What is presented in this book about the land of Musiyan is a selection of generalities and a summary of details expressed by archaeologists over more than a century. The land of Musiyan has a marvelous face and, with its ups and downs over ten thousand years, boasts a clear and evident history, as bright as the dawn's light and as melodious as the babbling brooks, enduring like the resolve and valor of heroes and filled with endless love.

O land of Musiyan, you are the highest historical cry, whose divine essence has become the target of the arrows of Ashurbanipal and Alexander the Great; yet, like the phoenix, you stand still!

ای سرزمین موسیان تو بالاترین فریاد تاریخی هستی که تن اهورایی ات، آماج تیرهای آشور بانیپال و اسکندر گجستک گشته است؛ ولی ققنوس وار برپای ایستاده ای!
