Chapter 1: Part 1
An Ice-capped mountain range
At a glance, the land of Pahlavi may look like a terrible, unt-
ting place to live, yet so beautiful and magnicent. This
place seems like a land frozen in time. Food sources seem
empty and will freeze in the snow before anyone can make a
shelter. The mountain ranges go far as the eye can see. This
high-range mountain is all sprinkled in snow and ice, like fro-
zen clouds in the sky. The only little life there is, seems to be
only pine trees and various snow animals. These animals in-
clude snow leopards, wolves, and brown bears. All these ani-
mals are very wild and can kill people easily. The high alti-
tude mountain range makes the air incredibly thin. The sub-

zero winds that can make anyone develop hypothermia. This
makes this environment a very hard place to be. The only wa-
ter supply is frozen, but there is large supply of it. The main
problem of that is it requires heat to melt down to drinkable
water, and its too cold for a re. As night falls and the moon
rises above the horizon, the area becomes incredibly cold, and
the wind will slam ice and snow in every direction. The pine
trees scent is very strong which smells is refreshing and crisp,
but perhaps the only scent to be had. The high altitude range is
a very silent place to be. Occasionally, someone might hear the
loud noise of wind blowing, especially the night or subtle
sound of wolves howling in the distance. This is a dangerous,
cold, yet magnicent place to be. The challenge is to overcome
it

This book will be exploring the cultures, religion, modica-
tions, and laws of this civilization, Pahlavi. It also will
compare it to past ideas, and beliefs. These past ideas
come from Greece, Rome, the Feudal times, Renaissance,
and more.

Modifications
For too much of history, we've viewed the world's precious resources - both environmental and human -
as things to extract, to make the most of in order to maximize their potential.

Analysis of The Problems
The snow-capped mountainous land of Pahlavi as it looks,
faces many hard to overcome problems. These problems are:
The vast amount of blanketed snow. This also gets rid of a lot of
animal life, as well as farming. The only plants are dead grass
and pine trees. The reason for this is because its too cold, not
much light anywhere, and the strong winds blow weak plants
to the point of breaking apart. Farmable dirt here is very rare,
and when you do nd it, it is very compact and rocky. Needle
leaves found on the pine trees, are not edible and are quite dirty.
Mountainside in Greece, much like Pahlavi. The civilians will use techniques from Greece to face the problems.
Human Changes to the Land

There arent any berries either, and makes it that the people can-
not get food from plants. The only animals that are there are very
dangerous and without any weapons, not only is there no food,
but a danger that the wolves, leopards, and other animals will
kill people easily. During summer there is much more light and
heat, but that makes it hard to nd water
Water is a major problem for the civilization too. If look around,
there is plenty of water, the problem is that it is frozen. We can
heat the snow and ice into drinkable water, but there is no way
to heat it up, due to the lack of wood. It is too cold to for re any-
way, even if there was wood, it would blow the ame away. The
civilians cannot nd any unfrozen water anywhere, and the
snow is also dirty, which could sicken the people, dramatically
reducing the population. Water is even scarcer during the sum-
mer.
The very cold weather will freeze anyone without very warm
clothing, which is hard to nd, this means we must nd shelter,
which also is a challenge to nd. The winds that blow snow here,
make a path for anyone very hard to see. This becomes very dan-
gerous as someone might walk off a cliff, or into a tree. The pine
trees provide wood for shelter, but there is no way cut them
down, thus leaving no protection from frostbite or hypothermia.
The snow will also freeze ones feet also leaving them prone to
frostbite. The ice is very slippery, which will have the people slip
and seriously hurt themselves. The high altitude mountains are
thousands of feet high and blanketed in snow. If we go to sleep
here we will not wake up, ever. These and other aspects of the
mountainous area are difcult problems the land of Pahlavi has
to face. It seems that there are no solutions to them, but with a
little bit of thinking anything can be accomplished.
Chapter 1: Part 3
Proposed Solutions
In this Civilization of Pahlavi, there are numerous problems, but
we can change all of them by repeating historys greatest suc-
cesses. China, Greece, Egypt, Persia, and more, all lived in re-
spective problematic areas. Yet, the civilizations rose against the
harsh environments. Finding proper clothes for the climate be-

A Deadly Snowstorm
came easy when they found animal fur. Good farming areas was
tricky when Greece lived in rocky or cold areas, but wasnt when
earth steps were made. Floods did not become a problem when
civilizations created levees, which blocked water from destroy-
ing cities. These modications were all required to make the land
suitable for civilization. Otherwise, they could freeze, die with-
out farmed food, or be washed away. Modication is when one
changes the land for their suitable needs. Modication is re-
quired for survival, as not creating shelter, or hunting could end
a life. Modication can also though backre, as using too much
of a resource, could be completely gone, resulting to hunger or
even death.
