  • MAGIC

  • koresh,ou Cyrus a été le plus grand empereur de la planète;béni du Très-Haut!

  • @whatsgoingonthen I know that, I'm talking about later times

  • Shitlam, destroying indigenous cultures from Africa to Asia. You can't deny it.

    Go ahead thumb me down, wussies

  • Yeah,Iran is beautiful.Would have been a great place to live in,had it not been for the Arab conquest and spread of Islam in Iran centuries ago.Glad my ancestors left Persia and headed east long before the barbaric arabs conquered Iran.At least where I am now,I can raise my voice against my government and not be executed.

    Save the Aryan pride. -an Aryan from Nepal, a country where you would think you would less likely find a majority of Aryans

  • fucking pronouncing persepolis wrong.

  • The Zoroastrism is the true religion of Iran, The Islam is only an imperialist religion imported by the Arabic colonizers, shell it is mistaken the other cultures.

    Iranian have to forget their real culture, they hate Arabic but are subjected to their religion, I do not understand!!!

    Parsis believes in the same God: Ahura Mazda

  • @51Totom Great!! I agree with you.

  • کوروش، کمبوجیه، داریوش و خشایار به اقوام مختلفی حمله کردند و آنها را زیر حکومت خویش بردند. این اقوام لزومآ از حاکمیت ایرانی ها راضی نبودند و مدام بر علیه ایران شورش میکردند. من به عنوان یک ایرانی خوشحالم که زمانی ایران اولین و بزرگترین ابر قدرت جهان بوده است ولی در ضمن اعتراف میکنم که این ملل و اقوام مختلف لزومآ آزاد به انتخاب حکومت خود نبودند و ما حق رهبری را از آنها سلب کرده بودیم. مثلا مردم یونان در آیونیا دموکراسی داشتند و ما حکومت زور را جانشین آن دمکراسی کردیم. این نظر شخصی من است.؛

  • amazing place ,thanks for posting this

  • Breathtaking!

    God bless IRAN and Iranians!

  • persian gays 

  • @TURKWARRlOR lol says the turk xDDDDD

  • Fuck Alexander the Gay. Eternal life to Iran!

    Marg bar Eskandar! Zende bad Iran zamin!

  • Baraye didane aakharin tahavol dar khat naghashi Irani mitavanid az site man-alavimehr didan konid. Moteshakeram

  • because of potential threat from earthquake, its not practical to restore the entire complex. so fix up whats already there. especially the wall carvings, paintings and reliefs, columns, ......the gardens can be restored in full though! and any fountains. at least the place can be made presentable!

  • in the name of god?

  • @bliszs ....it should be, "In the name of Zoroastrianism! Judeaism! Christianity! and Islam!, because under the enforced Mullah surface lies a multi-faith nation!

  • It didn't really take 200 years to build. Just over time New kings would expand and make their own part of it. Rephrased "It expanded over 200 years". E.g. Xerxes expanded on it by building the gate of all nations

  • @taylor2144 Of course over time New Kings expanded it! No one lives 170 years. That is what building is. The Persepolis that Alexander burned down was 170 years of continuous building. Remember this was the first multiethnic, multicultural world empire where paid (not enslaved) workers from all over the empire were brought to contribute their particular talents. The Persian Kings even credit the workers for their work in the inscriptions (e.g. who made the mosaics, columns, glazes, etc...).

  • @ClearMindedOne yeh i know..... thats what im stating, just cause the video made it out to seem that somone did live for 170 years lol :P

  • Astonished over the misinformation out there! Indeed Alexander the Macedonian and his soldiers did plunder and eventually burned Persepolis to the ground. Tragedy as it had palaces and artwork with nearly 200 years of labor. There is no debate about this. The only debate is whether he intended to do it or it was a drunken accident. The former was most likely the case in that it was seen as the avenging of the Persian sack of Athens in 480 B.C. where the (pre-Parthonenon) acropolis was burned.

  • The Hellenic Army under Alexander the Great did not destroy Persepolis, only minor damages were made by soldiers acting alone without orders. Don't fordet that the Persians destroyed all Hellenic cities they took including Athens in 490 and 480 BC

  • hey u had better study the histiry

  • go read some more history

  • @Aerospartan This is incorrect. Persepolis was completely devastated. Even a recent documentary on the History channel with world renowned authorities discuss how badly burned it was. The city was never inhabitated again. This should tell you something. The Persians did sack Athens (but like Alexander) this was not typical of Persian Kings reknowned for their tolerance. It was punitive after Athens helped burn the Persian city Sardis down (after Darius helped Athens survive Spartan aggression).

