| Iran Photo Album presents you with photos of objects and places dating back
to 4000 BC at which time a people called the Elamites with their capital city
at Susa were prominent in Iran. The Persians
appear on the scene at around 650 BC. So great was their impact on world history that even
to this day Iran is often referred to as Persia. The name given
to the empire which Cyrus the Great founded in
560 BC. The name "Persia" originates
from "Pars" which is actually a province
of Iran where the original Persians were settled, it
is called "Fars" by the Iranians. |
The Official Language of the country is
now Persian ( called Farsi by the Iranians ).
Other derivatives of Persian and many dialects
are now spoken in Iran and some neighbouring countries. The site shall never be complete
as new pictures will always come my way to be added. I
shall therefore open it with around 100 pictures,
and will keep adding on weekly basis. So please come back.
