According to Arnold Joseph Toynbee's (1889-1975) theory, the static period of society can be regarded as a period of stagnation and inactivity. Members of such a society do not have responses to the challenges ahead and they are passive and surrendered to existing conditions. In other words, a static society is a society that in general is somewhat lacking in fundamental transformational mechanisms. According to such a theory, the advent of ancient Iranian civilization is the result of a revolution, as well as the movement of society from a static past to a dynamic future.However, this paper, using the historical research methods, being sought to examine and analyze the characteristics of the Medes society before the dynamic stage based on existing evidence. Whether Society such as the Medes, in spite of stagnation, has absolutely no internal transformation or have. Achievement of this study is to demonstrate the adaptation or perhaps incompatibility of Toynbee's civilization views with part of ancient Iranian history. Meanwhile, the analysis of the general characteristics of the static society of the Median society based on historical facts and evidences, is one of the other achievements of the present study.
