Ancient Iran gave law to the world

In very ancient times, it was Iran that taught humanity the interweavements of Law with Science and Religion. Zarathushtra, the first Prophet, raised human awareness of the inviolability of religion. He devised into twenty-one Nasks or Holy Books, one third of which were works on Law, one-third Science, and one-third pure Religion. ... Iran can be rightly termed as the cradle of civilization and of being a “Lawgiver”; it has a rich tradition of culture and diversity of thinking.

Iranian history has a very close relationship to near the beginning when humanity started living as a civilised society. The first Iranian rulers were lawgivers. Contrast it to today and one sees the 21st century Iran under clergy as the biggest violator of human rights. Its post-revolution decline from bastion and cradle of civilization to the lowest rung of civilized nation’s ladder is scandalous and disgusting.
