years to excavate the historic sites near the Dam, but were unsuccessful since Iran’s Water Organization showed little interest, if any, to cooperate with archeologists.

The lake behind Salman-e Farsi Dam includes 15 sites from the Elamite Empire (3400 BC-550 BC) to the Islamic era (651 AD onward) plus a monument from the beginning of the Islamic period. In addition, archeologists have found evidence of a great fire temple in the reservoir area of the Salman-e Farsi Dam.

Located in Darab Plain, one of the main residential settlements of the Sassanid dynastic era, construction of Salman-e Farsi Dam began in 1994 along with a number of other dams in the region such as the Mollasadra Dam whose inundation is seen as a real threat to a number of invaluable historic evidence including a prehistoric hill, 13 graves of the Parthian dynastic era (248 BC–AD 224), and 5 other historic and Islamic sites.
