Bi-Sotoon (also as Bisotun or Bisutun) means the place of the gods. This historical area, more than 4000 years old, shines like a gem on the slopes of Bi-Sotoon mountain. Located in Kermanshah Province, Iran, it used to be a nearly as important transportation route as Babylon Road and Silk Road. The region drew the attention of many kings across dynasties as a strategic area for their glory and power. The area incorporates many historical monuments and stone inscriptions, with Dariush Achaemenashi's inscription (known as DNa) as the most notable one, which was added to the UNESCO's World Monuments in 2013. Besides its historical aspects, Bi-Sotoon has had a great impact on Persian literature and is remembered as a holy mountain among Iranians. These influences can be found in the works of the 13th-century poet, Nizami Ganjavi, in which Farhad's love for Shirin is told. This beautiful site has witnessed many great dynasties, wars and events, holding many folk tunes and stories which can be a great inspiration for artists of all disciplines.
