A ccording to the very old sources from many years Before Christine, "Persian Gulf" is a remained name and has been connected to Iranian land.

At the time which human history has been written, and geography became a science for measuring surfaces, inquiry and studying on ancient periods, the name of "Persian Gulf" was one the 4 known seas. In old Greek’s belief the source of these 4 seas was from a unique huge ocean which equivalent extent all waters of the world.

Before any epigraphs from Iranian governors that delivered speeches about "Persian Sea", most histories even non-Iranian ones were named this water area as "Persia".

On Pythagoras itinerary from 570 B.C. we can see "Persian Gulf" or other similar names in other languages at all written documents.

"Persian Gulf", "Sinus Persicus" or etc., are different names for this blue area. It is clear that since human began civilized, this name invested to this zone. So, there is no other word to explanatory this place.

Based on these, Iranology Foundation has planning to arrange an International Congress on "Persian Gulf".

We hope to be capable of providing opportunities for researchers and Iranologists, to participate actively, and to share their views with other colleagues during the meetings held.