Water in the land of Pahlavi is abundant, but unfortunately it is
frozen solid. The entire water source can become unfrozen, by
using trees from the heat of re. In order to cut the trees, the peo-
ple must hunt wolves and take their teeth, and cut it down. Fire
can also gain protection from attackers. Snow becomes fresh,
drinkable water from the heat of re. The cleanest supply of wa-
ter is the river located at the bottom of the mountain. The civiliza-
tion must scoop the ice from the river and melted to meet the
peoples needs. The water very fresh and clean: which will en-
sures a healthy civilization. The water must be stored in a well,
similarly to what the Arabs did with rainwater.
Food is hard to achieve but it is worth it. The environment is
similar to Greece, mountainous and rocky, as seen as on page
249 in the Frey textbook, so the society must follow Greeks tips
closely. Grapes and Olives may be available, so that shall be the
main food source. This is a good idea because they require little
resources, and taste great. The plants can grow on earth steps,
also taking a page from Greek history. The dirt for the earth step
was made from the dirt from the surrounding area, ashes from
slash and burn farming, and fecal matter of our residents; the
slash and burning is what the Arabs done as well. Animals, as
mentioned earlier, are dangerous and wild. Killing them can be a
huge challenge that could lead to instant death. That is why it is
a good idea to follow the ideas of Native Americans. They sharp-
ened rocks and wood to make arrowheads. This method is appar-
ent today, as many chefs sharpen knives to cut various things.
Pahlavi will use the sharpened ends to make a spear. The con-
sumption of meat should be less than of the olives and grapes.
6
Earth Steps from Greece
This is because the city might run out of the meat, where as the
olives and grapes are more abundant. The animals available to
be eaten are deer, elk, and possibly wolves. Though there is a ma-
jor exception for snow leopards, due to them being the loved by
all of the land.
However, the main modication the land of Pahlavi made was
the civilization consisting mostly in a cave. This mirrors the
ways of Paleolithic times; Frey states that the people had a
sense of community (21). This modication protects them from
the harsh cold and violent animals. This civilization will not de-
liver a society as well. No one has anymore rights than anyone
else, however the only exception is that the prisoners have very
little rights, and spend their time in a hole far from the rest of the
civilians. In the middle of this all stands a statue of the erce
snow leopard. Torches will be lit in many places throughout the
cave, to make the cave less dark and cold. Wolves and deer can
also be used for their warm fur, which can be worn by residents.
Wolves teeth are sharp and can be used for cutting down wood,
that has many uses; as well as hunting. Animal bones are used
from many purposes ranging from different structures, to the
base of weapons and tools.
Pahlavi faced numerous hard and dangerous problems. This did
not become an issue when a little thinking was involved to get
things solved. The Land of Pahlavi will go down as a civilization
that thrived for hundreds of years without any problems to
lower the population.

Chapter 2, Part 1:
Law and Sorta Order
In the Greek city-state of Athens, there were many changes in
their government. When Athens started, they had a Monarchy.
A Monarch is one who has all the power in the land. The mon-
arch was a king, who had Aristocrats who advised him. Aristo-
crats are wealthy men who owned large amounts of land. Aris-
tocrats are still present today as rich people. Aristocrats then
over threw the monarchy, and became an oligarchy. In an Oli-
garchy, a few people ruled. Oligarchy was successful at rst.
However, their made rich people richer, and the poor people
poorer. Eventually, the poor became angry at the rules, they
overthrew them, and put the power in the hands of a Tyrant.
Tyrants are people who take power illegally. For the most part,
Tyrants were fair with the people. One Tyrant, however, was
very hostile to the citizens. He would spy on the people and
punish anyone who did not like him. He, along with all ty-
rants, was banned from Athens. Then, nally, Athens made a
great government, Direct Democracy. An Assembly of 6,000
and a Council of 500 were the two parts of the Government.
The Assembly met every 10 days, and was Male Athenians citi-
zens that were older 18. The Council of 500 was over 30 years
of age, and met every single day. The Council passed laws, and
the Assembly voted on it. They debated, and voted. The only
problem was that the leaders would persuade citizens to vote
for bad things. However it was a great government, in which
people could have a say in the government. Democracy is pre-
sent today; though it is in the form of representative Democ-
racy, different from Athenss Direct Democracy. In present
America, it was learned that Athens failed ruling methods,
should not repeat. If America did choose to do it, the same re-
sults would happen again. People will up rise, the worst out-
come of a government. Instead, America took Athens last rul-
ing method, modied it to a representative democracy.
Sparta, another Greek city state, was an Oligarchy, as opposed
to Athens being a Democracy. They gave power to a few peo-
ple, and Council of Elders. The Council of Elders was 28 men
and a diarchy of kings. The Elders had to be older than 60
years old, and had to be noble. The Council just gave rules to
the Assembly, and they could vote for the laws. However, the
9
Athenian Men debating
Council could revoke their voting if they did not like it. So
there really was no reason to vote, because their votes really
did not count. The assembly could only vote yes or no, and
could not debate like Athens rule. The Kings got their power
by their relatives, and the assembly elected the council. Rome
had two consuls, similar to the two kings of Sparta. The lesson
to be learned from Sparta is, that you must give real power to
the people, not a faade.
