IranPhotoAlbum presents you with photos of objects and places
dating far back to 5000 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 today 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.
