Tehran – Siraf, a historic port in Iran’s southern Busher province along the Persian Gulf, has global storytelling and deeply overlooked connections.
Decades ago, Japanese animators gathered inspiration from the ancient maritime heritage of sobering to create popular animated stories of captivating audiences both in Iran and around the world.
The cartoon character of Sinbad and his constant bird Sheila is based entirely on the Iranian sorption port. The story was inspired by the biographies of the famous Iranian sailor Sinbad Bali. Sheila’s name comes from the ancient name of Shiraf Port, Irna wrote.
Sindbad Bahri was one of the 42 Iranian sailors at Siraf Port and sailed through the seas stretching from Bushehr to China by range and yacht.
Many Iranians regarded Sinbad as an Arabic character because of the Japanese animation that flourished in Arab countries, and Sinbad’s character was recorded in their minds in their names.
Suleiman was originally a 9th century Muslim merchant, traveler and writer from Sylph, modern Iran. He traveled to China and its west, known before Marco Polo, and his travelogue was called “Akhbar al-sin wa al-hind,” which he wrote in Arabic, and is currently kept in the Louvre Museum in France, translated into six living languages of the world. He was another Sylph Sailor.
Siraf? Mohammad Kangani, head of the Pars Museum Institute NGO, said 17,000 ancient works related to Siraf are kept at the London Museum.
He said the Sylph Museum is currently over 2,000 square meters. “We’re going to turn it into a smart museum.”
Kangani continued that if the sorption is registered globally, it will be the first to prove the name of the Persian Gulf. This takes the lead from the Arab countries adjacent to the Persian Gulf.
He proposed to launch the Persian Gulf and the Silaf Research Institute near the Silaf Museum. This will allow students to publish their papers in the Persian Gulf and the Silaf, and use scientific and historical resources.
An ancient port in the Persian Gulf, Shiraf was the major trade hub of the pre-Islamic and early Islamic periods, connecting Iran to distant regions such as China, India and East Africa.
Sylph was Iran’s most important port from the Sassanid period until the AH of the 4th century. It has abundant evidence of Persian mastership and genius in its interactions with sailors, international relations, and other nearby cultures and civilizations.
Between 1966 and 1973, the Persian Institute in the UK conducted seven seasons of excavation and investigation at sober. It was a major city on the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf and played a leading role in the network of maritime trade that supplied products from Western West Asia, Far East Africa and Far East Africa for 1050.
