once characteristic of the region. so you just use a, gave me the tab yet, and that's the landscape of this region. the notes and i get that. for example, the lovely reflections of the sun's rays on the water and the persian gulf on the silvery gleam of the fish, the swim in mclean, waters, atalla, and re nobody more here. 3 on the title, each, the various motifs had his fish styles pulse gets druids, the, i believe they're in science. why, what you can see in the water. so it seems that these motifs has been passed on from one generation to the next to the most of this, the is the in spring shifting pattern. hol let it ring the level on every region of

a run has that same domain that can keep in mind when i 1st came here, i thought perhaps i could have the women speak to you that odd when added us to show you to them civil able know, because usually they are point to where to send. you don't get us when i'm be appreciated. have a lot less updates when the pico countries to you know, physically told us as he said when they say do an audit to yes but more of in here thing. well nash, i'm go to the color then mix the to go. so what would you prefer? one color, what do you think i could i already know the angles? sure. 30, maybe new shot on. i know you know miguel. tell the girls to do one branch like this. and maybe if it looks nice, little embroider all the other branches and the same color, and not a surely clean behind me. i'm in a shell re fee is married to a bond already. fisher. per embroidery is inspired by the natural world. the push to the north side,

the stairs doozy is a traditional handicraft in cash. and on the, the, the women of the, i, linda, do their own very at home the data and it's a source of income for us in we have no body. and we also don't prepare the pattern in advance. the embroider on the tool whose book as 0 as june. it's as though it all just emerges from my minds and heart and their hands transported onto the fabric on meeting the tad. his manners gave us this last commission at the start of the year. the year of the rooster had just started and she wanted to incorporate it as a motif went on. she didn't know if it would be possible because it was something totally new in horse deville and we've got a who's and john, they didn't get hungry. i did have the photos that have doors, flowers at those. oh, that's easy for us to embroider black with a rooster and jump. this was our very 1st one idea,

but the girls managed to embroider this very complicated is difficult to add or that if you boot get back to ha and john dot net, the net call. i mean, these not waste anything which we called borg as are part of an old traditional that's been preserved to this day. when a girl and aries, she wears this magazine. it shows she's become a woman like me get you know, to get me pushy. the mass because part of our he job who are head covering mutual a very important part. the guy that had said that a is that the hum, hey job mass subleasing to the head who studies on kitchen. every village has its characteristic, borges had the older the woman, the larger her mask is and the more surface it covers. that's the,

that's how it's always been on capable of muted in napa bed cables of 10, ask also offers good protection from the sun pad. make sure was over time. you sure . hi. i'm with the whole issue now to initial a lot of me to the heart. the of all the masks that cover the entire face were only the eyes are visible. can also be worn by women whose skin sensitive to the sun is shown by their own bush tab, fucked it off topic of thought a sweet edition. now. now what are the 2 again, ever since menus to begin visiting us since the 1st time we met her and she's been encouraging me to do more work with logos. repeat all had to embroider addresses, scarves and all sorts of things. i'd say that helps me improve and brings greater recognition to her handicraft beach that has to and that helps us preserve ahead as

i do show a fatal sure the welcome to me on the day of the day when i go out onto the water to do some fishing after a long day, but i don't really care much about my catch. he will, he did get up more. i mainly come out here to be alone and to feel a connection which at this deal. it's about the hussy, the class, the the bond already women feel a deep bond to the island and its way of light, which is reflected in their embroidery work, the back on

the mainland, a good 500 kilometers from the clarence straight. we arrive at the fabled city of bomb. so it is a barren landscape, seemingly and hospitable. but the people of the city have managed to bring water here from the mountains and underground system of canals called cannot transport the water from the ball. a bar, as mountains transforming the air red plateau into an expanse of green. the millions of date, palms grow in balm supplying about one 3rd of the dates produced any rock. the famous mazda of 40 dates have existed in the region for thousands of years. but cultivation of the fruit often called the pearl of persia, began in bomb only 200 years ago. the mars,

the age of 40 was born in bomb. she feels a close bond to our city, a place that has become a symbol of resilience and determination. ended up going to you these old with bottled palm trees on the very moon. how rushing day this year. it will not be there and important food for us here in bomb battery is as i version, is that for the a large citadel some 2500 years old. stands at the edge of the city. on december 26th, 2003. the complex was destroyed by an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the richter scale, the earthquake claimed 26000 lives. tens of thousands were injured and shows us little that night, 16 years ago when the choke,

