Trumpets date back to 1500 BC and before. In Scandinavia, the earliest trumpets were called "lurs." However, since the trumpet was the first of the metal instruments -- originally bronze and silver, now primarily brass -- its predecessor likely was just called a "horn." The first trumpets were developed as signaling instruments for the military and religious ceremonies.

In short, the answer is partially yes. Part of Iraq was inhabited by the ethnic tribes that are known today as Persians by the Western world and Parsi in the Iranian language. The other portion of Iraq was occupied by the Sumerians/Babylonians, which was ruled by a tyrant, known as Nebakanezer. Once Cyrus the great unified the nomadic tribes that inhabited modern day Iran, parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iraq, under the Persian banner, he then entered into Babylon (Iraq) with no resistance, freeing the Sumerian and the Jewish people. The Persian/Parsi is a culmination of the following ethnic groups: Lurs, Elamites, Medes/Kurds, and allegedly Armenians, according to Greek text.

The earliest trumpets date back to 1500 BCE and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[2] Trumpets from the Oxus civilization (3rd millennium BCE) of Central Asia have decorated swellings in the middle, yet are made out of one sheet of metal, which is considered a technical wonder.[3] The Moche people of ancient Peru depicted trumpets in their art going back to 300 CE.[4] The earliest trumpets were signaling instruments used for military or religious purposes, rather than music in the modern sense;[5] and the modern buglecontinues this signaling tradition.

Persians typically consider themselves to be WHITE and are considered as such by the US Census Bureau. However, most laypeople will argue that Iranians are not White, but either Olive/Mediterranean or Brown.

It is important to note that only the Arabs insist on calling the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf. It is not a commonly used term in any major language other than Arabic and the other five UN languages call the area the Persian Gulf. The same issue arises with the term "English Channel" which is called "La Manche" in French and variations of that name in other languages.
In English and most other languages, the proper term is "Persian Gulf" as much as it offends Arab sensibilities, just as the term "Manche" is the proper international linguistic term of the English Channel as much as that may offend British sensibilities.
However, there are several reasons that Arabs feel the need to push others to see the situation from their perspective:
- It is used by the Arab League and nations
- It is used by United Nations in their Arabic documents and Arabic Language is an official language in the United Nations
- The name "Persian gulf" is linked to the Persian empire that does not exist any more. As Mediterranean sea used to be called Roman Sea
- Iran does not mean Persia, Iranian people consist of Persians, Arabs, Azeri, Turkmen, Kurds, Gilakis, Mazandaranis, Lurs, and Baluchis
- The people who live around the Gulf are mostly Arabs so by demography it should be called Arabian Gulf
- There are 6 Arabic countries around the gulf but Iran is alone and 70% of the coast line is under Arabic countries
- Stated clearly in the Arabian history.
All of those are refuted by International Observers who say correspondingly:
- This is true because its name in Arabic is the Arabian Gulf, this is not in dispute. The question is whether non-Arab parties acquiesce to this.
- All five other UN languages use a variant of Persian Gulf and those five other languages are the majority. Arabic has no special privilege to trump the others.
- Many areas are named after people who may or may not still exist. America is named after an Italian explorer who is long dead, but nobody suggests renaming America.
- The Islamic Republic of Iran is the successor state to Persia. The Persian Empire changed its name to Iran in 1935. The Persian Empire and now Iran was never culturally homogenous. What that has to do with nomenclature is unclear.
- Current demography does not change place names. Tibet is still consider Tibet outside of China even though there are more Han Chinese in Xijang Province (as the Chinese call it) than native Tibetans.
- Wholly irrelevant to nomenclature. The South China Sea borders more of Vietnam than China and the Gulf of Aqabah borders Jordan less than each of the three other countries to touch it.

During ancient times almost every foreigner referred to the entire country as PERSIA until March 21, 1935, when Reza Shah Pahlavi asked the international community to call the country Iran - a name that the people of Persia, themselves, used to refer to their country since the Sassanian period. "Iran" means "Land of Aryans". The name Persia is still widely used by many Iranians (pronounced: Eeh-raa-niaan) worldwide as well as in many books, documentaries, movies, etc..
