Cyrus The Great

[holekyo]

you are producing a lot of not necessary shit. whole potential is going on waste. but nobody knows how to particulate production, how to match production to needs and reorganize potential which is wasted on "overproduction". you're just a fuckin overporduction mister deluro. not neccessary fart of dirty showbussiness ass. but do not worry, that's normal in that fucked up world, on every field of that wrong managed world. and people will make streets red soon. you all know why ...

[DrDavidNeiman]

@holekyo You're saying I overproduce? It's not like it's in 3D or anything.

I think you overproduce your language. I suggest smaller words that you understand.

[amirova]

is that make him smart and GREAT OF ALL CYRUS THE GREAT!

[maniijeh]

It is called CYRUS THE GREAT. please have some respect for this great ancient king and ruler

[ViciousBeats16]

Cyrus the Great or Alexander The Great is mentioned in the Quran as Dhul Qarnain (Man Who Lived Two Centuries), described by Allah as a righteous ruler, who took over the whole world at one point. At the Time of Prophet Abraham.

[ImaginedWriter]

Alexander was greater than Cyrus, why? Because the Jews were primitive. The light of Greek civilization was better for them in the long run if they accepted it.

[arman10864]

Cyrus was benevolent to all his subjects even to the Assyrians, Egyptians and Babylonians who were the enemies to Jews.

There are no Persian quotes parallel to those in Old Testament. Why? Because quotes in bible are nothing but opportunistic attempt by Jews to secure lands in Israel.

Cyrus was a Zoroastrian and did not believe in Jewish God. His quotes in Persian prove this.

If Cyrus knew what Jews are going to become in the future, he wouldn’t help them at all.

[DrDavidNeiman]

@arman10864 You know this for sure?

[arman10864]

@arman10864

I think I am blocked

[1980vince]

you guys are gonna belive a jew,the ruined the world that why were in trouble

[JOEYSTAX]

@sarbisheiomid007 thanks for the suggestion... i read masonic encyclopedias... u should do that.. those regular history books after 1914 are basically for the masses

[maziarandmelisa]

hey thats my grand father. lol.just kiding



[beckyneiman]

Nope. Not blocked. Check you're "browser".

[8Thirst]

Disprove what I said. Then you can call me whatever you want. Before that you are just stating your opinion. The fact that i couldnt reply to you is proof that you blocked me.. you could have responded to me directly but you didnt because?... You cant unless you unblock me.

If you cant counter my facts with anything other then "youre wrong" i dont really see any point in continuing this.

More then willing to hear what you have to say if there is something better.

God bless you and be safe.

[beckyneiman]

I have not blocked you. Your delusions persist.

[8Thirst]

Beckynieman

Lol. Youve already blocked me from replying to you directly.

Cute.

I guess because you know what my response to that would be....

Prove it!

The migration to Palestine is history.

Tel Aviv was a cluster of Jewish communities from 1909-1950 when it was officially made a city.

Before the 1948 UN division Jews owned 8% of the land of Palestine. It is impossible for your grandfather to have "built" anything without displacing anyone.

Blocking me doesn't change the truth Becky.

[8Thirst]

Zionist propaganda.

1. Cyrus moved the Jews back because of the 1st reason he mentioned. He didnt want a destroyed province in his kingdom and because he had a huge empire and decided to do things diplomatically.

2. Cyrus moved the Jews back to JUDEA because he was a benevolent leader not because he thought that God wanted to move the Jews back (ZIonism).. nice try.

3. Ahura Mazda was the supreme being. The one he worshiped. The first alleged monotheists of the region.

Objective information?

[DrDavidNeiman]

You don't have to believe in god to be a Zionist. Many of the early Zionists were atheists. The Jews needed a homeland then, and they do now.

[8Thirst]

@DrDavidNeiman

I think that was a dishonest statement on your part. Cyrus didnt displace and murder the population that lived in Judea. Sorry.

Imagine the world if every religion had a so called homeland.

Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iran are cancers to our modern world.

I live around Muslims and mostly russian Jews in a neighborhood in NYC. How do I ask them to leave because they are of a different religion then the majority of the US?

Cyrus would not have approved of your characterization.

[beckyneiman]

My grandparents didn't displace anybody when they built Tel Aviv. But Hamas still wants the Jews out of there too.

[8Thirst]

@beckyneiman

Tel Aviv was apparently Yemeni Jews. Is that your ancestory? in 1950 your grandfather participated by granting material or military support to a regime which stole the land from the people who gave you refuge from the Nazis. Jews were not safe in any country in Europe during both world wars so they moved in mass to Palestine. The zionist movement was born because of the first world war. Tel aviv wasnt a city until 1950. Before that it was the Jewish area of Palestine.

[beckyneiman]

@8Thirst Everything you said is factually wrong. Except for the fact that there were two world wars and there was a year called 1950.

[highlands555]

@DrDavidNeiman

And an atheist could also wish Zionists well- like myself.

[JOEYSTAX]

@8Thirst how do u know what he wanted?

[lornelz]

@8Thirst , I believe that the God you mention in your second statement is Ahura for Cyrus, therefore you and Dr. Neiman are in agreement. When Dr. Neiman mentions is that this is a Zionist decree on the part of Cyrus, it has nothing to do with a belief system. Zionists in modern times aren't always of any faith. I don't necessarily see a hidden agenda with this lecture as you seem to.

[WonderBread006]

@8Thirst

allah akbar



[pattonnn666]

@8Thirst wtf dude, this is not Zionist Prpaganda, the thing you said is propaganda !!

[Zartushta]

What a bullshit our gay professor said here. 2:08

What the fuck do the Persian sources indicate ?

