Disrespect and disregard for historical and cultural monuments continue. In the latest of these atrocities, a 2,700-year-old Assyrian lithograph has been left in the heart of a mountain in Kamyaran, Kurdistan Province.
According to Kurd Vari Online, the Mehregan Cultural Website has published a report on the danger of Assyrian lithography in Kamyaran due to natural factors, lack of maintenance and exposure to looting.
The lithographs and inscriptions are among the monuments that are referred to as living and clear documents, each of which recounts a historical-social-cultural or political deity.
However, most of these valuable national monuments have been left in a corner and looted.
Disrespect and disregard for historical and cultural monuments continue. In the latest of these atrocities, a 2,700-year-old Assyrian lithograph has been left in the heart of a mountain in Kamyaran, Kurdistan Province.
This lithograph, which is surrounded by Assyrian cuneiform, is of great value to archaeologists, linguists, and researchers.
This ancient monument displays the historical developments and political and social conditions of that time in the west of the country and reminds us of the dominance of the enemies, the protection and maintenance of which is very important.
On the other hand, the passage of time and natural factors such as wind, rain, snow and sun, and climate change in various seasons have made him unhappy.
Flowers of rocks have surrounded it, and corrosion and cracking have emerged over time due to natural factors, posing a serious threat.
But the biggest difficulty for this national survivor is the lack of a guard and a ID card around it and leaving it in a corner. Because the looters, for various reasons, have broken some of the mountain's rocks from the top of the mountain, and this is a serious danger to it.
Although access to this lithograph is very difficult, it should not be forgotten that any bite and damage can be done. In particular, the position of this painter (prominent role) is out of the reach of the Cultural Heritage Organization, and the rebellion of the Revolutionary Guards against it may not take place once a year, which is confirmed by the indigenous people.
It is also in danger of being destroyed by looters, and they can easily reach it and injure it in the absence of a guardian and trustee.
Also, most of the inscriptions are damaged and illegible, and the directors of the cultural heritage should find a root solution for it as soon as possible.
Kamran, 35, a native of the village near the rock, told the Mehregan cultural website: "Several times in the last two years, unknown people have come to this monument from the top of the mountain and broken parts of the mountain rocks under the pretext of finding treasure." . In the past, when the water flowed down the river, it was difficult to access, but it has been drought for several years, making it easy for these people.
This ancient inscription is highly valued for studying the history of Iran before the rise to power of the Medes, and it is appropriate for urban and provincial cultural directors to pay more attention to it.
Also, the destruction of the right wall of the arched façade has become more widespread in recent years.
Due to the many calcareous sediments that cover it, the inscriptions (lines) of the inscriptions cannot be seen. This valuable monument is excavated at a height of about 50 meters from the wall of the mountain.
The inscriptions are carved on the lithograph inside the frame. This image shows Sargen wearing a circular hat. Her face is shown as a profile and has a long, curly beard and thick hair that falls from the back of her neck.
He is also wearing a long robe and a torso. The second Sargon in his right hand, which he has raised, has a replica of a place of worship that can be the place of worship of one of the gods mentioned in the inscription. It shows his victory.
All surfaces of the frame are covered with writing and even due to lack of space, it is written on the side of the arch. This writing is in Assyrian cuneiform and contains 46 lines.
The event that motivated the creation of this ancient monument was the Assyrian-led attack on 'Karala'. A land located in the Zagros Mountains and east (east) of Assyria.
Kamyaran is the southernmost city of Kurdistan province, which is a road from the west of Kamyaran to Marivan.
It should be noted that the address of this monument has been avoided due to its danger.
