Iranian peoples first appear in Assyrian records in the 9th century BCE. In Classical Antiquity they were found primarily in Scythia and Persia (Eastern Europe, Central and Western Asia). They divided into "Western" and "Eastern" branches from an early period, roughly corresponding to the territories of Persia and Scythia, respectively.
During Late Antiquity, the Iranian populations of Scythia in

Iranian peoples first appear in Assyrian records in the 9th century BCE. In Classical Antiquity they were found primarily in Scythia and Persia (Eastern Europe, Central and Western Asia). They divided into "Western" and "Eastern" branches from an early period, roughly corresponding to the territories of Persia and Scythia, respectively.
During Late Antiquity, the Iranian populations of Scythia in the Eurasian Steppe were marginalized and assimilated by Turkic and Slavic migrations. The Scythian language was mostly extinct by the 10th century, with the exception of Ossetic spoken in the northern Caucasus. Various Persian empires flourished throughout Antiquity, and fell to the Islamic conquest in the 7th century.
Origins
The Iranian languages form a sub-branch of the Indo-Iranian sub-family, which is a branch of the family of Indo-European languages. Having descended from the Proto-Indo-Iranians, the Proto-Iranians separated from the Indo-Aryans early in the 2nd millennium BCE. The Proto-Iranians are traced to the Bactria--Margiana Archaeological Complex, a Bronze Age culture of Central Asia. The area between northern Afghanistan and the Aral Sea is hypothesized to have been the region in which the Proto-Iranians first emerged, following the separation of Indo-Aryan tribes.
By the 1st millennium BCE, Medes, Persians, Bactrians and Parthians populated the Iranian plateau, while others such as the Scythians, Sarmatians, Cimmerians and Alans populated the steppes north of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The Saka tribes remained mainly in the south-east, eventually spreading as far east as Xinjiang.
The division of Proto-Iranian into an "Eastern" and a "Western" group is attested in the form of Avestan and Old Persian, the two oldest known Iranian languages.

Parthia
Parthia is a historical region located in the modern south-western Turkmenistan and north-eastern Iran, best known for having been the political and cultural base of the Arsacid dynasty, rulers of the Parthian Empire. The name "Parthia" is a continuation from Latin Parthia, from Old Persian Parthava, which was the Parthian language self-designator signifying "of the Parthians" who were an Iranian people. In context to its Hellenistic period Parthia also appears as Parthyaea.

Scythians
The Scythians were Iranic equestrian tribes who were mentioned as inhabiting large areas in the central Eurasian steppes starting with the 7th century BC up until the 4th century AD. Their territories during the Iron Age were known to classical Greek sources as "Scythia". Their historical appearance coincided with the rise of equestrian semi-nomadism from the Carpathian Mountains of Europe to Mongolia in the Far East during the 1st millennium BC. The "classical Scythians" known to ancient Greek historians were located in the northern Black Sea and fore-Caucasus region. However, other Scythian groups encountered in Near Eastern and Achaemenid sources existed in Central Asia. Moreover, the term "Scythian" is also used by modern scholars in an archaeological context, i.e. any region perceived to display attributes of the "Scytho-Siberian" culture.

Medes
The Medes were an ancient Iranian people who lived in an area known as Media (northern Iran) and who spoke a northwestern Iranian language referred to as the Median language. Their arrival to the region is associated with the first wave of Iranian tribes in the late 2nd millennium BCE (the Bronze Age collapse) through the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.
From the 10th to late 7th centuries BCE, the Iranian Medes and Persians fell under the domination of the Neo-Assyrian Empire based in Mesopotamia.
After the fall of the Assyrian Empire, between 616 BCE and 605 BCE, a unified Median state was formed, which, together with Babylonia, Lydia, and Egypt became one of the four major powers of the ancient Near East. An alliance with the Babylonians and the Scythians helped the Medes to capture Nineveh in 612 BCE which resulted in the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Medes were subsequently able to establish their Median kingdom (with Ecbatana as their royal centre) beyond their original homeland (central-western Iran) and had eventually a territory stretching roughly from northeastern Iran to the Halys River in Anatolia. The Median kingdom was conquered in 550 BCE by Cyrus the Great, who established the next Iranian dynasty—the Persian Achaemenid Empire.
A few archaeological sites (discovered in the "Median triangle" in western Iran) and textual sources (from contemporary Assyrians and also Greeks in later centuries) provide a brief documentation of the history and culture of the Median state. These architectural sources, religious temples, and literary references show the importance of Median lasting contributions (such as the Safavid-Achaemenid-Median link of the tradition of "columned audience halls") to the Iranian culture. A number of words from the Median language are still in use, and there are languages being geographically and comparatively traced to the northwestern Iranian language of Median. The Medes had an Ancient Iranian Religion (a form of pre-Zoroastrian Mazdaism or Mithra worshipping) with a priesthood named as "Magi". Later and during the reigns of the last Median kings, the reforms of Zarathustra spread in western Iran.
Besides Ecbatana (modern Hamedan), the other cities existing in Media were Laodicea (modern Nahavand) and the mound that was the largest city of the Medes, Rhages (also called Rey), on the outskirts of Shahr Rey, south of Tehran. The fourth city of Media was Apamea, near Ecbatana, whose precise location is unknown. In later periods, Medes and especially Mede soldiers are identified and portrayed prominently in ancient Persian archaeological sites such as Persepolis, where they are shown to have a major role and presence in the military of the Persian Empire's Achaemenid dynasty.
According to the Histories of Herodotus, there were six Median tribes:
Thus Deioces collected the Medes into a nation, and ruled over them alone. Now these are the tribes of which they consist: the Busae, the Paretaceni, the Struchates, the Arizanti, the Budii, and the Magi.
The six Median tribes resided in Media proper, the triangle between Ecbatana, Rhagae and Aspadana, in today's central Iran, the area between Tehran, Isfahan and Hamadan. Of the Median tribes, the Magi resided in Rhaga, modern Tehran. It was a sort of sacred caste, which ministered to the spiritual needs of the Medes. The Paretaceni tribe resided in and around Aspadana, modern Isfahan, the Arizanti lived in and around Kashan and the Busae tribe lived in and around the future Median capital of Ecbatana, modern Hamadan.The Struchates and the Budii lived in villages in the Median triangle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persians
The origin of the ethnic Iranian peoples/Persian peoples are traced to the Ancient Iranian peoples, who were part of the ancient Indo-Iranians and themselves part of the greater Indo-European language family. The Ancient Iranian peoples emerged in parts of the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE. Important Iranian tribes such as Old Persians, Medes, Parthians, Bactrians, Scythians, and the Avesta people used the name Arya (Iranian), which was a collective definition, denoting peoples who were aware of belonging to a generally common ethnic stock, speaking very closely related languages, and mainly sharing a religious tradition that centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda.

