a farming technology known to have developed entirely in ancient Persia, Does this then mean "brought to an exquisite peak of technical perfection in Persia before it was even considered elsewhere?" I've seen the aerial photographs, too. But how are these ancient qanat systems dated? By fatwa?Wetman 00:09, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

No, by Bush's State of the Union Address. How else do you think they date archeological remains?
Even the name Qanat is Persian.--Zereshk 03:53, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Karez

I'm not sure if the origin of the word "Karez" is Pashtun, as is claimed by the article. The word Kariz was extensively used in old traditional Persian architecture.--Zereshk 10:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
