Abstract
Despite the fact that socio-political events, impose changes on the dominant social systems and structures, however, the underlying social concepts and believes generally integrate with ideological and cultural structures and immerge in the newly built structures. That is why the concept of cultural continuum and intangible heritage came into existence. In such a frame of mind, the present paper deals with Iranians’ approach to death and the ancient belief in the returning of Fravhar.
