City of Yazd in Iran has entered into Unesco’s list of World Heritage Sites.  History of ancient Iran is as same as the history of ancient India where Persians were known as Barsians or the ‘Elders’ to the ancient scholars; name of Iran has been derived from Aruna or Aruneh of the Bible which is the other name for ‘Sun’. Yazd identifies Zered of the Bible and Mt Zaradhira of Indian puranas. Persians’ ancient identity is hidden in the name of Jara, the ‘first’ worshipper or the priest who was living in this mountain near the seacoast and it was a place in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. Ahura Mazda whose birthplace was at Sheez identifies ‘Sri’ or ‘Sri-kshetra’. His other name is Sage Mogha, father of Sage Kasyapa from which name of Caspian Sea originated.

City of Yazd identifies Isfahan which is as same as Isi-patana in Uruvela or Ur of Buddhist texts where the Buddha preached his First Sermon.  It is most essential that the scholars of Zend Avesta should first identify the Sixteen Good-Lands of Avesta in order to trace their original land. Name of Darius is found in Tibetan Dulva as Durdasa; his summer palace at Ekbatana can be seen through Alexander’s India invasion accounts as well as in the Bible also. How this name is seen in the present day Malaysia?
