Part 2 - CROSSY's Norouz-Trip with MISSLONDON
ipuenktchen, 04:36h
Hi every one!
On 18th of March after having a great breakfast we left Sanandaj to Ilam. Weather was lovely and a bit breezy. After 3 hours arrived in Kermanshah. The Capital City of Kermanshah province about 120 km from the border of Iraq.
As we arrived went straight to city's most famous place, Taq-e-Bostan where we could see a series of large rock reliefs from the era of Sassanid Empire of ancient Persia, the Iranian dynasty which ruled western Asia from 226 to 650 AD.
First a mini lake with some boats
and then a 600 year old tree, then the main rock.
The second and third rock were splendid also!
After lunch we bought some cookies called Nan Berenji which is made only in Kermanshah and then to the first Unesco World Heritage site of my journey, BISOTUN about 23 KM from city. Bisotun means "God's Place".
The inscription insists of three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform scripts: Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian. The inscription is about 15 meters high by 25 meters wide.
Before visiting the main inscription everyone is welcomed by a monument of Bahram as Hercules carved in 153 B.C - which Yasi told me, that it's the fake one! The real one is stolen!!! :-0
Well! My next story will be about Ilam.
