The road leading to this secret place, is nearly visible anymore. After following the jungle-like pathway, we find the place where we were looking for. A tiny home, yet exquisitely decorated with many Eastern influences. Where the family has gone, remains unknown to us. They could have passed away, or are currently spending their lifes in another residency abroad. This place was nearly frozen in time, with even real money from the last residents left behind. Explore together with us, to find out what else we will find...

Maybe show this video to a local museum and see if they can save these pieces. This is part of history and should be saved.

One of the family pictures in ground level belongs to the Iran's last Queen , FARAH PAHLAVI ) and her children , after revolution in 1979 they ran from Iran to Egypt, France, US . Most of SHAH relatives and hi very close affilates also ran to France . The Queen herself had been living and studying before marrying SHAH. I suspected this little mansion was one of his follower. Persians love and adore rugs especially hand made ones. They cover floors with thicker one and the walls with thinner ones as a decoration. Thank you guys for the effort you make for the beautiful videoes. Liked and subscribed already. 👏🙌🙏🇮🇷🇨🇦

Gentlemen, I am truly grateful to you for letting us “tag-along” with you during your incredible investigations. From the beginning of this, I knew you would have to work hard 😓 just to lay eyes on the place. Your channel is my very favorite, because you both conduct yourselves with dignity and decorum. You’re always recognizant of the lives that these houses represent. I truly hope that both of you are in college...You two will continue to contribute so very much to this world. 🗺 All my best.

I love how respectful you are of the homes you visit, and I'm grateful for the glimpses you give us of the lives of the people who who once lived there. BTW: People used to hang tapestries on the walls to cover the bare brickwork and even to keep out draughts.

Hello Maureno and Remon, Awesome to see both of you in a video again... What an amazing explore you have shown us, very unique home and furnishings. The past occupants definitely stayed with the same theme for decorating it, such beautiful ornate antique furniture, worth a small fortune I would imagine... did 'work' in such small rooms, but deserves to be saved In a much larger space. Again, awesome job and can't wait to see you both exploring together in the future!! Stay safe and happy in your travels!!

Young gents, you have class, integrity and finess. Most of all respectfully treating peoples belongings. Those are peoples lives left behind. So many questions. Some of them had to run for a safer life & still among the living. I wonder that some of them watching your videos & still alive? Quiet possible. They're very happy the way you treat the once their loved homes. Also like the calm background musics. Music brings the emotions out to feel the energy. Yiu can feel the powerful energy in that place. Very rare & unusual finding. This I thought was 🇮🇷Iranian or Marokkoien, Iraqi person's house. We wish them well if they're alive today. See you again soon. Great videos. Thank you. 👌

It's really hard to put any kind of style to the house, in some parts Indian and others French.

The family in the photo was actually the wife and children of the shah of Iran. They were the royal family of Iran. The owners of that property we’re probably Iranian and that was a tribute to the royal family. I guarantee you those medieval tapestries and Persian carpets are worth some money. Not to mention all that furniture.

It is DEFINITELY the former "Shah of Iran" whom died of cancer in exhile. His wife Farrah endured 2 suicides by her children. First the daughter, Leila Pahlavi, in 2001, then her son Alireza Pahlavi in 2011. Very tragic family, and why so much is left behind. The mother Farrah, in the dyed red hair, is still in exile in Paris, France.
