    Life Science Journal 2013;10(7s) http://www.lifesciencesite.com A Study on Buddhism in the Parthian Era in Iran Dr Mehrnaz Behroozy1, Khadijeh Naghipourfar 2 1. Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 2. Graduated in pre Islamic Historical Era of Iran, Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Abstract: Religion among Iranians, like other nations, has always been very important. Religious tolerance in Achaemenid Empire continued in Parthian Era as well. This religious openness among public lasts in Seleucid Empire and after them, in Parthian era, and let the other religions to enter to Iran. Of course it shall be considered that after Seleucid’s attack to Iran, the Iranian’s lost their self-esteem, therefore their belief to religion became poor and acceptance of foreign religions was common in this era. One of these foreign religions was Buddhism. Buddhism formed in east and northeast of Iran. Its missionaries tried to extend their influence inside Iran and find some followers among Iranians. This is a library study to investigate Iranians approach toward Buddhism in Parthian Era, the followers of this religion, and the areas affected by this religion in the Parthian Era. This investigation is performed using different reference texts, historical resources and the literatures regarding Buddhism in Iran in Parthian Era. This is worth to mention that one can conclude that due to the religious tolerance in Parthian Era, a lot of new religions emerged in this era and Buddhism is one of them. The main problem of the author is the lack of references for the chosen subject and there is no direct reference about Buddhism history in the Parthian Era.

  • New Data on the Ancient Settlement of Ak-Beshim (Chu River Valley, Northern Kyrgyzstan)
    New data on the ancient settlement of Ak-Beshim (Chu River Valley, Northern Kyrgyzstan) Bakyt Amanbaeva Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyz Republic Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic KG Abstract According to the archaeological data, a series of ancient settlement appeared on the territory of the Chu River Valley (Dzhety-Suu, Semirechie) in VI-VIII centuries. Some of them were composed of the citadel and shakhristan and transformed later (IX-XI centuries) into the territories surrounded with one-two rings of so-called “long walls” with considerable size in the perimeter. Of these cities was Suyab, which ruins correspond to the ancient settlement of Ak-Bashim known as a capital of three Turkic Khaganates in VI-X centuries: Western Turkic, Türgesh and Karluk. Scientific studies were implemented by Kyrgyz (National Academy of Sciences) and Janapese (National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo and Teikyo University since 2016) archaeologists. Excavation site No 15 put in place on the territory of shakhristan No 2 revealed the concentration of grey-clay tile, which corresponds to the remains of the collapsed wall of the building. Probably, the revealed construction may the component of the garden-park ensemble of the Tang Dynasty Period. Analysis of the aerial photo of 1967 and further geophysical studies of the territory of the “second” Buddhist temple have shown that it was a part of the larger complex with the walls of 140-150 m in length. As the result of the excavation site No 18 the revealed temple was occupying only its south-western corner, while another construction the role of which has to be identified during the further archaeological studies, was situated nearby.
