A Cultural Travesty is About To Happen!

[Big_John]

Recently, Iran has constructed the Sivand Dam in the Tang-e-Bolaghi gorge. This dam will flood the gorge and consequently destroy or damage some of the most important arcaeological sites in the world, inculding the tomb of the founder of the Achaemenid dynasty, Cyrus the Great.

It doesn't look good for these ancient sites, but please sign this petition to possibly cause the Iranian Energy Ministry to delay the operation of the dam and give archaeologists more time to salvage the sites. Let them know that we care about the world's history and cultural heritage!
