Tehran to host seminar on Assyrian Kingdom’s influence in Iran and the Middle East
TEHRAN — The History and Antiquities Group at the Iranian Humanitarian House will host a seminar on 10 August focusing on the history of Beth Nahrin (Mesopotamia), the Syriac (Aramean–Assyrian–Chaldean) people, and the Assyrian Kingdom.

During the seminar, panelists will present their research findings, and the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions. Among the speakers is Kamyar Abdi, who will discuss the historic relationship between Syriacs Arameans–Assyrians–Chaldeans) and Persians, as well as documents and literature written by Syriacs (Arameans–Assyrians–Chaldeans) about Iranian history.
The seminar will also highlight Iranian locations with a Syriac (Aramean–Assyrian–Chaldean) character and how these places were managed in the past when the Assyrian Kingdom was a significant power.
