[00:00:00] a trip to the depths of history, the history of
[00:00:03] siri.
[00:00:09] of
[00:00:24] سلام
[00:00:24] of من جواد قرایی
[00:00:25] هستم.
[00:00:30] traveled 1500 km from Tehran to the south of
[00:00:33] Buschher province on the coast
[00:00:35] of the Persian Gulf to show you around the beautiful historical
[00:00:39] city of
[00:00:40] SiraF.
[00:00:51] Where I'm standing right now is 60 kilometers to the south pars
[00:00:56] of region.
[00:01:00] It's one
[00:01:01] of the technical and engineering feets of modern day
[00:01:04] Iran.
[00:01:11] This is Sira,
[00:01:12] a city lost in the pages of history, or should I say
[00:01:15] a city buried under the dust of time, fine
[00:01:18] of layer of of dust accumulated over thousands of
[00:01:21] years.
[00:01:41] On this leg of my journey, I have decided to show what the good
[00:01:45] people of this land have been doing over the past thousands of
[00:01:49] years, masterpieces of a by-gone era and of even
[00:01:52] today.
[00:02:05] of
[00:02:10] As I do so, I set eyes on strange niches on the walls
[00:02:14] of the valley ahead. Before I came to this area, my good friend
[00:02:18] Muhammad Kangani told
[00:02:19] me a few things about the Lier Valley. One of those
[00:02:23] of things was the niches in the walls
[00:02:24] of the valley. Muhammad Kangoni is one
[00:02:26] of the aved researchers of siraf. He has spent.
[00:02:30] of
[00:02:35] of
[00:02:38] of
[00:02:43] of
[00:03:00] یکی of از موارد مهمی
[00:03:04] که ما می تونیم روش کار کنیم

[00:03:19] فرهنگی و میراث فرهنگی
[00:03:22] اینها معرفی آثار
[00:03:25] of به بچه ها که اینا خودشون می تونن
[00:03:29] یه سفیری باشن هرجا میرن یعنی
[00:03:32] خودشون رو صاحب این تاریخ و فرهنگ و اقلیم
[00:03:36] و طبیعت این کشور بدونن هرجا هم
[00:03:39] میرن نشون بدن نشون میدن که
[00:03:43] مثلاً ما از نقطه

[00:03:50] of سیرافه.
[00:04:14] of The remains
[00:04:15] of the city, including the bank and bazar of ancient siraf as
[00:04:19] well as the wells, the cisterns and the temple in the
[00:04:22] mountains, made everything clear for me, but the one
[00:04:26] place that people around the world all respect in the name of human.
[00:04:30] is cemeteries, the only place
[00:04:32] of left for me to see that was proof of life and economic prosperity
[00:04:36] in ancient siraf was very old cemetery. the
[00:04:40] lier valley houses one
[00:04:42] of the cemeteries of siraf, contrary to ordinary
[00:04:45] cemetaries, the graves here aren't on the bottom
[00:04:48] of the valley. before the introduction of islam to siraf, most
[00:04:52] of the inhabitants of this land were followers
[00:04:55] of the zoroasterian faith. by religion they wouldn't
[00:04:58] bury their dead.
[00:05:34] به هر کدوم از این حفره هایی که داخل کوه they call each these niches in the
[00:05:38] walls
[00:05:38] of this valley or a place for storing bones.
[00:06:47] "there is a theory that maintains these alcoves may have
[00:06:51] been where they put the elderly, they would put the elderly or
[00:06:55] terminal patients with enough sustenance and left them there to
[00:06:58] expire, but for someone who knows the Iranian temperament
[00:07:02] well, that notion is simply unthinkable.
[00:07:05] historians speak of ancient siraphes as people of wealth and of
[00:07:09] rich culture and civilization. therefore ancient..." raffies
[00:07:13] would no doubt pay great homage to the elderly who were most
[00:07:16] probably senior members their own families, so there wouldn't
[00:07:20] have been a reason for them to banish their elders to live in such
[00:07:24] tough conditions in mountainside alcoves. without a
[00:07:28] doubt, something like that would have been considered a form of torture
[00:07:31] or even murder. the big houses and the culture and wealth the
[00:07:35] people of siraf could not possibly have allowed something like
[00:07:39] that. most researchers believe these niches and walls the
[00:07:43] valley are nothing but graves that ancient siraffies used to
[00:07:46] place the remains their dead in. graves dug into the walls the
[00:07:50] valley to protect the remains against wild animals and floods.
[00:07:54] these graves were called gourdakmes or towers of
[00:07:58] silence.
[00:08:10] اینجا اعماق دره لیره.
