Prominent Iranian Archeologist Passed Away
Alireza Shahpur Shahbazi, the prominent Iranian archeologist and founder of
Institute of Achaemenid Research, passed away on 16th of July 2006 in the United
States after 9 months of struggling with cancer.
One of the last contribution of Prof. Shahbazi: "Persepolis Recreated
DVD/Book: As it was 2500 years ago"
Tehran -- Alireza Shahpur Shahbazi, Iranian prominent archeologist and
researcher passed away last Sunday and this way Iran lost one of its greatest
archeologists who was dubbed "the father of scientific archeology in Iran" by
some of his colleagues and was known as a pioneering figure in studies about the
Achaemenid history. Before he was afflicted with cancer with which he fought for
nine months before giving up to this deadly disease, he served as the Advisor to
the Director of Pars-e Pasargadae Research Center and brought a lot of
fundamental changes and developments in this Research Center, which reflects his
deep love towards Iran and its ancient history. Shahbazi published a large
number of books in archeology which will be used as valuable resources in
archeology forever.
Dr. Shahbazi was one of the most prominent experts in the history of the Achaemenid dynasty who put a lot of effort for understanding one of the most prosperous periods of Persian history. He compiled several books and wrote hundreds of essays on the Achaemenids during his precious lifetime.
He founded the Institute of Achaemenid Research at Persepolis in 1973 and served as its director until 1978. He taught a variety of courses on Iranian culture, art history, historiography, ancient history, women of the classical world, and the Middle East at different universities including University of Tehran, Goettingen, Columbia, Harvard, and Eastern Oregon. He attended the West Point Military Academy in 1978 and taught Military History for the ROTC and the National Guard.
Dr. Shahbazi was a gifted person who had enormous ability for learning. He had a B.A. in history from Shiraz University (1963); M.A. in Western Asiatic Archeology from University of London (1968); Ph.D. in archeology from University of London (1973); Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Iranian Historiography from Goettingen University (1983); and certificate of training from ROTC Workshop of Military Academy in West Point. In addition to all these qualifications, he was familiar with eight languages including Persian and Old Persian, English, German, had a reading knowledge of French, Greek, Arabic, and Aramaic.
Being a prolific scholar, his publications include 16 books and some 180 articles in learned journals and scholarly publications, notably the Encyclopedia Iranica. Of his books, Cyrus the Great won the Book of the Year prize in 1976; Persepolis was translated into German and French; and Ferdowsi: A critical Biography was published by Harvard University (1991). He also edited the first volume of the book entitled "Splendor of Iran" in 2002 which covers the art and culture of pre-Islamic Iran, and last year he was the gust commentator in two documentary programs by BBC and Discovery Channel.
His departure left archeologists and many who appreciate his contributions to Persian history in a deep grief. "With the death of Dr. Shahbazi, we lost one of our key experts in the field of archeology. He loved Iran by all his soul. Although he had to live abroad during the recent years and worked with foreign universities, he never cut his relation with his home country. He was a very studious scholar especially in researching about the Achaemenid dynasty and he continued his studies in this field until the end of his life", said Masoud Azarnoush, the former director of Iran’s Archeology Research Center.
The Cultural and Scientific Society of Fars province has suggested that the funeral ceremony of this great scholar be held in Hafezieh (the surrounding area of the tomb of Persian poet, Hafez) after his body is transferred to Iran. "Hafezieh is the only place where the bodies of many scientific and cultural figures of Fars province have been laid. Therefore, we will try to hold the funeral ceremony of Dr. Shahbazi in this place as well", said Dr. Jamshid Sedaghat Kish, archeologist and professor of Shiraz University. This way Dr. Shahbazi would forever rest in peace near the place which was once used to be the capital of the Achaemenid Empire, i.e. Persepolis, on which he conducted intense studies during his lifetime.

Abuse Issues and IP Addresses
http://www.iana.org/faqs/abuse-faq.htm
APNIC is one of five Regional Internet Registries in the world. It is a
not-for-profit, membership organisation, responsible for distributing and registering
Internet address resources throughout the Asia Pacific region.
APNIC is responsible for Internet Protocol (IP) address space (both IPv4 and IPv6),
Autonomous System (AS) numbers, and "in-addr.arpa" domain delegations.
http://www.apnic.net/info/faq/apnic_faq/about_apnic.html
APNIC is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific region. The APNIC
Whois Database holds details of IP address registrations within this region.
You are welcome to use this database to track down the source of the network abuse
and find contact details of the relevant network administrators.
Many software products used to detect network abuse are designed to only search the
ARIN Whois Database. But IP addresses are registered by five RIRs on a regional basis
and the ARIN database is not definitive for the whole world. It only covers the IP
ranges not held by the other four RIRs (RIPE NCC, LACNIC, AfriNIC and APNIC).

Also, please be aware that there are two major types of whois databases. One type
contains records on domain names and the other contains IP address records. The APNIC
Whois Database contains IP address records. http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl
