Us Introduction O ver the years, many significant archeological finds have been smuggled out of Iran or simply stolen from Iran. In the past few years, these clandestine activities have intensified to a point where jewels, royal crowns, and other historically valuable artifacts are taken out of Iran. Iran's history and its vast artifacts must not be sold in the streets of Karachi, London, Tel Aviv, or New York. Recent visits to Iranian museums also demonstrate the disturbing fact that many historical finds are absent or taken away from these museums.
Tourism is a major source of income for many countries.
Iran must protect its historic assets at all costs. A goal of this internet web site is to document the stolen properties which now are transferred to locations and museums in western countries. These archeological finds belong to Iran and its people . Other countries and citizens of the world value them, but Iranians deserve to keep them in Iran. Besides being a source of revenue in tourism, they can provide many answers to contributions of Iranians to the world.
