2. The Saadabad Palace is a palace built by the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran in the Shemiran area of Tehran. The complex was first inhabited by Qajar monarchs and royal family in the 19th century. After an expansion of the compounds, Reza Shah lived there in the 1920s. And his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi moved there in the 1970s. After the Iranian Revolution, the complex became a museum. However, the current presidential palace is located adjacent to the Sa'd Abad compound. Complexul de palate Saadabad din cartierul Shemiran din Teheran a fost locuit de monarhii dinastiei Qajar şi familia regală în secolul XIX. După extinderea şi reamenajarea palatelor Reza Shah a locuit acolo din 1920. Şi fiul său, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi şi-a stabilit reşedinţa acolo în 1970. După revoluţia iraniană, complexul a devenit un muzeu. Palatul prezidenţial actual este situat adiacent acestui complex Tehran

8. Arash or Arash-e Kamängir (Arash the Archer) or ArashTirandäz is a heroic archer-figure of Iranian oral tradition and folklore. Arash was a mythological and legendary Persian archer (based on ancient real story) who put his soul into his arrow to save his country. Arash Arcaşul este un erou legendar Iranian, figură mitologică persană, (a cărui poveste transmisă prin tradiţie orală se bazează pe un fapt istoric), care şi-a pus sufletul într-o săgeată pentru a-şi salva ţara.

9. The basic story of the bowman runs as follows: In a bloody war between the Iranians and non-Iranians (Turanians) the two sides agree to make peace and reach an agreement that whatever land falls within the range of a bow-shot shall be returned to the Iranians, and the rest should then fall to the Aniranians. De fapt legenda Arcaşului se referă la sfârşitul unui sângeros război al Persiei cu Turanul. Atunci când beligeranţii au hotărât să facă pace, au ajuns la un acord privind cedarea teritoriului: Turanul va restitui sau ceda Iranului tot pământul situat până la limita de demarcaţie stabilită de distanţa la care va ajunge săgeata trasă de un arcaş iranian

12. On 13th day of Tir, Arash climbed the Alborz Mountains, stood on its highest peak Damavand (highest summit of the Iranian plateau), put his soul into his arrow and fired it towards Turan with all his might, then collapsed and died. The arrow traveled from dawn till noon over an unimaginably great distance till finally landed somewhere near Amu Darya (Oxus River) and marked the border between Iran and Turan. În ziua de 13 a lunii Tir, Arash a urcat în munţii Alborz, pe cel mai înalt vârf, Damavand, şi-a pus sufletul în săgeată şi a tras-o spre Turan, cu toată puterea lui, apoi s-a prăbuşit şi a murit. Săgeata a călătorit din zori până la amiază pe o distanţă neînchipuit de mare şi a aterizat undeva lângă Amu Darya (Oxus River) marcând astfel graniţa dintre Iran şi Turan.

13. That was a joyful moment for the Iranians as they even gained more lands than before. The event which was coincided with the pouring of the rain is ever since celebrated as Jashn-e Tiragan or Tirgan. Arashkamangir (Arash the Archer) sacrificed his life for his country and became a legend whose name and memory's still alive. The name Arash and Mearic remains of the most popular names among Persian speakers in Iran. Bucuria a fost mare pentru că iranienii au câştigat chiar mai mult teren decât înainte de război. Evenimentul, care a coincis cu începerea ploii, este încă sărbătorit ca Jashn-e Tiragan sau Tirgan. Arash kamangir (Arash Arcaşul) care şi-a sacrificat viaţa pentru ţara sa a devenit o legendă care a supravieţuit. Arash este şi astăzi unul dintre numele cele mai populare în rândul persanilor din Iran.
