Search everything on google. Everything is historically correct. The first part about the persians gasing romans is still unsure if it really is true. But you can search it all on google. You have to have some energy to make your own research!

ok your right :) i thought you meant before the turks, but ok you won hehe

Were not arguing were debating, prove it my friend, which Persian dynasty held Turkey?

Then we'll agree that I'm right. :)

Oh and just to expand here were talking about Turkey not Anatolia before the Turks actually were there, I know Anatolia was part of the Achaemenid Empire but the debate was if the Persians have ever ruled the Turks so ...... go ahead.

[helloiamthecoool1]

Your wrong turkey was once part o the Persian empire but don't argue we are brothers :)

[khasseki]

That's just plain wrong!

The Persians have never conquered Turks, how can you they lived in yurts like Mongols they didn't have city states to conquer and the Persians certainly never conquered Turkey when the Turks eventually settled so I don't know what your talking about.

That cavalry man I referred to is either Ottoman Kapikulu or an Egyptian Mamluk I can't remember which it was but neither have ever been subject to Persians more the opposite in fact.

well not all islamic architecture is based on Sassanid architecture.... istanbul turkey has alot of ancient byzantine architecture that was there when the turks took the city which was originally constantinople and a geco-romen/christian city so they also took achitecture from them as well. modern persia has islam as their religion which is where the ideal that they are arabized comes from. Just so you know.

actually thats because before the Turks where called Turks they where part of the Persian empire and Part of the Persian army. they arent actual Persians but just one of many groups or tribes the Persians conqured as they built their empire. So thats still Persian cavalry just not a Persian from modern day Iran.

Anyway I've been studying history for 12 years and only recently realised why the Persian Army is how it is ..... bit of a revelation because nobody has ever said this on TV, books or anywhere.
