7 days in Iran – culture and history of Iran

Iran is a cradle of human civilization. In the late 4th and early 3rd millennia, BC Elamite civilization rose on the lowland Khuzestan, in the South-west of Iran. In the late 2nd millennia BC the Iranians migrating southward from the Central Asian Steppes began to settle in the Iranian plateau. By the mid-9th century, BC two major groups of Iranians rose to be the dominant force on the plateau: the Medes and the Persians. In 550 BC, the Persians defeated the Medes, and the Achaemenid kings appeared on the international scene. The Parthian and Sassanian dynasties ruled Iran successively. In 625 the Sassanians were defeated by the Muslim armies and the vast majority of Iranians converted to Islam, attracted by the divine teachings of this religion.
