The knowledge of the ancient Iranians about the roundness of the earth
Frattori of the Sassanid Shapur II silver statue, where you see the world with its orbits on its crown
The rotation of the earth around the sun and its sphericity, although it is a known subject today and everyone believes in it, but until a few hundred years ago it was an unknown subject for the Europeans and they thought the earth was fixed because the sun revolved around it.. Due to their unfamiliarity with religious and scientific books and sources from other parts of the world, they thought that for the first time Galileo was able to discover this issue and correct this mistake.. While this topic was mentioned in Avesta several thousand years ago.
In the Avesta Bible, the roundness of the earth and its rotation have been discussed several times and it has been expressed with the word "skarna" which means round and spherical..
It is also stated in "Aban Yasht" section 38 that: "Nariman Garshasab wished to run around the coast on this wide and round land and defeat the enemy"
And also in the 95th part of "Mehrisht", the seal is mentioned and it is stated that: "The seal comes to the earth every evening and at the beginning of the night and goes around the two sides of this wide earth."
Even Ferdowsi, who lived almost 500 years before Galileo, mentioned the roundness of the earth in Shahnameh
The world is full of wonders, and one's own wonder must first be measured by oneself
Other than that around Let Sepehr make you new every day
This issue shows well the long-standing knowledge of Iranians about Giti and Earth. Iranians, even the Nimrozi orbits (Mid day) They had designed around the earth and the starting center was the city of Nimroz. ( which is now one of the cities of Afghanistan) Today, Western colonists refer to Greenwich as the time reference instead of the Meridian city.
The balloon on Shapur's crown is called "turban", which is an old hat of Indian-Chinese-Mongolian kings and is an imitation.. Bazarov said with sarcasm on the heavenly gaze of the "fathers".: "My great-grandfather and good men were plowing the land" which indicated a realistic and earthly view and an irony against the heavenly "golden chariot".
Greetings.
The discussion of the central sun and the roundness of the earth are two separate issues. In the west, the hypothesis of the roundness of the earth in Ptolemy's encyclopedia (Second century AD) It is proposed that in this model the earth is the center of the universe and this theory until the century 15 The Gregorian calendar was accepted until Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model…
And in Iran, there is a model of the central sun and the spherical earth from the documents of ancient times.
Greetings to the Iranians

With this great background, being Arab and Western is not the same as Iran and Iranian …

But nothing is eternal. Ahura Mazda is the protector of Iran and Iranians.