i thought to the faces be and get them to give me. so we can't go on off to something like that. have joined wherever you look to you saw the body of a family member or a friend. how do you. busy that and that's in the district. so i was 21 years old with me as quite strong some 20. there's a problem back then. i had my own women so could see which had been coaching since i was 16 on the by me today. often the catastrophe, only one member of my team was in the nice or the get off that with that so that you're not going to the others had been killed by the tell them about your fulcher . the then the how much will kind of houses were destroyed and so many people died. but the thing mom still stood disability for items proud both have i to be to in that

ask you what's interesting is that hearing from palm trees accounted by using the counseling unit to serve it so as though they were human to you. and so i'm kind of states problems are an unusual kind of train or even not prove them and they was dying. we couldn't even, we plumb them fresh. but if you've cut off the top, the crowd was the palm. do you, should they die? has the it has like a person who has had the head chopped off with the image and my getting to us that is god's visit the legal i'm driving to fetch the people in the sitting and looked completely empty for the best friends at the blue link. i will let you know that they have lost everything cause you and i shouldn't have been to this site to fact shows my thoughts. is that what it is? what propels me to continue with the sounds good to hear? am i going to ask you to visit

i do move on. i do want to play with 2 goals. all right. then put the 2 yellow ones away and get to have the most you get into what for you to rebuild. tune with a few goals which device that dissolves to relatively ok, so i don't think so great. i remember. but again that is doable. it's about sticking the matcher who quoted me when i coach my new players or the young women who joined my team or the voucher. i'm sometimes reminded of my own to your head. but yeah, that was equipment because that's the advantage that somebody sent to fucked it up there being an issue. sometimes i only see them standing before me and then i feel happy, which one of us feels like they've returned to me as though i'm still coaching the same today, most of which are the, the,

the center of bomb has. meanwhile, been rebuilt and work on the citadel is ongoing. almost 90 percent of the citadel has already been restored, and one day it will be returned to its former glory. the reconstruction program, which was launched by unesco, is using the same materials and methods employed in the original construction shows. uh 16 years have passed since the it's quite a while and we've been able to rebuild the old city if um we, we 5 the soccer team and for 6 years in a row we find the undefeated champions of the rain in women's name. one of the testing bomb is a typical iranian city. one that survived and overcome numerous con glasses, a natural disaster. it's a city with a long history that takes pride and it's achievements and treasures.

moving west. the morning sun casts its rays on the imposing expansive, the dusty lute desert. the persian word lute refers to bare land, land without water and vegetation. the loose desert is among the hottest places on earth. the surface of its sand has been known to reach a temperature of 70 degrees celsius, wendy erosion. the end of the rare winter rains have car for the eclipse and bed rock into spectacular land forms called the yard dogs. they are so large that they are even visible from outer space. the landscape is almost a barren of life, and there is no water as far as the i can see the

but in going about further to the north. it's a different story. the green fields and fruit orchards are a clear sign that there is water here. its presence is a testament to the ingenuity and skill that dates back countless generations. the the 1st cannot were built some 2500 years ago. today these underground canals form a complex network that transports fresh water to the settlements farms and the gardens of this air at region. the underground aqua ducts tap into water from uncle stores at higher elevations and move it with the force of gravity to lower lying regions. the

protected channels minimize evaporation, allowing the water to flow into the chain of wells built along side. the network cannot have survived many natural disasters and wars over the centuries, but maintaining them is hard work to this day. workers descend underground to monitor and maintain that cannot safe guarding this precious resource. the enjoy, they're most of them use the you, my name is will test them is eat and dime a will they get in the can nonce of going about photo move on to the most important task is maintaining and repairing that cannot we keep them free of to free and make sure the rules that can flow freely. and we maintain that cannot by repairing any damage that autonomy to separate the sensitivity.

