Absolutely Beautiful. I've watched this many times. I collect Persian art and am going to "try" to use these colors when I paint my new apartment this spring. Thanks for posting this.
Not only will they not rebuild the sites, the government was going to destroy the tomb of Great Cyrus and Parsa had it not been for the citizens to stop it.

What a shame that it was never rebuild.
May the next generation do the job.
Long live Persia!
