Abstract
Iranian culture and civilization are resulted from different ethnic groups had been living in Iran during all historical periods, and in this context Persians who established Achaemenid Empire, played a key role. Unfortunately there is little data about the entrance of these people and the routes and dates of their migration into Plateau of Iran in the archaeological records before the establishment of the Achaemenid Empire. Their first settlement centers, their cultural materials and their historical geography have been remained as uncertain subjects. So, wrong information, such as the relations of the words “Par?ua”, “Parsua”, “Parsuash” and “Parsumash” with Persians and their migration into Iran have been produced. According to accomplished studies, except "Parsumash”, had firstly been mentioned in the inscriptions of Senacherib, the Assyrian king in 691 B.C, which referred to Persia, three other names refer to the land of Parsua(in some cases is recorded as Par?ua, Parsuash and Parsumash) where was located in Central Zagros without any relation to Persians.