Medes
The Medes were an ancient Iranian people who lived in an area known as Media (northern Iran) and who spoke a northwestern Iranian language referred to as the Median language. Their arrival to the region is associated with the first wave of Iranian tribes in the late 2nd millennium BCE (the Bronze Age collapse) through the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.
From the 10th to late 7th centuries BCE, the Iranian Medes and Persians fell under the domination of the Neo-Assyrian Empire based in Mesopotamia.
After the fall of the Assyrian Empire, between 616 BCE and 605 BCE, a unified Median state was formed, which, together with Babylonia, Lydia, and Egypt became one of the four major powers of the ancient Near East. An alliance with the Babylonians and the Scythians helped the Medes to capture Nineveh in 612 BCE which resulted in the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Medes were subsequently able to establish their Median kingdom (with Ecbatana as their royal centre) beyond their original homeland (central-western Iran) and had eventually a territory stretching roughly from northeastern Iran to the Halys River in Anatolia. The Median kingdom was conquered in 550 BCE by Cyrus the Great, who established the next Iranian dynasty—the Persian Achaemenid Empire.
A few archaeological sites (discovered in the "Median triangle" in western Iran) and textual sources (from contemporary Assyrians and also Greeks in later centuries) provide a brief documentation of the history and culture of the Median state. These architectural sources, religious temples, and literary references show the importance of Median lasting contributions (such as the Safavid-Achaemenid-Median link of the tradition of "columned audience halls") to the Iranian culture. A number of words from the Median language are still in use, and there are languages being geographically and comparatively traced to the northwestern Iranian language of Median. The Medes had an Ancient Iranian Religion (a form of pre-Zoroastrian Mazdaism or Mithra worshipping) with a priesthood named as "Magi". Later and during the reigns of the last Median kings, the reforms of Zarathustra spread in western Iran.
Besides Ecbatana (modern Hamedan), the other cities existing in Media were Laodicea (modern Nahavand) and the mound that was the largest city of the Medes, Rhages (also called Rey), on the outskirts of Shahr Rey, south of Tehran. The fourth city of Media was Apamea, near Ecbatana, whose precise location is unknown. In later periods, Medes and especially Mede soldiers are identified and portrayed prominently in ancient Persian archaeological sites such as Persepolis, where they are shown to have a major role and presence in the military of the Persian Empire's Achaemenid dynasty.
According to the Histories of Herodotus, there were six Median tribes:
Thus Deioces collected the Medes into a nation, and ruled over them alone. Now these are the tribes of which they consist: the Busae, the Paretaceni, the Struchates, the Arizanti, the Budii, and the Magi.
The six Median tribes resided in Media proper, the triangle between Ecbatana, Rhagae and Aspadana, in today's central Iran, the area between Tehran, Isfahan and Hamadan. Of the Median tribes, the Magi resided in Rhaga, modern Tehran. It was a sort of sacred caste, which ministered to the spiritual needs of the Medes. The Paretaceni tribe resided in and around Aspadana, modern Isfahan, the Arizanti lived in and around Kashan and the Busae tribe lived in and around the future Median capital of Ecbatana, modern Hamadan.The Struchates and the Budii lived in villages in the Median triangle.

Persians
The origin of the ethnic Iranian peoples/Persian peoples are traced to the Ancient Iranian peoples, who were part of the ancient Indo-Iranians and themselves part of the greater Indo-European language family. The Ancient Iranian peoples emerged in parts of the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE. Important Iranian tribes such as Old Persians, Medes, Parthians, Bactrians, Scythians, and the Avesta people used the name Arya (Iranian), which was a collective definition, denoting peoples who were aware of belonging to a generally common ethnic stock, speaking very closely related languages, and mainly sharing a religious tradition that centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda.

Mongoloid Caucasoids of Mesolithic - Tatiana Chikisheva, 2010:
As soon as you touch physical anthropology, odontology, genetics, osteology, lactose tolerance, blood groups, and other mundane details, traits intolerable for patriots of Indo-Iranism (or Arianism) come to light, and there are no intelligible answers from the Arian department, whose only arguments are name-calling and accusations in Pan-Turkism. Worse yet, self-aggrandizing theory was mostly forged by intellectually masculine “Arian” males, who dreamt up noble riders as their ancestors, but not in a small degree is debunked by contemned females unobtrusively doing their daily work on mundane details, the ickiest offence of which is to find that noble Arian riders had flattish faces, squintish eyes, and Mongoloid admixture.

