TO GO WITH AFP STORY OF CYRIL JULIEN An Iranian female basketball players trains in the Fajr stadium in the city of Bam following an earthquake 10 years ago that destroyed the historical citadel, a pre-Islamic desert structure that was the largest adobe monument in the world made of non-baked clay bricks, a thousand kilometres (600 miles) southeast of Tehran, on December 19, 2013. Bam was devastated on December 26, 2003, by an earthquake of a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale killing some 26,000-32,000 people. Experts who are painstakingly rebuilding the Bam citadel say Iran's architectural masterpiece will never return to its past glory but are hopeful they will restore some of it.
