so "Germi" would mean fireplace of sun. This interpretation is more consistent with other documents and evidence about the region and its history. History The history of county is closely related to the history of the Mugan region. The history of Mugan is divided into 4 eras. First: The ancient era There are enormous works from the ancient period in this era but there is not a complete museum about the region. Most of the ancient monuments discovered from the region, irrespective of the historical period, are held in several museums, such as The Iranian National Museum, The Kashan museum, The Copenhagen museum, and several others. Second: The Parthian and Sassanian Era There are several stunning works from this era, such as daughter-castle in the north of the county, Langan Qantas, Barzand Castle. Third: The early years of Islam to the Safavid Dynasty This era was not a flourishing period for the Mugan region. Due to the long period of wars, there were not any sign of progress, buildings, or outstanding monuments. The historical place in this county that had a large value during this era was Barzand Castle. That was the castle of Afshin who battled with Babak Khorramdin in an earlier century of Islamic history. Fourth: The New Age (1734 AD to the present) Ignoring the three earlier historical periods, Germi city is relatively new by Iranian standards; it was established around the year 900 of the Islamic calendar when Shah Ismael allowed five Shia families to migrate to this region. There were some other places and cities in Azerbaijan of I.R. Iran and Azerbaijan that are also called Germi. Climate and geography The city's area is almost 1,725 square kilometers. The altitude varies between 250 meters in the village of Khan Mohammad loo in the northwest, up to 2,200 meters in the southeast, where the Salavat Mountains are located. The Moghan (Germi) region, due to its specific topographic conditions, has a different climate than other parts of Azerbaijan, or even its southern regions. The county has almost a Mediterranean climate. Monsoon winds called Caspian Winds, which come from the Caspian Sea, greatly increase the cooling rate of the region. The distance between the Moghan (Germi) region and the Caspian Sea is about 80 to 90 km. In general, desipte the region's proximity to the sea, when considering the climatic division, this region can be considered as semi-arid,