Portsmouth University:
An Iranian scientist has done a study on the historical Aryan emigration to Iran. The theory says that about 4000 years ago the Aryan tribes emigrated to Iran from central Asia and the Caucasus. By this theory the Iranians (Iran) should genetically be ralated to the Aryan peoples.
But a research on over 2600 Iranian DNA-sequences (y-dna & mt-dna) shows something else. Dr. Bonab Ashrafian says:
"... We have done studies on 26 different Iranian groups. Although we speak an Indo-European language we are not genetically very close to Indo-European peoples. The Aryan genetic markers that exist in central Asia and the Caucasus are found very few in the Iranian Plateau. This shows that if there is any Aryan genetic markers in the Iranian DNA, it probably came from the Aryan tribes that entered Iran."
Dr. Ashrafian has also studied on the Ancient Iranian bones. The study on the ancient bones found in Jiroft and Masjid Kabood shows they are the ancestors of todays Iranians. If these studies show Iranians are not Aryans, then where did they come from? Has the Arabian invasion of Iran (1400 years ago) effected the Iranian DNA?
Dr. Ashrafian continues as follows:
"Our research shows that all Iranian tribes are genetically related to the people who lived in south-west of Iran since 10.000 years. The Arabian invasion has effected south-west of Iran and Bushehr, but in very very few amounts."
__
The two major Eurasian haplogroups, R1a and R1b, diverged (or rather, formed and diverged) 20-16 thousand years ago, evolved linguistically from the common Nostratic languages, respectively into the Pra-Aryan (later called "Proto-Indo-European") and the Proto-Türkic, and then into Türkic.
And here the nature has played a cunning joke with the linguists. It seems that the two Caucasoid brotherly lines, R1a1 and R1b1, that came about 50-40 thousand years ago to the Eastern European Plain as a single branch of R (or, rather, as its upstream haplogroup P, or even NOP), and then went to the Southern Siberia at least 35,000 years ago ... One of them was a flexive Aryan language (R1a1 tribe), which later became to be called Proto-Indo-European, and the other was an agglutinative Proto-Türkic language (language of the R1b1 tribe). Both tribes gestated in the Southern Siberia.
The modern Uigurs, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, and some other peoples of Siberia, Central Asia, and the Urals, descend in part from the ancient R1b1 branch, and by now retain the same haplogroup for 16,000 years. These are the peoples of Siberia, Volga, Kama, Central Asia, the ancient Pit Grave or "Kurgan" archaeological cultures, and some Caucasian peoples that partially retained the haplogroup R1b1, which by the time of 6,000 years ago has become a haplogroup R1b1b2 (mutation M269 and L23 or L49), and the peoples of the Turkey and Middle East, whose population retained in their DNA many of the same haplogroup R1b1.
Approximately 3,600 years ago that haplogroup is noted in the British Isles. This is the movement of Beaker culture..., the peopling of the Europe by the carriers of the haplogroup R1b1b2, who were speaking the ancient Türkic languages, occurred between 4,500 and 3,600 years ago. They are the ancestors of the Proto-Celtics and Proto-Italics, and, probably, Proto-Picts and other "Proto"-R1b1b2 peoples in Europe.

Anatole Klyosov's genetic research has also shown that the R1a basehaplotype 13 25 15 10 12 12 10 13 11 31 -- 15 14 20 12 16 11 23 (with a common ancestor of 3400+/-505 ybp, the likely times for the Aryans coming to India) is reasonably close to the Bashkir Turkic and Kyrgyz Turkic base haplotypes (both R1a-L342.2).

In April 2011, we (Patty and Morty) received an e-mail from Javad Mehrbannia from Iran, who holds a B.A degree in archaeology, asking if we were interested to see a documentary he had put together about a potter woman in Iran and her ancient techniques. A few weeks later, we received his DVD documenting what we believe is the way pottery was done thousands of years ago. Javad excitedly asked in further emails if we had received the DVD, what we thought of it and if we were willing to show the content to our students. Javad, who is related to the woman potter, Nana Soghra, was concerned that this ancient pottery method would disappear without an opportunity for future generations to see it and after watching his DVD with fascination, we agreed with Javad. We edited and posted his documentary in the video below. We shortened it, his original is over an hour in length, so be aware that much of the potter's repetitive and grueling effort to make only a few pots is much more than what you see. Below are some of Javad's comments regarding the video (unedited).

Many Iranians celebrated an ancient Persian tradition on Tuesday night, with a fire jumping festival called the "Chaharshanbeh Suri", loosely translated as "Wednesday Feast".
Chaharshanbeh Suri is held annually on the eve of the last Wednesday of the Persian year, a few days prior to Iranian New Year or Nowruz.
In modern day Tehran, the festival brings neighbourhoods together - especially youths - to celebrate.
Participants jump over bonfires to "drive evil away", light fireworks and dance in small groups, a rare moment of intimacy between young men and women in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"I'm very happy, I hope I have a good year with my friends and family, who are now here," said one young woman from Tehran, who gave her name only as Maryam.
The fire festival dates back to the Zoroastrian era (beginning circa 6th century BC), when people regarded fire as the purifier of their souls.
The ceremony has changed over the centuries from jumping over burning bushes to igniting fireworks that are sometimes illegal and dangerous, leaving many casualties each year.
Even though the authorities in the Islamic Republic object to the fire festival by characterising it as an "un-Islamic" phenomenon, there were no fierce crackdowns on Tuesday in Tehran.
The Persian New Year begins on 21 March.