[00:09:14] The rocks you see here, these bolders stacked up over here used to
[00:09:18] form part of this massive wall behind me. In these rocks,
[00:09:22] I can see the cave-like formations that used to be
[00:09:25] cisterns top the searop mountain.
[00:09:29] Unfortunately, this region's climate is really causing the
[00:09:32] traditional reservoirs here, these man-made constructions, that
[00:09:36] are centuries old to be eroded away much faster
[00:09:40] than those in other areas with less. extreme climatic
[00:09:43] conditions, many the holes, catacombs and
[00:09:47] ostodons have all been destroyed by landslides,
[00:09:50] torrential rains and flooding in the area over the years.
[00:09:54] nonetheless, many catacombs, wells and cisterns have survived to this
[00:09:57] day, which can be preserved and introduced to others
[00:10:01] so they can learn about the architecture, the culture and history of our
[00:10:05] ancestors. از اونها حفاظت کرد و اون ها رو به
[00:10:09] دیگران معرفی کرد تا بتونن از
[00:10:13] معماری و تاریخ و فرهنگ گذشتگان خودشون اطلاعاتی
[00:10:16] کسب
[00:10:17] بکنند.
[00:10:29] خیلی از این گوردخما ها رو وقتی که اجساد و داخلشون
[00:10:34] these میگذاشتم what
[00:10:35] many they with did was they would wall off their
[00:10:38] entonces look
[00:10:42] you can still see the frame at the mouth of this one
[00:10:44] here they used stones and
[00:10:48] block off the entrance to this grave to prevent anyone from trying to
[00:10:52] touch them or to prevent wild animals.
[00:11:25] sisters construction abilities and their persistence against the
[00:11:28] odds. I pried myself on their prudence and
[00:11:32] perseverance. I have many unanswered questions about
[00:11:35] siraf, but there is no one to answer them for me. But what I am
[00:11:39] sure about is the intelligence and creativity the people of
[00:11:42] siraf 1500 years ago. I hope from the
[00:11:46] bottom of my heart that the environment in the vicinity of siraf
[00:11:50] city remains as it is forever, but things are completely
[00:11:53] different.
[00:12:12] the massive south paris oil and gas field has brought
[00:12:15] prosperity back to the region after more than a thousand
[00:12:19] years, no one in the region is out of work, you'd be
[00:12:22] hard pressed to see anyone on the street. the city during
[00:12:26] the day, they are all working on the south pars field or at companies
[00:12:30] affiliated to it. people come to work in asaaluya from far and
[00:12:34] wide and are busy making an honest living. the
[00:12:37] invaluable historical constructions of seeraf are under attack
[00:12:41] by unbridled development and have still not been listed as a
[00:12:45] world heritage site. however, i'm very hopeful
[00:12:48] that UNESCO would put this masterpiece of ancient Iran its
[00:12:52] list.
[00:13:55] over millions of years by rainwater washing down the
[00:13:58] jawshak salt dome and itself bringing about this
[00:14:02] gargantuan salt
[00:14:03] pit. on the next leg of
[00:14:07] my trip to Bucher, the kind people the region recommended that I
[00:14:11] pay
[00:14:11] a visit
[00:14:12] to beautiful and bizarre mountain in the region, the
[00:14:15] jawshak salt
[00:14:16] dome.
[00:14:24] This lofty. Salt mountain is a unique site to see.
[00:14:28] Joshak is a mountain of salt with ravines that have water
[00:14:32] with high concentrations of salt flowing in
[00:14:35] them.
[00:16:07] salt caves, salt
[00:16:24] salt
[00:16:24] pot towers holes, and small waterfalls are among the beauties of this
[00:16:28] incomparable mountain, the scenery in the jawac salt dome is
[00:16:32] spectacular in the true sense the word, there isn't a scrap
[00:16:36] of rubbish or a song. or road in the whole area, its
[00:16:40] pristineness makes it all the more
[00:16:42] attractive.
[00:18:22] Very beautiful shapes. That's because rain water washes
[00:18:26] away all those deposits and the cracks in the salt rocks,
[00:18:29] leaving these shapes and colors in its wake. They are
[00:18:33] amazing. This is one the most beautiful spots in the natural environment of
[00:18:37] Bush.
[00:21:50] they some like in look places
[00:21:56] that
[00:21:56] you see here and there are all over the place, they are all made of
[00:22:00] salt. the salt deposits and the water dripping from the ceiling
[00:22:04] have created these coliflower beautiful both
[00:22:05] shapes. on the floor and on the walls the cave. the most
[00:22:09] important thing we have to remember when we step into such beautiful
[00:22:13] place is that we should only take pictures or feast our eyes on what
[00:22:17] we see here and leave without doing any...