  • @Aerospartan Darius the Great was figuratively stabbed in the back by Athens. When Athens was seriously threatened by Sparta, the Athenians asked Darius for help. He did and it helped turn the tide for the Athenians. It was not long after this that the Persian City of Sardis was burned during Ionian revolt in 498 BC. Athens supported the revolt with resources and thousands of troops. Persian troops crushed the Greek troops at the Battle of Ephesus. Marching on Athens later was punitive.

  • @Aerospartan It was all cities in 490 BC. The Persian amphibious assault in 490 BC was stymied by the Athenians at Marathon.

  • 0:35

  • 5:50.........defaced statues. Alexanders men didnt do that. the first wave of 7th century "mujahadeen" did it. i can understand them not believing in other dieties, but they had no right to damage the images representing these many dieties.

  • I thought babylon fell? Or is this a different thing?

  • in that time iran had like half of asia, and half af europe, and some of africa. i think, it was greatest kingdom ever, am not sure. also Alexander burned this place, shame on him.

  • @RohamK96 yes you are absolutly right! but Xerxes burned rome, act of revenge from Alexander maybe, who really knows??

    but a shame it sure is!!

  • @RohamK96

    it was a symvolic action against the tyrrany of the great king the king of the kings..

    dont forget when the persians come to athens like invaders they burnt down the holy side of akropolis...

    anyway greeks bring to the asia the air of modern thinking putting aside the stone age mentality of the big palaces and the great kings

  • @RohamK96 naa, from asia minor to afganistan - thats the limits of the persian empire.

  • @existentialvoid which persian empire?

  • @RohamK96 It is surely tragic that a city like that was destroyed, but historians still argue if Alexander destroyed the city or it happened by accident.

  • @dicktp It happened during an orgy. Alexander married Emperor Dariush's daughter Roxane and it seems they were both killed in Babylon, and their son too. Dariush's mother was still alive and she loved so much Alexander that finished by killing hersel stopping to eat.. The fire of Persepolis was one of the greatest tragedies of History. Rockybrazil1

  • Fuck you with your false information. You are either a Turki or a Greek. Alexanders Grandmother was slave in the palace of Dariush. by the way Roxanne was not from the modern day Iran, she was 12 years old girl from the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. She was the daughter of the Governor. Alex conquered Persia but could not conquer the mountaineous parts of North-Afghanistan. his soldiers kidnapped that little girl. anyway, IF it is about Fucking, We have FUCKED the greeks too.

  • @RohamK96 fuck him.

  • Noway Pantekin ! It is not influenced by anything ! It is unique ! Viva Persia ! Don't be jealous about Persian history !!

  • it looks like these architectures have influenced by sumarian style.

  • The Lamassu (the bull with a man's head) originates from Mesopetamia. The Persian empire was one of the biggest in history. Of course there are influences from other cultures. No culture exists in a vacuum. And there is nothing wrong with that. :-)

  • great vid i went there in 2007 amazing

  • damet garm baba

    i want to cry everytime i see Persepolis things

    it's really unfortunate, because while retards are freaking out over crooked little pyramids in Egypt made by retards, no one even knows about Persia's beautiful and rich past. They don't look past our monkey president and mullahs.

    :/

    great video 10/10

    =)

  • why dont u use the term "islamic republic regime of iran" instead of using this beautiful country's name in vein. we all know what the regime is doing and the iranians who die by their hands every day. when you say iran you talk about them also so next time use your words more wisely

  • the Islam is debt

  • what we really need to be worried about is you neo-con artist terrorist liars instigating more wars and murder with your lies. Why do you people insist on attacking a religion that is a derivative of your own primitive barbarous sandnigger jewish/christian religion? If only you knew how stupid you sound...

  • "sandnigger" is an ignorant thing to say... you're just as bad as those filthy neo-con bastards.

  • Thank you for posting this video..........i had no idea there was such a beautiful place. So much ancient history.

  • در روح و جان من می مانی ای وطن

    به زیر پافِتَدان دلی ، که بهر تو نلرزد

    شرح این عاشقی ، ننشیند در سخن

    که بهر عشق والای تو ، همه جهان نیرزد

  • leave islam , its gate to see a free Gate and freedom

    living for today

  • How can a video about ancient buildings turn in to arguments?

    Ever heard of peace?

    Didnt think so. Humans are still animals.

    They were once prey and preditors.