Early Rome had a form of government with elected ofcials, or
a republic. Lucius Junius Brutus was the rst leader of Rome.
He made the Etruscan Kings leave; to make Rome. There were
two social classes. There were the Patricians, who were very
rich men and had just about all say in the government. The Ple-
beians were poor and could not say anything to the govern-
ment. Plebeians were forced to work and serve in the army,
while The Patricians did little work, yet lived in luxury. The
Plebeians were 95% of the Population, as the Patricians were
only 5%. In Romes republic, there was a Senate of 300 men
and two consuls. The Patricians, to rule Rome along with
them, elected the Senate. The Senate served until their death,
and their decisions were laws. Consuls were two men elected
to rule the army, much like modern day Americas generals
telling the army what to do. Patricians would sometimes
change the laws if they did not like it.
Plebeians were very angry at the governments order, so some-
thing had to be done. The Plebeians did not like the Patricians
laws, and had absolutely no power at all to change it. As Frey
states, They (The Plebeians) began to demand more political
rights (319). This lead to violent arguments that lasted for a
while Overtime, the Plebeians nally snapped and left Rome,
until they were given more rights. This was called the Conict
of Orders. Patricians thought little at this at rst. However,
quickly noticed that their large population of workers were
now gone. Even worse, there was no army, and that meant en-
emy attacks could become rapid. The Patrician had to grant
the Plebeians rights, or live in chaos.
The Plebeians were then more equal to the Patricians. They
now had 2 Tribunes and Council of Plebs. The Tribunes repre-
sented the Plebeians decisions and could overrule or veto any
of the Senates laws if they were unjust. The Council of Plebs
made laws for the Plebeians to vote on. These laws only af-
10
The Roman Republic
fected the Plebeians. Despite all these rights, Plebeians were
still unhappy about being unequal. The Plebeians protested for
200 years, until nally the Plebeians had the exact same politi-
cal rights as the Patricians. The laws were now written down
on tablets called the twelve tables. They were written down
because Patricians would always change the laws, and this
would be a way for them to stop that. Plebeians then made one
of the two consuls a Plebeian. Finally, Plebeians could give
laws to every single citizen of Rome. This event shows us
probably the most famous example of what can happen when
a civilization refuses to give their lower class political rights.
The Plebeians forced the Patricians to give them the rights.
That is what we learn from Rome, everyone must equal.
Chapter 2: Part 2
Code of Laws: Communism will get no Criticism
Pahlavi faces many problems that only Pahlavis Communist
laws can solve. Communism is a way of government, made
popular in Russia. The main idea of Communism is that there
are no class higher or lower than anyone else. Theft and mur-
der are two of the biggest problems, any civilization will face.
Some people will just take what they want and kill as they
please, so if there arent any laws to stop that, the civilization
will turn into a chaotic war. Another way Pahlavi can crumble
is if people dont like the religion. The city does not allow any-
one else to believe anything other than the belief of Buddhism,
because the people love the religion, and a new belief will
lower the credibility of the civilization. Sickness can kill many
of the people in the town, dramatically lowering the popula-
tion. In contrast, immigrants might make the population too
big, and there is not enough space for so many people. Man-
slaughter, assault, cheating on ones spouse, vandalism of prop-
erty, and disobeying simple laws, are all terrible crimes. If
there are no laws for these unlawful acts, Pahlavi cannot thrive
as a nation. Laws are the fences of what people can do in the
civilization without them chaos will cross the border.
Fortunately, there are solutions to solve these problems. First,
murder will result in permanent jail. This may sound harsh,
but if people know that if they committed such a serious
crime, they will get a serious punishment. If one commits man-
slaughter, steals, or does not believe in Pahlavis religion, he or
she is sent to the prison hole for life. However there is a secret
way to get out of the jail. If one were to escape, it would prove
that the Buddha believes that the prisoner is sacred. Murder of
more than 3 people will result in the killer being burned on the
lower half of their body, and frozen to death on the top half.
Those are the most important laws. Minor laws include of any
vandalism, assault, disobeying basic laws, rebellion on commu-
nist ways, the perpetrator(s) will be exiled from the civiliza-
tion. If they try to come back, guards will push them into a
trap door, and will die from the fall. As the twelve tables of
Rome said When a person, in any way, causes an injury to an-
other which is not serious, he shall be punished with a ne of
twenty (expletive) (Laws VII). Immigrants that try to come to
Pahlavi will have hounds chase them away. Hammurabis
code mentions marriage laws; this inspired the creator of these
11
laws, to incorporate that into the laws. Cheating on ones
spouse will result in walking on hot rocks barefoot. Sick peo-
ple, who may cause more sickness on the city, will be exiled
out of the city, until better. In communism, there is no cur-
rency, but trading instead. Also everybody owns all the things
they use to work, For example, farmers own the land that they
work on. People are also not poor, nor are they rich. This is
benecial to the civilization because, the poor wont up rise,
like Rome or Greece. Homosexual marriage and rights is al-
lowed, if they tell a Leopard that they are homosexual. As US
laws say, federal benets for same-sex legally married cou-
ples are implemented swiftly; this is the same in Pahlavi.
