The oldest inscription of Cyrus the Great in which his conquests were carved in Neo Babylonian or Akkadian language chronologically has been translated into Persian language. The most ancient inscription of Cyrus the Great, the Achaemenid king (559-530 BC), in which the conquests of Cyrus was written in chronological order in Neo Babylonian language has been translated in Persian language. Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi, astro -archeoloigst and researcher in historian studies, who has undertaken this major project, told CHN: “Nabonid-Cyrus chronology is an earthen inscription in Neo Babylonian (Akkadian) language which was written by order of Cyrus the Great and now is being kept in British Museum in London. Destruction of great parts of this inscription over time has made the decoding of some parts of this tablet impossible. The detailed chronology of Cyrus the Great’s conquests which was unearthed in Babylon’s royal palace is even older than the famous Cyrus Cylinder. By referring to versions which have been already translated into English language and its original text in Babylonian language, we succeeded in interpreting the inscription to Persian language for the first time.” [...]

One of beliefs says “Teshtar” (Sirius) is responsible for raining and its opposite is “Apoush” (Cabalatrab/ Antares). In “Teshtar Yasht” (a part of Avesta) these two stars fight with each other (this is one of the oldest plays of mankind history). At this play some times Teshtar wins and sometimes Apoush. Here is a question what is the reason of growing such beliefs? For finding its answer we should be familiar with their annual rising and setting. [...]

Aryans’ Immigration in Relation to the Ancient Seas and the Weather of Iran
The overwhelming majority of historical sources regard the people of present Persia (Iran) descendants of Aryans who are thought to have migrated from some far northern land towards south including the present land of Persia, destroyed native people and civilizations and replaced them. The date of this great migration is speculated to be sometimes between 3000 to 5000 years ago. Similarly, speculations on the point of origin of this great history-making shift includes a vast area from west, north and center of Europe to east of Asia, Baltic Sea, Scandinavian peninsula, north plains of central Asia and Caucasus, Siberia and even the north pole. This very disagreement and lack of unquestionable evidences on the exact geographical homeland of these Aryans point to the soundlessness of such speculations. Most of contemporary historical texts end the account of the land of origin and this great migration with a few short obscure and inexact statements without giving any sound reasons for such an important move. They usually suffice to present a map with a few large arrows drawn from Siberia to Caspian Sea and central plains of Persia. [...]

Зaниси “Aвесты” и других текстов имеют связаны с древней энохой ахеменидов, и в каждой из ныхскрыть тайны. Накше Рустам – это название местности в провинции Фарс в шести килуметрах к северу от “Тахте Джамшида”. В этом месте в сердцевине горы Севанда высечены четыре гробницы, относящиеся к царям ахеменидов. В нижней ее части имеются несколько разукрашеных камней, сохранившихся со времен сасанидов и даже со времен эламской государственности. Именно из- за наличия этих изображений даная местность называется Накше Рустам. На некотором расстоянии от горы расположено строение солнечной обсерватории Накше Рустам. Оно представляет собой иостройку, которая была воздвигнута в приод ахеменидов. [...]
Zoroaster’s Kaba, in Naqsh-e Rustam
An Iranian archaeologist has rejected the theory describing the Achaemenid era monument Zoroaster’s Kaba as an ancient government archive, saying that the monument is the world’s most unique calendrical and astronomical building. “At the end of Shahrivar (the sixth month of the Iranian calendar, August 23-September 22) we can determine exactly the day of the month by the light shed by the sun on Zoroaster’s Kaba. It has been used for daily needs, determining the time of cultivating crops, and collecting taxes,” Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi explained. [...]
Nimrouz: The Middle of Ancient World
Nimrouz land (Sistan/ Zarang/ Zavolestan) has a deep and long bond with Persian (Iranian) astronomy and calendar. It’s different names come from its astronomical applications. The name of “Zabol/ Zavol” had relation with sun reaching to zenith and it’s measurement as the origin for day and night and the word “Mezvaleh” which means sun index came from the same root. It seems that the word “Zarang” (in Achaemenid cuneiform script: “Zaraka”) has a relation with “halt” and “time” and the most important of all, the word “Nimrouz” roots from the ancient belief and wisdom that the “Nimrouzan” line or the meridian passes through this region.
