Gulashkird also known as Faryjab or Paryjab or Valashgird〔Lewis Vance Cummings, Alexander the Great (Grove Press, 2004)(page 402 ).〕 was an important town in Kerman provence of Iran during the Middle Ages as a station on the trade routes from The Persian Gulf and Persia to India and also into Central Asia.〔E. H. Warmington, The Commerce Between the Roman Empire and India (CUP Archive, 2014) ( page 24 ).〕 Today the town lies at modern Faryjab, a small village north east of Bandar Abbas, south of Jiroft and 50 km north of Mantijan, near the town of Manujan and the Rudkhanah i Duzdi River. Historically the town was a strongly fortified town with a castle known as Kftshah and was serviced by quanats that allowed the area to grow Indigo,〔(Lands of the Eastern Caliphate ).〕 Oranges and Date Palms〔Guy Le Strange, The Lands of the Eastern Caliphate: Mesopotamia, Persia, and Central Asia from the Moslem Conquest to the Time of Timur (Cosimo, Inc., 2010)( page 318 ).〕 and Grain〔E. Yarshater, ''The Cambridge History of Iran: Seleucid Parthian'' (Cambridge University Press, 1983) (pazge 173 ).〕 It was mentioned by Arab geographers Mukaddasi and Yakut〔Yakut (iv, 939)〕 and Marco Polo.〔(Travels of Marco Polo Vol2 ).〕〔The travels of Marco Polo vol 1, chapter16.〕 The village has been suggested〔G. Le Strange, The Lands of the Eastern Caliphate, Cambridge University Press 2011. ( page 317 )〕 as a possible location for the lost city of Alexandria Carmania, founded by Alexander the Great months before he died in Babylon.〔Lewis Vance Cummings, Alexander the Great (Grove Press, 2004)(page 402 ) p402〕 Indeed Greekpottery has been found in the area.〔Sir Percy Molesworth Sykes, A History of Exploration from the Earliest Times to the Present Day, Taylor & Francis, 1949〕 ==References== 〔 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「Gulashkird, Iran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
