Cypress Of Kashmar
The Cypress of Kashmar was a cypress tree regarded as sacred to followers of Zoroastrianism. According to the Iranian epic ''Shahnameh'', the tree had grown from a branch Zoroaster had carried away from Paradise and which he planted in honor of King Vishtaspa's conversion to Zoroastrianism in Kashmarbalkh. The spreading branches of the tree are used as an allusion to the spread of Zoroaster's creed. On 10 December 861 AD, Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil ordered the tree be felled and transported to his capital in Samarra where its wood would be used as beams for his new palace. The villagers who lived near the tree pleaded with the caliph and offered money for its protection, to no avail. But one day before the cypress trees arrived, the caliph was killed by his own slaves. The palace and its spiral minaret still stand today. See also * Adur Burzen-Mihr Adur Burzen-Mihr (Middle Iranian) or Azar Barzin ( fa, آذر برزین) was an ''Atash Bahram'' (a Zoroastrian fire t ...

The start and end of the three ages varies between world regions. In many regions the Bronze Age is generally considered to begin a few centuries prior to 3000 BC, while the end of the Iron Age varies from the early first millennium BC in some regions to the late first millennium AD in others.
