Hazāra-yi qoqnūs, sāsānīyān tā sāmānīyān: Persiska (Farsi) 2010

The Millennium of the Phoenix," as its title suggests, is "that immortal soul and rebirth," and it encompasses the sorrowful epochs of the long histories of the ancient land with its diverse people. This work can be considered a fresh perspective on the history of Iran. The book is divided into six sections, with an index and maps provided at the end. In the introduction, there is a reference to historical research in modern times, emphasizing that "history is an inquiry from yesterday to tomorrow." It discusses the continuity and discontinuities in the history of our land, noting that "the history of our country, for more than a thousand years, does not have continuity. It is fragmented." The first section of this book is about the Sassanids, who "ruled in Iran from 224 to 651 AD (427 years)." It then elaborates on the achievements of this dynasty, starting with thought and knowledge. It begins with the Khwaday-Namag, which is "the oldest valuable book in the history of Iran," translated into Arabic in the second century AH by Ibn al-Muqaffa under the name "Sirat al-Muluk al-Furs." "The translation of the book quickly spread among the Arabs." According to Kaveer, "the Shahnameh of Abu Moayyad Balkhi and the prose Shahnameh of Abu Mansur are also translations and adaptations of this book." Alongside the Khwaday-Namag, it mentions other cultural works: the Ayin-Namak, the Letter of Tansar, the Yadegar-e Zariran, and the Andarznameh of Adurbad-i Mahrspandan. It also discusses the history of Iranian cities, the Chess-Namak, and the Kārnāmag-ī Ardashīr-ī Pāpakān, explaining the special elements of each to familiarize readers with the rich historical past.
