A few months ago (in Aban 1386/ October 2007) some precious monuments from Achaemnid era were found in Kharg/ Khark Island in the Persian Gulf and Dr. Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi published a report on the preliminary reading of an inscription in Old Persian found there and also a stone game board (backgammon) found on the Island.

Inscription: Kharg, Newly Discovered Achaemenid Inscription
Game board: Discovery of 3000-Years old Board-Games and a Compass-Rose in Kharg Island.

Today (Fri 30/May/2008 = 10/Khordad/1387) he circulated an email and published on his website Persian Studies that the inscription was destroyed and reduced into bits using hammer and sledgehammer.
