Hi Mehrdad, again,
you really make me want to visit Iran again! I haven't been in the South. The prophet's tomb and your commentary is interesting: the style of the dome is seljuk-turk (11th c. AD), like the tomb of prophet Jezekiel in Iraq, like the tomb of prophet Joshua in Baghdad.
I also learned from Wikipedia that the seljuk-turk khan named-- Seljuk-- had is many sons named after Old testament prophets without being Jew, Christian or Muslim. You make me think about the great history of Persia and Iran!
Thanks for presenting the picture.
My best regards, Dietrich
