I nearly skipped past this due to there being so much guff on youtube about ancient history, in respect to aliens and other nonsense... I'm glad I didn't. Very nice to hear.
so do you suggest Iran could be dual ,triplet ...poly theistic, look there are some religions w ho are so obsessed with the notion of multi-fold deity that it makes them think believing in only one God is wrong,the fact is that one also can claim mono theistic convictions in Iran is rooted deeply in ancient Iranian history, actually some western thinkers have shown the creation and heavenly judgement is an Iranian invention which is the base for Abrahamic religions
the remarkable fact is what Dr. Stolper describe as ancient Iranian mentality such as multi lingual/ethnic empire whose core is not founded upon racial basis but rather upon the divine right as an obligation to rectify the course of history in terms of liberating opperesed nations sounds really familiar since the foundation of Iran ..up to the current time,
brilliant, Dr.Stolper seems to be a true erudite regarding the way he shows deep insight into early Iranian history ,
he treats the subject rather well in terms of linguistics , as well as ethnic aspects of ancient Iran, and I suppose it really accounts for the current Iranian politics and culture as well,

Shame that modern Iran is so mono-theistic and intolerant
