preserve and guard their heritage, which would
provide them with an eternal infinite wealth.
Governor of Kerman, Mohammad Ali Karimi, explained
that the importance of the area became known in

now passed the hard times caused by looting and
illegal excavation and entered a new era.

invaluable remains.
