An 18-book children’s series that takes young readers inside real archaeological sites across the Iranian Plateau. Written by a working archaeologist for kids ages 3–12.
Set at Shahr-e Sukhteh (the Burnt City)
Aryan and Ariana travel to the Burnt City and discover the world's first animation — painted on a 5,200-year-old goblet. Real archaeology for kids 3–12.
Set at Tepe Sang-e Chakhmagh
Aryan finds a flute in his school music room and travels back to the ancient bone flutes of early Persia. A real-archaeology adventure for kids ages 3–12.
Set at Susa
Aryan and Ariana travel to ancient Susa and discover a clay toy shaped by a child six thousand years ago — proof that kids have always played. A real-archaeology adventure.
Each book in the series visits a different archaeological site on the Iranian Plateau — from the Burnt City of Shahr-e Sukhteh to the ziggurat of Chogha Zanbil. Every artifact, every site, every detail is grounded in real research by the author, a working archaeologist.
For kids, the result is adventure. For parents and teachers, it’s history they can actually trust.
What a beautiful way to teach future generations about Persian history! Growing up in the US, in elementary school they only taught us about the Islamic revolution and hostage crisis. I'm happy to see more about our history translated in English.
Each adventure takes young readers to a different archaeological site, uncovering the wonders of ancient civilization.
