Thanks Iranian.com for putting this on this website as it got many views. By the way, I am the person that uploaded this to YouTube. 

I'm going to put more British Museum videos on YouTube soon.

This regime has always been against Takhti since he belonged to

by obama on

the National Front! The proof? The last time (10 years ago) when I visited his grave, it was so neglected that nobody knew hwere it was. Broken glasses, dirty inside and so on. It really was shameful! Takhti would definitely would fight against this regime (of course if wouldn't have been killed by them first).

Don't forget Takhti was first an Iranian, then a moslem!

Someone pointed out that Takhti is being used as a propaganda piece for Shiism and martydom.My reaction was that Takhti has not changed; it is us who have changed.

I am a humanist rather than a Muslim today after what I have gone through, but I should not lose my sense of history, and Takhti's story is a part of the jigsaw of modern Iranian History and urban legends.
