Ferdows Garden ((ペルシア語:باغ فردوس – Bāq e Ferdows)) is a historical complex in Tajrish, Shemiran, Northern Tehran, between Zafaraniyeh and Jafar Ābād. It is a complex consisting of two palaces of which the former has decayed.〔Dehkhoda Dictionary, Third Edition (Tehran University Press, 2006).〕 Since 2002, the remained palace houses the Cinema Museum of Iran.〔(Official Website of the Cinema Music of Iran ).〕 ==Etymology== The Achaemenid Dynasty built over the entire empire, especially in Anatolia, ''pairi-daēza''s, or "paradises," which consisted of extensive gardens and parks. According to OED, as well as Dehkhoda Dictionary, Xenophon was the first to use the word ''paradeisos'' in the meaning of "enclosed park," "orchard," or "pleasure ground." Dehkhoda states that the Hebrew word ''pārdēs'' entered into this language in the 5th century BC, following the arrival of Jews in Babylon. In the sections of the Old Testament that predate this arrival, the notions of "heaven" and "hell" are not specific; only later has ''pārdēs'', originally meaning "garden" and "orchard," been endowed with the spiritual meaning that is signified by this word (as well as ''paradise'') in later times, up to the present date. Dehkhoda notes that ''pārdēs'' has been used synonymously as the Hebrew word ''gān'' in the meaning of "Garden of Eden." He continues that the word ''ferdows'', used twice in Qur'an, has its root in Judaism and Christianity, and that the Islamic scholars are generally united in considering that the word ''ferdows'' has been used in Qur'an in the meaning of "garden" and "orchard." There is, however, no consensus amongst these scholars as to the nature of this place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferdows Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