[WildSilent]

Great work Dr. Neiman; Could you please tell us when these more than 20 official languages of Hakamaneshi disappeared from the political landscape of anciant Iran? Thank you

[asvalof]

@shahin2102 What your saying is true.

But its more of that. Ahura Mazda created the world for other gods basicly.

The other gods would be more like "governors" in provinces so to say.

Some were evil, some were good, some were neutral and some were not even in the good evil fight.

Its very similiar to the roman gods since they adopted a great many zoroastrian gods and mazdaki gods.

For instance : roman gods had their uses in war,trade,construction,death and life. just as the zoroastrian gods

[asvalof]

@chaimke7 i really hope for your sake that ur not a persian. if so, SHAME that you dont know your history.

Zoroastrian had over 1000 gods. The greatest all knowing was Ahura Mazda.

Then we have the evil spirit Ahriman who fights eternal with Ohrmuzd = the light.

There was also Mazdakism and Mithraism. 2 other persian religions. All of them had more than thousands of gods.

Greek and roman gods adopted alot from Those gods.

Some of the persian gods are proto Elamyte gods. but theyre pars asw

[Shahin2102]

@asvalof yes but zoroastrism was one of the first dualistic religions wasn't it? I'm Persian and my father always told me that Zoroastrism was an early form of monotheism because in the end, Ahura Mazda was the God of Gods. His counterpart would have been Angra Mainyu (ahriman). All the other 'gods' were not to be taken so seriously as for example the Greek Polytheism where there was a whole book full of 'gods'. Zoroastrism was much more dualistic than other existing religions...

[arman10864]

Wrong.

1) There is only one god in Zoroastrian religion, ‘Ahura Maz Da’. Ahura=Lord, Maz=Much and Da=Day -> therefore AhuraMazda= The lord much bright.

2) Zoroastrian is monotheistic dualistic, i.e. good vs evil, mazda vs ahriman, light vs darkness…etc. But there is only one God, Ahuramazda. This is because Ahuramazda is the creator where as Ahriman is only the destroyer.

By the way, I am a Persian Zoroastrian. If you want to learn about Zoroastrian theology, read GATHA only.

[asvalof]

@chaimke7 Are you retarded? Zoroastrian believe in 1 god? Theres more than a thousand gods in zoroastrianism. And zoroastrianism wasnt the only persian religion. There was mazdakism, MIthraism and another i dont rem.

Ahura mazda is the allmighty,allknowing. -

Ahriman = Evil spirit. who battles vs the light Ohrmuzd amongst us people.

and many many more. But theres alot of gods we never heard of before that existed in zoroastrianism.

i hope for your sake that ur not a persian. if so, Shame!

[dersim62zaza]

I love this man

greetings from Kurdistan

[ZendeghiBahal]

Read Harold Lamb's "Cyrus the Great". It's the best book on him ever!!!!! Harold Lamb is one of few authors on the subject to win awards in the west as well as in Iran. He cuts through the bias of Greek historians like a hot knife through butter, digging straight for the bone of the real story!

[chaimke7]

as far as I undrestand Zoatism predates all religions there callender is in the year 3750 ? 1000 years before Cyrus and 500 years before Gds revelation at sinai.Yes Abraham had a realisation of Gd and he probably taught the Pagans that became the Zoarats so he had plenty of time to learn about Gd. Further he is noted as a Messiach in Jewish scriptures a Pagan would not have had that title. maybe a Noachide would

[ZendeghiBahal]

As far as I have studied, Zartosht (the founder of Zoroastrianism) was thought to have lived no more than a generation before Cyrus. Cyrus was a Messiah to the Jews because he saved their butts from Babylon and restored their cities and temples, not because he was a monotheist.

[greenhilljohn]

This guy is just another fool who romanticises ancient gangsters. The "benevolence" shown by these maniacs was tactical. The underlying motivation of aristocracy was self aggrandisement.

[ZendeghiBahal]

Cyrus did not worship Yahweh. What are you talking about? He freed all enslaved people from Babylon, including Jews.

[chaimke7]

@ZendeghiBahal he believed in one Gd whatever you want to call him. Thats his message

[ZendeghiBahal]

@chaimke7:

One of the few existing quotes from Cyrus was, when asked for his blessing: "To Ahura Mazda (Zoroastrian Sun God), and whatever other Gods there are." What evidence makes you say Cyrus believed in one God?

[chaimke7]

The Zoroastrain belief is in one Gd. I think it means that he was accepting other peoples belief, Being politically correct(polite)

[ZendeghiBahal]

It is unlikely that Cyrus was a practicing Zoroastrian. The faith was very new and only existed in the far east of his empire. The Persian tribes were essentially Pagans, as Cyrus likely was.

[quicksilver231]

@ZendeghiBahal

Cyrus was monotheist

[chaimke7]

Ahura Mazda is The Great Gd

[cheapnonsmoker]

May Cyrus the Great rest in peace, you had revolutionary thoughts which should be more valid today than ever before!

[Persia0808]

Nicely lectured.

[Sorab10179]

I think Cyrus The Great is the influential man of the world.

[eddiesbasement]

thank you for posting this lecture. cyrus was a forefront for human rights and is the source of pride for all iranians.Most iranians wish to go back to their roots and what Cyrus envisioned for human kind not the disaster which is going on in Iran now. long live cyrus and his ideals.

[JOEYSTAX]

@eddiesbasement he was a tyrant... the public are always treated as worker bee hive slaves... subjects...come on now..

[badbooy13]

Long live Kurosh the Great. Long live Ahura Mazda and Zartosht.

[obliviouspet]

Thank you SO much for this. Really great to learn about my ancestors. Long live Kurosh the Great. Long live Ahura Mazda and Zartosht.
