Ancient, dusty Meybod city and 2000 years old Narin Castle, Central Iran

in #cityscapephotography7 years ago (edited)

This is one of the typical pre-islamic Persian castles, dated at least 2000 years old, but some say it's actually much older - up to 7000 years old.
The castle survived numerous earthquakes and the view from its roof now is probably very similar to how it was back then...

Good post. Upvoted.

I was just reading an article on 3-D printed buildings.

How cool would it be if you could get a 3-D printed building designed to look just like one of the buildings you photographed.

It would be like living in the past but with wifi and electric power of course.

Love the look. As an archaeologist, these photos are really up my alley.

Glad you like it!

Just incredible. Iran hides a lot of mysteries from its past!
