What's he doing over there?

Hercules statue, approximately 150 BC, carved on the famous Beesetoon
mountain, in a town with the same name, which is a few kilometers outside Kermanshah,
on the main road to Hamedan. The statue's head has been decapitated and stolen, on
a number of occasions, to be sold overseas. Each time it has been recovered by the
antiquities authorities. Across the road from the hapless Hercules, and to its right
side, there are sprawling bases of Revolutionary Guard and Basij. -- ShahriarZangeneh
