Abstract
The article gives highlights of the All-Russian Conference with international participation “Antiquity: Ancient Knowledge and Specific Nature of Historical Sources”, organized by the Department of History and Culture of the Ancient Orient in the memory of famous Iranian scholars Edwin A. Grantovsky and Dmitry S. Raevsky and took place November, 26–27, 2019 in Moscow. Among its participants (both presenting their talks and publishing their papers in the conference volume) were scholars from Geneva, Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Udine. The talks covered topics of the full range of Ancient Orient and Iranian studies, both archaeological research, and dealing with its written monuments. The conference has shown that the research methods, invented by Edwin Grantovsky and Dmitry Raevsky as early as in 1970s, are still relevant. It is only the interdisciplinary approach, with regard to the whole scope of available sources that can allow us to solve new tasks, faced by historians, philologists, archaeologists, ethnographers and art historians of Ancient Near East and Iranian world.
