In the Western world there is always a bias against any non European nations. They twist the truth.

Well, there's no "bias" against Persia from a Western perspective, sure maybe some people equate it with a typified eastern nemisis but in reality it's western academia and intelligentsia itself that has always preserved and even enabled academic and historical interest in the Persians--the Umayyads and subsequent rulers did not really want Persian History to be remembered past its conquest.

Honestly I don't know what kind of strange history was taught in your school but the history presented to me as a child revered the Persians as examples of civilization and refinement. Greek perspectives are the dominant lens western historians viewed Persia and at the times of Macedonia and Greece Persia was far more advanced a society and that wasn't a shock to anyone.

History is written by the conquerors. Greeks were influenced by Persia. Greek philosophy date back to 400 BC, classical Greece, Plato and Socrates. And Greek scientists and philosophers in the classical period were influenced by Persia, the first Greek philosophers came from Miletus in Anatolia, not mainland Greece. " Professor Mary Boyce in her A History of Zoroastrianism: Volume II: Under the Persians (Leiden, 1982) at page 150 gives an overview of the influence of Zoroastrianism on the philosophers of Ionia. " " Miletus was an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia. It was situated near the mouth of the Maeander River in ancient Caria. By the middle of the 6th century BCE, Miletus had become the greatest and wealthiest of Greek cities. Nowadays, the ruin is found near the town of Balat in Aydin Province, Turkey. The Ionian city-states such as Miletus were settled by the Greeks around 1000 BCE. " " According to Eric Gerlach of Berkeley City College, "That the first Greek philosophers came from Miletus suggests Persia had a particularly powerful influence, which would be corroborated by Christianity (influenced by Persian Zoroastrianism) spreading through Syria and Ionia to the rest of Greece and Egypt centuries later. There was not much difference between Miletus and Athens other than Miletus having been under the Persian Empire in the centuries before its greatest thinkers arose." "Greece was not yet a political entity at the time, but shared a Homeric culture with other Greek city-states such as Athens." " According to Diogenes Laertius (3rd cent. CE) at 1.8 of Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, Hermippus also published Peri Magon, On the Magi, a multi-volume work on the Magi who were viewed as Oriental wisdom-teachers. The Magi were Persian priests. " Greeks were lucky because their books were not burned, but our books were burned by invaders. " In reading the works of classical Hellenic (Greek) authors it appears that in some regards, the Greeks were almost obsessed with Persian culture. They journeyed, studied, and practiced Persian philosophy and skills, but then unfortunately either claimed this knowledge as their own or disparaged the Persians. " Don't forget, history is written by the conquerors.

@@tasinal-hassan8268 "Made by a company that was then managed by a man named Matsuda, the name “Mazda-go” sounds fitting enough.

Key members of Toyo Kogyo interpreted Mazda as a symbol of the beginning of the East and the West civilization, but also a symbol of the automotive civilization and culture.

