Derek Olson of Megalithic Marvels breaks down the exciting news regarding a cache of strange elongated skulls that have been discovered in southwest Iran. According to one of the lead archaeologists, the concentration of deformed skulls unearthed in grave BG1 is "striking." In this episode, Derek will try to determine if these are the result of cradle head boarding or... genetics.

In this video, I take a look at the genetic origins of contemporary Iranians based on a recent study which contained Iron Age Iranian samples. Similar to the previous videos, this video takes a look at the amount of Iron Age ancestry harbored by modern day Iranian populations, including the Kurds and Azerbaijanis. What is different in this analysis, however, is that I have selected some of the ancient Iron Age Iranian samples which have around 60 to 70% Iran Chalcolithic heritage, and 15 to 23% Proto-Indo-Iranian heritage. These selected samples are from Hasanlu and Tepe Dinkha Tepe. Overall, these samples are likely akin to the ancient Iranian population, residing within Iran, during the Iron Age. Per this analysis, it is evident that modern day Iranians have significant Iron Age Iranian ancestry at around 90% and greater, with the exception of the Iranians from Khorasan. The Kurds also show around the same amount of genetic continuity, which averages out to 95%. Finally, the contemporary Azerbaijanis have a lot less of this ancestry, at around 80%. Nonetheless, all three populations are largely of Iron Age Iranian genetic origins. This latest data refutes the claims made by Jason Reza Jorjani and White Nationalists that the modern day Iranians are heavily admixed with the Turco-Mongol and the Arabs. Overall, Arab, South Asian, Caucasian, and Medieval Turkic ancestry in modern Iranians is at a minimal and does not exceed more than 5 to 10% cumulatively.

Egyptian professor of modern history Mohamed Afifi said in a January 14, 2024 interview on Ten TV (Egypt) that he considers Iran to be an enemy of Egypt. He said that since the times of the ancient Persian Empire, Iran had aspirations to control the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and the trade routes to Europe through the invasion of Egypt.

This one-meter resolution satellite image of Bam, Iran was taken by www.spaceimaging.com/ Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite on Dec. 27, 2003, just one day after a catastrophic earthquake struck the historic city. The image shows widespread destruction as a result of the 6.7 magnitude earthquake that leveled 70 percent of the buildings according to news reports. Clearly seen in this image is the 2,000-year-old citadel, considered the world's largest mud fortress. According to news reports, much of the medieval fortress crumbled like a sand castle when the quake hit. The citadel was a popular tourist attraction and is on the register of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and has been a World Heritage site. Bam is located about 1,000 km (620 miles) southeast of Tehran.

Rabies is a fatal viral disease affecting warm-blooded mammals (bats, carnivores, and ruminants) and even humans. The virus is usually transmitted between humans or other animals through the bite of infected animals. However, there are unusual ways to share the virus, such as organ transplants. Rabies has been known in the ancient world since about 2300 BC. Dogs were commonly known as the leading carriers of the disease. There were strange methods that were sometimes mixed with superstition and thought to treat or prevent rabies effectively. In ancient Iran, rabies was endemic. Scientists such as Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980-1037 AD), Rhazes (Abu Bakr Al-Razi, 964-864 AD), Al-Biruni (970-1050 AD), Jorjani (1042-1136 AD), and Akhawyni Bokhari (913-971 AD) have described rabies, transmission, and treatment methods. This study aimed to present the development history of treatment methods against rabies based on ancient Iran's culture, civilization, and knowledge and examine its progress and development of practical skills against rabies.

After a decade-long hiatus in the years of World War II, archaeological fieldwork was resumed in Iran in 1948. In that year, the Oriental Institute returned to its long tradition of archaeological research by sending Donald McCown to the lowlands of southwestern Iran to conduct a series of surface surveys to find a multi-period site for excavation. For his survey, McCown chose the Ram Hormuz region, southeast of lowland Susiana and the region south and east of the provincial town of Ahvaz down to the Persian Gulf. McCown recorded 118 sites in the Ram Hormuz and Ahvaz areas and eventually chose for excavation the large prehistoric mound complex Tall-e Geser. Three months of excavation in 1948 and 1949 yielded materials that were kept in Chicago for many years. Apart from short articles, the site was never fully published. In Part 1 of this two-part volume, Abbas Alizadeh and colleagues have undertaken a final publication of the site. This task was undertaken because of a number of important considerations. First, the excavations at Geser have been cited as justifying the division of the Uruk period in southwestern Iran into Early, Middle, and Late phases. Second, Geser remains the only systematically excavated site in the Ram Hormuz region — a strategic location between the Susiana and Mesopotamian alluvium and the Zagros highlands of southwestern Iran. Third, Geser has produced a very extensive body of archaeological materials dating to the comparatively less understood proto-Elamite period, roughly the first few centuries of the third millennium bc. And finally, with the exception of a 700-800-year gap following the proto-Elamite phase, Geser remains one of the only sites in the Near East to have a very long and generally uninterrupted depositional sequence, in this case spanning from the fifth millennium BC to the Safavid period. The site’s crucial location, its importance in the archaeological literature, and its long stratigraphic sequence made it imperative that the original excavation results from Geser be published in anticipation of a time when the site can be re-excavated. Part 2 of this volume presents the results of regional surveys conducted in the Ram Hormuz plain from 2005 to 2008, which were undertaken by Alizadeh and colleagues with the goal of understanding the semi-nomadic, mobile component of lowland Susiana and its hinterlands through time.

Originally delivered in 2020 as the Biennial Ehsan Yarshater Lectures, Aspects of Kinship in Ancient Iran is an exploration of kinship in the archaeological and historical record of Iran’s most ancient civilizations. D. T. Potts brings together history, archaeology, and social anthropology to provide an overview of what we can know about the kith and kinship ties in Iran, from prehistory to Elamite, Achaemenid, and Sasanian times. In so doing, he sheds light on the rich body of evidence that exists for kin relations in Iran, a topic that has too often been ignored in the study of the ancient world. “As always with this excellent authority on ancient Iranian history and cultures, D. T. Potts presents five highly innovative essays on forms of kinship and social organization in ancient Iran from the Elamites to the Sasanians that are full of new ideas and suggestions for further research.” — Josef Wiesehöfer, Professor Emeritus of Ancient History and Classics, University of Kiel, and author of Ancient Persia: From 550 BC to 650 AD
