Shahrivar the 7th 8611 AZ          Orang - Planet Irana

Frank was very excited about finding an article on a famous Persian film made nearly a century before. Andrea his glamorous robonet had been searching for such a piece for almost 72 Earthian hours. As soon as Andrea found the article she started reading it aloud:

"Cyrus the Great" possesed a great vitality and flow. The script though was not sufficiently capable to inform the ordinary movie goer about this historical figure. The historical king considered to have founded the 1st human rights charter is depicted as a superhuman which solely describe that the makers of "Cyrus the Great" were not aiming to recreate history. "Cyrus the Great" stands as a fantasy tale of an unimaginable personage openning a new chapter if not in history, at the most in life and at the least in fiction. A tale with a poetic flow of words only good enough for an audience of philosophers. "Cyrus the Great" with all its so called superstar casts and the enormous capital put in for its 70mm 3D production is of course a number 1 hit at the box offices with lines as long as 70 meters. However this does not assure that after entering the theater and furthermore after leaving it a sense of confronting with a masterpiece would somehow and somewhere flow in your mind. "Cyrus the Great" needs to be made over again. Not with all those millions of zarans but with a more factual and historical look. Everyone needs to look into "Cyrus the Great" in order to see "Cyrus the Great".

Frank a 30 year old Iranologist and also a renowned film critic was astonished as he heard what Andrea read out for him. This is a marvellous piece Andrea, said Frank as his dark thick eyebrows rose above his big bright green eyes. The robonet, Frank's closest and dearest friend and companion immersed her long red fingernails into her curly waist long black hair laying on the bed and saying now its his turn to answer. What do you want to know and why? Frank asked as he sat on his calmchair. Oh you should see Andrea when she smiles. Her manufacturers have surely done a great job. Her model was introduced to interplanetary markets just an Earthian month ago. She was a major sell out. Every man wanted to have one. She would do everything for you. For Frank it was her smiles which made him give all his savings just to get his own. Frank called her Andrea. I want to know about Iranian symbols ... there are so many ... tell me about them ... I always need to know more ... I should constantly update myself. Frank gazed deeply inside her purple eyes, poured some purple wine for himself and looked at Iransepehr's ( Iranspace ) map. He took a small sip from his purple wine, put his left hand under his long chin, closed his eyes for a moment, thought a bit and then said: I think Iranians have a great passion for the lion & sun symbol. Some consider it as the national symbol while others think it is related to the Imperial Iran. Both these figures are actually visible in ancient cultures. The human culture respects three major symbols. The sun, the lion and the eagle. As a nice futuristic sign which was designed by an Iranian in the last quarter of the 85th century, the lion, the sun and the sword were combined in one format. The whole symbol is the sun with a lion's face and 12 swords(representing time) as the rays of the sun and simultaneously the hair around the lion's face. Anyhow the lion & sun seems to be the major national symbol of Iran. There is one other major symbol called the Fravahr meaning the higher or superior self or being which comes from Zoroastrian Iran and depicts a human with an Achamenid or Persian outlook sitting or could be standing on a stretched out pair of wings as if he was riding a plane or a spaceship. However Fravahr means the higher self which is one with its creator and therefore united with the whole existence. Very well defined, Andrea said. Now tell me what is the word in Persian for someone who manages the affairs of a highranking person? Andrea asked. Pishkar is a high society word for someone who's job is to manage the affairs of a powerful person. Frank added, interesting enough pish is connected with push and kar with career. Frank said according to linguists, Persian & English are Indo-European languages and therefore interconnected. Very well put, Andrea said as she rolled over the bed. What else do you need to update yourself? Frank stood up from his calmchair and asked. He was a tall thin man. As he stood up his height blocked the light in the room and his long shadow stretched over Andrea's body. I want to know what can I call a letter which authorizes a delegate to act on behalf of his or her goverment even though the delegate might be light years away from that goverment? Andrea asked again. You mean in Persian? Frank asked Andrea. Yes in Persian ... something like the letter of marque ... what is it called in Persian? Andrea asked and then smiled. Frank sat beside her on the bed. He just sat silent and looked at Andrea as if he was hypnotized. It took him nearly 30 seconds to respond. For this letter of marque, there are a number of options. Ustuvarnameh is the word used for the letter which authorizes an ambassador but other words are also used. Like what? asked Andrea. Baghnameh or bagnameh, answered Frank and added, bagh or bag is like big and has the same meaning. He smiled and said, it also means god or someone big and important. Frank continued, nameh comes from the root word nam meaning name. nameh means book or letter and when combined with other words it represents either a kind of a book or a certificate of some sort. Farnameh is another one, Frank went on. far is like far or para and with nameh it means a high ranked letter. I think this is a wonderful option taking into account the light years. Frank seemed to be thrilled about this term as his big eyes widened and he took a big sip from his purple wine. Frank was really excited. It can also mean the higher letter defining space and time, he said. Frank's mind was obviously restless on finding and explaining these terms. He looked as if he has another one at the tip of his tounge. You have another one? Andrea winked at him but didn't smile. Yes ... sure I have another one, Frank thought a bit and his big eyes widened again. Sarnameh, he said nervously. He stood up and explained, sar is like sir meaning head ... with nameh it would mean the head letter, the top letter, the important letter or the letter representing the head of something or the letter coming from the head of somewhere. Frank sat on his calmchair again and went further, there is also sarannameh, saran is the plural of sar or sir meaning heads or sirs. This would mean the letter of highranking officials or heads of somewhere, he added. Andrea rose up, sat on the bed and looked deeply into Frank's big green eyes. I am crazy about purple eyes, Frank said to himself. Tell me the names of some of Iran's spaceships, Andrea demanded all of a sudden. Frank didn't lose his eye contact with Andrea as he drank the rest of his Persian purple wine. There are so many, said Frank. Andrea stood up and walked slowly towards Frank just like a Persian cat. She smiled and threw all that long black hair onto one side of her shoulders. I didn't say I wanted all their names, she responded calmly. Ok ... ok, I'll mention some, said Frank. He gathered his thoughts and went on. Shahin is one, meaning eagle, kingly or royal. Apadana is another and it means, wise on water, water law, water Science or water wisdom. Its also the name for one of the huge buildings of Persepolis and another building in Susa. Kamran is one more, meaning prosperous, To go forward desirably. Mithran is another one. It comes from the word Mithra, meaning Love and Light, also another name for the Sun. Furthermore Mithra is the name of a very ancient figure or personage who some consider pre-Zoroastrian. Ran is connected with run meaning to move or to control or to drive. Mithran is also the plural form of Mithra. Frank went on while Andrea registered the names and details. Ekbatana is one more. Ekbatana was the capital of Iran during the Median era some 2700 years ago. The city had seven walls around it, each with a color of the rainbow. There are many more, Frank carried on. There is Bunyad for instance, meaning foundation. Cyrus is another mighty spaceship. I presume after that film review which you found and read aloud, you should know by now who Cyrus was, said Frank. I know more than you can ever imagine, replied Andrea as she smoothly touched the light blue Persian carpet hung on the wall with her fingertips. She looked at a sunflower plant in the corner of the room and said, He was the founder of the Acheminian empire in Iran and the king who issued the 1st human rights charter some 25 centuries ago. Well done and well defined, said Frank smilingly.