LEADIN:
A proud ship building tradition in Iran is under threat because of increasing costs and cheaper alternatives.
The hand built wooden vessels known as Lenj are still being built by a small Iranian community which is doing all it can to stay afloat.
STORYLINE:
On the azure waters of the Persian Gulf, this workshop on the northern coast of Qeshm Island, is keeping alive a three thousand year old ship building tradition.
The hand-built boats, known as Lenj, are still being pieced together here plank by plank, despite growing economic hurdles and competition from cheaper modern technology.
Lenjes made of fibreglass material are gradually replacing wooden ones.
For years, the boats have been widely used for trading, fishing and pearl-hunting along Iran's coastline in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
Younes Rahdari is the workshop owner here and says even expert hands need a long time to build the rare crafts.
"These are traditional vessels which are handmade, and have their own special experts who make them," he says.
"It takes time to build them and it takes about two years to complete them. We import most of the wood from Dubai and buy some special type of it from inside Iran. We have very skilled local experts."
The combination of skills and knowledge needed to build and sail these ships has been recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
UNESCO has registered the boat building traditions as 'intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent safeguarding.
The craftsmen traditionally use shark oil to seal up cracks in the outer wooden body of the Lenjes as a way to make it waterproof.
In recent years however, international sanctions against Iran weakened the country's currency, making it much more expensive to import the items needed to build the vessels.
The cost of imported wood and engines used in Lenjes has tripled, making it a luxury product, out of reach of many.
Now in many workshops, Lenjes made from fibreglass are replacing the traditional wooden ones. They are cheaper, but have a shorter lifespan.
Despite the latest competition, sailor Jamshid Gouran says the old boats still play an important economic role in the region.
"There are many many Lenjes operating in Iran," he says.
"It is very profitable and they are used for trading. Owners use them to imports goods from Dubai and bring them to Bandar Abbas."
The wooden Lenjes, which are meticulously hand-built, can have an operational life of up to 100 years.
But tradition doesn't come cheap.
The average cost of building a 650 ton Lenj with an imported engine is about 450 thousand dollars US -- 280 thousands dollars to make the body and 170 thousand dollars for the engine.
That means workers like Hadi Stak are increasingly rare.
"There are too many workshops making fibreglass boats here but this one only makes wooden Lenjes," he says.
"But everywhere else they are making the fibreglass type."
While business may be tough, for the lucky owners of finished vessels like these, it's still considered an honour and a privileged to sail them on these stunning waters.

''The aim of this ceremony is to drive away the evil and to save us from the devil in the upcoming year''
4. Various of people jumping over fire
5. Various of fireworks
6. Man holding the fireworks
STORYLINE:
Iranians on Tuesday jumped over raging bonfires that lit the night sky to celebrate Chahar-Shanbe Suri, an ancient festival marking the end of their Persian year.
Celebrations for Chahar-Shanbe Suri or Wednesday Feast begin on the last Tuesday evening of the year.
Iranians young and old lit bonfires, firecrackers and danced in the streets, hoping to put failures behind them and start the new year with prosperity.
The Iranian new year, or Nowruz, begins March 21 with the end of winter and arrival of spring.
The festival, one of the world's oldest traditions, is a symbolic opportunity to purify the soul for the new year.
It also symbolises revival and is marked by spring cleaning, buying new clothes and planting trees.
The festival has been frowned upon by strict clerics ruling Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution because they consider it a symbol of Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion Iranians adhered to before the advent of Islam, and say it contradicts Islamic traditions.
But a majority of Iranians, who are overwhelmingly Shiite Muslims, ignored these clerics and say they are proud of their rich culture and ancient traditions.
Cleric Mahmoud Eslami condemned Chahar-Shanbe Suri as "pagan culture" and contrary to Islam.
However, restrictions imposed by the ruling clerics on the danger-free festival in the past two decades has led to many children detonating hand-made dynamite sticks and powerful firecrackers, resulting in injuries and even deaths.
Despite police crackdown on dangerous explosives, the capital Tehran was being rocked by the explosions every minute after the sunset Tuesday.
One person was killed and at least 27 others injured, some of them seriously, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

Completely redesigned for today's generation of cooks and food enthusiasts, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies by Najmieh Batmanglij provides a treasure trove of recipes, along with an immersive cultural experience for those seeking to understand this ancient and timeless cuisine. This edition is a more user-friendly edition of the award-winning and critically acclaimed cookbook series which began in 1986. Food of Life provides 330 classical and regional Iranian recipes as well as an introduction to Persian art, history, and culture. The book's hundreds of full color photographs are intertwined with descriptions of ancient and modern Persian ceremonies, poetry, folktales, travelogue excerpts and anecdotes. The 2011 Edition of Food of Life is a labor of love. The book began in exile after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a love letter to Batmanglij's children. Today, as accomplished adults in their own fields, her two sons, Zal and Rostam, encouraged her to redesign the book for their generation. Food of Life propels Persian cooking into the 21st Century, even as it honors venerable traditions and centuries of artistic expression. It is the result of 30 years of collecting, testing and adapting authentic and traditional Persian recipes for the American kitchen. Most of its ingredients are readily available throughout the U.S. enabling anyone from a master chef to a novice to reproduce the refined tastes, textures, and beauty of Persian cuisine. Food-related pieces from such classics as the 10th century Book of Kings, and 1,001 Nights to the miniatures of Mir Mosavvar and Aq Mirak, from the poetry of Omar Khayyam and Sohrab Sepehri to the humor of Mulla Nasruddin are all included. Each recipe is presented with steps that are logical and easy to follow. Readers learn how to simply yet deliciously cook rice, the jewel of Persian cooking, which, when combined with a little meat, fowl, or fish, vegetables, fruits, and herbs, provides the perfect balanced diet. ABOUT THE BOOK'S TITLE Food of Life, the title of the book, comes from the Persian words nush-e jan, literally "food of life"--a traditional wish in Iran that a dish will be enjoyed. For the updated 1993 edition the title was changed to New Food of Life. Now, for the 25th anniversary edition the title returns to its original name, Food of Life. The full-color Food of Life 25th Anniversary Edition contains 50% more pages than its 2009 predecessor and special added features: *New Recipes adapted from Sixteenth-Century Persian cookbooks *Added vegetarian section for most recipes *Comprehensive dictionary of all ingredients *A glance at a few thousand years of the history of Persian Cooking *Master recipes with photos illustrating the steps. *Color photos of most recipes with tips on presentation *Updated section on Persian stores and Internet suppliers *Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperatures for all recipes *Choices for cooking recipes such as kuku in oven or on stovetop. *Encourages use of seasonal and local ingredients from farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) sources or one's own backyard

