Abstract

In this article, several other Geographical Names from the Shahnameh have been translated into Persian from Davood Munshizadeh's book on the geography of the Shahnameh. The discussed place names in this article include: Mount Sepand, Kalat, Charam, Lādan/Lāyn, Mayam, and Bizhan. The author also examines information from Pahlavi and Avestan books, as well as Persian and Arabic geographical and historical writings, to determine the precise or approximate locations of these places based on the insights provided in the Shahnameh.
