Future in the past till present
This is the home of Iranian or Persian futurism and science fiction. In this place you find stories which are based upon the authentic and true values of the Iranian culture. A grand culture which is 10,000 years old. 10,000 years of national identity and continuety. More than 8000 years ago( 8480 according to Xantus ) in a land called "Airya Vaeja" or "Arya Varta" the great cosmic teacher of humanity and the superscientist "Zarathushtra"( Zoroaster ) set the foundations of futurism and science fiction. One of the 21 volumes of his masterpiece the "Avesta" was totally dedicated to the subject of future and futurism. In the Iranian epic the "Shahnameh" of "Firdowsi" we find many ancient characters and personalities who look into the future and are aware of future events. In "Zend Vohuman Yasn" or "Bahman Yasht" we encounter a work which only contains futurism. In the One thousand and one nights which is derived from the Pahlavi text and was originally called the one thousand tales("Hezar Afsanak") we find both fiction and science fiction in its purest forms. Its upon these great values which the stories of this site take their shape. In these short stories we see a positive future world for humanity. Iran has expanded into many different planets. New cities of Iran flourish throughout the cosmos. Time travel makes it possible to change the history and encounter great Iranian personalities. The calendar year is based upon Zarathushtra's birthday. The flag of Iran is red yellow and purple the colors of the "Kaveyani" flag which was raised more than 9000 years ago by a worker named "Kaveh". This flag is seen on Iran's spaceships and uniforms. These are the values of a future Iran. Values which have their roots deep in the creation of Iran's foundations.
Here you read many stories
Stories of future based on positive and good human values. I hope this would open the way for future generations to think good and positive.
Future should be visioned in a positive manner. This positivism is the result of our negative pessimism colliding with the negative past and present, thus producing positive evolvement and progress for humanity. ( Baktash )
Humanity needs positive and good thinking. Its the essence of this good thought that has made humans evolve to a higher plain. Human which has derived from the Avestan word Vohuman means Good Thought.
YEAR 8800 A.Z
BAKTASH KHAMSEHPOUR
22 Mehr 8477 A.Z ( 14 october 1997 A.D )
The 1st of Farvardin(Iranian first calendar month) brought by itself a great Nowruz (Iranian new year). It was now exactly 8800 years after the birth of Zarathushtra. The world was in peace and harmony. Nations where conquering planets instead of conquering eachother and infact you could say they were very helpful to oneanother. The positive era in the human history actually began a century ago when rapid developments happened in the entire human psyche. This was brought by a full speed progress in technology and communications. Almost every minute an awsome invention or a giant discovery was taking place. I tell you it was really hard to grasp all these wonderful new things. But people were getting smarter and smarter everyday and all of a sudden there were superscientists poping up everywhere. No wonder why so many progressions were being made from all directions. Now after a century of hard work and lots of achievements mankind was searching for enlightenment. Not that during the 88th century they were not enlightend. They were seeking to begin the 89th century A.Z with passion and humor. Afterall humans had gradually changed their manners and were constantly involved with their new technological machines and systems. Anahita Aftab was one of those superscientists who had brought great changes in the late 88th century A.Z was now anxious and determind to present her greatest contribution to the world.
She had found the original Anahita who lived thousands of years before her and during the course of history had turned into a goddess.
The original Anahita who lived even before Zarathushtra was an outstanding personality who had wisdom and beauty. It is stated that she wrote 10,000 articles in her youth. The Anahita of the 89th century A.Z had found something in her that could change the whole course of human history. Apparently when she met her she found out that they are the same person. Even their DNA's were alike but there was something different about them. When she travelled back in time and met her she could not figure out how can a single person exist in two different bodies. As she was trying to solve this great mystery the front door of her condo opened and there she came. The original Anahita. The great goddess of all time. She could not believe her eyes and had no idea how to welcome her.
She appeared to her as an angel. What she was wearing had no sense of time. It was as if she had broken the dimension of time since what she had on and how she looked was not old fashioned and at the same time it did not look futuristic. The stranger thing was that it was a combination of both. Her appearence could have belonged to thousands of years ago and it might have came from millennia ahead. However she was determind to ask her the question but before making her move this angel like goddess who seemed to be unbounded from time came towards her and as she was approaching she heard a telepathic message in her mind. - Hi Anahita I have come to you from thousands of years in the future.

MEETING MAZDAK
BAKTASH KHAMSEHPOUR
16 Mehr 8477 A.Z (8 october 1997 A.D)
Arman was so anxious to get inside the Zurvanvand(Time machine). - I have so many questions from him. He told himself. Arman Payman was a hard working reporter for a 3D-vision station in Shiraz called channel Zaman. He was only 22 but always determind to come up with the best stories. Arman had to make this report although it was tremendously dangerous. He had to travel some 1600 years ago during a difficult period in the Sasanian era and interview the revolutionary figure Mazdak. Some consider Mazdak as a reformist while others quote him as the first socialist figure in the history. There are others who know him as an idealist and even a communist.
Arman had to find it for himself. He was a bit afraid too since the period in which he was planning to travel to was a terribly sensitive era. He might be arrested by the royal guards for talking to Mazdak and he might even be executed. As Arman was deeply in thought Mahnaz entered his room. She was in love with Arman for four years and the only barrier in her love for him was his work. Mahnaz was only 20 and she held the position of news editor in the network. She had long dark curly hair and gazing green eyes.
As she saw Arman deep in thought she walked towards him and asked what is bothering him. - Its very risky. He replied. - What? - This story. As much as I want to go and make this report there are obstacles which I am not sure I can make it back. - Where are you planning to go this time? Mahnaz asked. - I want to interview Mazdak and listen carefully if we can broadcast this live on the 10 oclock news it can change the whole political situation and end the riots.
Mahnaz walked across his room and looked outside the window. - The 10 oclock news has been concentrating lately on the city building projects on planet Bahram(Mars). What you are asking is very hard to do. Mahnaz replied bluntly. She then went on. - How come you are not traveling to the period when he was accepted by the king? - Thats not the important period. The vital time is when the Mazdakites were being prosecuted.
An interview with him right in the middle of such a chaos is what it counts. Arman answered. Mahnaz walked towards him and stood face to face in front of him. She looked deep into Arman's eyes and said. - I dont promise you anything but you know today is 1st of Mehr 8592. Why not travel back only four years ago and discover something which is the most precious thing in the whole wide world. Arman stood puzzled. He didn't have a clue what she was talking about. Mahnaz turned back and left his room. Arman walked towards the window and looked outside. He noticed two birds close together on their nest. He turned back and walked into the Zurvanvand(Time machine). He then set the destination time on 1st of Mehr 8488 and adjusted the destination place to Shiraz.
