Sandstorm Uncovered Possible Unknown Archaeological Site in Iran

Let's hope the Islamic state doesn't fucking destroy it all again

My first thought as well

What was that song again?

ISIS is not in Iran, they are also getting weaker all the time so they have no manpower or resources trying to fight Iran when they are getting destroyed by Iraq.

Wouldn't you want to go down in that hole with a flashlight and a shovel? I'm sure every villager around there is trying to.

>>131630
They probably think ISIS is Iran.

>>131631
That's why police secured the site.

>>131645
I don't know what the punishment for looting an archaeological site in Iran is, but I doubt it's non-custodial.

Whichever islamist group you want then m8, there's plenty to go around and they all enjoy destroying their own cultural heritage

>>131695
>all "islamist" groups are the same
You must be 18+ to post on this board, son.

The only militants allowed in Iran are government loyal.
They're good boys and the certainly don't vandalise historical sites.

It's in Iran. They actually respect their cultural heritage.

>>131988
Just stop he's retarded.

>>131579
Wouldn't it be neat if they found something like the arc of the covenant in there?

>>131598
Honestly, call me callous but THIS is the worst thing I think the IS has done. Destroying important historical and cultural heritage landmarks and locations pisses me off to no end.

Id say you are slightly autistic if you think this is worse than other cruel things they do. Would you also say that al qaida blowing up that Buddha statue was worse than 9/11?

>>132606
Not him, but how the hell does that make him autistic? Destroying human history is one of the worst things one could possibly do.

>>132600
It would be even more neat if they found something from the Kingdom of Elam which is thousands of years older than the Arc of the covenant is supposed to be.

>>131988
Islamist groups don't destroy ancient churches, temples and mosques regularly?

>>133561
One islamic group does. Do they represent them all?

>>133563
Islamist=\=Islamic

According to http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/sandstorm-iran-reveals-remnants-what-possibly-ancient-city-007918
it's likely to be Islamic middle ages from 661 to 1508 AD. But that might just be the top layer of something far more ancient and Iranian archeological authorities say they refuse to give a preliminary date until they are able to do more research, which should come soon. Hopefully the English language Iranian press will report on it.
