Satements of authenticity and/or integrity

As the city was far away from new urban centers, the authenticity and integrity of the works over there have been nicely kept.

Comparison with other similar properties

Some of the works of Zozan e.g. the Chief Mosque can be compared with some early-Islamic works like Mosque of Gonbad in Bacteria ad or two-balconied mosque in Khorasan and some other works like ghanats can be compared with ghanat of Bam. Its irrigation systems in the form of dams, in the present scale are unique. If Khaegard and Gonabad are regarded in the same file, a unique school and a great mosque will be added either.