Food of Life provides 330 classical and regional Iranian recipes as well as an introduction to Persian art, history, and culture. The book's hundreds of full color photographs are intertwined with descriptions of ancient and modern Persian ceremonies, poetry, folktales, travelogue excerpts and anecdotes. The 2011 Edition of Food of Life is a labor of love. The book began in exile after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a love letter to Batmanglij's children. Today, as accomplished adults in their own fields, her two sons, Zal and Rostam, encouraged her to redesign the book for their generation. Food of Life propels Persian cooking into the 21st Century, even as it honors venerable traditions and centuries of artistic expression. It is the result of 30 years of collecting, testing and adapting authentic and traditional Persian recipes for the American kitchen. Most of its ingredients are readily available throughout the U.S. enabling anyone from a master chef to a novice to reproduce the refined tastes, textures, and beauty of Persian cuisine. Food-related pieces from such classics as the 10th century Book of Kings, and 1,001 Nights to the miniatures of Mir Mosavvar and Aq Mirak, from the poetry of Omar Khayyam and Sohrab Sepehri to the humor of Mulla Nasruddin are all included. Each recipe is presented with steps that are logical and easy to follow. Readers learn how to simply yet deliciously cook rice, the jewel of Persian cooking, which, when combined with a little meat, fowl, or fish, vegetables, fruits, and herbs, provides the perfect balanced diet. ABOUT THE BOOK'S TITLE Food of Life, the title of the book, comes from the Persian words nush-e jan, literally "food of life"--a traditional wish in Iran that a dish will be enjoyed. For the updated 1993 edition the title was changed to New Food of Life. Now, for the 25th anniversary edition the title returns to its original name, Food of Life. The full-color Food of Life 25th Anniversary Edition contains 50% more pages than its 2009 predecessor and special added features: *New Recipes adapted from Sixteenth-Century Persian cookbooks *Added vegetarian section for most recipes *Comprehensive dictionary of all ingredients *A glance at a few thousand years of the history of Persian Cooking *Master recipes with photos illustrating the steps. *Color photos of most recipes with tips on presentation *Updated section on Persian stores and Internet suppliers *Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperatures for all recipes *Choices for cooking recipes such as kuku in oven or on stovetop. *Encourages use of seasonal and local ingredients from farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) sources or one's own backyard

Pahlevani and zoorkhaneh rituals is the name inscribed by UNESCO for varzesh-e pahlavani (Persian: آیین پهلوانی و زورخانهای, "heroic sport")[1] or varzesh-e bastany (ورزش باستانی; varzeš-e bāstānī, "ancient sport"), a traditional Iranian system of athletics originally used to train warriors. It combines martial arts, calisthenics, strength training and music. Recognized byUNESCO as among the world's longest-running forms of such training, it fuses elements of pre-Islamic Persian culture(particularly Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Gnosticism) with the spirituality of Shia Islam and Sufism. Practiced in a domed structure called the zurkhaneh, training sessions consist mainly of ritual gymnastic movements and climax with the core of combat practice, a form of submission-grappling called koshti pahlevani.

Locals at the ancient Khalid Nabi site in Iran's Golestan Province reported on April 12, 2015 that an increasing number of the site's historic relics, which are famously shaped like male and female genitalia, have gone missing in recent months amid a surge in tourists in the area.
Newzulu contributor Ahmad, who lives in the vicinity of the site and took these photos on April 12 and April 13, 2015, says the relics are disappearing at an alarming rate in recent weeks.
Located on a green hill close to the country's northern borders, the site is believed to be an ancient cemetery dating back to 1400 years where at least 600 people were buried.
Some scientists say the relics could be in fact influenced by longstanding phallic religion practiced in India and Central Asia.

Mongoloid Caucasoids of Mesolithic - Tatiana Chikisheva, 2010:
As soon as you touch physical anthropology, odontology, genetics, osteology, lactose tolerance, blood groups, and other mundane details, traits intolerable for patriots of Indo-Iranism (or Arianism) come to light, and there are no intelligible answers from the Arian department, whose only arguments are name-calling and accusations in Pan-Turkism. Worse yet, self-aggrandizing theory was mostly forged by intellectually masculine “Arian” males, who dreamt up noble riders as their ancestors, but not in a small degree is debunked by contemned females unobtrusively doing their daily work on mundane details, the ickiest offence of which is to find that noble Arian riders had flattish faces, squintish eyes, and Mongoloid admixture.