There will be no ruler or rulers, but enforcers, much like
modern-day police ofcers. The ofcers will make sure that all
people will follow those laws, or suffer the consequences. The
person who made these laws was Irvin the Great. He founded
Pahlavi and defeated all the threats that faced it. The laws can-
not ever be changed at all, except if one can convince every citi-
zen (everyone over 16) to agree with it. By learning all the les-
sons of ancient civilizations government methods, Pahlavi -
nally perfected the formula for a good government and civiliza-
tion.
Chapter 2: Part 3
Caesar, the Legacy Begins
Julius Caesar was the most famous, ambitious, and controver-
sial ruler in Roman History, and he made such large changes
to Rome, like making his people happy to keep his power, and
growing far too powerful; and we should learn from his deci-
sions. Caesars title was Dictator, but as Julius Caesars Rule
as Dictator said Caesar became King in all but name; he
ruled as he pleased. For example, he wore Royal Purple robes,
which were only worn by gods and kings, put his face on
12
A sculpture of Julius Caesar
every single coin that Rome had, and, most notably, he ex-
panded Rome to Gaul and Spain. He was very popular with
his people as well. He reduced taxes and gave jobs to many
people. When he was given the crown to become king, his peo-
ple disliked it, so he refused it just because he wanted his peo-
ple to like him. He did all these things so he would not be over-
thrown. However, politicians disliked him to the point of mur-
dering him. There is a lesson to be learned from Caesar. Keep
your people happy, and in return you will not be overthrown.
We can do this by giving the people equal power, but Irvin the
great will secretly have power, just like Caesar.
Chapter 2: Part 3
Augustus Caesar, the Legacy Continues
Augustus Caesar, the next ruler of Rome, made such large
changes to Rome, some beneting the people very much,
while other changes made people wild with anger; the Pahlavi-
ans can learn from his successes, and his failures. What was
most popular with the Caesar was that he really made Rome a
society. He created the rst library, police forces, aqueducts,
and the gigantic, splendid pantheon, made to honor all of
Romes gods. This proved to be very popular with the people
of Rome, especially the Pantheon. But did all of this did not let
him become murdered like his predecessor? Yes, he wasnt
murdered due to his numerous bodyguards. This shows how
Augustus tried to make his people happy, and made great
changes.
Augustus also had his fair share of criticism, however. One in
particular, was his strict rules concerning families. He reduced
taxes for those who were part of large family and/or married.
He also banned inappropriate actions in plays, which were
also very unpopular. According to Political Leadership of Cae-
sar Augustus, Augustus made family matters ...public by hav-
ing laws passed to promote marriage and childbearing De-
spite the minor aws, his people loved Augustus very much,
13
Augustus Caesar, the successor of Julius Caesar
and he was very well remembered, but Pahlavi can only learn
from his unpopular acts and give their people freedom.
Chapter 2: Part 4
No Home for Rome:
No other civilization was as thriving and renowned as
Rome, but it grew far too wild, too big, and, unfortunately col-
lapsed; the two biggest problems were major ination and the
civilization grew too large. The ination of goods, made it not
accessible to people, thus poverty grew very large. It was not
just because of the people who could not get it, but also for the
people who sold these items and couldnt sell many of their
goods. As Frey states, To nance Romes huge armies, its citi-
zens had to pay heavy taxes. This led to Romes enormous in-
ation. To pay for taxes, people have increased their prices to
pay for these taxes. Even some richer classes, like the Patri-
cians, grew slowly poorer and poorer. This is not problem for
Pahlavi, as there is no money, but trading. Thus, there is no in-
ation, but bargaining higher.
The other reason was that Rome to large, and too hard
keep people out. Rome borders were too open, thats why the
Huns entered so easily. Rome did not even manage to set up
fences, so did Rome really think that it wouldnt get any intrud-
ers? Also, since Rome was very large (About 11 times larger
than the UK), it was far too much to handle for one man. There
were so many issues scattered around Rome, The ruler could
not of worked through all of them. Pahlavi can easily solve
this issue by making its area well protected, and not enor-
mous. Using all of Romes aws, Pahlavi has found a way to
make its land more secure, and thrive longer.

Belief System
Just as a candle cannot burn
without re, men cannot live
without a spiritual life.
