Airyanem Vaejah

Airyanem Vaejah

Airyanəm Vaējah, which approximately means "expanse of the Aryans, i.e. Iranians" is the "mythical homeland" of early Iranians and a reference in the Zoroastrian Avesta (Vendidad, Farg. 1) to one of Ahura Mazda's "sixteen perfect lands." It is considered the best of places, but on the other hand the Vīdēvdād 1 claims that there are two months of summer there and ten of winter, and it suffers from flooding at the end of winter.
