  • The Mongols in Iran
    chapter 10 THE MONGOLS IN IRAN george e. lane Iran was dramatically brought into the Mongol sphere of infl uence toward the end of the second decade of the thirteenth century. As well as the initial traumatic mili- tary incursions, Iran also experienced the start of prolonged martial rule, followed later by the domination and rule of the Mongol Ilkhans. However, what began as a brutal and vindictive invasion and occupation developed into a benign and cultur- ally and economically fl ourishing period of unity and strength. The Mongol period in Iranian history provokes controversy and debate to this day. From the horrors of the initial bloody irruptions, when the fi rst Mongol-led armies rampaged across northern Iran, to the glory days of the Ilkhanate-Yuan axis, when the Mongol- dominated Persian and Chinese courts dazzled the world, the Mongol infl uence on Iran of this turbulent period was profound. The Mongols not only affected Iran and southwestern Asia but they also had a devastating effect on eastern Asia, Europe, and even North Africa. In many parts of the world, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas in particular, the Mongols’ name has since become synonymous with murder, massacre, and marauding may- hem. They became known as Tatars or Tartars in Europe and Western Asia for two reasons. Firstly, until Genghis Khan destroyed their dominance, the Tatars were the largest and most powerful of the Turco-Mongol tribes. And secondly, in Latin Tartarus meant hell and these tribes were believed to have issued from the depths of Hades. Their advent has been portrayed as a bloody “bolt from the blue” that left a trail of destruction, death, and horrifi ed grief in its wake.

  • Some Account of the Arabic Work Entitled " Nihd- Yatu'l-Irab Fi Akhbdri'l-Furs Iva'l-'Arab," Particularly of That Part Which Treats of the Persian Kings
    195 ART. X.—Some Account of the Arabic Work entitled " Nihd- yatu'l-irab fi akhbdri'l-Furs iva'l-'Arab," particularly of that part which treats of the Persian Kings. By EDWARD Gr. BROWNE, M.A., M.R.A.S. To the curious book of which the full title stands at the head of this article, I have already alluded in my communi- cation to the Journal of January, 1899, on The Sources of Dawlatshdh, pp. 51-53. I now propose to give such account of its contents as is possible within the limits here prescribed. For this purpose I have made use of the Cambridge Codex (belonging to the Burckhardt Collection) marked QQ. 225. Though the book is a rare one, at least three other manuscripts are known — two in the British Museum (see the old Arabic Catalogue, pp. 418 and 581)l and one (marked A. 1741) at Gotha. The last was used by Professor Noldeke, in his reference to the Nihayat, at pp. 475-476 of his excellent Geschichte . der Sasaniden. He describes it as "in the main a quite arbitrary recension of Dinawari, though here [namely, in the Romance of Bahrain Chubin] it had before it an essentially fuller text than this," and briefly characterizes it as " das seltsame, ziemlich schwindelhafte Werk." When I first lighted on the book at Cambridge, not being aware of the existence of other copies, or of Noldeke's unfavourable judgment as to its value, I was elated beyond measure, believing that I had at last found the substance of that 1 These MSS., marked Add.

  • Ancient Coins of the Silk Road
    Ancient Coins of the Silk Road A 20 Silver Coin Set The Silk Road is not a single road, but rather a network of routes extending from the Far East to Europe, including such storied cities as Alexandria, Tyre, Samarkand, Herat, and Xanadu. One cannot overstate the impact of the Silk Road on the cultural exchange between East and West. Trade along these routes—essentially a highway between two of the world’s largest empires (China and Rome) running through a third (Persia)—contributed to the cultural development of China, India, Persia, Arabia, north Africa, and all of Europe. The Silk Road became more than crude caravan tracks in the second century BCE, when Zhang Qian, an emissary of the Han Dynasty, made the trek across the deserts of western China and through the Hindu Kush mountains to what is today Afghanistan. Learning of new lands to the west, he convinced Emperor Wu to expand Chinese trade routes. By the time Marco Polo set upon his famous journey to Asia in 1271, the Silk Road was at its peak. Only when Vasco de Gama became the first explorer to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in the late fifteenth century did the Silk Road’s influence begin to wane, as Europeans traders took to the quicker, less dangerous sea route to India. The name “Silk Road,” coined by the German academic Ferdinand von Richthofen a century and a half ago, is somewhat inaccurate. Silk was not a major commodity until it became fashionable in Rome, where it was worth its weight in gold (The Roman Senate, in fact, tried to ban the material, on the grounds that its purchase was depleting the imperial gold reserves); by then, the Silk Road had been operating for centuries.

Their controlled geographical territory started in three area of plain, forest and mountain in Tamisheh which was located in the Eastern borderline of Tabaristan and ended to Chaloos in the West of this state.
