Exhibition in Mumbai on Chogha Zanbil

Chogha-Zanbil is one of the Archeological sites in South-West Iran, in the province of Khuzistan. It was discovered by a French Archeologist, Jacques Jean-Marie de Morgan (1857-1924). This city dates back to 1250 B.C.by the king Untash-Napirisha after the war with Assyrian king. Its original name was Dur Untash, which means 'town of Untash', but it is unlikely that many people, besides priests and servants, ever lived there.
The complex is protected by three concentric walls which define the main areas of the 'town'. The inner area is wholly taken up with a great ziggurat dedicated to the main god, which was built over an earlier square temple with storage rooms also built by Untash-Napirisha. The middle area holds eleven temples for lesser gods. It is believed that twenty-two temples were originally planned, but the king died before they could be finished, and his successors discontinued the building work. In the outer area are royal palaces, a funerary palace containing five subterranean royal tombs.
This city is constructed by bricks only. There is no use of wood or metal. The young archeologist Seyed Mahdi Razavian, held an exhibition of photographs and replicas of artifacts from 2nd to 4th March 2011, at Iran Culture House, Mumbai. He liked India and its culture and was impressed by Mumbai and Pune cities. Below is the video of a short talk of him.

Electronic Media Boomerang on Western Propoganda

 The Media, either Print or Electronic has boomeranged on the western countries. They were used for propaganda and not for the information. The golden era of their monopoly over media has come to an end. The secretary Hillary Clinton had to concede this truth to the world that American CNN and British BBC are far behind from other channels of the world. Aljazeera of Qatar, Russia Today of Russia and Press TV of Iran have pushed them far behind.
These three can be watched live on internet.

New World Order

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran and India need to help spread justice in the world as the duo share humane perspectives on international affairs.
“Currently, the formation of a new world order is of prime importance and it is upon the independent countries to prevent the same old oppressive order from insinuating itself into a new form,” the website of the Iranian president's office quoted him as saying in a meeting with India's National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon in Tehran on Monday.
Ahmadinejad underlined the role of Iran's and India's cultural background and said the issue of culture will significantly contribute to the new world order.
The Iranian chief executive also called for further cooperation between Tehran and New Delhi.
For his part, the Indian official lauded his country's relations with the Islamic Republic and emphasized India's willingness "to establish all-out strategic relations with Iran.”
Iran is India's second-largest oil supplier after Saudi Arabia, with New Delhi importing 12 million barrels of Iranian crude on a monthly basis.
Trade volume between Iran and India reached almost $13 billion in 2007 after business between the two countries jumped by 80 percent.
India imported 21.3 million tons of crude oil from Iran from March 21, 2009 to March 21, 2010. (Source: PressTV)
