Do you know who Abu Ali Sina was?
Abu Ali Sina is the most famous Iranian doctor in the world.
He was called omniscient because of his contemporary sciences such as mathematics, astronomy, physics,
chemistry, psychology, geology and geography, poetry and literature, philosophy and medical
logic.
This scientist's law book is one of the most famous works in the history of medicine and
has been translated and published in about 14 languages.
The first tourist attraction that can be easily found in Hamedan is the tomb of Bu Ali Sina.
This structure is mentioned as a symbol of this city and is one of the signs of Iran's
antiquity in world culture, knowledge and science.
The building of this tomb is located in one of the main squares of Hamedan and stands
out in the center of this city.
The soaring columns of this tomb along with the granite stone used in its facade have
shown a special glory and grandeur and have given a special beauty to this part of the
city.
The name of this building was included in the national monuments of Iran in 1997 and
as one of the landmarks of Hamedan, it welcomes many tourists.
The tomb of Bu Ali Sina is not just a tomb and has different sections to visit, which
we see below: Here in front of the entrance, you can see
the tomb of Abolghasem Aref Qazvini.
Here is the south hall of Ibn Sina's tomb, which has been considered as a museum since
1330 and is dedicated to the storage of coins, pottery, bronze and other discovered objects
related to the millennia BC and the Islamic era.
This museum is also dedicated to the introduction of the character of Bu Ali Sina and medicine.
Here we can visit the tomb of Ibn Sina.
Another tomb in this tomb is the tomb of a friend of Ibn Sina, which can be seen to the
left of his tomb.
The second spectacular attraction of Hamedan is Babataher's tomb known as Babataher Eryan.
Babataher Tomb has a lot of cultural value both from the architectural point of view
and from the historical background and literary position of Babataher.
Babataher Eryan is a famous Iranian poet, mystic and poetess who lived during the Seljuk
period.
Babataher used to express things bluntly and that is why he was called "naked".
The tomb of this great poet is located in the north of Hamedan, in Babataher Square.
Babataher's main tomb dates back to the Seljuk period.
At that time, a brick and octagonal building was built on Babataher's tomb, which was destroyed
over time.
Another building was built there during the Pahlavi era; As for the new building that
was built in 1344.
Baba Taher's tomb was one of the architectural masterpieces in its time, the main design
of which is taken from the 7th and 8th lunar architectures.
In the inner courtyard of the 24 two-bit tomb, it is engraved on 24 beautiful pieces of stone,
and in the lower part, it is installed around the inner courtyard of the tomb.
This building was registered in 1997 in the historical and national monuments of Iran.
The third place of interest in Hamedan is the tourist village of Ganjnameh, which consists
of ancient and tourism sections.
With its many and unique entertainment facilities, this complex is ready to receive domestic
and foreign tourists to engrave a sweet and memorable travel experience in people's minds.
Ganjnameh tourist village is located five kilometers from Hamedan city, in Ganjnameh
square and next to the ancient inscriptions and Ganjnameh waterfall.
This village in 1379 on the northern slopes of the Alvand Mountains has created a model
tourist area.
This promenade consists of ancient and tourist parts.
Ganjnameh complex is one of the strongest tourism hubs in Iran and the Middle East and
has become a member of the World Tourism Organization.
The ancient inscriptions of Ganjnameh are located in the southwest of Hamadan, at a
distance of five kilometers from the city.
These inscriptions are located at the end of the green valley of Abbasabad and at the
beginning of the road from Hamedan to Tuyserkan on one of the rocks of Alvand.
This road is the same caravan route that existed during the Achaemenid period and Darius and
Xerxes crossed it with their troops and companions.
Since this route was one of the main branches of the royal road that connected Hegmataneh,
the summer capital of the Achaemenids, to Babylon, it was one of the busiest and safest
roads of that time.
For this reason, the Achaemenid kings saw this place as a good place to engrave these
inscriptions and to remind them of the greatness of their ancestors and to spread their beliefs
and ideas.
The plate on the left, which is a little higher, is called Darius the Great, and the plate
on the lower right is called Xerxes, and each of these three texts is written in twenty
lines, and their content is the same in both tablets.
These writings are written in cuneiform.
Around these two inscriptions, there are regular holes on the stones that indicate that in
the past, there were metal doors and covers to protect them from wind, rain and sun.
Great is Ahuramazda, who created this earth, who created that heaven, who created the people,
who created happiness for the people, who made Darius king, a king among many, a ruler
among many.
I am Darius, the great king, the king of kings, the king of lands of various races, the king
of distant lands.
Ganjnameh waterfall with a height of 12 meters is located on the way to the heights of Alvand
mountain and next to Ganjnameh inscriptions.
This waterfall has permanent water and flows in winters.
The Ganjnameh waterfall and the lush valleys of Abbasabad in the Achaemenid era were the
beginning of the Hegmataneh road, which connected Hegmataneh to Kermanshah, Lorestan, Persepolis
and Fars through twists and turns.
This road has also been one of the communication routes from Hamedan to the west and south
of the country.
Due to the fact that Hegmataneh was the summer capital of the Achaemenids and was located
on the royal road, Darius I of the Achaemenid dynasty ordered the current inscription of
the treasury after the completion of the stone works of Biston.
After him, his son Xerxes Shah left an inscription following him, a little lower than his father's
inscription.
