Lut Desert
Jean Lecaillon France - 29-Sep-22
Low in beautiful landscapes, Lut Desert is the exception that proves the rule in Iran. It is known like the hottest place in the world, but frankly speaking, it was nice when i've been there (november 2016). This desert is awesome and rare, it is not an erg or reg, it is a blend of earth and dust. Very special but incredible. The must-see is the light during the sunset, so enjoyable.
In France, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises us where we can go and where we should not go thanks to a scale of values: in particular a map with colours, green when it's ok, red when it's not (yellow and orange between green and red). I guess it's more or less similar in other countries (western countries at least). Today, Iran is totally in red for political reasons (especially today it's understandable because of protests and the death of Mahsa Amini, but it was not so obvious before). It was not the case in november of 2016, but Lut Desert and almost all the borders of Iran were coloured in red. The invoked reason was mainly presence of anti-personnel mines
Read OnAgra Fort
Jean Lecaillon France - 04-Sep-22
The Agra Fort is a huge fort very similar to the Red fort in delhi. To be honnest, i'm not able to distinguish either one if i had two pictures in front of me. But, contrary to the red fort, i visited this one.
It's quiet interesting but not so much beautiful compared to all the indian monuments they can build. I mean it's not the best souvenir i had in India. However, the size of the red stones are impressive. And it's rare i guess: you can see another WHS from this WHS! It's obviously the famous Taj Mahal, along the Yamuna river. We could start a thread on the forum about such possibility: to see a WHS from another one? :) (maybe it already exists, i didn't verify)
Read OnNisa
Jean Lecaillon France - 22-Aug-22
I feebly rated this site as the other members of the Community because it remains almost nothing of this old city. It looks like trenches of the WWI in a dry area...It's comparable to susa in Iran.
However, these are the ruins of one of the first capital of the Parthian Empire.
But it's an easy WHS to do thanks to its proximity of the crazy capital of Turkmenistan. So do it :)
Read OnTchogha Zanbil
Jean Lecaillon France - 22-Aug-22
Tchoga Zanbil is a nice and interesting pyramid but in my taste not so wonderful. I guess it depends on the people, one of my friend found it memorable, one of the best place in Iran ; it's not my own opinion.
The real positive point for me is that is the only heritage of the Kingdom of Elam. What is rare is precious.
This site just looks like a big "ziggurat" (pile) of bricks more or less recently arranged. It is, but some of these bricks are carved of an ancient writing, probably restored.
To conclude, it's a very interesting place which deserves its inscription, but I make express reservations due to a kind of non-authentic place.
Read OnAncient Merv
Jean Lecaillon France - 20-Aug-22
Gonur Depe and Merv belong to a very special country that I deeply recommend.
The site is composed of different and distant places which require small routes by car. It's a little bit special to see ruins of buildings dating of periods very different, that's probably why the site is laid out like this.
I remember the multitude of fragments of earthenware jars scattered on the ground, and above all the strange green vestiges of the old ovens.
My favourite building is on the joined picture, quite massive.
