​@@TRACKSTravelDocsThank you for the great video about the Achaemenid Persians. but we Also have ancient civilizations from before 5400B.C in Pars provinces of iRAN, like Aryan civilization of Tall-i-bakun and Tall-i jaleyan!! which Darius the great 2450 years ago in "dNA inscription" mentioned his Pars Aryan ethnicity AND "Aryan lineage"! who were the Aryan people of Tall-i-bakun and Tall-jalyan in Pars provinces of iRAN which Achaemenid and Sasanian empire's came from. And continued to use the same cultural and traditional symbols from both Aryan civilizations from before 5400B.C which is still used by iranian people today✌🏻🌼

Can we honestly expect caucasian "scientists" to render a fair and just interpretation of a non-white civilization? I think not! Knowledge of the world is already in big enough shambles, and will be engulfed in an even bigger one as long as caucasian people continue to "discover" and present THEIR insights to the rest of the non-white world.

I thought it you said was a city of tents and that the Persians were nomads? Also, wouldn’t they have destroyed it because it was the place where those that were conquered by Persia had to go and lie on their faces and pay homage in the form of taxes, it represented their subjugation in the form of architecture. Oppressed people often destroy those that oppress them or the symbols of those that oppress them and Persepolis would clearly have been the biggest symbol of their oppression.

À regular visitor to Iran between 1998 and 2002, my last visit in February 2002 will remain forever carved in my memory. That morning I had the privilege, on my 3rd visit to Persepolis, to be totally alone on the entire site. I walked through the ruins of ancient vestibules and corridors, kitchen and library and paid homage to the cliff carved tombs of the great Persian kings, including that of Cyrus the Great, unifier of the Pars tribes, in Pasargades. Only a solitary visit to the towers of silence of Yazd at sunset in 1998 possibly managed to match the emotions I felt at Persepolis. So many fond memories that I’ll have to revive with another trip together with my wife...

I enjoyed this documentary. I am from the United States, but I self-educated myself in a love of ancient history, which included an interest in the Persians. I recently saw a travelog on KZbin that showed a bit of Iran. In truth, it is a beautiful country. It is strange how politics and religion creates enemies. I guess all civilizations have their high points and their falls.. (maybe multiple times). I suppose that my country will do the same. What endures really is the beauty of the people, the land, the cultural highlights that they give to the World. It seems strange to me that Iran is such an enemy here currently or China or Russia or Cuba. Oh well, time will pass. Our relationships and values will change. I don't know that I ever expect total World peace-understanding;; but I think some underappreciated Cultures will be recognized over time for their nobility, creativity, and contribution to Humanity. I think we all count, but we have to learn to live together.

Iran has a beautiful culture and rich history. I really wish that one day, it will be safe to visit for Americans. Our governments are the problem. I believe our peoples are much more accepting and reasonable, than those in charge, who send our children to war against each other in order to gain power and wealth.

The Persian Empire was simply the most powerful state in the history of the world and their capital city Persepolis was the largest and most beautiful city in the ancient world

[@Bleak_Hope]

As an Indian, Zoroastrianism being sister religion of Hinduism. I am proud of Persians and their achievements. I hope one day Persians will get back their lost land and glory.

[@TomasBravenec]

thank you for making the documentary, and helping to rectify the history writing.

[@EvilSmonker]

Many saying that Persia is not forgotten, keep in mind that this is the Achaemenid Empire, not the Parthians, Sassanids or especially after. At this time, they were practically masters over the known world, but we have very little records of this specific time period of their history. Not about East vs West, but whether we literally have records of it or not.

Thanks so much for the awesome video. I 've studied Perspolice and still, I got very good information, especially about people's lifestyles.

[@5thdawg917]

Wow. The architecture they had around that time to do all that. Reminds me of ancient Egypt. I didn't know anything about the Persian civilisation.

این تمدن از تمامی تمدن های بشری بزرگتر و قدیمی تر است مثل تمدن جیرفت و شهر سوخته 🎉

Really good overview!! Nice work! Thanks.😅

[@12TribesUnite]

Wonderful video! What is missing from the analysis is the vast canal network that was in the old world and was "lost"...

[@MsArethusa]

Wonderful documentary, I would love to visit some day, if it please God ✨💚✨

[@ayushir33]

Beautiful documentary thanks..

[@Sultan11-MF]

This is a history thats hardly talked of. Interesting to learn more.

[@mahtabgolshanebrahimi494]

@Graf von Losinj you are very right

[@Amidat]

only in the west is it not talked of

[@StephanieSmith-e9k]

So fascinating 👏 thank you for the video

I was there in 2000, and I vividly remember how absolutely overwhelmed I was when I saw it in reality and strolled along the magnificent panels like in a dream. As an archaeologist, I have seen many great places of the ancient world, but for me, this was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. As regards the quality of the stonework, the only place where I saw something comparable (or, in part, maybe even better) was the - sadly much more destroyed - palace of Kyros at Pasargadae. I was still a student of Classical Archaeology then, and saying this when I was back at my university did not exactly help me to win friends amongst some graecocentrist-minded professors of mine...

If you ever visit Iran, you will find out Persian empire is not forgotten!

[@bethbartlett5692]

This pleases me. I love Persian, Peoples, Food, and History. Oh the Cats and Rugs are nice too... 😉

[@tasinal-hassan8268]

It's no more forgotten than Arab paganism is forgotten.

Tasin Al-Hassan for 5 years I always see you in all Persian/Iranian related videos with a huge hatred for Iranians, what is your problem really? you are just trolling or have a great grudge against Iranians? in political videos you defend Islamic regime and attack whoever is against them, in historical videos you always have full of hatred against Persians... really what is your problem?

[@sammohseni9821]

Tasin Al-Hassan ... what’s your problem ?

[@Jon.Alexander]

To everybody's surprise, Tasin did not return with an answer

Persia is the cradle of the great civilization and culture

[@Coldbrew365]

Mesopotamia is, not Persia.

[@kamran5756]

@@Coldbrew365 throughout history Mesopotamia is mostly part of Persia..

[@masada2828]

@@kamran5756 - Not so! Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Empire & Persian Empire. All Tribes spread out from Babel in Mesopotamia or, modern day Iraq.

[@kamran5756]

@@masada2828 yeah you put all that together you get persia

[@eshoo8000]

Actually Persia was part of Mesopotamia first. The cradle of civilization centre was more located in present day Iraq, not to lower the importance of Iran.

Looking forward to the day both Lawrence Shaw and Derek Pitman are hired to recreate the remains. Their amazing technology is stunningly accurate & revealing as one can turn 360 degrees to see their techy recreations based on what’s evident & known

[@leilas8201]

Will go back there again to check all these details with joy👍👌🙏