-Buddha
Chapter 3: Part 1
The Belief Relief
Civilizations are very different, with contrasting cultures, but
one thing that remains consistent throughout History is the Be-
lief System, but the reason for them remained a mystery. The
reasons behind their beliefs are very simple. The rst reason
corresponds to the one word question, why? Why is the sky
blue? Why is stealing, bad? Why are we living? Human Beings
are very curious creatures, their intelligence leads to them won-
dering about the world. Then they start creating Theories, ei-
ther right or wrong, about what they meant to do, and how the
world came to be. Those theories spread like wildre. Also, a
belief system tells people whats right and wrong. For exam-
ple, if someone was to do something bad, and did not care
about the law, they would know they would be punished
somehow, and this prevents crime to occur. It also means the
civilization will be in order in their class. People can hardly
function without a belief, so they create those theories to ll
the gap inside. These are the reasons a belief reason is neces-
sary for a civilization to have a belief system.
In order to better understand the importance of belief systems
within a civilization and how they can inuence the actions
and decisions of a people, please consider the following moral
dilemma:
A Callous Passerby
Roger Smith, a skillful swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During
the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teen-
age boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The
boy is screaming desperately for help. Smith recognizes that there is
absolutely no danger to him if he jumps in to save the boy; he could
easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy's
cries. "Why should I inconvenience myself for this kid," Smith says
to himself, and passes on.
If Roger Smith were a Buddhist, he would save the child. Bud-
dhists believe in the Eight-Fold path, which, according Frey,
Live a life of selessness(159). The Eight-fold path is an idea,
that shows one how to become enlightened. This means he
should save the kid. He would not even hesitate to do it. Bud-
dhists are very peaceful people, and saving the child would
create peace in the mind of a Buddhist. However, if the Child
were to die, he would be full of sorrow. This is why he would
save the child.
If Roger Smith were a Hindu, he would ALSO save the child,
like a Buddhist, though for slightly different reasons. As Frey
states, Karma was made up of all the good and evil that a per-
son had done in past lives. If Roger believed this, he would
build his Karma to be better by saving the child. If he contin-
ued this trend, he, in his belief, would be reincarnated in a
higher class. If he did not to do it however, his karma would
drop. He is causing harm; the kid might actually die. This is
why he would also save the child.
16
If Roger Smith were a Confucian, he would NOT save the kid.
Confucianism is about respecting people above you. Roger is
implied to be an adult, where as there is a child is drowning.
As Frey states All People must respect and obey those above
them. The relation between the two is, adult to child. Roger
chose not to save him, and the kid MUST respect his choice. It
is true that Confucians value justice and peace, but Roger is
not really committing a crime. He is allowing for the kid to die,
but he did not cause it. Although if Roger was a teenager, and
an adult was drowning, he must save the adult. This is why he
would not save the child; or rather, do as he pleased.
A belief system is very important to a civilization because it
can tell people wrong from right. Morality is important be-
cause people will know how to behave. Freedom allows peo-
ple do as they please, to a degree, and not be forced to do any-
thing. Honesty goes along with Morality in a society and
teaches that one must do the right thing. Health is very impor-
tant, so everyone can live a long and joyful life. Justice may the
most important, as people should get what they deserve and
be punished as well; in fact, those things are part of Pahlavis
laws. Nevertheless in almost any belief, Roger should have
saved the child, because it is simply morally right.

The Way of the Shmee-gil
In an effort to create a successful civilization, the people of
Pahlavi have established their own belief system. This belief
system shares similar moral values and teachings with other
world religions and helps the people of Pahlavi can share
wealth, have a deep love for the people and world, be com-
pletely equal in rights, and live in a safe environment, using
the way of the Shmee-gil. Here are some examples.
The rst of the two parts of the Shmee-gil is the Shmee. The
Shmee is the two moral values: Wealth and Equality. Wealth is
important in terms of of Communism, because everyone
Id malesuada lectus. Suspendisse potenti. Etiam felis nisl, cursus bibendum tempus nec. Aliquam at turpis tellus. Id malesuada lectus. Suspendisse est lorem ipsum
potenti.
Impact of Belief Systems
18
The Pyramid of Giza signature prism shape was used for the the people of Pahlavis temple. The largest differences
are that its much smaller and alternates from gold to purple.
shares the wealth, and nobody is poor, or rich. This goes along
with Communism and Buddhism. As Frey states about Bud-
dhism, This path follows the middle way (159). Commu-
nism is purely about those two moral values, as the main idea
is that everyone is equal nancially, and most classes are equal.
Communism and Buddhism may seem like two completely
contrastive ideas, but comparing their ideas shows that they
both want the same outcome; the middle way of living for eve-
ryone.
The second and nal part of the Schmee-gil is the gil. Gil is the
two moral values, love and security. With those two moral val-
ues crime will lower very well. Love means that nobody dis-
likes one another, and the citizens must be neutral or kind.
This affects people within because crimes come from hatred.
This is inspired from the overall idea of Buddhism; it seems
like love is a prominent idea. As the Eightfold Path states,
Live a life of Selessness, love, and nonviolence. This shows
that Buddhism focused around love.
Security, while not being inspired by any religion, is very im-
portant. Keeping the people safe is the number one priority.
Sure, the aforementioned moral values are important, but with-
out security, there is a high chance there will be no civilization.
