    Takhté Soleymān

    Historical Site of Mirhadi Hoseini http://m-hosseini.ir ……………………………………………………………………………………… Takhté Soleymân Azar Goshnasp Fire-Temple Complex By Professor Dietrich Huff Takht-e Soleymân is an outstanding archeological site with substantial Sasanian and Il-khanid ruins in Azarbaijan province, between Bijâr and Šâhin-dež, about 30 km north-northeast of Takâb, with about 2, 200 m altitude, surrounded by mountain chains of more than 3000 m altitude. The place was obviously chosen for its natural peculiarity; an outcrop of limestone, about 60 m above the valley, built up by the sediments of the overflowing calcinating water of a thermal spring-lake (21° C) with about 80 m diameter and more than 60 m depth on the top of the hill (Damm). The place is mentioned in most of the medieval Oriental chronicles (e.g., Ebn Khordâdbeh, pp. 19, 119 ff.; Tabari, p. 866; Nöldeke, p. 100, n. 1; Bel'ami, p. 942, tr., II, p. 292; Ebn al-Faqih, pp. 246, 286; Mas'udi, ed.

It was erroneously taken for a second Ecbatana (q.v.) by Henry Rawlinson, and defective Byzantine sources caused it to be confused with the great Atropatenian city of Ganzak (q.v.) and other places (Minorsky).

  • Understanding Persians from “Ancient Persian Empire” to “Modern Iran”

    Understanding Persians from “Ancient Persian Empire” to “Modern Iran”

    Understanding Persians From “Ancient Persian Empire” to “Modern Iran” From “Ancient Persian Empire” …… Persians (present day Iranians) are descendents of a long and glorious empire founded 2,500 years ago by Cyrus the Great and brilliantly governed by his successors Cambyses, Darius, Xerxes, Artaxerxes, and others. For more than 200 years, this ancient Persian Empire stretched across vast areas, carrying for the most part, a peaceful rule and developing the highest levels of civilization known at the time. The rule by King Cyrus began with the overthrow of the ruling Median (Kurdish) King Astyages in 549 BCE. After capturing the capital city of Hamadan, Cyrus moved south, and with a brilliant military maneuver, captured the seat of the Babylonian Empire in 539, thus establishing history’s then largest empire. Rather than destroying the civilizations of their captives, Cyrus and his successors came to embrace them, thus allowing them to draw from the learning of others. Another of the many remarkable decisions of Cyrus the Great was allowing the Jewish captives of the Babylonians to return to their homeland in Jerusalem. Zoroastrianism was the religion of this long Persian rule as it had been under the Medes. Many Jews, who had been brought to Babylon from Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar, chose to remain in Persia rather than return to Jerusalem, and some came to hold high positions within the empire. Several Jewish writers left us a legacy of the times of this great Persian Empire as recorded in the Biblical books of Esther, Daniel, Joel, Ezekiel, Nehemiah, and Ezra. Cyrus’ son and successor, Cambyses (530-522 BCE) is mainly remembered for his conquest of Egypt in 525.
