What do you know about the Iranian cross?
“Broken cross” or “cross” is an Aryan symbol and means good luck and rebirth. At one time the universe was considered to be a combination of the four elements of water, wind, earth and fire. Each branch of the cross symbol is the embodiment of one of the elements that, by rotating, maintain the system of nature. According to some, the cross and the broken cross are a symbol of the soul. Ancient man believed that when a person dies, nothing is lost, but the soul leaves the body and flies to the heavens like a bird. Thus, the bird was embodied in the form of a cross and the cross became a symbol of the soul. In the same way, when architecture builds a shrine, it decorates the building with the cross, believing that the crucifix is a sculpted symbol of the soul. We can see an example of a cross in the role of Rostam, the tomb of all the Achaemenid kings except Cyrus the Great in the role of Rostam, in the role of a cross. This painting has been seen on the mouths of some pottery jars in which the dead were buried and also on Parthian cloths.
“Cypress Abarkooh”, the second oldest tree in the world
“Cypress Abarkooh”, the second oldest tree in the world in Abarkooh city of Yazd province, is a symbol of ancient Iran. Scientists have estimated the lifespan of the cypress tree to be between 4,000 and 8,000 years. The height of the tree is about 28 meters and the circumference of its trunk is about 18 meters. Fortunately, the Abarkooh cypress is still green and hardy. This cypress is a symbol of Ahuramazda (Zoroastrian god) in ancient Iran. In fact, it is said that the tree was first planted by him. There is another legend that believes that the cypress tree has a soul and this spirit Protects it. These days, the Yazd Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization is in charge of protecting the Abarkooh cypress. In fact, the protective fence around it is one of the tasks of the organization to emphasize the importance of this natural place. The cypress tree of this giant tree, registered by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran, is waiting for UNESCO approval for world registration.

The 1500-year-old wall of Gorgan is the second largest wall in the world after China.
The 1500-year-old wall of Gorgan is the second largest wall in the world after China. When the construction of the Great Wall of China was completed, it was 1000 years since the construction of the brick wall of Gorgan. Most of this wall has been destroyed and only small parts of it are buried under the ground. An American archaeologist who photographed Iranian antiquities with his private plane in 1315, sees a red wall in Gorgan and photographs it. These photographs later became documents for archaeologists’ research. Tens of millions of brick molds were used in the construction of this huge wall, and they found a large number of brick kilns at close distances to the wall. To provide water, they dug an aqueduct and built a 200-kilometer-long water canal. The construction of this wall took ninety years. The wall of Gorgan, in comparison with the series of walls of China, is a monument that was built with honor, and many innocent people and slaves were not killed in it!

Zoroastrian Fire Temple in Yazd, the most important Zoroastrian fire temple in the world
It was built about 80 years ago. When the Zoroastrians decided to build a fire temple for themselves, a Zoroastrian Indian joined them to build this fire temple. In India, Zoroastrians are known as “Parseh”, they are the same Zoroastrians who immigrated to India 300 years ago. At the top of the building is the symbol of “Forouhar”, which for Zoroastrians is the cross of Christians. The symbol of Forouhar is the image of an old man, which shows the value that Zarathustra attaches to the elderly. It is said that the fire that burns in the fire temple of Yazd has not been extinguished for about 1600 years. The worshipers are only allowed to enter the room of the fire headquarters. The fire burns inside a large bronze chamber. This fire was brought from Aqada Karian Larestan fire temple to Aqda in Yazd and was lit there for about 700 years, then from Aqda to Ardakan and finally to Yazd. He was first transferred to the house of one of the priests and later to the current location of the Zoroastrian fire temple in Yazd.