Though security is not shown in any religion, almost all civili-
zations, dating back to Sumerian times, have had security to
insure peoples safety. Nevertheless, all of these moral values
are highly important, and the Shmee-gil will go down in his-
tory as a great belief system.
Chapter 3: Part 3
The Great Pyramid of nivrI
The great thriving civilization of Pahlavi has created a marvel-
ous temple, called the nivrI, and the Great Pyramid of Giza
inspired it. NivrI shows the way of Buddhism and Commu-
nism because it shows a balance between wealth and poverty,
enlightenment and pleasure. The pyramid shows balance and
how the bottom contains the most blocks but the top only con-
tains one. This because the bottom is considered to be the low-
est in society, yet there is more gold; the top is considered to be
the highest, but has the least blocks, so the middle is the best
way to go. Also the blocks alternate from gold to purple, gold
19
representing wealth, and purple representing poverty. As Lee
Krystek states about the Great Pyramid of Giza, The pyramid
wasn't just a symbol of regal power, but a visible link between
earth and heaven. This is much like the nivrI; however the
heaven is instead enlightenment. The large prism shape of the
pyramid is replicated with nivrI. However, nivrI is MUCH
smaller than Gizas pyramid. It is 32.8ft tall and 52.5ft wide,
but Giza is 481ft tall and 230ft wide. Another large difference is
that nivrI also is painted purple, and gold. Of course, the fa-
mous prism shape the Egyptians created, is very much appar-
ent in the Pahlavian version. Similarly, both pyramids are also
tombs, as King Khufu is in the Giza pyramid; on the other
hand, Irvin the Great is kept in the nivrI. The nivrI may take
many elements from the Great Pyramid of Giza, but it has
some differences to not be taken as a copy.

My Coat of Arms
My Coat of Arms contains a
Lion, an arch, an eagle, and an
Angry Sun. It also has a quarter
of teal because I like the water,
but only a quarter of me, does.
The Lion is based on the origi-
nal Iranian ag, where there is a
Lion with its paw up. It has an
arch, because Im the second old-
est child. An eagle is present, be-
cause I am strong, and also its my favorite animal. The Angry
Sun is present because I am an Angry Son. All of these on the
Coat of Arms make up all of me.
Chapter 3: Part 5
Religion has the Power
The religion of Medieval Europe, Catholicism, changed peo-
ples thoughts of life and then actions because of idea of sins
and salvation. These changes also affected other aspects of
their lives as well, many that modern people use for granted
today. The education of Medieval Europe was greatly changed,
mostly due to the introduction literacy. The church also had
gained great power, with great responsibility.
People were educated about their religion and literacy in their
church. Before the church, most people were illiterate; they
could not read or write. As Frey states, cathedral schools
gave rise to universities (38). Students in universities studied
Latin grammar and rhetoric, logic, geometry, arithmetic, as-
tronomy, and music. This increased popularity of the church,
because people could learn things they couldnt before. A hand-
ful of people went to learn from the church, but that increased
over the years, along with more people respecting the church.
All the topics learned back then, are still used today, as well
the concept of university; the church modernized education.
The church also gained the trust of the European people, so
much so that the church sometimes overruled the government.
This was probably because over the years, the people trusted
20
the church because it brought in new education. The most fa-
mous example of this occurring was of King Henry IV and
Pope Gregory. As Frey states, Gregorys ruling angered
Henry IV. Henry considered it his duty (and privilege) to ap-
point church ofcials. He called a council of bishops and de-
clared that Gregory was no longer pope. Gregory responded
by excommunicating Henry (33). Due to this his people no
longer trusted Henry. As a result, Henry IV BEGGED forgive-
ness from Gregory. A king, the highest class, begged to some-
one lower than him. That shows the power of the church in me-
dieval times.
The church of Medieval Times was very powerful, and helped
the world of Education, and literacy. Sin and salvation,
showed the people that being good has a payoff, and if horri-
ble things were caused by someone, that person would go to
Hell. Henry IV did as the Pope said, just so he could go to
heaven. The Church was the gateway between earth and
heaven, and some may think that the church was just some
other religious place, but it stood for much more.

Humanist Inuence
Humanism, founded by Francesco Petrarch, contributed the start of the Renaissance.
CHAPTER 4 AND SECTION
22
New Ideas
New Ideas from the Humanists spread around the renaissance like wild re
Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or in-
centive for improvement. Those who initiate change
will have a better opportunity to manage the change
that is inevitable.
