... that according to legend, Malan Bridge(pictured) was built by two mythical princesses that mixed egg shells with clay to create a bridge stronger than steel? Source: "According to the legend reported by the contemporary historian Abui Sacid, the bridge was built in A.D. 900 by the mythical princess Bibi Nilr with a mortar made out of eggs" JSTOR journalBBC Persian "A popular legend attributes the bridge to Bibi Nur and her sister Bibi Hur who, it is said, devoted much time, effort and money in collecting egg shells to mix with the clay from which the bridge was built."

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and sourced. Assuming good faith on Persian and paywalled sources. No copyvio detected and qpq not needed. Photo meets all requirements (free, clear, in article). I'm not so sure about ALT1 because it's a ship of Theseus kinda deal where a Malan Bridge was built there in Medieval times, but it's been rebuilt more than once since then. Technically true that Malan Bridge is that old, but I think ALT0 is less controversial. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
