Persian mythology
Persian mythology is the body of the myths originally told by ancient Persians and other Iranian peoples, and a genre of Ancient Persian folklore. These stories concern the origin and nature of the world, the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Persians' own cult and ritual practices. Modern scholars study the myths to shed light on the religious and political institutions of not only modern-day Iran but the Greater Iran, which includes regions of West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and Transcaucasia where Iranian culture has had significant influence.

Beating Coastal Erosion & Harnessing Wave Energy
More than $226 billion of Australian assets are exposed to coastal erosion which is only getting worse with climate change. A collaboration of researchers, industry and the Mid-West Ports Authority are exploring the use of wave energy converters to absorb and harness the damaging waves that hammer Australia’s vulnerable coastlines during severe weather events. They aim for better management of coastal erosion, generation of renewable energy for guilt-free power and recovery of costs, and perhaps even the support of stronger ecological values in the local area. https://www.swinburne.edu.au/news/2022/02/producing-electricity-while-protecting-vulnerable-coastlines/
