The history of Germi city and county is intertwined with the history of Moghan region and settlements such as Barzand, Bajravan and Baz, as well as the history of Moghan and Shahsoon tribe. Unfortunately, most of the existing historical monuments of the city are not properly protected and as a result have been destroyed or smuggled out of the country. A small part of the historical monuments discovered from this city are kept in Kashan city museum and of course a small but important part of the discovered artifacts from it is kept in Copenhagen museum in Denmark. Some of these works are also kept in the National Museum of Iran.
The ancient hill (Aghamali Tappeh Si) is a valid document of the historical background of this city, which is located 9 km from the city and near the village (Shukurlu). Also, the first cloth in Hemmat hill, which was originally red and has a checkered background with a broken cross or the same as the sun or Mehr seal, woven in Iran, was discovered in Hemmat hill, Salala village (in Salaleh government correspondence) from Garmi city, which is now in the museum. National Iran is maintained. Recently, historical tombstones have been discovered in the protected cemetery of Alileh Moghan village (Germi). Alileh Cemetery should be considered one of the nationally registered monuments. The identified tombstones date back to 750 years ago. The altar and dome shape of these stones indicates that the tombstones have been installed on the tombs of religious and respected people. Also, Garmi city dates back to 250 BC and in the villages of Ramazanlu, Daryaman and Parmehr, works from the Parthian period have been discovered.
Appellation and etymology
When it comes to the etymology of "Germi" it seems somehow cryptic and there are several hypotheses about the meaning of word "Germi" and historical stem of this city Name.
Many historians believe the word "Germi" has Parthian or Alanian stems. Many others suggest ritual words stem from religions such as Mithraism.
There is 2 theory that believe Germi is combination of 2 words: "Ger" and "mi" but the interpretation is different: One group believe on Sumerian stem that "Ger" means village and "Mi" means celestial; the others believe "Ger" comes from "Ager" in old Persian language that changed to "Akhgar" at new Persian language, whereas "mi" comes from "mehr" or "Mitra" which both means: "Sun", so "germi" means fireplace of sun. This interpretation is more consistent with other documents and pieces of evidence about this region and its history. First Hypothesis believes. The name Germi probably comes from the
