According to these data, the archaeological site…

When we think of Persians, we often think of what present day Persians look like when we considered how they looked in the past (similar to Elamites). Here's what they look like today: Much like history, the entire area known as the "Middle East" has been whitewashed and appropriated. Persia is no exception.