-William Pollard
The unique ideas of this philosophy sparked the new era,
brought a new realm of questions and observations and many
humanists thinking challenged the Catholic Church. Human-
ists in the Renaissance had one main philosophy: question eve-
rything. The humanists, like Francesco Petrarch and several
others, would look inside corpses to see what was inside. Ren-
aissance means Rebirth and that denition certainly shows
in the advances in classical arts and sciences. Frey states, In
their studies of classical culture, humanists discovered a new
way of looking at life (320). The humanists didnt just look at
the
world and not care. If a humanist ever wondered anything,
one would go and nd how it worked. The humanists used
the studies to create humanities, a study of human life and cul-
ture, in order teach the new generations about what was
learned. The humanists loved nature, and observed it plenty of
times. The advance in painting was large and important as
well. These creative thinkers created depth and included na-
ture. Also, there were not any religious or any higher classes
that were larger than any other person, within the images. In
fact, the art had much less religious aspects and introduced
more nature themes. The sculptures, in many cases, were of
nude people and were scaled larger than the original. The art-
ists wanted to show the beauty of the human body. The art the
humanists created introduced scale, as one scaled up the stat-
ues of people and scaled down their paintings from the envi-
ronments humanists captured. In addition, these humanist in-
novators used geometry and other math to create telescopes
and other great inventions. Literature was made very emo-
tional and dramatic. These literary pieces spoke of the peoples
lives and were available to everybody, not just scholars. These
ideas challenged the church because the humanists created
questions that the church simply could not answer; this low-
ered the churchs credibility. Humanists, however, were not
against the church but wanted a balance, a balance of individu-
ality and religion faith and reason. Humanists made their
mark on history and created ideas and more that we take for
granted in our modern society.
Chapter 4: Part 2 Humanists in Minecraft World
23
Francesco Petrarch, the founder of humanism
Humanists made their mark in the Renaissance world, but if
they were brought into the civilization of Pahlavi, the govern-
ment, belief system, and culture would be challenged. Human-
ists have the motto: question everything, Pahlavi has not
touched why and how the world works, so the humanists
would create questions. Due to the snowy climate of the civili-
zation, humanists would gather the question, why does it
snow? Buddhism, the religion of the civilization, does not ap-
ply to how the world works. It is the way that a person must
live, or their lifestyle, but does not explaining how the world
works, as the people of Pahlavi do not care. This would chal-
lenge the ways of Buddhism, as it never explains the way the
world works, so the humanists would investigate, create more
followers, and soon enough, the idea of Buddhism would
weaken drastically; this is because Irvin the Great said to never
change the government nor religion. That is a rule, and the hu-
manists are breaking that law by coming up with new ideas.
Regardless, Buddhism would be the primary target for the hu-
manists to question.
On the plus side, the humanists would agree on some ideas,
mostly government, that Irvin the Great created. The human-
ists would agree, as these thinkers both believe in equal dig-
nity among people. As Irvin the Great states, Communism is
for those who want equal wealth, rights, and dignity. Everyone
can become whatever he or she wants when that person grows
up, but have the same pay as anyone else. Everyone is equal.
Humanists would commend Irvin the Greats actions, as these
thinkers believe any person should have the same rights as
anyone else. Humanists also would commend the fact that if
someone committed murder, that person would not be exe-
cuted. Only when someone kills more than three people, the
person shall meet their demise. Humanists would appreciate
how the civilization believes equality among other people.
The education would be challenged as well. The topics that
children must learn, is required, and no child can drop out of
school. These topics are: Mathematics, Language Arts, Physical
Education, and History. Humanists would want humanist
ideas to be a topic of education. It would be much like the
modern-day science, but less information. They would also
question the idea of no kid can drop out of school, as they be-
lieve that anyone has the dignity to decide what to do, includ-
ing children. Irvin the Great, the founder of the civilization of
Pahlavi, decided to include this because, everyone is given the
24
Irvin the Great, who set up nearly everything in Pahlavi
same amount of money for different jobs. So, if everyone is
given the same amount of money regardless, then why should
they go through school, and get a job with same money as a
person that dropped out of school? This why education is man-
datory and will not change regardless of the humanists ideas.
This is how humanists would react the civilization of Pahlavi,
and its ideas, the culture would not be challenged, as the civili-
zation hardly has culture. That is how the civilization works,
and humanists would like to change.
Chapter 4: Part 3
Corrupt Beyond BELIEF
Once, during the days of the late Middle Ages, there was a
church, thought to be a place for people to become better spiri-
tually, but really this place was becoming corrupted beyond be-
lief. The pope, alongside the priests, nuns, and monks, were
starting to get greedy, very greedy. These religious leaders
were give gold, and other large riches, despite them not being
the rulers. Not only that, but these religious leaders neglected
their own rules and morals. As Frey states, priests, monks,
and nuns made vows, or solemn promises, not marry or have
children. Yet many broke these vows. Some seemed to ignore
Christian values and morals (348). As if that was enough,
these religious leaders did things that were completely out of
their power. These religious leaders sold indulgences which
allowed anyone to be able to go to heaven. Anyone, bad or
good, was allowed to go to heaven. This destroyed the entire
purpose of morality or knowing the right or the bad thing to
do. If someone committed a sin, or acted immorally, this per-
son could simply buy an indulgence, to remove all the sins.
