Move against distortion of Persian architecture
Saturday, November 12, 2005 - ©2005 IranMania.com
LONDON, November 12 (IranMania) - Following the erroneous reference by
United Nations introducing wind-towers in buildings dating back to the
Achaemenid era 3,000 years ago as Arabic, Cultural Heritage News agency
(CHN) has launched a website; www.persianpetition.com to object to the
distortion of history.
It pointed out that the Dubai-based Best Practices International Award
to enhance the standard of lifestyle has misled the United Nations by
introducing a significant feature of Persian architecture as that of the
Arab civilization.
It called on the Iranians to log in the website and register their
protest against the distortion of Persian architecture, CHN added.
