Yesterday I was watching a documental film about the highest dam in the world for the longest time, 750 years, which this great architecture work was done by ancient Iranians in Tabas many years ago and named Kurit.
Kurit is really special thing done by Iranian years ago which is admired even now after the advent of new technologies. It has some unique specifications which you can't see them regularly. In my opinion the most interesting fact about it is the good material used in it's fundamental. You know there was a great earthquake in Tabas; magnitude about 7.8; but no damage to the dam and it's nice to know this tallest dam has the thickest crest among the world's dams.
Nowadays lots of dams are built all over the world and most of the best ones are in USA, but none of them have the history of 750 years of being the tallest dam and none of them have passed the test of this measure earthquake.
We, Iranian, can be honor of our precious history.