h) ASHKAN = Arsacid founder and the King who found the hidden "Kavyan" flag uniting Iranians and ending the selucids ( Alexander's successors) rule in Iran some 2250 years ago. The Arsacid dynasty ruled in Iran for over 5 centuries.

i) BABAK = Leader of the Red Robes Movement who followed the teachings of MAZDAK. (( Probably history's 1st Socialist / A reformist Zoroastrian priest during the last decades of the Sassanid rule some 1500 years ago. )) "Babak Khurramdin"((Khurram-din = Happy religion)) and the Red Robes fought for Iran's revival and independence against the Abbasid caliphs some 1200 years ago. Babak was considered as the most fearsome opponent of the caliphs and fought the Abbasids for 20 years. His castle on a top of a mountain still exists in Iran. Babak was tricked, captured and brutally tortured to death in Baghdad while the Red Robes continued to exist until 600 years ago or in other words 600 years after Babak. These are some few suggestions out of a universe of names and options. They can be combined with numbers to define the models such as : Apadana Z88, Cyrus P7, Ashkan 10, Bunyad 1000T and so on.

6) A spaceport in Persian could be called "Sepehr-vand" or "Sepehr-band". Sepehr = Space and they are interconnected. Vand/Band = connected, linked, it also means a way or something connected or linked from or to a higher or bigger source. Therefore together with Sepehr it means Space link or port. A longer word for spaceport is "Bandar Sepehrin/Sepehri ". Bandar = ( Pronounced with a short "a") port, normally used for port cities like "Bandar Pahlavi", "Bandar Shah", "Bandar Bushehr". "Bandar Sepehrin" is the exact equivalent of "Space Port". 

I see a very bright future for Iran. Iran is like a Grandfather with the exception that it is always reborn again. Iran's culture belongs to all mankind and its for all humanity. All cultures are one and the same since humanity is one. With all their different characters and colors they are all good and positive. Whatever negative which is being associated wrongly with a culture is infact not part of a culture and should be known as bad behaviour. For this reason there is no eastern nor western or northern or southern values and cultures and looking at things this way has unfortunately separated humanity and cultures. All humans from Japan to Canada and from Russia to South Africa Love freedom, happiness, sweetness and all the good things in life because we are all one. If only the next generation of humans bring about in their works all the good of human cultures and present them in a balanced manner, the age of harmony and world peace shall begin.
