@every.antiquity: The Shahnameh (“Book of Kings”) is a Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi around 1000 CE, telling the mythic, heroic, and historical story of Iran from the creation of the world to the Arab conquest. With over 50,000 verses, it preserved Persian language and identity after the Islamic conquest and remains one of the longest and most influential epic poems ever written. #fyp #iran #art #History #persian
