The History of Iran at Iranologie.com has been a resource for those interested in Iranian history since it was first conceived in 1996. Since then, other pages have been created in the internet that address the same subject. Iranologie.com’s History of Iran page remains unique, however, as it is the work of one person, and it remains a work in progress.
