Ancient Ruins, Iran

Ancient Ruins, Iran
During its long history, Iran has been controlled by Persians, Arabs, Turks, and Mongols. Ancient ruins from these civilizations can be found throughout the country. These ruins of an ancient village are near Tehrān, the capital of Iran. Tehrān rose to prominence after Mongols destroyed surrounding cities in the 13th century.
