Ancient Persia Persepolis 512 BC - ایران باستان

[ziggy577]

I always admired the great Persian empire and I am an American. Persia today is enslaved by Islam, which did not exist when Persia was a great wonder of the ancient world. Just look at the beautiful artifacts and architecture of this ancient civilization of 3000 years ago.

Does anyone know the song used in this video?

And I LOVE Persia. I even wrote an entire research paper on the bias of Herodotus and the Greco-Persian wars. :)

I think it is about time that Iranians stop making videos about Ancient Persia and look forward to the future. They should invest their energies in a Pan-Iranian cause to unite the lands from Indus to Tigris.

There has been about enough effort to glorify Zarathustra, Cyrus, Darius, Artemisia, Mithradates, Surena, Shapur etc.

It is more important to reconcile the various Iranian peoples such as Baloch, Kurds, Pashtuns, Persians and Tajiks. Start making videos which can help such a cause!

@Taimoor1989 Actually I strongly disagree with that statement .. Its time ancient Persia get its respect globally .. History sheds a evil light on its empire cuz of the bias information . Its one of the greatest empires ever forged and yet its barely mention . Its defeats and its end are well documented . The Persian empire should be known for it unity and strength as a fair and just empire ..

hey Sirianking, Persians fucked your mothers back in the day dont forget that

[SirianKings]

Persia was just another state of the blood-sucking priesthood which relocated there from Babylon, and to this date the Vatican.

[claybe]

we kept our culture and civlization since 10000 years

[mallymizzle]

i love history, but how do they get off making images, now one really knows what anyone looked like in those times. Look at egypt you would think the people there now look like the ancients... well we know thats not true lol .... but anyhow... thats another story.

God Bless Persia.

Salutations from Britian.

[lordtrax8]

Salute from Serbia too!

[OnionChang]

Persia is cool. Its sad to see what it is today

[gizmobaba]

ironically such an advanced civilization adopted a bedouin salesmen's religion 1100 years later (forcibly albeit)

[polehchoobi]

Oh the victimhood.

If you can force a new religion on a society, that society probably wasn't so sophisticated to begin with.

Go do some research, you whiny hypocrites.

The Zorastrian priests of the Sassanid dynasty where as despotic as despots got even for that era.

[poopsterme]

you mean when they were conquered by the arabs they forcibly pressed islam onto them. leading them into what its now called The Islamic Republic Of Iran. Its not as if we had a choice...

[shahabsh7]

I just want to cry when I see kink of King we (Persians) had and now what kind of government we have....

[shahabsh7]

*EDIT* I just want to cry when I see what kind of King we (Persians) had and now what kind of government we have....

[cyrus86]

Beautiful Video.

I wonder what was wrong with Alexander who burned this magnificent palace to the ground.

[cyruslovesindia]

Perfectly agree with you. Alexander was not great at all. He probably was the worlds first terrorist.

[cyrus86]

well said.

[get5050]

to:cyruslovesindia

I think he was like this akhonds becaus he killed the king so he could use the place without burning but he scard of some dayss ;)

[vandenboss]

Persian history is much greater then islam its,and will be there when islam its long gone. I'm sorry that it happened in your live my friend, but you will be there to see it go no doubt about that.

[shariotoflove]

well all i can see is that islam is growing at such great lengths and zoroastriansim being forgotten as time ticks away.

[get5050]

[Hesam0000]

If we were there 2500 years ago we should have been in the moon by now.

I wonder what or who came to Iran (from the Southwest deserts) and changed us to become what we are now!

On his way back to Iran, they asked Khomeini "How do you feel going back to Iran after so many years"?

He said: Nothing.

And IRI is his child.

[WyattKaldenberg]

Very lovely video.
