Iran, history of History of the Iranian Plateau from prehistoric times to the present. The article covers as well the succession of ancient empires centered there, the borders of which extended beyond those of the present country. The early history of Iran may be divided into three phases: The rise of the Persians under Cyrus II Little is known of the remainder of Cyrus' reign. The rapidity with which his son and successor, Cambyses II, initiated a successful campaign against Egypt suggests that preparations for such an attack were well advanced under Cyrus. But the founder of Persian power was forced to turn east late in his reign to protect that frontier against warlike tribes who were themselves in part Iranians and who threatened the plateau in the same manner as had the Medes and the Persians more than a millennium earlier. One of the recurrent themes of Iranian history is the threat of peoples from the east. How much Cyrus conquered in the east is uncertain. What is clear is that he lost his life in 529 BC, fighting somewhere in the region of the Oxus and Jaxartes rivers. The Achaemenid dynasty Cambyses In 522 BC news reached Cambyses of a revolt in Iran led by an impostor claiming to be Bardiya, Cambyses' brother. Several provinces of the empire accepted the new ruler, who bribed his subjects with a remission of taxes for three years. Hastening home to regain control, Cambyses diedpossibly by his own hand, more probably from infection following an accidental sword wound. Darius, a leading general in Cambyses' army and one of the princes of the Achaemenid family, raced homeward with the troops in order to crush the rebellion in a manner profitable to himself.

Iran, history of History of the Iranian Plateau from prehistoric times to the present. The article covers as well the succession of ancient empires centered there, the borders of which extended beyond those of the present country. The early history of Iran may be divided into three phases: The prehistoric period beginning with the earliest evidence of man on the Iranian Plateau (c. 100,000 BC) and ending roughly at the start of the 1st millennium BC; The protohistoric period covering approximately the first half of the 1st millennium BC; and The period of the Achaemenid dynasty (6th to 4th century BC), when Iran entered the full light of written history. The civilization of Elam, centred off the plateau in lowland Khuzestan, is an exception, for written history began there as early as it did in neighbouring Mesopotamia (c. 3000 BC). The sources for the prehistoric period are entirely archaeological. Early excavation in Iran was limited to a few sites. In the 1930s archaeological exploration increased rapidly, but work was abruptly halted by the outbreak of World War II. After the war ended, interest in Iranian archaeology revived quickly, and since 1950 numerous excavations have revolutionized the study of prehistoric Iran. For the protohistoric period the historian is still forced to rely primarily on archaeological evidence, but much information comes from written sources as well. None of these sources, however, is both local to and contemporary with the events described. Some sources are contemporary but belong to neighbouring civilizations that are only tangentially involved in events in the Iranian Plateau; for example, the Assyrian and Babylonian cuneiform records from lowland Mesopotamia. Some are local but not contemporary, such as the traditional Iranian legends and tales that supposedly speak of events in the early 1st millennium BC. And some are neither contemporary nor local but are nevertheless valuable in reconstructing events in the protohistoric period (e.g., the 5th-century-BC Greek historian Herodotus).

Talk:Iran/History From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Talk:Iran Describe the new page here. Here are some questions/issues about the Iran/History page. Iran is an important country, and i'd like to know some more about its history than what is printed here. In particular, i have heard that it was a moderately liberal democracy until the early 1950s when the Shah was installed by foreigners. Is this true? If so, it would be interesting to know something about the government, which foreigners did what, etc. And if this is false, it would still be intersting to know just what happened in those years. Thanks in advance for anybody who knows something about Iran writing this up. Maybe it's elsewhere in the wikipedia?

