Bushehr
-- Manager of Cultural Heritage Organization (CHO)
of Bushehr province Mohammad Bâgher Abbâsi Samâli
said on Saturday that according to the researches
carried out, traces of the existence of Jâm-e Jam
or Jamshid-Shâh (Yima) or Jâm-e Jahân Namâ
(World Display Grail) was discovered in Jam
district, part of Kangân Township in Bushehr
province.
Abbasi
Samali told IRNA that the initial studies in Jam
district that have been carried out with
participation of an Englishman with Iranian origin
about the historical events in Iran narrated in
Avesta (the Zoroastrians holy book), indicate the
traces of the era of Jamshid-e Jam's (Yima's)
kingdom in this region.
The
researches show that in the mountains overlooking
Jam district, great polished walls in several
points with special angles exist that the lore of
the Jam call them "Charm Âyeneh"
(Leather Mirrors) in their local dialect, he
added. He said that according to the old people of
Jam district, they used to find little pieces of
black glass under these "Charm Ayenehs"
that strengthens this hypothesis.
The
manager of cultural heritage of Bushehr province
reminded that in the studies carried out by this
researcher and Bushehr's cultural heritage
specialists, there is a mountain there called
"Padari" in the local dialect which is
Pardis or Paradise that had been the residence of
Jam and beginning of his kingdom according to
Avesta.
He
said that access to many items of Sasanid era such
as castles, defensive walls and communicating
roads in Jam district all tell tales of the traces
of Jam-e Jahan Nama. In view of the significance
of these discoveries upon coordination with
cultural heritage organization, the primary study
plan with the credit of 25 million rials would
commence on October 23, 2001 by the specialists
and the archaeology team of this organization, he
added.
Manager
of Bushehr province cultural heritage organization
also reminded that in these studies the symbol
discovered in "Padari" mountain
(Paradise) that had probably been the residence of
Jamshid would undergo scrutiny and painstaking
studies and research.
