Headline from the 1920s that reads "Seek Treasure in Pyramid 5,000 Yrs. Old," datelined from Cairo, Egypt, June 4 – I forgot to note the year, probably 1923 – "An Egyptian archaeologist belived today that he may find the crown jewels of ancient Egypt when he opens the newly-found tomb of a Pharoah who has been dead about 5,000 years."

"At the center of #Hamadan, #Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, stands the holiest site for #Jews in Iran: a small brick mausoleum traditionally believed to hold the #tombs of #Esther and #Mordechai.

For at least the past 15 years, the #tomb has become a flashpoint for protest reacting to #Iranian regime–propagated narratives that frame the #Book of Esther not as a tale of #Jewish survival, but as a genocide of 75,000 #Iranians perpetrated by the Jews. Each year on #Purim, #protesters gather outside the mausoleum. At times, they have thrown #Molotovcocktails at the building or burned #Israeli flags.

Iranian Jewish leaders have responded with carefully worded appeals to the Interior Ministry, emphasizing their loyalty to the state and asking that protests not be held at the sacred site."
