Seven Valleys takes its name from the seven valleys mentioned in the legend of Simurg. According to the legend in Persian Mythology, the bird, whose name is Simurg, is also known as Phoenix, Phoenix, Hüma or Tuğrul in different mythologies. Simurg is a wise bird who is believed to live at the summit of Mount Kaf and is reborn from the ashes by burning himself as his life is exhausted. Thanks to this unending life, he knows everything.

All the birds believe in Simurg’s wisdom, and when things go wrong, they think that Simurg will save them and wait for him. However, none of them had ever seen him before. One day a group of birds decided to travel to Mount Kaf with the ideal of reaching Simurg and meeting him. However, in order to reach Mount Kaf, they had to travel a very long way and pass through seven difficult valleys at the foot of the mountain. These seven valleys were the Valley of Curiosity, the Valley of Discovery, the Valley of Talent, the Valley of Freedom, the Valley of Unity, the Valley of Productivity and the Valley of Self. As the birds passed through these challenging valleys, in each valley there were some who gave up, lost hope, and lost faith in themselves.

When they reached the last valley, there were only thirty birds left from their journey with many birds. When these thirty birds crossed the last valley and reached Mount Kaf, they saw that Simurg was not there. In Persian, “si” means thirty and “murg” means bird. They realized that the wise bird they were looking for was actually themselves and that the real journey was the journey to themselves. Wisdom could only be attained through the experiences and teachings of this difficult journey.
