Persepolis threatened by drought, land subsidence

Persepolis now faces new threat: The region with land subsidence has now moved to a distance of 600 meters from the major site and has raised concerns over the millennial monument. In 2008, it was discovered that Persepolis was subject to land subsidence. The solution, however, was ill-devised and authorities filled the cracks by soils transported from elsewhere via trucks, mehrnews.com reported.
