[shweetguy]

[manuelherrera777]

Incredibly interesting documentary, thank you for posting it.

[acerb45666555]

7:35.....there should be 5 or more drummers! i bet there was in ancient times. ........Punjabis still use many drummers!

[LegoGuy87]

i should make this persepolis capital out of kapla or jenga if i have 1000 sets!

that would be awesome

or just make a simple model out of paper

love persia

the sivand dam will probably destroy both capitals

[sahajad]

As I have mentioned before, Alexander the great should be called Alexander the Goat, for having destroyed this magnificent palace.

[amoo34]

Persians say NO to Izlam.

[MazdakTV]

Those iranians pissed of arabs are ignorant, just neglect them... =)

[99999999988888888]

How so?

[elerfe]

suez canal first man made canal prfft FAIL!!!!

[AriniaLendin]

I just want to know how they kept the palace clean. I mean think about it; it's not like they had vacuums or Windex or any of the cleaning supplies we have today. What did they do; sweep the carpets? Or shake the dust out every once in while? Or was the palace just dusty all of the time? Maybe the guests were really impressed at the size of the dust bunnies. I'm just saying.

[AriniaLendin]

Oh, and I am just kidding, BTW. The Persians are my favorite ancient culture, besides the Hittites. I love how tolerant the Persians were and how they introduced so many revolutionary ideas to the ancient world. If I ever went back in time, I'd want to be a Persian all the way! They paid their women workers and even gave them more than the men sometimes. They even had women generals! The ancient Persians are the coolest ancient culture ever!

[acerb45666555]

8:26...........there seems to be resemblance to north west Celtic art in this arm ring. it looks like a torque. its probably from a region close to modern Austria. eventually making its way to Persia by way of trade. a Celt traded it to a Greek, then the Greek traded it to a Cimmerian who traded it to a Persian.

[bio2811]

I wonder, how the visitors who entered this absolutely majestic place did not end up speechless before the King ... I would be thrilled even nowadays, even by walking through these ruins... it's a pity that these kind of civilizations, especially the eastern ones fall into oblivion and the world never knows much about them.

[orangesforeveryone]

Well said.

[loya2]

Some people talk abou arab occupation and forget that the Persian Empire was also a colonial power that occupied other lands including parts of Arabia.

[Tristan129]

Got a question to everyone from Persia:

Does anybody know what kind of ancient Persian writings survived and translated?

I am pretty much interested into old oriental literature(Gilgamesh) and I want to know what makes Persian writing such as unique as the Greek ones in poetry, literature and philosophy.

[dexterdamonkey]

it's very difficult to enjoy this historical and very interesting documentary with everyone insulting each other all over the place. I doubt any one can stop you, but please continue elsewhere.

[amoo34]

(Persialive)U are such a brainwashed loser it is not even funny ,shame on U , Arab lover why don,t u call yourself ARABALIVE.

[amoo34]

Arabs Islam dystroid Persia.

[Persialive]

if iran didnt become a islamic country,our women,daughters would act and live like the sluts in the west . i am glad,and above all proud that we follow the islamic laws in iran.

Long live the ancient persia,and our islamic iran.

[MazdakTV]

Islam __delayed__ Persia...

Arabs had nothing to do with it...

[mikegrecia]

[IranArtesh]

[PersianCyberWarrior]

god bless iran va iranian

god bless you ,Roya jan for sharing it

god bless persia

[naderBlackop]

Arabs can see Persian golf as will in the map =)

[persiandudeee]

ARAbs are facists and terrorists, it's pure fact!

[iranarabi]

Cyrus has died long ago, and since then many things have changed. (DON'T GET ANGRY BUT REFER TO THE HISTORY)

Now tell me: Is the current persians the same as those of Cyrus era???

The answer is "NO WAY".

Historical facts such as your arabic look, arabic alphabet, islamic religion, mosques, mollas, etc clearly show that iranians are ARAB descent.

This is a WELL-KNOWN fact to WHOLE WORLD, unless you fool only yourself inside you while the outside is something else (THE FACTS).

[persiandudeee]

Go fuck yourself you dirty tazi fuck, yes we do have semetic blood but not arab blood, arabs have more persian blood becouse many people in babyloan were persian themself and got mixed with the arabs when they invaded.Religion has nothing to do with it, we still speak farsi we still practice our culture,and we still have our ersian hospitality you ahvazi fucking arab roach.

