Farvahar Symbolism
The Faravahar is a prominent Persian symbol, widely worn as a pendant and embraced by Iranians, including Zoroastrians and Kurds, so it has grown into a secular national and cultural emblem. The Faravahar (Persian: فروهر), also known as the Foruhar, is one of the most recognisable symbols of Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian faith.
The Achaemenid Dynasty
The Achaemenid dynasty (Old Persian: Hakhāmanishiya) holds a significant place in history, ruling the Achaemenid Empire from around 700 to 330 BC. The historian Manetho recognised rulers of this dynasty as pharaohs in the Twenty-seventh Dynasty of Egypt, beginning with Cambyses II, who conquered Egypt.
