Kerman: Encyclopedia - Buwayhid

The Buwayhids or Buyyids or Āl-i Buyeh, were a Shi'ite tribal confederation from Daylam, a region on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. In pre-Islamic times they had served as mercenaries for the Sasanian kings of Iran, but were independent from their rule. They were considered a formidable military force, especially because of their ability as foot soldiers. Succession of power was hereditary, with fathers dividing their land among their sons. During the time of Harun al-Rashid, the Alid people sought refuge ...

Kerman: Encyclopedia - Dari Afghanistan

Dari is the local written name for the Persian language in Afghanistan used mainly in official papers. While the Afghans in their daily usage and spoken language call this language Persian (locally: Fârsi) they are commanded by the government to use the name "Dari' for it, while writing. "Dari" is an abbreviation of the name Court Persian (Fârsi-yi Dari). The name Court Persian was used in old times to refer to the Standard form of Persian.

Kerman: Encyclopedia - Towers of Silence

The Towers of Silence (also dakhma or dokhma) are Zoroastrian funerary towers, the majority of which are located in Mumbai, India, belonging to Parsi Zoroastrians, and in Yazd and Kerman, Iran, belonging to the Iranian Zoroastrians. Zoroastrians consider the dead body to be unclean, and their religion prohibits allowing corpses to pollute the pure elements of earth and fire. Corpses are therefore placed atop the Towers of Silence for their flesh to be consumed by vultures. Once the bones have been bleached by the sun and wind, they are ...

There are various opinions about the date and reasons for the foundation of the citadel.

Kerman: Encyclopedia II - Zoroastrianism - History

Zoroastrianism was the favored religion of the two great dynasties of ancient Persia, the Achaemenids and Sassanids. However, because we have few contemporary Persian sources, it is difficult to describe ancient Zoroastrianism in detail. Herodotus's description of Persian religion includes recognizably Zoroastrian features, including exposure of the dead and divination. The Achaemenid kings acknowledge their devotion to Ahura Mazda in inscriptions; however, they maintained local religions in Babylon and Egypt, and helped the Jews to r ...

Kerman: Encyclopedia II - Ardashir I of Persia - Religion and State

According to historian Arthur Christensen, the Sassanid state as established by Ardashir I was characterized by two general trends which differentiated it from its Parthian predecessor: a strong political centralization and organized state sponsorship of Zoroastrianism. The Parthian Empire had consisted of a loose federation of vassal kingdoms under the suzerainty of the Great King. Ardashir, perhaps seeing from his own successes the weaknesses of such decentralized authority, established a strong central government by which to rule P ...

Kerman: Encyclopedia II - Kashan - History

Archeological discoveries in the Sialk Hillocks which lie 2.5 Miles (4 km) west of Kashan reveal that this region was one of the primary centers of civilization in pre-historic ages. Hence Kashan dates back to the Elamite period of Iran. The Sialk ziggurat still stands today in the suburbs of Kashan after 7000 years. It was from Kashan where the three wise men of the Bible came from. The artifacts uncovered at Sialk reside in the Louvre in Paris and the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, ...

Kerman: Encyclopedia II - Agiary - Fire Temples Today

Fire Temples today are meeting places for Zoroastrians, as well as housing the sacred fire. Non-Zoroastrians are strictly prohibited from Fire Temples, for fear that the presence of someone not initiated in the faith or of pure Persian descent will pollute the sacred space. Zoroastrians insist though that this is not meant to offend non-Zoroastrians, but point to similar practices in other religions. The layman will typically enter the Fire Temple, offer a donation, receive an offering of sandalwood, bathe and perform basic prayers be ...