Portsmouth University:
An Iranian scientist has done a study on the historical Aryan emigration to Iran. The theory says that about 4000 years ago the Aryan tribes emigrated to Iran from central Asia and the Caucasus. By this theory the Iranians (Iran) should genetically be ralated to the Aryan peoples.
But a research on over 2600 Iranian DNA-sequences (y-dna & mt-dna) shows something else. Dr. Bonab Ashrafian says:
''... We have done studies on 26 different Iranian groups. Although we speak an Indo-European language we are not genetically very close to Indo-European peoples. The Aryan genetic markers that exist in central Asia and the Caucasus are found very few in the Iranian Plateau. This shows that if there is any Aryan genetic markers in the Iranian DNA, it probably came from the Aryan tribes that entered Iran.''
Dr. Ashrafian has also studied on the Ancient Iranian bones. The study on the ancient bones found in Jiroft and Masjid Kabood shows they are the ancestors of todays Iranians. If these studies show Iranians are not Aryans, then where did they come from? Has the Arabian invasion of Iran (1400 years ago) effected the Iranian DNA?
Dr. Ashrafian continues as follows:
''Our research shows that all Iranian tribes are genetically related to the people who lived in south-west of Iran since 10.000 years. The Arabian invasion has effected south-west of Iran and Bushehr, but in very very few amounts.''

The two major Eurasian haplogroups, R1a and R1b, diverged (or rather, formed and diverged) 20-16 thousand years ago, evolved linguistically from the common Nostratic languages, respectively into the Pra-Aryan (later called ''Proto-Indo-European'') and the Proto-Türkic, and then into Türkic.
And here the nature has played a cunning joke with the linguists. It seems that the two Caucasoid brotherly lines, R1a1 and R1b1, that came about 50-40 thousand years ago to the Eastern European Plain as a single branch of R (or, rather, as its upstream haplogroup P, or even NOP), and then went to the Southern Siberia at least 35,000 years ago ...

September 4, 2014 (Persian calendar 1393/6/13)
An award-winning Iranian architect has designed and built a seven-story building with three revolving bedrooms in the capital, Tehran.
The house designed by contemporary Iranian architect Alireza Taghaboni عليرضا تقابني is located in upscale north Tehran and includes rotating levels.
The three revolving bedrooms of the house allow its residents to always enjoy the sun and the best views over the city.
In order to change the view from the windows and enjoy the mid-afternoon sun, all you need to do is to push a button. Alternatively, the windows can tuck into the structure to provide a closed, more private environment.
“Our design scenario was based on seasons. In winter, when balconies are not usually used, and the outside view is not very important, the structure gets closed, and all attention is shifted towards the void inside the house. In summer, the cubes are extended outwards, and balconies are activated. Now all attention is towards the outside,” Taghaboni said.
Privacy has always been a top priority for the Iranians and this was taken seriously in the design of the rotating home. Instead of providing large widows, a void or empty space has been used in the middle of the building to allow sunlight into the house.
The void also resembles ancient Iranian architecture.
“Our main reference for this project is ancient Iranian buildings, but with a complete revision based on a reading of our own, which obviously uses a modern design language,” Taghaboni said.
Around three million Euros (USD 4 million) was spent on designing and building the house. Taghaboni says only one seventh of the money was used for building the rotating boxes.
The revolving home has been nominated for an international prize at an event called the World Architecture Festival which is to be held in Singapore in October, 2014.

Iran the land of devotion : Zoroastrians of Iran
Zoroastrianism is a religion founded in ancient times by the prophet Zarathushtra, known to the Greeks as Zoroaster.
Zoroastrianism was the dominant world religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AC), and was thus the most powerful world religion at the time of Jesus. It had a major influence on other religions. It is still practiced world-wide, especially in Iran and India.

The Classical Music of IRAN ؛ Samples in Dastgah System

Persian traditional music (also known as Iranian traditional music, mūsīqī-e sonnatī-e īrānī, or Persian/Iranian classical music, mūsīqī-e aṣīl-e īrānī) is the traditional and indigenous music of Iran: mūsīqī, the science and art of music, and moosiqi, the sound and performance of music. Iranian classical music relies on both improvisation and composition, and is based on a series of modal scales and tunes which must be memorized. Apprentices and masters, ostad, have a traditional relationship which has declined during the 20th century as music education moved to universities and conservatories.[citation needed] The common repertoire consists of more than two hundred short melodic movements called gusheh, which are classified into seven dastgāh or "modes." Two of these modes have secondary modes branching from them called āvāz. Each gusheh and dastgah has an individual name. This whole body is called the Radif of which there are several versions, each in accordance to the teachings of a particular master or ostad. A typical performance consists of the following elements pīshdarāmad(a rhythmic prelude which sets the mood), darāmad (rhythmic free motif), āvāz (improvised rhythmic-free singing), taṣnīf (rhythmic accompanied by singing, an ode), Chahārmeżrāb (rhythmic music but rhythmic-free or no singing), reng (closing rhythmic composition, a dance tune). A performance forms a sort of suite. Unconventionally, these parts may be varied or omitted. Towards the end of the Safavid Empire (1502-1736), more complex movements in 10, 14, and 16 beats stopped being performed. In fact, in the early stages of the Qajar Dynasty, the uṣūl(rhythmic cycles) were replaced by a meter based on the ghazal and the maqām system of classification was reconstructed into the Radif system which is used to this day (see Dast'gāh). Today, rhythmic pieces are performed in beats of 2 to 7 with some exceptions. Rengs are always in a 6/8 time frame. Many melodies and modes are related to the maqāmāt of the Turkish classical repertoire and Arabic music belonging to various Arab countries, for example Iraq. This similarity is because of the exchange of musical science that took place in the early Islamic world between Persia and her neighboring countries. During the meeting of The Inter-governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Heritage of the United Nations, held between 28 September -- 2 October 2009 in Abu Dhabi, radifs were officially registered on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[1][2][3][4]
The classical music is vocal based. The vocalist plays a crucial role: she or he decides what mood to express and which dastgah relates to that mood. In many cases, the vocalist is also responsible for choosing the poems to be sung. If the performance requires a singer, the singer is accompanied by at least one wind or string instrument, and at least one type of percussion. There could be an ensemble of instruments, though the primary vocalist must maintain hers or his role. In some taṣnīf songs, the musicians may accompany the singer by singing along several verses. Traditionally, music is performed while seated on finely decorated cushions and rugs. Candles are sometimes lit. The group of musicians and the vocalist decide on which dastgahs and which of their gushehs to perform, depending on the mood of a certain time or situation. Archeological evidence[citation needed] reveals musical instruments that were used in Iran during the Elamite era around 800 BCE.
Iranian classical music continues to function as a spiritual tool as it has throughout its history, and much less of a recreational activity. Compositions can vary immensely from start to finish, usually alternating between low, contemplative pieces and athletic displays of musicianship called tahrir. The incorporation of religious texts as lyrics were replaced by lyrics largely written by medieval Sufi poets, especially Hafez and Jalal-e Din Rumi.