    Now they think they are just preditors.

  • you get thumbs down in every video you post, how does it feel to be openly moronic?

    for being a nobody you sure criticize a lot so i dare you to stop being a ghost account and show once and for all that you are a good for nothing.

    you think you are a martial arts expert in the karate videos and valetudo but i will show you what valetudo is, it comes from my side of the world search ivan iberico or tony desouza to see two guys who trained at my gym at one time

  • Persepolis is absolutely amazing.There is no violent image in it which shows that in a world full of barbarism Persepolis was peaceful and cosmopolitan.The most breathtaking part was all courtiers and ministers holding hands together which represents fraternaty and harmony.Cyrus was truly a great leader.Not the barbarian he was shown in the movie 300.

  • If you only knew something about history then you would not say something!

    Ok, it was wrong to insult Islam but religion was among the gang of Persia!

    P.s. Let us listen to an insult to us, we discuss how zivielisierte man!

  • these ruins are ugly and the persians were savages its good the arabs came to educate them

  • fuck you shit arab you don't know, but the arabs were the babarians and the shit islam!!!!!!!

  • fuck u without islam u would still be the dirty hairy fire worshippers u were getting ur ass kicked by the turks and pakistanis

  • for now Israel is fucking u Arab :D

  • soon israel will be fucking ur nice nuclear plants u invested all ur money in, dirt poor persian.

  • oh dear asshole Arab , we dont need any nuclear plants, here is not Arabian Desert and no one dont would to kill other one to meet Houri in Allah's brothel

    Still im fucking allah as well :D

  • when ur thrown in the hellfire on judgement day ur pathetic nationalism wont save u

  • judgement day is right now

    Keep your religious mind forself otherwise will destroy you bicaz you want do the same with me and my people

    Get a life

  • the only thing good about u shias is hizbillah

  • LEZbollah u mean?

    Fuck all hizb of Allah

  • Hellfire exists deep down in the Earth and near the Earths surface. The chances of being placed in to where the Earth is molten is remote.

    Being thrown there can happen but who would bother.

    So realy hell exists in a persons mind.

    While they are alive.

    Just because a belief isnt followed doesnt mean anything other than just that.

  • ur not iranian or muslim so stay out of this.

    iran used to be an american puppet until the islamic revolution and now their power is growing and arabs who used to hate them love them now now only the secular zionist-appeasers must be flushed out. may God bless mahmoud ahmadinejad he may be the greatest hero of our time

  • I can see you realy have peace at Heart.

    I hope if ever I visit Iran that I am treated well.

    Or do you hate everybody?

  • you will be treated well in any muslim country, as long as you're not disrespectful like you are here.

  • I don't recall being unjustly disrespectful.

    Either way, as I said I am through with all the war mongers. There is good skiing in Iran or so I am told.

    Not many tourists which will be a good thing for me.

    So why don't you live there anymore?

  • Terrorizing virgins

    Both the mullah (religous cleric) as the interrogator knew full well that this also gave the interrogator permission to rape Nadereh. The interrogator got what he wanted and fulfilled his religious duty in the bargain. Thousands of young women were executed in Iranian prisons (1), most of them were raped under Islamic law.

    Shukuh Jalalie

    -A list of 1,400 were collected and published by Iranian Political Prisoners Action Committee. Some were pregnant, many were under 17

  • you are making things up. I dont know too much about shi'a law but Im pretty sure they agree with the laws set out in the Quran and Sunnah: pregnant women, as well as children, may NOT be executed

  • you make no sense troll wannabeebee, quit trolling youtube with your fanaticist ignorance.

    i dare you to man up and post any video, stop being a ghost so i can see how much of a scrawny black guy you are and how lame you are. stop posting your nonsense in these educational videos

  • so what's it gonna be troll, are you going to man up? or are you going to hide behind your keyboard?

  • Comment removed

  • Doubt it. Looks like people have had enough of you war mongers.

    Stick your head up your as# and blow.

    Put you on an island with all the war mongers and let you sort it out yourself.

    Give the rest of mankind some peace from you d#cks.

  • Its Iran's Page

    Come Back to Ghaza Arab

  • Huh?

  • for now Israel is f#cking u Arab .

    Answer.

    Whats it too you?

  • In the name of god : Ahura Mazda ;)

    What's that music ? they don't have sonnati style in their library ?

  • what the fuck is sonati style ?

