My name is Théo, I am 26 and come from Switzerland. I came to Iran for my master thesis in social geography. I am mainly staying in Tehran this time, but I already came to Iran three years ago: I arrived from Turkey to Tabriz, went up to the Azerbaijan border, then down east to Tehran. Then I went to Kurdistan, which I loved, and then to the more "classic route": Esfahan, Yazd, Shiraz and Kashan, with a stop in Dasht-e-Kavir.
I really like Iran firstly for its people, who are very welcoming and interesting, and of course the landscapes and architecture are super impressive. I know Iranian people are very proud of their food too, but as a vegetarian it's sometimes hard to get something else than kashka bademjun and falafels.

Experience of pottery🇮🇷
The history of Iran Pottery goes back into ancient time. When agriculture came into existence and cultivation started on Iran’s plateau by me primitive races of this land, people made utensils of killed clay in order to meet their needs.
Fingerprints of primitive natives of Iran can be seen on these earthenware. The first earthenware were two kinds, black utensils and red ones, both of these had very simple construction.
Gradually, simple earthenware, were being decorated by geometric designs. Studying these designs shows us that Iranians were very skillful in making designed earthenware and represented these designs in a very lively and beautiful manner. Iran could be called the main birth place of designed earthenware utensils. Designing earthenware in Iran started about 4 thousand years BC. The earthenware belonging to four thousand year BC had been killed more carefully in newly made kilns. The shapes and forms of these earthen’s show that, invention of the pottery rotating machine must have been done in that time.
The artists by using this new machine made different kinds of utensils like: piped pots, bowls and jars for storage of corns and grains. Among excavated earthen’s belonging to this age, some primitive earthen statues in the form of animals and birds were found which were used more ornamentally rather than anything else.

The important historical castle has been the seat of Gilan governments for a long time. It is said to date back to the Sassanid period and after destruction, it has been rebuilt under the Seljuk rule. It was a base for Ishmaelite clan and was used by local rulers up to the Zand dynasty. Thereafter, it was abandoned. The exact date of its construction, however, is still a mystery. Since Fouman has been the seat of Gilan government for a long time (after Eshaqvand dynasty) the castle has gained more in importance. Unreliable stories have it that Mirza Kouchak Khan Jangali has taken shelter there for a period of three years. There is a plaque on its entrance which reads, “This castle has been built for Sultan Hesamoddin Amir Dabbaj between 918 and 921 AH”. The castle is located 25 km southwest of Fouman City, which is part of Gurabpas Mountains, The castle has an area of 2.6 hectares and is located on the heights overlooking Rudkhan village.

In the past, there has been a spring inside the castle, which was used by the inhabitants when they were under siege.