From Mount Nemrut Pantheon of Armenian Gods (sometimes called the Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World) erected by King Antiochus Theos (86-38 BCE) of Commagene.In the Armenian heathen Pantheon Mihr (Mithra or Mithras in Latin) was considered a supreme deity. Mihr was the personification of the Illuminating Rays of the Sun. The Grand Temple of Mihr/Mithra was located in the town of Bagaharich in the county of Derjan of the Upper Armenia province of Greater Armenia. The earliest mentioning of the worship of Mithra has been recorded in the Armenian Kingdom of Hurri-Mitanni. It was found in the cuneiform inscriptions of the Hittite capital Hattusa during the 1907 archaeological excavations. The Hittite cuneiform inscriptions mentions some of the notable Armenian Gods and Goddesses that made up the Armenian pantheon of Gods in the Mitanni Kingdom. The Hittite king Suppiluliuma (reigned between 1344 to 1322 BCE) ordered the recording of a peace treaty between himself and the Armenian king Šattivaz (reigned ca. 1350-1320 BCE), who represented the Hittite and Armenian kingdoms respectively. Suppiluliuma swears upon the great deities of Armenia and specifically calls upon Mithra to bless and protect the treaty of friendship and peace between the kingdoms of Hatti and Mitanni.As was noted, this treaty was made in the 14th century BCE, and this is the earliest recorded inscription that mentions Mithra as one of the supreme Gods of Armenia. This is roughly one thousand years before the God Mithra is mentioned in the Iranian inscriptions and the Indian Vedas. Some Indo-Iranian scholars have wrongly attributed Mithra as an Iranian or Indian deity, however as we have seen, the oldest inscription that sites Mithra as a God comes from the above noted 14th century BCE inscription that mentions Mithra as an native Armenian deity that occupied a very special place in the Armenian national Pantheon of Gods.owever, what these scholars fail to realize is that in the Gathas, the earliest sacred Zoroastrian texts attributed to Zoroaster himself, Mithra is not mentioned. Furthermore, Mithra also does not appear by name in the Yasna Haptanghaiti, a seven-verse section of the Yasna liturgy that is linguistically as old as the Gathas. Many scholars have noted that the lack of any mention (i.e. Zoroaster’s silence) of Mithra in these texts implies that Zoroaster in fact had rejected Mithra. This is supported by the fact that Zoroaster did not mention Mithra was because in fact in the earliest Avestan writings both Mihr-Mithra and the Armenian Matron Goddess Anahit are condemned as “daevas” or “false gods” or “daemons” that were not to be worshiped....t was only in the fourth century BCE, when we for the first time find the mentioning of Mithras in the Iranian context as a “positive’ deity of the very radiance of the Sun in the inscriptions of the Achaemenid king Xerxes II Mnemon. The Religion of Mithras or Mithraism as it became known in the West would soon spread beyond borders of Armenia, not only towards the East, towards Iran and India, but also that of the West. Mithraic temples known as Mithraea sprang up all over the Roman Empire. They were mostly promoted by Armenian aristocrats who already by this time were prominent generals in the Roman Army. Armenian King Tiridates III is a good example, who prior to his coronation was a prominent general in the Roman Army, it was Emperor Diocletian a close friend and fellow Mithraic devotee of Tiridates who asked the Armenian king to take the challenge of personal combat from a Gothic chief, Trdat successfully stood in for the Emperor and won the tournament....By the second century AD Mithraism was virtually the state religion of the Roman Empire and virtually all of the Roman Emperors during this time and prior to adoption of Christianity in the Fourth century CE were high initiates of the Mithraic mysteries.

I have a series on the Parthians which is almost concluding (part 6 at the moment) and will be doing Sassanid after as Id finished Achaemenid and moved on to Parthians. May not be for you but I offer it up :)

The most important characteristic of an empire is their contributions made to the civilized world. Today's western civilization is based on democracy invented in Athens Greece. NOT IN PERSIA OR IRAN! Also all terminology of every science is based on the Greek language. The Greek ambassador gave a speech at UN in English using words only of Greek origin. This confirms the influence of the Greek language and its contributions to worlds civilization.and culture.

@mercury vibe you just condemning Islam by saying that. Even they know zoroaster. That's Ali khamenei first successor. Whom they worship as God. Your kinda too stupid. Revelation said all are made to worship the first Beast that received the deadly wound 2500 years ago in Iran .and the guy that makes you worship him the 666 beast is the same guy that was slain healed. His name is Zoroaster always has been since I arrived in a Columbus ship..it's the same just you are new to the war. You have been tricked worshiping Satan as God you have been drinking this cup that runs over with the blood of the saints and Christian's that call you out on this for 2500 years.

@mercury vibe I got this from Iran side of history a few years ago when Obama tempered with the 2500 year Iran, Persian medo , Christian's war inside the Iran deal. So where is the water? I didn't use my history I used yours

Multiple inaccuracies. Not first class, but still good.

@@SuperPope69 it isn't good enough. Those are biblical events and he covers them politically. And still none of it is biblical but it's right as political. He doesn't know the scriptures , he can't interpret them.

برای شما .. آیا می دانید عاشقان چگونه هستند ...؟ درست مانند یتیمانی که دست محبت آمیزی روی سر دارند ؛ این کار را برای شما می کند. دو کلمه عشق آن را به عادت شما تبدیل می کند. توجه کمی شما را به شما محدود می کند. بدانید چگونه عشق را سرشار از عشق پراکنده کنید… دست به آسمان نزن فقط آنها می خواهند تو به نحوی از کتاب زندگی من بیرون نیایی صفحه مردی که در آن زمان مرا نگه داشت وقتی در زندگی تهیدست بودم . امروز تو را دیدم ، قلب من ، کجا آیا می توانم عشقم را به تو ابراز کنم من می خواهم شما را در زندگی خود بگنجانم هر چه تصمیم بگیرید من موافقم . آیا شما شریک من خواهید بود ...❤❤🌹🌹

looting ,torturing and Slaughter of innocent soul is part of your inspiration too ?

@@majidjon13 literally all empires did the looting, slaughtering, torturing, and so much more. That's how they became EMPIRES. This was the way of life until very recently.

Persian empire wipe out by Alexander the great

Your grandson will be known as Buddhist massiah

@@majidjon13 bruh, everyone even the modern American empire had done this to become an empire. It's how empires are made.

That is very true.