Zoroastrianism is a religion founded in ancient times by the prophet Zarathushtra, known to the Greeks as Zoroaster.
Zoroastrianism was the dominant world religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AC), and was thus the most powerful world religion at the time of Jesus. It had a major influence on other religions. It is still practiced world-wide, especially in Iran and India.
To quote Mary Boyce, "The prophet Zarathushtra, son of Pourushaspa, of the Spitaman family, is known to us primarily from the Gathas, seventeen great hymns which he composed and which have been faithfully preserved by his community. These are not works of instruction, but inspired, passionate utterances, many of them addressed directly to God; and their poetic form is a very ancient one, which has been traced back (through Norse parallels) to Indo-European times. It seems to have been linked with a mantic tradition, that is, to have been cultivated by priestly seers who sought to express in lofty words their personal apprehension of the divine; and it is marked by subtleties of allusion, and great richness and complexity of style. Such poetry can only have been fully understood by the learned; and since Zoroaster believed that he had been entrusted by God with a message for all mankind, he must also have preached again and again in plain words to ordinary people. His teachings were handed down orally in his community from generation to generation, and were at last committed to writing under the Sasanians, rulers of the third Iranian empire. The language then spoken was Middle Persian, also called Pahlavi; and the Pahlavi books provide invaluable keys for interpreting the magnificent obscurities of the Gathas themselves." - Zoroastrians, Their religious beliefs and practices, London, 1979, pg 17.

Persepolis Old Persian: Pārśa, New Persian: Takht-e Jamshid or Pārseh, literally meaning "city of Persians", was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BCE). Persepolis is situated 70 km northeast of city of Shiraz in Fars Province in Iran. The earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BCE. It exemplifies the Achaemenid style of architecture. UNESCO declared the ruins of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.
Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BCE. André Godard, the French archaeologist who excavated Persepolis in the early 1930s, believed that it was Cyrus the Great (Kūrosh) who chose the site of Persepolis, but that it was Darius I (Daryush) who built the terrace and the great palaces.
Darius ordered the construction of the Apadana Palace and the Council Hall (the Tripylon or three-gated hall), the main imperial Treasury and its surroundings. These were completed during the reign of his son, King Xerxes the Great (New-Persian Khashayar, more correctly,, 'the greatest/king of the gallant youth/young men'). Further construction of the buildings on the terrace continued until the downfall of the Achaemenid dynasty.

VANCOUVER, BC – In a wide-ranging interview with NewsInsideOut.com’s Alfred Lambremont Webre, Independent scientist Leuren Moret and journalist and military historian Laurens Battis discuss how the Jesuits, ancient Iranian and Roman bloodlines, as well as Zionist interests have coordinated attacks basic freedoms, including freedom of thought and expression, guaranteed on the U.S. constitution.
These have included sustained attacks on the U.S. aimed at destroying the democratic rights of the American people. Attacks have included the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, where Jesuit and Zionist interests in the US acted to defeat Jimmy Carter’s re-election and ensure the election of super-hawk Ronald Reagan.
Jade Helm 2015 False Flag
The Jade Helm 2015 False Flag has included HAARP-Chemtrails WMD weather warfare retaliatory strikes against Texas in retaliation for the Texas governor’s calling out the Texas Guard to monitor Federal troops mobilized for the attempted Jade Helm 2015 occupation of America in contravention of the historic Posse Comitatus act passed in 1878 in the aftermath of the Civil War prohibiting the deployment of Federal troops on the U.S. mainland. It is long documented that the Bauer family fomented the U.S. Civil War.
Texas State Senate Authorizes Gold and Silver as Legal Tender
The HAARP-Chemtrails weather warfare attacks on Texas were also a retaliation against the Texas State Senate having passed on May 26, 2015 HB483 a bill taking a step towards gold and silver as commonly-used legal tender in Texas by an overwhelming 29-2 vote. If passed by the Texas House and signed by the Governor, this would functionally place Texas as the equivalent of a BRICS nation in terms of internal monetary policy, and represent a step toward con-federation with the United States, as the current currency policies of the United States do not permit gold and silver as legal tender.
Adoption of the Texas HB483 allowing gold and silver as legal tender by other states would (1) restore state sovereignty and real wealth of the American people; (2) allow the U.S. government to default on its obligations to the Bauer-family owned Federal Reserve bank without negative real wealth consequences for the real wealth people of the United States.
If other states were to adopt the Texas standard, this could seriously implode the legitimacy of the now bankrupt and Bauer-family controlled Federal Reserve Bank.
Texas-based Members of Congress such as Ron Paul have attempted to end the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank (established without a vote during the 1913 Christmas holiday break through Bauer family bribing of then President Woodrow Wilson and other politicians).

