Tagh-e Bostan

This arch dates back to the late Sassanid Period. The angels above the arch symbolize victory on the back wall the upper scene shows Khosrau 2 (590-628 A.D) between the manifestation of Ahuramazda and Anahita, goddess of abundance. The figure on the horseback is believed to represent Khosrau 2. The scene on the side walls depict his hunting exploits and feasts. The colored relief was made for Mohammad Ali Mirza Dowlatshah (son of Fath Ali Shah) in 1822 A.D.

Hehe, Zagros, you do know that Naser is singing: "I'm Kermanshahni, I don't speak Persian" :D
They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this.

Kore, I grew up with my family singing these songs around me.  These are not Nasser's lyrics, they are old Kermashani lyrics that he has used in his own song.  
 
Menale kordem; farsi niezwanem, Nasser should sing that since he isn't Kermashani :D.

Thanks for the youtube video, I'm going to show it to my Kurdish friends, who are from Kermanshah.

Not at all. After I saw the picture I thought you are religious. I am not religious beside I am not Muslim.

You look very young in that picture probably 6 or 7 years ago?
