SAEDNEWS: Ancient Pottery Bowl in Shush Museum Sparks Buzz for Bearing a Remarkable BMW Logo Lookalike
According to the History and Culture Desk of Saed News, a video from the Shush Museum has recently been circulating online, capturing the attention of history enthusiasts and social media users alike. The clip showcases an ancient clay bowl adorned with patterns that bear an undeniable and astonishing resemblance to the iconic logo of the German automaker BMW.
A Hidden Secret in Khuzestan’s History
This pottery piece, originating from the early civilizations of the Khuzestan region (Shush), features remarkably precise geometric designs. At the center of the bowl lies a circle divided into four sections with contrasting colors—exactly the form we recognize today as the symbol of one of the world’s automotive giants.
Coincidence or inspiration? While BMW’s logo is officially described as representing a spinning airplane propeller (or the colors of Bavaria’s flag), seeing this modern graphic form on a clay artifact created thousands of years ago by skilled Iranian hands is truly astonishing.
The video reinforces the idea that graphic design and minimalism have deep roots in ancient Iranian art, and that artists of that era had already achieved a sophisticated understanding of form and symmetry long before modernity. Many viewers joked—and some seriously remarked—that “the whole world is taking inspiration from ancient Iran.”
Where Is the Shush Museum?
The Shush Museum is one of Iran’s most important cultural institutions, housing extraordinary artifacts from the Elamite, Achaemenid, and prehistoric periods. This bowl is just one of thousands of masterpieces that showcase the intelligence and artistry of our ancestors to the world.