This was not only greedy and corrupt; this ruined the system
in which the people lived their lives. There is more to list of
these religious leaders sins. These religious leaders practiced
simony, or the selling of leadership positions. This is only a
taste of what the church had done, and thats not including the
great schism, where there were numerous popes, and most
were impostors, as well as three visions of the Catholic
Church. These religious leaders ruined every aspect that the
church offered.

25
Martin Luther, the founder of Lutheranism
As years passed, and the church became more corrupt, one
priest, Martin Luther, broke away from the church, and started
his own unique teachings. Martin was born and raised a catho-
lic; this thinker had a passion for the Christian faith, until Lu-
ther found contradictions with what the Bible had said and
what was being taught to the people. As Frey states, No one,
he believed, could earn salvation. Instead, salvation was a gift
from God that people received in faith. People, he said, were
saved by their faith, not good works. This led to controversy
among the church, and to his invention of the ninety-ve the-
ses. This was a list targeted on everything that was wrong with
the church, so as some may imagine, the list was long. The
Catholic Church did not like this at all.
The church, understandingly excommunicated Luther from
the church. As Luther was ruining the devious plan of these re-
ligious leaders, and this thinker was to be silenced forever! Lu-
ther did not want to give up and forget about all the important
values to up uphold in the church, and as a result the emperor
of Rome, and the Diet of Worms took action. As Frey states,
(the Roman emperor) declared Luther a heretic and forbade
the printing or selling of his writings. For a time Luther went
into hiding (353). Did this stop Luther from spreading his
ideas? No, this thinker continued with his ideas and shared his
ideas in his own church. In his new and improved church, Lu-
ther brought in fresh ideas such as the translated into German.
Although, not all protestant thinkers made it out alive. This
only shows how much people had a passion for commitment
to religious beliefs, and the beliefs of Lutheranism lived.
Chapter 4: Part 4
Dealing with Innovators
If there was an innovator in the great civilization of Pahlavi,
that was trying to ruin the government or religion, the answer
to deal with them is simple: kill him/her. Any starter in a revo-
lution is most likely going to have a lot of followers, so to elimi-
nate the starter means it will never happen. The trick is to
make sure no one notices the persons death, or else protests
will become rapid. A famous example of this is the death of Je-
sus Christ. His death attracted attention from his followers,
who made the religion larger and larger until the religion be-
came the world renowned Christianity. Irvin the Great and the
successors must do the complete opposite; make sure the
26
The Death of Jesus Christ sparked many followers
death is unnoticed. If the people must ask what happened to
said person, the enforcers (equivalents to police ofcers) must
say that they left the civilization because said person wanted
to do other interests. Of course this is only for ideas that chal-
lenge old ones; if there are ideas that innovate everyday lives,
they are accepted. The only ideas that can challenge old ones
are technology-based, not culture or belief-based. That is how
the civilization of Pahlavi would deal with innovators that chal-
lenge ideas that have been rmly planted, and accept ones that
improve life.
Chapter 4: Part 5
The Doctor is in the House
Despite the strict rules of innovation of Pahlavi, there is one in-
novator that the civilization would allow: the great scientist,
Andreas Vesalius. Vesalius work was mainly of medicine and
anatomy, and that is a huge talent that the civilization needs.
As Frey states, Vesalius made many discoveries about the hu-
man body. For example, he showed that the human heart has
four hollow areas, called chambers. His discoveries led him to
write his own seven-volume textbook of anatomy (Vesalius)
Explained the construction of the body and how the body func-
tions (339). Vesalius would bring a new realm to the medical
eld and would be able to save more lives. This would also at-
tract more visitors to Pahlavi, because the medical care would
be advanced. Anatomy would also be a new topic within the
education system. This is a huge improvement over the last
way of medical care in Pahlavi. If someone were sick, the per-
son would be banished in the snow so no one else would get
sick, as well. Vesalius would treat that patient, rather than ban-
ish the person. Once Vesalius would be gone, his teachings
would be implanted within the minds of new doctors. Vesalius
truly offers great education and medical care, which are things
Pahlavi truly will benet from.

Looking to the future
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking back-
wards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You
have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has
never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
-Steve Jobs

Looking Beyond
29
Looking beyond the laws, belief systems, modications, and dealing with new ideas, there are other things to deal with in the civi-
lization of Pahlavi. One is protecting the civilians of snow storms, which is very frequent. The mountain caves do provide protec-
tion from these, but not entirely. People must not go out during a snowstorm at all, otherwise the will be blown away, or freeze to
death. Another unmentioned problem is how is the people going to get from the top and bottom the mountains. There are two an-
swers to that: One of the rail system and other of stairs. One innovation the civilization created was the mighty rail track system. It
uses metal and wood, along with a seat with four wheels on the bottom, so the people get to the bottom of the mountain. Stairs are
used as an alternative to this as some people may not like this, and it is also mandatory to get up the mountain. Ways of leisure in
Pahlavi are scarce during the winter, but the coastline and beach provides fun during the Summer. These are the other parts that
make up the great and remembered Civilization of Pahlavi. I hope you enjoyed this book, I worked extremely hard on it.
