Boran dokht [590 - 632 A.D]

Boran dokht was the first empress of the sassanid (persia) empire. She was the daughter of king khosrow II and byzantine princess Maria.

Although her two tenures of rule were shortlived, she did try to bring stability to persia by the implementation of just laws, reconstruction of the infrastructure, and by lowering taxes and minting coins. Diplomatically, she desired good relations with her western neighbours (the byzantinnes) , whom she had an embassy sent to, which was well received by emperor heraclius

A/n: idk why but it kinda reminds me of sibylla's ceremonial crown >_<...

The workers working on a routine road construction project near Shahr-e Belqeys (City of Belqeys) in northeast Iran made an unexpected discovery.

Shahr-e Belqeys is a castle located in Esfarayen County in North Khorasan Province, Iran. The fortress dates back to the Sasanian Empire. It is the second largest adobe fort in Iran after the UNESCO-registered Bam Fortress. Belqeys archaeological site has an area of over 51,000 square.

“The total length of those corridors is 18 km, and there is a bathroom and a mill on the way."

Construction of this man-made subterranean city, called Ouee (or Ouyi), dates back to the Sasanian (or Neo-Persian) Empire that ruled from 224 to 651. Inhabitants would dig underground chambers as hideout spots for women, children, and the elderly in the event of an attack by foreign invaders.