Trace the bloodlines of the Illuminati from the ancient Persians, to the modern Jesuits and learn how the Pope might be the final step in the New World Order, with author Leuren Moret. From the Aldebrondinis, to Vladimir Putin (who happens to be the new Tsar)--we uncover how power has shifted to the East, but managed to stay in the hands of the select few. Nuclear poisoning, HAARP weaponry, and false flags being utilized to manipulate the globe, plus the silencing and stealing of Nikola Tesla’s innovation are all explored in this Buzzsaw interview, hosted by Sean Stone.

After graduating from UC Davis in 1968, she collaborated with famous Paleobotanist Dr. Daniel I. Axelrod for 16 years, conducting yearly Paleobotanical expeditions and investigations around the World. That experience led to collaboration at the British Museum with Dr. Lewis Leakey, identifying paleobotanical specimens from East Africa and reconstructing hominid environments. She also conducted research at the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences at Cambridge University, for Dr. Christopher Jeans, son of the well known astronomer Sir James Jeans.
After living in Iran and traveling around Europe and the Middle East, she returned to UC Berkeley and graduated in 1978 with an M.A. in Near Eastern Studies and the equivalent of a Masters degree in Wildlife Studies. After working at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab 1989-1991 as a geochemist on the WIPP and Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage projects, she became a Federal Whistleblower on nuclear weapons lab science fraud, graft, and corruption.
Her research led to a chance meeting in 2000 with Marion Fulk, the Manhattan Project scientist who solved the difficult problems on the Hydrogen Bomb for the US Government, and made it work. With this research came a new and perhaps as important field of knowledge, the new global Weapon of Mass Destruction based on Tesla technology known as HAARP. It was secretly co-developed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union at Livermore nuclear weapons lab and in Russia.
After visiting 50 countries educating the public, media, Parliaments and Congress, and making 20 speaking tours in Japan from 2000-2010, she has become a self-described “messenger warning the Global Community about the horrific dangers of HAARP and nuclear technologies.”

wn.com/Illuminati Bloodlines, The Pope, And Russia’S Rising Influence With Leuren Moret
Trace the bloodlines of the Illuminati from the ancient Persians, to the modern Jesuits and learn how the Pope might be the final step in the New World Order, with author Leuren Moret. From the Aldebrondinis, to Vladimir Putin (who happens to be the new Tsar)--we uncover how power has shifted to the East, but managed to stay in the hands of the select few. Nuclear poisoning, HAARP weaponry, and false flags being utilized to manipulate the globe, plus the silencing and stealing of Nikola Tesla’s innovation are all explored in this Buzzsaw interview, hosted by Sean Stone.

The History Of Medes / Media

The Medes Old Persian Māda-, Ancient Greek: Μῆδοι, Hebrew: מָדַי) were an ancient Iranian people[N 2] who lived in an area known as Media (North-western Iran and south-east Turkey) and who spoke the Median language. Their arrival to the region is associated with the first wave of migrating Iranic Aryan tribes into Ancient Iran from the late 2nd millennium BCE (circa 1000 BC) (the Bronze Age collapse) through the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE (circa 900 BC).
This period of migration coincided with a power vacuum in the Near East, with the Middle Assyrian Empire (1365-1020 BC) which had dominated north western Iran and eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus going into a comparative decline, allowing new peoples to pass through and settle. In addition, Elam, the dominant power in Ancient Iran was suffering a period of severe weakness, as was Babylonia to the west.
From the 10th to late 7th centuries BCE, the western parts of Media fell under the domination of the vast Neo-Assyrian Empire based in northern Mesopotamia, but which stretched from Cyprus to Ancient Iran, and from the Caucasus to Egypt and Arabia. Assyrian kings such as Tiglath-Pileser III, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal and Ashur-etil-ilani imposed Vassal Treaties upon the Median rulers, and also protected them from predatory raids by marauding Scythian and Cimmerian hordes.
During the reign of Sinsharishkun (622-612 BC) the Assyrian empire, which had been in a state of constant civil war since 626 BC, began to unravel. Subject peoples, such as the Medes, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Scythians, Cimmerians, Lydians and Arameans quietly ceased to pay tribute to Assyria.
An alliance with the Medes and rebelling Babylonians, Scythians, Chaldeans, and Cimmerians, helped the Medes to capture Nineveh in 612 BCE, which resulted in the eventual collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire by 605 BC. The Medes were subsequently able to establish their Median kingdom (with Ecbatana as their royal centre) beyond their original homeland and had eventually a territory stretching roughly from northeastern Iran to the Halys River in Anatolia. After the fall of the Assyrian Empire, between 616 BCE and 605 BCE, a unified Median state was formed, which, together with Babylonia, Lydia, and Egypt, became one of the four major powers of the ancient Near East. The Median Empire was transformed into the Medo-Persian Empire in 550 BCE and Cyrus the Great established the Achaemenid Empire. The established one the mightiest empires in the ancient world ruled for 150 years. They contributed a lot the rise of co-existing culture between and amongst various tribes and ethnicities. The 'Federation of Tribes' they established, was later developed into the 'Federation of States' in the modern world.
A few archaeological sites (discovered in the "Median triangle" in western Iran) and textual sources (from contemporary Assyrians and also Greeks in later centuries) provide a brief documentation of the history and culture of the Median state. The Medes had almost the same equipment as the Persians and indeed the dress common to both is not so much Persian as Median. Apart from a few personal names, the language of the Medes is almost entirely unknown. However a number of words from the Median language are still in use, and there are languages being geographically and comparatively traced to the northwestern Iranian language of Median. The Medes had an Ancient Iranian Religion (a form of pre-Zoroastrian Mazdaism or Mithra worshipping) with a priesthood named as "Magi". Later and during the reigns of the last Median kings, the reforms of Zarathustra spread in western Iran.
