  • must see !!!!

  • WHAT is the name of the movie by ALEX JOVI, about the Cyrus the great ???

    i sure love to watch that movie ..

    pls let me know guys, if anybody know the movie ..tnx.

  • How many Iranians, Persians know that many descend from Elam, first son of Shem?

  • Cyrus The Great King Of Persia made me realized how small,insignificant,shallow,cr­uel and how inhumane the king of thailand is toward his neighbors,his guests and his subjects.

  • Some ppl have blue eyes or gold hair, some ppl have nice history/culture. everyone has different things to feel good about/good quality and we can all learn from each other. This country/region named Iran has probably contributed positively to humanity more than any other plus they dont kill ppl or start wars. They control history like hockey puck and they r not led only by they're darkest temptations or desires. Thats how we should all be and no one should be jealous of the Persians.

  • ok, I'll have to look into this, Xenophon's historcal books would have certainly be something they read, but that would be a Greek making a biography of a Persian. that wouldn't be the only case of Greeks doing such biographies. Plutarch also did to. At at any rate, I am not sure what the founding fathers would have gotten aout of that book, other than rational to have a constitution for a Free nation not run by a tyrant, which, from the Founder's perpective, is what Cyrus was.

  • This document overstates its case concering Persian influence on the constitution of the US.Just because a book was required reading(which may or may not be true)and that a book was part of Thomas Jefferson's Library, it doesn't mean that it was a signficant part of the constitution. It may be possible, but its still a stretch.

  • Your prejudices are keeping you away from truth.

    Look into my Channel to find the above video. You will notice that it stands right besides another about the Christians under the fists of some other prejudiced peoples.

  • Candles, U can certainly download this video, repost it & only allow comments that overshadow Cyrus with what the current regime has practiced.

    Now if u do that u will be on the same side as the Iranian Regim, only caring for your own group & belittling Cyrus who did not leave behind a legacy of slaughter, rape, ransack & plunder.

    Two type of comments can be posted in response to this clip, one that highlights lessons to be remembered or one that overshadows, belittles & diverts focus ...

  • Candles, My choice of the word "friend" was wrong.

    Those users are still on youtube ...

    Remove all ur commentaries & I will remove mine.

    Highlighting Cyrus's benevolence & respect for all ethnic groups & religions can set an example for every Iranian including the supporters of the current regime.

    Those who live abroad try to promote another side of Iran that the regime has been trying to replace with the expansion era of the Caliphs

    Ur commentaries overshadow the focus of this clip
