Let's celebrate Cyrus The Great Day on October 29
__________________________
International Committee to Save the Archeological Sites of Pasargad Plains
Invitation for Action, on the anniversary of the first
Declaration of Human Rights by Cyrus the Great.
Let's celebrate Cyrus's Day and save his birthplace, capital
and mausoleum from the clutches of Sivan Dam
The civilized world celebrates the Cyrus's Day on October 29, the anniversary of
his entry into Babylon 2544 years ago and his declaration of Human Rights, the
first of such an act in the human history. This is the greatest honor that a nation can
have in its historical treasures. On October 29th of 539 BC, Cyrus, the king of
Persia (Iran) issued a declaration the contents of which are still revered by all
nations and truly reflect the deepest hopes of his own nation today: Freedom of
religion, elimination of all racial and national discriminations, freedom to choose
the place of residence, the people's right to choose or remove their leaders,
elimination of slavery and endeavor to reach perpetual peace between nations.
These are actually the very precious presents that Iranians have given to the human
race through their ancient political leader.
And it is just on such a day that the importance of saving this great man's
birthplace, capital city and mausoleum becomes more evident. The Islamic
government of Iran has decided to begin the operational phase of a dam built in the
vicinity of Cyrus's capital and mausoleum at the beginning of the coming February
that coincides with the return of Ayatollah Khomeini to Iran. Experts believe that
the lake behind this dam will drown vast parts of the ancient Pasargad city and,
ultimately, will ruin Cyrus's mausoleum. We are protesting this cultural crime and
thousands of people have raised their voices by joining our campaign. By signing
our open letter to United Nations and the UNESCO you can make this voice even
louder. You also can help on October 29th by contacting others in public places like
libraries, museums and civil centers of your place of residence and persuading
everyone to sign the petition for saving the precious archeological treasures of
Pasargad.
For more information on the ancient Pasargad city, Cyrus's Human
Rights Declaration, the construction of Sivand Dam, what the experts
say, download the campaign's poster and sign the petition, please use

Petition 10: Save the Precious Archeological Sites of Pasargad in Iran
Sign the Petition -
View Current Signatures
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: People of the world and the United Nations Organization
We, the undersigned, regretfully have to inform all the inhabitants of our planet earth that one of the greatest parts of the historical heritage of human race is on the verge of permanent extinction. The Islamic Republic of Iran has embarked on the finalizing stages of a dam construction in south of Iran that will ultimately drown the archeological sites of Pasargad and Persepolice, the ancient capital of the Archimedean Empire – a rich and complex site that, since its inception, has been considered by all writers of antiquity as one of the wonders of the ancient world and, thus, a part of the cultural heritage of the human race.
Comparing to the destruction of two Buddha statues in Afghanistan by the Talibans, this new threat and its consequent loss is beyond any imaginable destruction that have been inflicted on the history of the world. Although these glorious remainders of the Iranian history are a part of this nation’s historical identity, their loss is not by any means confined to them. That is to say, it is not only the Iranian nation that would be deprived of the most important part of its cultural identity; it is the world history that is in danger.
Considering only one fact could convey a powerful message to all of us. Amongst the sites that are threatened to be wiped from the face of the earth lies the tomb of Cyrus the Great, the Archimedean king of 2500 years ago who, in his unification of political systems, brought freedom to all those nations that lived under his lead through his “Declaration of Human Rights.” In fact, he is considered as the first human being in power who has advocated for the right of humans to choose and adhere to their values, cultures, religious creeds and trains of thought. A replica of the cylinder of his declaration is now exhibited in the UN building to symbolize the long efforts of our race to exit from the savagery of the animal kingdom and enter into the man-made civilized world. It is the tomb of this father of human rights that is being totally erased amongst many other historical monuments.
We call upon the conscious of all human beings and caution them about this immanent threat that is shadowing over an ancient country, culture and history. We need to see the immediate action of all world organizations, especially the United Nations and its cultural wings such as UNESCO, to step in and stop this inhumane cruelty to such precious heritages of our human race. We need to see immediate action and will follow our petition in any venues that are opened to us. Accordingly, we are setting up an “International Committee to Save the Archeological Sites of Pasargad” and invite every body to join it. We have to remember this: If the civilized world does not stop such a horrendous action of the forces of destruction now, we will soon lose everything that our civilization has created.
On behalf of the “International Committee to Save the Archeological Sites of Pasargad”
Shokooh Mirzadegi (Iranian writer)
Dr. Esmail Nooriala (Iranian Writer)