[00:22:50] این اثری از خودمون به جا
[00:22:51] بگذاریم.
[00:23:26] Fortunately, the informed nature loving individuals who have traveled to
[00:23:30] this area before, were completely aware their
[00:23:33] responsibility in relation to the environment. There are
[00:23:37] no writings on the walls or anywhere else in the caves. All
[00:23:41] the stalagmites and stalactites are intact and in their
[00:23:45] rightful places. Those nature travelers left Joshak
[00:23:49] without so much as make a dent in the salty formations here.
[00:23:52] Everything is as it should be for the future generations to
[00:23:55] see. I am basking in all the beauties of Buser
[00:23:59] province. The history and culture the province, along with
[00:24:03] its beautiful and intact environment, preserved by the
[00:24:07] amicable and hospitable people of this land for future generations,
[00:24:11] is a striking museum of good deeds. I am in
[00:24:14] all the beauties in the southwest of my beloved country. It is
[00:24:18] difficult for me to leave. behind all these beauties and all this
[00:24:22] kindness, but the fact is that my trip has come to an end,
[00:24:26] I have to return home and prepare for a trip to somewhere else
[00:24:30] in beautiful Iran. This is my homeland, I feel
[00:24:34] at home here, no matter where I am, and I consider
[00:24:38] all its people as members of one big
[00:24:41] family.
[00:24:47] With backful of new experiences and memories, I leave
[00:24:50] SiraF with its beautiful environment and its rich
[00:24:54] history and I do it without leaving behind any
[00:24:57] unfavorable trace of myself in the entire
[00:25:00] region.
[00:25:41] The clamer of
[00:25:42] life,
[00:25:47] seclusion and thought.
[00:25:54] a
[00:25:55] philosopher,
[00:26:01] poet.
[00:26:42] استهداف شركه ارامكو من قبل القوات
[00:26:45] اليمنيه.
[00:27:02] story of Iran's resilience: today, a U.S. Israel strike
[00:27:06] during the 40-day war in Iran hit a laser and plasma
[00:27:10] research facility in Tehran, and most people would assume that
[00:27:13] means shut downown, silence, damage, end of work, but
[00:27:17] that's not what happened in the Islamic Republic of Iran, because within
[00:27:21] days the labs were running again, researchers back in the
[00:27:25] building, equipment being cleared and experiments
[00:27:29] restarting, so the first question right, self: what
[00:27:33] exactly was the U.S. Israel strike supposed to stop?
[00:27:37] The answer is quite clear. It was attempt to attack Iran
[00:27:40] scientific infrastructure itself. Many of you may
[00:27:44] ask, but why? Let's unfold that. The facility is a
[00:27:48] working research center focused on plasma physics,
[00:27:51] photonics, biomedical imaging and industrial
[00:27:55] applications, the kind of science that moves between
[00:27:58] medicine, energy and materials. And hey, it is not just...
[00:28:02] theory, the inventions are being applied in
[00:28:05] Eurospitals, industry, pharmaceuticals,
[00:28:09] even for gempstones. so if the goal was disruption,
[00:28:13] did the US and Israel succeed? the clear answer is no.
[00:28:16] another question pops up, how is the work already continuing?
[00:28:20] because Iranian scientists are framing this as deeper than
[00:28:24] physical damage. they believe it reflects pattern,
[00:28:28] pressure on Iran's scientific infrastructure. something
[00:28:32] the U.S. and Israel have been doing for decades, remember
[00:28:35] the target killings of Iran's nuclear scientists and cyber
[00:28:39] attacks and peaceful nuclear plants. Anyways, this attack was
[00:28:43] another desperate attempt to disrupt years of research,
[00:28:47] expertise and technological progress instead of allowing
[00:28:51] the strike to define the institute's future, Iranian
[00:28:54] scientists returned within days to restore operations
[00:28:58] and restart projects at the center, the damage equipment is...
[00:29:02] is already being replaced and in some cases operated within
[00:29:06] domestically developed systems, so instead of shutting the work
[00:29:09] down, the US is really strike appears to have accelerated
[00:29:13] rebuild cycle, and that's how the Islamic Republic
[00:29:17] works.
[00:29:40] Your headlines on press DV, the Islamic Revolution Gas Core
[00:29:44] captures two American MQM 170 drones over
[00:29:47] Keshp Island while destroying the 55th
[00:29:50] USMQ9 drone east the Hurmus straight. An
[00:29:54] Iranian army commander says the aggression against Iran shattered the image of
[00:29:58] US power while inflicting $47 billion dollars in direct.
