You guys can find a wealth of information on this webiste, http://tehrannama.blogfa.com/, the only catch being that you have to be able to read Farsi.

Hello everyone,

I have been thinking about something Dr. Ghomshei said during his presentation regarding Iranian Mythology and how our Language and Culture are intertwined with our Art and Architecture. I happened to come across this article in Hamshahri Newspaper which is relevant to that subject. Unfortunately it is in Farsi, and it is way too long to translate. If anyone is terribly interested, I’d be more than happy to give you a brief translation.
