Important petition regarding the protection of the 'Cyrus the Great Cylinder' to UNESCO World Heritage, the British Government, the British Museum, International media, and all organizations and individuals concerned with preservation of humanity’s precious treasures.
The hostility of the clerical regime of Iran toward anything and everything Persian, that predates Islam, is a well-documented fact. This priceless artifact belongs to Iran. Entrusting it to the hands of the sworn enemies of Persian heritage, entails an unacceptably high risk. It is imperative that the British authorities rescind the decision and take every measure to insure that the Cyrus Cylinder, is preserved safely and returned to its rightful owner Iran, only after the demise of the Islamic Republic.
This regime is already in the process of flooding over 100 important Iranian archaeological treasures after repeated request from the international community and the Persian people, not to do so. |
