However, although with the passage of the generations they tend to be exaggerated in many cases after a more detailed investigation it is verified that these can have solid historical foundations. An example of the above is, in the author's opinion, the story of Neman and Simnar included in the work "Seven Beauties" by the renowned writer Nizami Ganjavi. Therefore, the objective of this work is to show that the story of Neman and Simnar is a true historical fact. In the work, historical documents from various sources are analyzed as well as the etymology of words used in them. As a result, it is shown that Nizami Ganjavi relies on his extensive historical knowledge to convey to us the tragedy of the architect, and through carefully crafted details he alludes the reader to the reflection of mortality.]]></p></abstract>
