Synopsis

‘Tell your king that within this earth lies an edifice’.
This sentence, taken from a legend about the ancient Persian citadel known as ‘Takht-e Soleymân’, had been playing on my mind for some time.
The various political and social upheavals in Iran, from the ‘Green Movement’ to those of today, finally persuaded me to journey to the citadel’s site with a group of friends.
Perhaps each step of our pilgrimage might help bring about change, or at least have an impact on the current situation in our land. And, who knows, we might even be able to fully accomplish the legend’s prophetic message, made so many thousands of years ago.
