Saymarreh has been one of the important cities of western Iran in early Islamic centuries. Saymarreh city has been investigated in different aspects by scholars from Qajar era up to now. The result of this researches has been published in many books and articles. This document criticizes and reviews one of the newest articles in regard to Saymarreh city. This article has been written by Mohsen Saadati and Hossein Naseri Someah under name of “A glance at the social lifetime of the ancient city of Saymarreh from formation to collapse” that has been published in Journal of Pazhohesh-ha-ye Bastanshenasi Iran No. 22, fall 1398. Precise review and critical evaluation of this article shows that despite its strengths, it has serious shortcomings and drawbacks in terms of form and content. Despite being new, the article has no new findings and it is a repetition of previous researchers' comments about the city of Saymarreh. Time and reason for the extinction of Saymarreh city in this article is the same false hypothesis that has been expressed in previous research.
