Technology of water in ancient Iran from prehistory to the Islamic Golden Age
Maybe a bit off topic but it's always strange when someone says "Islamic Golden Age" when talking about Iran. Nothing against a specific religion. It's like saying Newton's work came during Christian Golden Age in Europe. The religion had nothing to do with it. In fact, there is a book [1] (in Persian) title "Two Centuries of Silence" that talks about the significant blow to Iran's culture, literature and science after Arab invasion [2] that it took two hundred years to somehow get back on track.<p>[1] <a href="https://web.sas.upenn.edu/persian/2018/09/06/talk-two-centuries-of-silence-abdulhossein-zarrinkoub-and-the-formation-of-iranian-national-identity/" rel="nofollow">https://web.sas.upenn.edu/persian/2018/09/06/talk-two-centur...</a><p>[2] Since I've mentioned this, I need to add that the focus of my statement is the nature of such "invasion" and not a certain ethnicity. No malicious intent here. If you are an Arab and reading this, hello neighbors! with love from Iran :)
