  • @seanamico I am looking for Persian myths. I also teach comparative mythology and it would be great to include the creation story, story of Mithra and an afterlife narrative. I am looking for the stories themselves rather than about the stories or an interpretation. I try to work with primary sources as much as possible.

  • @seanamico I am listening. I have finished the course and found much in my research to support what you are saying. It seems, like the ROmans, the the Umayyad and later Abbassid caliphates conquered several areas adjacent to what is now considered the "Middle East" especially India and learned much from the highly developed culture they found there.

  • @Meaux55, Europe was affected as the world was affected by knowledge. Yes Arabs after hundreds of years and Arabs that did not live or be born in Arabia few existed but it took nearly 700 years and the knowledge was not Arabic or Islamic but educated people. I can give you hundreds of inventions by Iranians just in the last ten years from medicine, electronics, robotics and more and if you combine all so called Arab nations today it would ad up to not much.

  • @Meaux55, I read some of your arguments. Arabs, Mongols, Turks they invaded Iran but they did nothing to advance anything. People of Iran promoted themselves and what they invented, created to these Arabs, Mongols & Turks and if they liked the idea sold to them they would fund it, because if they did not sell the idea they could not advance there knowledge.

    Taking credit for people invaded is easy, they try hiding the fact that Arabs, Turks & Mongols had nothing to do with it.

  • Let sleeping dogs lie !

  • What of Al Hazen and his Ketāb e Manzarehā? Avicenna's Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb? Abd Al-Rahman in Cordoba? Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwaraznli and his Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabalah?

    Harun al Rashid? What I was asking about is the effect of the Mongols on Iran. They certainly had an effect on Eastern Europe, not necessarily positive.

  • @Meaux55, The city was sacked and burnt to the ground by Arabs, Ctesiphon was attacked by many but it was Arabs that destroyed its Universities, Hospitals, Libraries not Roman, they never got anywhere and got defeated over & over as they tried to invade our land.

    Mongols influence in what? Lack of education, knowledge, killing farmers and peasants, destroy all they dont understand as they were China. The only thing Mongols brought was yogurt and that is the only thing they invented.

  • @PunjabiGabroo01, Islam is a cult of an Arab war lord out to get rich but unlike his counter parts that were honest about what they were like Genghis Khan, Hitler and Mao he wanted more than just wealth he wanted to force far worst slavery than any other by trying to pose as a prophet but we all know he was only a profiteer.

  • @ReedamBeIslam The saudies have much to gain if Islam spreads in the west. Imagine each time a pilgrim goes to Mecca for Hajj/Umra who become richer.

  • I looked up Ctesiphon. What I found is that the Romans, with Julian, conquered the city, not 'Arabs.' The Arabs did enslave India. For this tip, I thank you. So you are Iranian? Wasn't there an influence on Iran from the Mongols?