Tehran Capital and Largest City of Iran Go To: History of Tehran Ski Tehran Iran City Area Codes History of Tehran Tehran which today ranks among the large cities of the world, is historically a newcomer among Iran's ancient cities. The oldest record mentioning Tehran, is the book of "tArikhe baghdAd" (Baghdad's History), written in 14 volumes by, Abu-Bakr Ahmad-ibn Ali-ibn SAbet, also known as "khatibe baghdAdi". Khatib, who died in the latter part of 11th century A.D., in his biography of Mohammed-ibn-HammAd, calls him Abi AbdollAh HAfeze TehrAniye RAzi. Before this, we do not find any mention of Tehran in any written document; after this some scant mentions of Tehran are made in connection with its affluent agricultural products, specially its pomegranates. The first geographer who writes attentively about Tehran, is ShahAb-od-din Abu AbdollAh (Yaghoote Hamavi), who lived around 13th century A.D. In his book Mo'jam-ol-BoldAn he writes; "Tehran is one of the villages of Rey with rebellious inhabitants. They not only disregard their governors, but are in constant clashes amongst themselves, to the extent that the inhabitants of its twelve quarters cannot visit one another." He adds that the TehrAnis lived in underground dwellings. His writings have been confirmed by the other geographers of the same period. The onset of the destruction of Rey, first by sectarian schisms and fanaticism in the 12th century, followed by its annihilation in the catastrophic sack by the Mongols in the year 1220 A.D., gave Tehran an opportunity for development and increased its population. Finally in the second half of the 16th century, this green village attracted the attention of Shah TahmAsb I, the Safavid King, who ordered that ramparts be constructed around it (1553 A.D.). From that time Tehran acquired the status of a city and grew systematically. The length of these ramparts was about 6000 paces, and included 114 forts and four gates; these were:

Home Bioethics around the World History of Bioethics A Brief History of Medical Ethics in Iran Alireza Bagheri,M.D. University of Tsukuba Bagheri@sakura.cc.tsukuba.ac.jp A) Ancient times: In reviewing the history of medicine in Iran, one may extract from the texts that ethical rules had always been part of the medical education. So much so that well-known physicians would allocate part of theirs books on medical education to the education of medical ethics. For example, Razi (865 - 925 AD) is one of the earliest physicians in Iran who was strictly committed to the principles of medical ethics and detested the so-called physicians who used medicine as a means of profiteering. Among his works, there are some pamphlets on principles of medical ethics and some pieces of ethical advice he made to his disciples. Also, Ali ibn Abbas Ahwazi (930 - 994) has a book entitled Kamel al-Sana`at al-Tebbiyah` (A Comprehensive Book of the Profession of Medicine). In its first chapter, he deals with ethical issues in medical profession and gives guidelines. Avicenna (980-1037), too, has some valuable guidelines in some pamphlets on the methods of teaching medicine and its practice and ways of learning medicine for his disciples.

Fires lit and maintained at the War dakhmas for several weeks after the war closure would help any unconscious soldier mistaken for dead in the haste of the conflict and gaining consciousness at night to find his way out. Typically situated in the remote areas close to the boundaries of the Achaemenian, Parthian and Sasanian empires, war dakhams were not common in the heartland of Iran.

Media Time for another edition of Cool or Lame: We all remember Having lived in LA for most of my life, I know the culture of the place and where much of this activism comes from. It tends to be rather weak and suspect, the result of a millionaire working in a shallow business having a prick of conscience and deciding to use his special powers for the good of mankind. Of course, the issues and problems these folks raise SHOULD be publicized. Of course we should be AWARE and INVOLVED. And perhaps in our celebrity obsessed culture this is a bona-fide way to deliver an important message about world affairs. But to me, having a mega-star like Brad Pitt wander through a village in Africa to show off his mid-career concern just seems kind of lame. And so here we are once again with Sean Penn Am I off base?

According to reports by IRNA, a great number of ancient sites and demolished monuments dating back to various historical eras such as the Sassanid and Islamic period mark the existence of a rich culture and civilization in the area. History experts believe that the monuments in Dahaneh-Gholaman are set up on a range of natural heights 1.5 kms in length and 300-800 in width adjacent to the remains of Senroud dry and old delta. No material and cultural objects such as earthenware are seen in the historical city of Dahaneh-Gholaman, except a few worn-out and broken pieces of ceramics. The supervisor of the archaeological excavations Mansour Seyed Sajjadi told IRNA on Wednesday that the survey and excavations in the area bring to light the evidences of a large city in the area.
