Most probably, the producers of the show mistook the Persian term "Kavir" for the Arabic word "Kabeer" which does indeed mean big. Could this be a documentary on Dasht-e Kavir? It amazes me that with the huge number of Iranians in the United States, especially in California, the producers of the episode could not have found someone who speaks Persian, or someone who has some idea about the norms of Iranian society, government, people, or their language. www.iranian.com /Features/Jan99/JAG   (671 words)

Noah's Ark Search - Albert Groebli Iranian Premise As the surrounding mountain ranges of the Dasht-e Kavir were lifted up after the 210th day of the flood, the sediment flow from the runoff of those mountains filled in the lower regions of the Dasht-e Kavir almost covering the Bilblical Ararat.

An ancient citadel in ruins - [Sunday Herald] The mud-brick citadel, Arg-e Bam, towering above the vast Dasht’e Kavir desert, was an island of splendour in the harsh landscape, containing 38 towers and elaborate fortifications and stretching over four square miles towards the new urban sprawl of modern Bam.

Surrounded by the ancient city wall, thousands of abandoned mosques, gateways and houses made up a beautiful historical site that has now been reduced to piles of rubble by the force of the quake, measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. www.sundayherald.com /38966   (779 words)
