Farhad Alizadeh
Iranian Film and Animation
According to Open Culture, Iran is home to the oldest known animation in human history. An animated piece on an earthen goblet dating back to 5000 years ago was found in Burnt City in Sistan-Baluchistan province, southeastern Iran. This ancient piece, which can be called the first animation of the world, depicts a goat that jumps toward a tree and eats its leaves. The earthenware found in Burnt City, one of the most developed civilizations back then, is rich with images of goats and fish, more than any other subject.
