The Nuclear Weapons Threats and Humanity


The silver statuette of a seated bull is an exceptionally beautiful ancient artifact from the Early Elamite period of Persia’s ancient civilization. This exquisite piece dates back to approximately 2900–3100 BCE (around 5,000 years ago). The head and limbs of this abstract creature are bovine, while its body is human. The silver seated bull statuette was discovered in southwestern Iran. It stands 16.3 centimeters tall.

The figure wears a distinctive garment featuring a remarkably elegant stepped (terraced) pattern, decorated in a striped design. This mythological being is depicted holding a jug with a pouring spout. Today, the silver seated bull statuette is preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This remarkable artifact, with its patterned attire and the vessel in its hand, represents a fascinating fusion of human and animal traits in the mythology of ancient Persia. Such hybrid depictions of animals in human roles were common in the Early Elamite period and likely symbolized some form of supernatural power bestowed by the gods upon rulers.

Furthermore, the use of silver in this well-known sculpture—crafted during the Bronze Age—reflects not only the admirable artistry of its creators but also the advanced capabilities of ancient Elamite civilization in the extraction and smelting of precious metals.

Persia is the cradle of an ancient civilization, and we Persians are the inheritors of this extraordinary heritage. It is our duty to know it, preserve it, and honor it.

When “I” Becomes “We”

In an era when modern humanity is more than ever caught in the acceleration of life, scattered thoughts, and social disorder, the question of the “path to salvation” has become one of our most recurring individual and collective concerns. Many search for solutions in external changes: in politics, economics, laws, administrative structures, and systems of power. Without doubt, these fields are important; yet there is a deeper truth that is often overlooked amid the noise of daily analysis: society is formed in human beings before it takes shape in institutions; and human beings, before becoming citizens, managers, or political actors, are first members of a family.

Hyperthymesia: The Extraordinary Ability to Remember Almost Every Day of Life

Imagine being able to recall what you ate for breakfast on a random Tuesday ten years ago, what the weather was like, the clothes you wore, and even the conversations you had that day. For most people, memories gradually fade over time. But for a very small number of individuals, this remarkable level of recall is a daily reality. This rare phenomenon is known as Hyperthymesia, or Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM).

Abu Rayhan al-Biruni

Al-Biruni was born in 973 CE near the city of Kath, the capital of Khwarazm (in present-day Uzbekistan).

From an early age, he showed exceptional intelligence and curiosity about mathematics and the natural world. He studied under Abu Nasr Mansur, a renowned mathematician and astronomer from the ruling family of Khwarazm, who introduced him to advanced geometry, astronomy, and the works of Greek scientists such as Euclid and Ptolemy.