    Persepolis needs the biggest orchestra not that bulshit SoNati music , keep your SoNati style for Paye Manghal

  • Sonati is the best ancient music and the origin of all music in the world. Noob

  • lol , yes i see all countries are folowing the SoNatI music , sonati music is good when u want to be on drug with Mullah Style

    Ignorance dont have End , i dont say sOnAti music is bad , we are living in Modern world not ancient world, if we wants to share some thing with world we need to learn world's language not living in our cube and say yes yes we are the best

    so fuck the Sonati

    i will think about this Bulshit best and classical music of the world also

  • Sonati is not "islamic" song. Go and learn more about iranian culture.

  • who said its islamic?

    go and learn reading words hahahahaha

    inghari majbooresh kardan englisi ke balad nist harf bezane hahahahahahha

  • "Mullah Style" mullah is islamic you know ?

  • pan turk = pan fars = pan armani = facist

    2000 yrs b4 korosh fars imigrate 2 iran from india, azari (MEDES) lived in north iran with zartosht, so iran does not belong 2 persia(hindi,pakistani people), armani people made fiction 2500 yrs shah lie history, because armanis imigrate 2 Gafgaus same time with persian, so these imigrants create fiction history 4 legitimize themselves in iran. Pan fars, pan armani r racist stupids thinks that can change azaris identity & legitimicy in iran.

  • Close your fucked mouth you bastard for every videos talkin' about a people or a nation I can see your comments. Who did you think you were? The greatest philosoph in this world? Furthermore medes are supposed to be kurds' ancestors. Don't make yourself ennemies from every countries, and shut up.

  • korosh jun man bidra sho,ya yeki az farzandaneto bidar kon, vagarna darim ghargh mishim plzzzzz

  • Also, since Iran is a strictly Muslim country, what is the attitude towards this treasured place given that there are representations of people and animals on the walls? I had never thought about this until now. Near to Persepolis, I think, is Isfahan, which we visited at the same time (1975 ish). I would like to go back to Iran someday, and a part of me will always miss the call to prayer, the hot, hot pavements, sandstorms, beauty and such kind people. Oh, the bread! There is no place like it!

  • I am english, but I visited Persepolis 33 years ago when I was 5 years old, and I remember the hall of pillars, and the staircases with the reliefs at the side. I also remember that looking down towards the trees and grass, we saw royal tents! In the evening they play a "son-et-lumiere" where different parts light up in coloured light with voices to bring the past to life. I wonder if they still do that?

  • This video is fantastic. Very well done!

  • A brilliant film which does credit to a truly awe inspiring place.

  • it get you kidding me ehwsan,say your seriuse by then doroske were from us,buttery,sandwatch and we were vegan.we were not as semetic trash like you meateater that was barbari,we would do much more if we get the chans,barbar taazi(arabs)your people attacked us,killed,butched,raped,and then killed us,and many of our scientist be burned and copied before be burned

  • I wonder what the

    I wonder what the

    Persian world was like then? Why did these ancient people devote such genius, time and energy to build these splendid monuments instead of simply buying fancey rims for their fast cars and cruising for burgers at Mcdonalds? It seems to me that times have changed. We no longer have any sense of awe nor even know, as these Persians did, what it means

  • that's right,

    but this fucking government has destroyed some parts of it, too.

    it sucks, they've destroyed our country.

    nobody in this world knows anything about Iran, all they get to see are the negative aspects and sides of it. miserable...

  • we are persians !

    it means that we are not arab !

    we are not terrorist !

    and we are not ahmadinejad or some other mother fuckers like him !

    we were forced 2 be muslim (1000 years ago) !

    and now we act like muslims !

    wish u could understand that !

  • ass licker of usa zioniste governement! go on bitch and Iran will smatched as Irak, maybe is your wishes?

  • i saw the fragments in britain museum today... such impressed never feel the same to old stones, they are full of spirit..my spirit

  • I was there and I just wanted to cry.

    They have destroyed everything.

    Persepolis was such a big place and now there are just some stones, wonderful.

    You can find more remaining stones and statues in Louvre (Paris) or in London...

  • In Iran, this creates numerous problems in issues regarding rape. The punishment for rape is the death penalty.[107] However, in such cases, the act of sexual penetration must be attested by at least four male Muslim witnesses of good character...

  • yeah !

    THE GREAT (!!!) alexander destroyed it !

  • u konw somethin' ?

    I gonna take ur fingers and suck'em in ur ass !

    we are persians !

    it means we are not arab !

    we are not terrorist !

    and we are not ahmadinejad or some other mother fuckers like that !

    wish u could understand that !

