The mythical land of Sistan & Balouchestan consists of two regions: north & south. Sistan or Nimrouz extending over the the northern part of the province is the birthplace of Rostam, the mythical hero of Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh. This land was captured by Muslims in 602.
Balouchestan of today which forms the southern part of the province was called Maka in the oldest historical documents and in 1928 the central government was stabilized there.
