experts has been set up in the Cultural Heritage
Organization, adding that next week a team of experts in
areas of architecture, restoration, documentation and

United States, Japan, and international organizations
such as UNESCO have announced their readiness to take
part in the restoration project; the ICHO committee and
UNESCO will be supervising the work of these various
groups in the project.
The Bam Citadel, the largest adobe complex in the world,
was 80% ruined in the earthquake that hit the area last
Friday. The complex dated back to more than 2000 years
ago and contained all elements of a city.
