The Parthians forced the Amardians into exile in the Elburz Mountains and the area was re-inhabited by the Tabaris. The area slowly became a Christian community and in 418 the Tapurian Calendar was designed there. With the fall of the Sasanians, Yazdegerd III ceded the dominion to Gil Gavhara in 645 who chose Amol as the capitol of United Tapuria. It was the last part of Persia to fall to the Muslims in 761. Around 830, Mazyar, a Zoroastrian rebel took control but was executed in 839. Afterwards the area was ruled by Seljuks, Kwarezmshahs and Mongol. A Zaydi Shi’ite Kingdom was established under the Alavids in 900 and the city remained independent until 1596 when Shah Abbas incorporated it into the Safavid Empire. In 1782, Sari became the Imperial Capital of Agha Mohammad Shah.