[persiandudeee]

Btw it's the arab nomadick useless idiots that convert people by force, you know Iraq,egypt,lebanon? they weren't even arabs,but they were forced to convert to the camel humpers, they tried the same with Iranians, but our love for our culture, and history defeated the ayrabs, so stop living in lala land your culture is shit! your race is shit! tell me just one thing a tazi contribueted to mankind?

[ArminHomuncolos]

U dick fuck never compare us 2 the likes of u! U dick head, and our language is not even similar 2 dat disgracing arabic language of yours. Its just dat some fucking gay arabs have the power now in our country ! im so proud having kicked so many arab asses during ma life !

[poetlifeart]

Sadly Arabs have done a great deal damage to our country but if you look at genetic clustering you see little imprint of Hejaz arabs and Mongol invaders. This is because Iran was an anormous nation, the Iranian capital 1400 years ago had a million, that's right a million people. The few invaders who settled melted away. Arab speaking people in eygept or syria or Iran are not Arab by blood hejaz arabs had no culture so it makes no sense to talk of their cultural influence. They were primitives

[ordoga]

lol really, what d u mean by iran zamin, it is called media land, and now it is known as islamic land, stop pretending everything as gay iranains,or else we well send u guys back to mangolia,. and afgan desert.

[poetlifeart]

Media was a state as was persia.

both Medians and persians and Parthians

called their country Iranshahr, Iranzamin,

Iranwaych, Aryana over centuries.

I am from mazandaran and pars, I have

no idea where you come from, but if you

were a Median, you would know the name

of your country as it was written in both

sacred writing of medians and Persians.

[MazdakTV]

Shouldn't Media and Persia be considered one?

It just seems like a succession in monarchial lineage...

[poetlifeart]

another interesting you might be

interested to know is that only

Medians and Persians formed the

"immortals" these were trusted with

a King's life. Medians and Persians

were inseparable in blood and history.

They were the elite forces of the empire,

the ruling government, the religious

leadership.

[ordoga]

when u talk abt something with iranians, they start saying nonsence things like u, when the land was called media, there was no such a thing as iran or anything, so even before media it was called gotium, so i have no time to read nonsence things, that is what it is, parthia was after islam, and media is 2707 where kawa started nawroz.

[poetlifeart]

We are telling you the truth.

Do research.

media was media and persia was persia but the

WHOLE land was called various forms

of Iran. It is the name Aryans gave to their

land, means land of Aryans.

Btw watch this series of video and see how medians and Persians were inseparable.

This complex above in the video was built

to celebrate nowrouz in part.

Where did you grow up?

[ordoga]

i grow up in the place, which i learned true history, persians were not medes, when they concured us, they had no culture or writting, they named themselves medes, kurdish pretended himself as medes king, but he was wrong,

[poetlifeart]

what?? before either Aryan groups Medians and Persians got to these ancient lands, there was a great civilization called Elam. Elamites were Neither Aryan nor Semitic; You can even see Cyrus in Elami robe. Cyrus was the grandson of a median king and the son a Persian king. medians and Persians jointly ruled the empire. How can you not know these things? Did you grow up in a Western country or in Turkey?

[ordoga]

as i said i born in the heart of kurdistan, kirmashan, so, i take history as major at university, i belive the history i read, not the persian historians. tanx

[poetlifeart]

Persian historians?

Read Richard Nelson Frye and others.

Again, I am telling you the truth.

U don't want to believe me fine.

Go ahead with Medians were from

Mars and Persians from Venus. (then I guess

Cyrus came to be when the Venus and Mars

collided by accident lol)

bye.

[khoralx]

lol @mainstream university crap

[wolfsclaws94]

who was rong the movies and rhumors?

[ordoga]

cyrus is known as democratic king but he was a democracy destroyer, and i know his mom was daughter of diyako, so enough.

[poetlifeart]

Cyrus was a great humane king but make no

mistake he was not a democrat; his word

was to be obeyed. This is how Shahanshah

of Persian and media ruled.

[thebig1]

Indeed his name wasn't wet behind the ears OBAMA!!!

[ordoga]

what ever u say buddy, :)

[Tristan129]

I read some chronicles what happened after the Arabian invasion, so I am curious if someone can summarize what the Arabs did in Persia.

[BitingOsprey]

made it shit

[hatsoff456]

lol

[Tristan129]

No, Arabian invasion happened in Persia 700 AC. I read some chronicals of the time and it seemed that the Arabians made a real rassist suppression. Ancient writings were burned or thrown into the sea, Persians were treated as scum and forced to give up their religion and great monuments and temples were burned down. And Persians weren't allowed to become Muslims cause it was ''Arabic'' religion. Only after hard years they fought their right by finding a quote that Muhammed tolerated Persians.

