The land of Persia, which has been named in international official documents (Iran) since 1935, is an ancient historical land. In addition to the 80,000-year-old settlements that can prove the antiquity of human life in this land, archaeological excavations at places such as the Burnt City near Zabul, Tepe Sialk near Kashan and Choghazenbil ziggurat in Khuzestan (pic-1) show that the ancestors Iranians have established a glorious civilization in this land for more than 10,000 years. Nearly three thousand years ago, Iran (Persia) witnessed the formation of great empires such as the Achaemenid Empire which they have had great achievements in architecture, governance, mathematics, post and human rights. (pic-2: Persepolis, one of the capital of Persian empire in the Achaemenid era) This land is the birthplace of Zarathustra, a prophet who calls himself a teacher of peace and friendship and has called humanity to good thought, good speech and good deeds.
