“Kuhij” enters the record as city in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Kuhij, city and Hormozgan can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Kuhij” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kuhij, city and Hormozgan provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6442106. Authority coordinates are 27.191, 54.164. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2011, 2016 and 1997.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
