Iran is geologically located on one of the most important mineral belts in the world. This wealth explains its rapid progress, since the sixth millennium BC. The history spans thousands of years, from the ancient cultures of the Iranian plateau, such as the ancient civilization of Jiroft in Kerman province and Shahr-i Sokhteh ("the burnt city" ) in the province of Sistan-and-Baluchistan, to the Parthians, to the Sassanids and to the current Islamic Republic.
