Isa 45:1 *this prophesy was given 150 years prior to Cyrus' Victory over Babylon. * Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; * Please refer to you're Bible for the rest of Issiah (Isaiah) 45. Daniel showed Cyrus the prophesy, thereby earning the Hebrews their right to return to Jerusalem.

The Greco-Persian Wars had nothing to do with the Hebrews. In fact it had very little to do with religion. It was about Greece coming together to defeat a main enemy aka. the Persians. It should be pointed out to you that the bible was written AFTER this event was written about historically and is even more far away than when the event actually took place.Please leave your religious semantics off of historical talks.

13.52 to 14.00 Greece and India on either sides of Persia Both must have won battles against against Persia that’s what is said in the lecture sure that’s correct But let’s see what happens as history matches on Years later Greece under Alexander the not so great crushes Persia .Alexander then moves on but is defeated and repulsed by King Porus leading one of the smaller peripheral kingdoms of India ( The large and mighty Magadha empire further to the east of Porus’ s small kingdom was not encountered by Alexander which was perhaps a lucky event for him) Many centuries later the new Abrahamic religions from Middle East conquer both Greece ( Christianity) and Persia ( Islam) But India continues to hold on to its ancient religion Sanatana dharma Hinduism Not only that India gives refuge to the Zoroastrians when they are pushed out of their home land Persia and those Zoroastrians continue unchanged or unconverted till today safe under secular India Ancient Greek religion and culture has vanished and is today confined to academic studies whereas the ancient classical Indian relgiocultural practices thrived on (and is still being practiced by its billion population )and were even exported to China Japan Thailand and Cambodia Indonesia etc ( Buddhism to the first three and Hinduism to the other two) Overall in the pages of history India emerges the better of the three (Greece Persia and India )

Mahesh M to be honest as iranian, I agree with you and I think India will be top 3 world power even beating US in the next 50 years

tom holland is informed only on story of 300 which he brags on and on every time he talks about greeks

[@motorcop505]

That is idiotic. He has critiqued many facets of the classical world. Perhaps if you ever reach college and take some basic history classes you might be able to grasp what he says.

Can't listen to this. The sound is painful to me. Really bad. What a shame. What a waste.
