Notes & Condition: This is an exceptional report detailing the author's journey into little-known Luristan and her facinating archeaological findings. She travelled from Nihavand over the Varazan Pass to Khava, then to Alishtar and back again though Khava to Difan, Chavarti, Duliskan and finally to Tudaru. In 1931 Stark had attempted to reach the middle of Luristan, the country of Tarhan east of the Saidmarreh river, where ancient tombs were rich in bronzes, but she was prevented entry by the Persian Police. Excerpt from the text: "I have written elsewhere the account of the actual travelling and its adventures, and will confine myself to what concerns the graves and their possible history. Special interest has been centred on those graves which are said to contain the trappings of horses and chariots, for the origins of the people who used such things may throw light on the coming of the horse into Persia.... I found a few older objects among the Islamic in Alishtar: some glass beads, silver earrings of the usual Luristan type, and a bronze arrow-head; but could not ascertain the exact spot where they had been found."

Trained as an orientalist and archaeologists, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. This expedition took him into the heart of Persia, modern day Iran. Iran has a long and rich history, with some of the most famous conquerors and war lords ever to dominate the continent of Asia. Some of the world's most ancient settlements have been excavated in the Caspian region and on the Iranian plateau; village life began there c.4000 B.C. The Aryans came about 2000 B.C. and split into two main groups, the Medes and the Persians. The Persian Empire founded (c.550 B.C.) by Cyrus the Great was succeeded, after a period of Greek and Parthian rule, by the Sassanid in the early 3d century A.D. Their control was weakened when Arab invaders took (636) the capital, Ctesiphon; it ended when the Arabs defeated the Sassanid armies at Nahavand in 641. With the invasion of Persia the Arabs brought Islam. The Turks began invading in the 10th century. and soon established several Turkish states. The Turks were followed by the Mongols, led by Jenghiz Khan in the 13th century and Timur in the late 14th century.
