^^I know, it is kind of sad.
I don't remember exactly what year it is in Iran, I think their calendar starts after the prophet Mohammed...anyways, when I used to work at a Persian rug store, a lot of the really fine, expensive as fuck pieces were made by famous rug makers and they would sign their names at the bottom along with the date. So people would be like, "wow, this rug was made in 1420?" or some shit like that, and I would say yeah because technically I wasn't leing. haha, now that's $15,000 please!
