Iran: The Arabo-Islamo Conquest of Iran Comes Full Circle!

BBC News reports that the moronic Talibanesques elite, ruling the Islamic Republic of Iran have opened the Salman-e-Parsi(the biggest traitor in the history of Iran who sold out Iran to the Arabo/Islamo army) dam to once and for all, annihilate and obliterate pre-islamic past and heritage of the Iranian people. The Arab/Islamo conquest comes full circle after 1400 years of resistance and occuapation. Here are some excerpts:



A new dam is due to open in southern Iran amid criticism it will flood an ancient site holding archaeological relics dating back 7,000 years.
The government says the Sivand dam in the Bolaghi gorge is needed by farmers in an area that has become desert.
Heritage activists have appealed to the president to postpone the flooding by some years so excavation can continue.
Archaeologists have discovered ancient wine making vessels, clay kilns and prehistoric caves in the area.
Many relics have been removed to be placed in a museum, but the site itself will be flooded which conservationists argue will be a huge loss.

This is nothing short of cultural genocide of Iranian heritage and indeed the world. Below is one of the relics recently found in the area being flooded and wiped off the map:


Wine making vessels found in Pasargad, Iran dating back to (6th BCE)

A bit of history: Archaeological investigations have shown that in fact it was in Persia that the earliest wine was made in world history. [2] At Godin Tepe in Western Persia the earliest evidence for wine making and wine points to the fourth millennium BCE.[3]
The jars found there have yielded evidence of wine residue and it is thought that they were used for storing wine as its funnel for the wine makers.[4] The location of Godin Tepe along the east-west trade route also plays along with the story of Shiraz grape having been taken to the West, and the evidence here suggests that wine making may very well have had its diffusion from this location.

It is with the first Persian dynasty, the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BCE), that we find the culture of wine drinking in the form of long drinking vessels known as rhython. We hear that the Persian court was most elaborate place of feasting that the Greeks knew. The existence of rhytons and the mention of wine filters (Greek oino th toi) in the antique literature from Persia, all suggest the importance of the drink. [5]
