I think I want to start a thread of cultural heritage sites in Iran. I know the Pentagon has said we will follow the laws and not bomb them, but I don't trust this administration. There are many cultural heritage sites in Iran. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Heritage_Sites_in_Iran
Okay, starting my thread of cultural heritage sites in Iran. First site is Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire from the reign of Darius I. (& no, I'm not an expert, I had to look that up. But ancient history is fascinating.Another site tomorrow! Pics all from Google)

Next up! The ancient city of Susa. (Btw, this will be in no sort of order) Susa was part of several different empires including the Elamite, the First Persian Empire, the Seleucid and the Parthian to name a few. It is mentioned in Biblical texts by the Elamite name of Shushan.

I'm really enjoying doing this thread by the way. I have always loved ancient history, it's the first thing I ever geeked out about in my life, and looking up these sites and reading/learning about them is absolutely fascinating to me.
And onto my next Iranian cultural heritage site, it is the archaeological site of Haft Tepe in the the Khuzestan Province. The remains of the Elamite city of Kabnak were discovered here back in 1908 and excavations are still taking place.

Was afraid I'd have to skip this today because we lost power for an hour or so but it's back on! Yay!!! So will continue my Iranian cultural heritage thread. Today's site is going to be a little different, it's going to be a modern site with ancient artifacts.
Today's cultural heritage site is the National Museum of Iran which houses artifacts from throughout Iranian history. I absolutely love museums and it would be amazing to be able to visit this particular one with so much history living inside of it.

Throwing a thank you to Google, Wikipedia and other sites on Google for the photos and information on this thread. I couldn't do it without you! I love history, especially ancient history, but I'm definitely not an expert.
I'm going a bit more ancient with my Iranian cultural heritage site, Konar Sandal, which is a Bronze Age site. (Though there is a small modern village of the same name.)
