About
We are a cultural, non-profit, apolitical team focused on the subject of ancient Persia. The idea of Persian Wonders was founded in 2006 by Sam Jelveh to help learn more about ancient Persia interestingly and effectively.
The history of ancient Iran is changing and updating, and there is much valid and fascinating information coming from archaeology news. Our main activities are introducing ancient Persia via our high-quality reproductions of antiquities (from our collection) along with events about ancient Persia. All our activities are unique to this organization.
Persian Wonders will provide comprehensive and compact information about ancient civilizations on the Iranian plateau. We understand that you never get your answer by going through lots of papers with different opinions. We go through the latest archaeology news and papers and speak to well-known archaeologists to introduce the history correctly. You can feel and interact with ancient history by attending our unique events.
Invited Guest Speakers
Dr François Desset | Richard Dumbrill | Dr Irving Finkel
