I mean if you had been around four thousand years, you could tell some stories.
A wee bit of History of Shiraz.
Known as Persia until 1935,
Iran is home to one of the oldest continuous civilizations, having been
inhabited by humans for over 4,000 years. Its location places it along
many vital trade routes, and the plethora of natural resources
contained within its borders have made it a significant trade partner
in both ancient and modern times.
Shiraz is most likely more than 4000 years old. Cuneiform
records from the great ceremonial capital of Persepolis show that Shiraz was a significant
township in Achaemenid times. The
oldest sample of wine in the world, dating to approximately 7000
years ago, was also discovered on clay jars recovered outside of
Shiraz.
The
story of the Shiraz contains many accounts of its origin and how it has
passed on from one nation to another.
