Bam

No, that's not a comic book sound effect. Bam is a city in southern Iran that was a significant hub on the silk route through this region. The city dates to the Parthian empire, perhaps as early as the 3rd century BCE.
Bam is perhaps best known for the 2003 earthquake that killed more than 26,000 people and injured 30,000 more. The city was flattened and is continuing to be rebuilt.
The 1st 2 pictures are a couple streets in the downtown area. This is a Friday so most shops are closed.
The next 5 pictures are of an old caravanserai showing remains of several parts of the facility.
The 7th picture looks into the caravanserai through a cross shaped opening. It is likely that this relates to Zoroastrianism that originated here and their science of 4 elements: air, water, fire, soil.
The last 3 pictures are in a main mosque of the city.Baca lagi
