[ProXJoss]

Fuk yeah euro for life!

[TungstenWall]

But is you think about it:

Persian soldier: "were getting our asses kicked D: "

Persian leaders: "... eh.. lets toss ore meat bags with pointed sticks at them until we win."

at least that is how i understand it.

[uranushw]

@TungstenWall you sound like ali g

[OfficialJoosty]

i like turtles

[Persien91]

persian was not the biggest empire in world but the First Empire and im proud for this

Proud to be Persian!

[ISuperLoveMovies]

@Persien91 The Persian empire is the biggest ANCIENT empire, meaning it was bigger than the Macedonian empire... Persian empire = 8 million square km, Macedonian empire = 5.2 million square km.

So it was a great deal larger.

[Persien91]

@ISuperLoveMovies yeah but i meand in in the whole history ^^

in acient times persian empire was the biggest and controlld 44% humans the earth

[raaspider]

easily defeated the 300 spartans? comon history channel last time you said the 300 spartans held off the persians for 3 days and causing tens of thousands of deaths. be consistent or dont say anything!!!!

[susumu07]

@raaspider

Actually the 300 spartans (and 1000 helot slaves that aided them) were defeated in only a few hours. Xerxes gave them a 3 day truce to surrender or fight. They chose death even though they knew his navy was already advancing towards southern Greece.

[kasraPISHYAR]

@raaspider the stuff that uve heard is said thro the greeks and the roman's poin of view....i.e. its not all true!

go read sm books

[dragoez2]

@raaspider They said AFTER the hard fights at Thermopylae Xerxes had an easy fight with the 6000 left spartans who were bait ,before they engaged with the united army of all greek city states. So 300 was about true events and really hard fights but u have to understand that overall- Thermopylae was just another loss for the greeks in the war vs Persia.

[HSSKxx12345]

@raaspider think of this... the losses of the persian empire wasnt too much for them but

[mylesbradley1234]

LOL well aint 300 a load of shit :p

[c8h3p]

Are persians part of the Aryan race?

[guardwok]

@c8h3p if everyone migrated from africa in the end aren't you all africans? and i don't think hitler would approve of the persians being aryan i thought they were blue eyes and blond hair

[mylesbradley1234]

@guardwok Every human emerged from WHAT IS NOW AFRICA :p they did not all amerge from Africa though :D we emerged from when almost every piece of land was attached from each over... where whats now Africa :)

[susumu07]

@guardwok

That was hitler's "ideal aryan" however he admitted that most "aryan germans" did not look this way including himself. He did consider Persians Aryan, in fact he actually wrote a Nowruz (Persian New Year) letter to Reza Shah stating as much and wishing him a happy new year.

All the same Hitler was not a real Aryan, his definition of aryan was based on 1800s euro-racist pseudoscience.

The original aryans were Iranians. Darius the Great called himself aryan 2400 years ago. In STONE.

[itsmeparsiaqs]

@c8h3p yes.aryan race first lived in persia (iran),



[WICKEDMAN9MM]

That's rgt buddy, British empire was the biggest, remember we are talking about two different era.

[TheOwner23]

wtf, IRAN IS DEAD ?

stupid jealous arabs, Iran was called Persia until 70 yrs ago, we changed it back to Iran because of the unity among all Aryan tribes, IRAN=land of the Aryans, Persians are just 1 tribe of Aryans, arabs are so fuckin jealous of our history its pathetic

IRAN STILL IS THE STRONGEST SUPER POWER IN THE MIDDLE EAST, and HELL YEAH WE'LL RAISE AGAIN and become the SAME AS ANCIANT PERSIA

[historyblitz]

....man, you guys are all flipping out down here.

[DhuNawwas]

watch?v=XOUOV7EJ3wg  watch this video you fag Poorseans

[WaitingxxRoom]

well fuck you back. oh and by the way, the british empire is the biggest of all time, not persian.persian was just the biggest at that time.

[Dariushparis]

No man i don't agree with you, because it depens how you calculat that empire, look at the maps they are totaly different,

[WaitingxxRoom]

just look at the facts, theres nothing to discuss.

1.British Empire - 33.7 million km

the largest empire in persia EVER was the Afsharid Dynasty, Persia - 4.0 million km.

Now, its quite clear who had the biggest empire....

[Persien91]

@WaitingxxRoom

ehm largest empire in persia was Sassanid Empire 7.0million km.

and Not British "Empire" it was colonial this is not a empire 

[ISuperLoveMovies]

@WaitingxxRoom The largest was the achaemenid empire which was 8 million square km. that's twice the one you stated, but still... :p it's the biggest ancient empire anyway

[WaitingxxRoom]

um well calculate the size? as in how much land they had, cos thats what biggest means...british empire was much bigger...just compare the size of canada, one of their many dominions...only that is many many times bigger

[MrXreXes]

the weakness of xrexes was that greece was wayyy to far from iran and it took him years to send soldiers there and he had to send soldiers that were not persian so they didnt fight like they really had to and the other thing is the complex map of greece

[PersianSoldier4Ever]

History channel is owned by BBC. As usuall they are rewriting history in favour of Greece, since Greece is considered to be a western country and Persia is not. Fuck BBC and fuck western countries. We know who we were, and mark my words, Persia will rise soon.

[kariido1]

@PersianSoldier4Ever Huh? a country that has been dead for two millennia will "rise soon". Are you a part of some cult or terrorist group?

[Marduniya]

@kariido1 You, sir, are an idiot.

[kariido1]

@Marduniya What an amazing retort, I'm sure you've spent countless hours staring at a blank reply box before those words of wisdom came to be.

Hint, when you don't agree with someone and just throw out any random insult it doesn't make you anymore right or righteous.

If you don't consider that 'PersianSoldier4Ever" spouting crazy talk then I really don't give a shit, It'd be obvious that logic would have no impact anyhow. Whatever rocks your boat.

[WaitingxxRoom]

before you try rising, first try to get democratic elections and respect for human rights over there.:)