  • what a nice place!! I hope I can go to persepolis

  • however the law states that false accusations are to be punished severely.[108] According to these views, the principles are so rigorous in their search for evidence, that they create the near impossibility of being able to reach a verdict that goes against the suspect in any manner.[109

  • This video is not about politics at all.

    Thanks for uploading this one.

    I hope one day I can visit your historical places. Regards.

  • i hav never bin to my land tis good

  • İRAN = USSR

  • It is so beautiful I can't breathe looking at it. Do you think Bush knows this place?

    I don't think so.

  • i love mazda rx_7

  • bravo

  • Thankyou for uploading this video and be reassured that many people would like to know more about Iran. Handydude6 is quite correct and in fact many Parsi words have entered into other languages, including English. The whole country can be seen as one gigantic museum to learn from. Unfortunately some "people" have other ideas ... for them ... have a nice day!

  • Fuck ur life. Slave boy.

  • first learn how to write and read in english; then come and say sth.

  • oh ya

    and you know in my opinion wat makes it the most significant and brilliant of ancient world??

    it is dat all who had participated in building persepolis had been paid by the king

    can u believe dat??

    in a world dat every nations used 2 force others 2 do wat they want, nobody was slave and even they had days off

    wat do u think democracy can be??

  • Oh god, i didn't know that...that makes me even love iran more than what I already do!!!!!! Persia RULES!!!!!! I am proud to be from the fabulous land of persia...even its name gives you a weird feeling..weird but great!!!

  • 6 thousand years of history and that's it? No wonder Alexander had such an easy time conquering Iran and Iraq.

  • yea unfortunately 6 thousand years of history does not fit in a video, this is only one of the capital cities persia had and it was the most modern city of the world. still scientist can't understand the engineering of it. also Suez canal has been made by Darius. if u want more about the 6 thousand history of Persia search Engineering an Empire - The Persians. and then learn what this is all about

  • I was just teasing. I would love to go to all of that area. I am mostly English and German, and must give credit where it is due. Iran and Iraq were the beginning of Western Civilization. Most of the culture of central power, religion, and the arts, went from Iraq to the Persians, to the Greeks, then to Rome. Other than transportation, and communication, we haven't improved on civilization very much.

  • people dat called us barbarians should fink twice and im talking about a bunch of western historyless fools

  • I love you Iran!

  • Really bizarre/anachronistic that you used 19th century European music.

  • Aryan 4 life !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • GREAT!! I love Persia/Iran and its over 8 thousands of history, check out my video about Iran, I visited last year and I fell in love, such a great Nation... Iranians should be really proud...

  • GREAT!! I love Persia/Iran and its over 8 thousands of history, check out my video about Iran, I visited last year and I fell in love, such a great Nation... Iranians should be really proud...

  • I believe that there where many studies here!

    They shared many things with the Greeks and would have great understanding on democracy and science and many other things.

  • very good video

  • Nice, very beautiful :)

  • The iranian found evidens that alexander the great has not bourn down persepilis he did not even place his fot in Arya Persepolis was leaved by the kings.

  • Persias are so proud of their 8000 civilization

  • 8000? i think not

  • Think again, just do a search on history of wine an d where was the first wine discovered

  • iran is beautiful shup all go and steak ur country suck bitch

  • That was very informative. Thnx for sharing it with us.

  • you may need to read some yourself. At what time in history did the persian empire reach part of spain?? youre thinking about the moors?

  • been there, done that :x

  • it 's notjust about sassanid

  • U may need to read more history books before comeing up with these comments. Like Roman empire, Persian had invaded from china all the way to western Europe(including part of Espain)Iran never been invaded by any country.

  • ha ha funny comment go fuck ur self

  • ismail0206: Now why do ya have to be soo stupid for?? Achemenid or Sassanid were just the names of the governments in power. But who were the Chief Administrators (i.e. Cyrus The Great)....that'z right, PERSIAN! Hence "PERSIAN" Empire. Alexander came to Persia too...it doesn't mean the vast numbers of ppl conquered by his reign get included. Hence "Macedonian Empire"..not Greek/Ionian/Persian/Kurd/Arme­nian/Arab Empire. The Empire is named after those initiating the conquering!

  • very beautiful

  • fucking alexander, had it not been for him this place would've in much better shape

  • agreed. also you can blame the turd mullahs for not taking care of it.

  • athena was also a nice place before the persians burned it.

    but they rebuild it

  • actualy athens was rebuided by the persians themselfs.