[hsavad]

In the world that common cultures are merging in each other like the united europe, you kurds are still killing or being killed to be separated from other nations! Iran is not just persia, Iranian is not an ethinic group. Iran is a nation consisting many ethinic group merged together. Let's learn from india having hundreds of ethinic groups and religions, but leaving united with each other under the biggest democrocy on earth.

[iranarabi]

You cannot force people to live with you while you rule the barbaric laws.

Iranian culture is about humiliating the other ethnic groups like Kurds, Azaries, etc.

Indians never done that.

You love to appreciate things after losing them.

Indians never done that.

You are the ONLY NATION in the world who never allowed other ethnic groups to educate in their mother tongue. Extreme of inhumane suppression.

Indians never done that.

you right, you should've learnt from Indians. But too late

[persiarising]

We all acknowledge what an amazing humanitarian and a warrior Cyrus the Great is. "... I will not tolerate that the weak shall suffer injustices brougt upon them by mighty. What is just, pleases me...You, my subjects, must not assume what the powerful undertake as sublime. What the common man achieves is much more extraordinary." (Cyrus the Great)

[Naraku111]

im kurdish (median) we dont worship the persian empire leaders such as cyrus... we just pay respect to our ansesters

[yyasaman]

good for u, u want a cookie?

[Kurdistanakem]

put the cookie in ur ass bitch, how can u prove that this belongs to gay cyrus, he defeated media with some savage peole and he took over all the palaces

[hsavad]

The cookie in his ass is now well prepared for your mouth, enjoy!

[Doomdayz]

wow a kurd is calling other persians savage?

[ordoga]

we should come up with a new word for persians because they are savage than savage, all my kurdistani brothers are right

[poetlifeart]

proabably a half breed from Turkey.

You cannot be a real Kurd.

[ordoga]

fuck turkey, i born in the heart of kurdista, kirmashan

[poetlifeart]

All of Kurdestan including

occupied lands by Turks and Arabs belong

to IranZamin.

[poetlifeart]

You moron Cyrus was your "ansester" (

learn to spell btw) he was the grandson of

a Median King; medians and persians were

close blood relatives and the only

people of the empire with special status.

[Naraku111]

That must of been my brother who was on my account

however i do know that cyrus the great was son of MediaN Princess and his grandfather king of media(who he later on whent to defeat and create persian empire)

he never said that we arent close blood relatives

he said is we pay our respect

so i dont get what your mad about "moron"

[poetlifeart]

I see. I thought it was one those

"divide and conquer" crowd.

[Naraku111]

lol

just to tell you Kurdistan does not belong to iran :)

belongs to kurds(if thats what you were trying to say in one of your comments to some one else)

[poetlifeart]

kurdestan belongs to iran as iran

belongs to the kurds. One people,

one nation, all Aryan clans united:

Iranzamin. biji Iranzamin Heval.

[Naraku111]

:D in that case yes

iran does mean land of aryan there fore it belongs to kurds and persians as kurdistan belongs to persians and kurds

(these 2 lands was conquered by both of us at times and once we both conquered it togheter)

[poetlifeart]

you cannot conquer your own land.

yes it is yours.

[Naraku111]

that is true

as iran -persia is yours

[poetlifeart]

persia is one state of iran.

Not all iranian people are persian,

I am half mazandarani but all of

these states belong to Iranzamin.

[kami495]

Persians will rise again

[savio07]

Excellent documentary

[Omidir]

Thanks buddy

[germanicus24]

Oh, by the way. My native tongue is spanish, and I have translated this documentary to that language. Do you think you could burn spanish subtitles to it and post the whole series for spanish speaking people? I think it would be good for more people to get in touch with Persepolis. Just let me know.

[Omidir]

Oh God you did a great job. If you can give me your subtilte files I'll find a way to put it in my video.

Thanks again my friend.

[germanicus24]

If you give me your email I can send you the translation. I tried sending it as a message here, but it doesnt allow to send messages that long :(

[germanicus24]

Thank you very much for uploading this excellent documentary! Ive seen it hundreds of times but its never enough. Its very funny to compare the achemenid kings as they were depicted by Persepolis' engravings, and the achemenids from the propagandistic movie 300, among many things really.

[Omidir]

yeah I know. It's really funny to compare these two. But this is reality and I am proud of it. As a Iranian I love Cyrus the great becasue he was the first person who talked about "HUMAN RIGHTS".

Thanks very much for watching this movie!!
