Flash flood of the Pulvar River in Pasargadae

Most of the visitors who have paid tribute to Cyrus the Great at his Tomb in Pasargadae saw it in a wide flat dry plain where it is hard to find any trace of the Pulvar River (read more at: Cyrus the Great who made Pasargadae the capital of Persia and The gem of Pasargadae: the Tomb of Cyrus the Great).


The recent floods in southwestern Iran have closely endangered the archaeological sites around the city of Shiraz, and Cyrus’ Tomb is one of them. Pictures are hard to come by and the one I found is not of the best quality.

Since this short film apparently offers no means to share it in an embedded form (or I am unable to find it?), I can only offer this link to the Mehr News Agency who has published it. 

A unique view to enjoy!