us vicky the conditions we work under a very difficult the other. it's a very with environment that is always the risk that part of the tunnel might collapse across. they can be gas explosions, etc. we could get electric shocks have logical or the one in the building, but as that are caught us. when we leave to work in the morning, we always make sure to say a proper good bye to our families, just in case we never see them again. the. so it'd be for the 0 point in case i mean, the guess on the moon, that was the children go to you shortly after tellos that you don't learn how to become a will digger in schooling so that it's something that gets passed down from our elders. from the years of experience as of other kinds of uh, you'll have to go to the bundle. assume that there was that successful a get over that was around. you went outside of the core of a when i was 12,

i still wanted accompanying my grandfather down in the well doing simple tasks. i used to carry his tools far because on 4 times a day on the monster of mycroft, without a stroke of water to them. uh on. i know every new can for any of the cannot 0 you the mutual mutual a my food has so that zoo this off the one i'm asking me and who was have all the thing and he has math, save us the new month. i know it would cannot means to keep digging. let's go to the canals bay the labor of our ancestors in the name. then while you pay, you'll pay the ranges that much. i started the 12500 years ago going about with suffering. the effects of a terrible drysdale. the people had only 2 choices that another state either had to

leave the land of one a little. they would have to figure out how to get a permanent supply of water the longer and that's when they started building that cannot city. because how about cannot, i've gone about build between 70500, b, c. e is one of the oldest and longest, cannot. the $427.00 wells collect water along the aqua docs, which is nearly 33 kilometers long. some of the wells are more than 300 meters deep . the soft about half the imagined digging and building these canals 2500 years ago

without molten tools and technology caught us. that was an incredible faith to our site with it. the in the mid 20th century, nearly 50000 cutoffs were still in use any wrong. there were nearly 360000 kilometers of underground channels, a distance almost as far as from the earth to the moon. the ancient persians who invented cannot wear the pioneers of irrigation, even today, many thousands of aqueducts supply water to arid regions. cutoffs can be found in many countries across the middle east, and the margaret, the

work and the cannot seize hard and draining. most people aren't interested in becoming well, the good news, the home. no, it's a real grind, but it's good satisfying work to earn a living by making sure that people have hot water that's worth its weight in gold . because that's the,

as we approach the border to turkmenistan, the fruit and vegetable gardens gradually give way to hills and valleys. mashhad is the most important city of the region and the holy city. for all of you, ron, the shiite muslims, mashhad as a place of pilgrimage. the city draws more than $20000000.00 people a year. the mom reza, shrine, and mazda liam is considered the holiest place in all of the ron. over the centuries, the city expanded around it. in addition to pilgrims,

mashhad always has attracted many crafts people, as well as she writes from afghanistan. today, it is the wrong 2nd largest city, the shrine that contains the mazda. liam is practically a city within a city. it also boasts one of the largest mosques in the country. the most sense or key is a volunteer who helps take care of the many visitors and pilgrims. his work is the embodiment of the as la make tradition of hospitality and solidarity the votes. and i tried to live my life in accordance with the teachings of the mom, raised the one said, do not choral and fall out with others, but encounter everyone with friendship. that demand nothing but do not be angry at the demands of others. everything you would wish for yourself wished for others as well. as is true for most muslims from mos in turkey. the mom's grave is a place of devotion. a mom res,

uh is the 8 the mom of she is long and the only one to be buried in the wrong, the amount of productions that my parents moved us here when i was a child, a 0 even then i wanted to volunteer at the a mom raises tried the for them by the president because out of the holland tiers, the most important task is to assist the pilgrims and help them find their way. you can ask you to think about very familiar has this give me a mom, raised the shrine, is a religious and spiritual place and moment as all the thought. also our main concern is to make sure that pilgrims can visit here safely and without interfering law. he

danger. the sign is open to everyone. april of every minority and religion on the catholics, muslims, christians, sunni's, deep of all faiths are permitted to visit this place. and on the, on this, on the, when the call to evening prayers delivered, the most important prayer of the day, the residence of my shot leave work and join the pilgrims. but the shrine is much more than a place of prayer. it is a place of welcome relaxation, exchange, and solidarity. all these values are embodied by the foundation that manages the

shrine, which it has done for 1200 years the in the northeast of the country, the climate is milder. almost mediterranean. there are villages, fields and meadows at the foot of the mountains. the orchards and fields of brain and sugar beets blanket the slopes and another treasure lies hidden in the landscape. here. it's also found in the village of my don, a jim stone that is beloved around the world, and that has been mined for more than 7000 years. the for generations,

on about 160 people look here in total, the should be no story as i used to be a farmer. but i always pick some small pieces of turquoise here and there for the new much for the record has been i was given the opportunity to become a shareholder in the miners and i took it and then more than what we're going to be not on route since then, the mind has been run by the workers and that's helped improve our living conditions here financially, because for the by the engineers or the full, the people of the village found work in the mines. they will unemployed today. yeah, situation is best. so the restore the for linux, additional or the, the, when i'm on physical for the people who left the shod to iran. neesha
