- AlirezaOctober 7, 2014Artistically cut stones used to be joined together using lead clips to make them resistant to earthquakes. Metal clips must be replaced or more cracks in the stones would appear over time.
Upvote26DownvoteUpvoted 1 week ago - AlirezaOctober 7, 2014It is speculated that in this wonderful carving the lion and the cow are symbols of spring and winter. The lion conquers over the cow as the first day of spring (Nowruz) emerges.

- Matthew BradeyJanuary 3, 2019The preserved stone carvings are great. Also take the time to climb up to both tombs. Use a guide and hire the VR headsets.UpvoteDownvote
- AlirezaOctober 6, 2014Trained guides are available, but they only accompany a group of visitors if they are paid 35 thousand Tomans. The more the number of people in the group, the less every individual's share.Upvote1Downvote
