Re: Cyrus the Great,
I'm fairly new to this board, I just completed my undergraduate studies and wrote my senior thesis on Cyrus in college. This piece of work is my pride and joy. If you'd like the details let me know! |

bravo! that was an excellent essay, i completely agree with you about how cyrus is brushed aside in history by such politicians as julius caesar. Cyrus deserves a far more honoured place in history. I can think of no better ruler than cyrus - he was a skilled tactician in war, performing the first unplanned military manouvere in battle, and also an exceptional statesman and above all a leader who so inspired his people that they referred to him as "father".
I am sure though that it was darius who invented the postal system, Is'nt that so or have i been mis - informed?

you can call me a spy but it marks you out as a immature conspiracy theorist who likes to believe that spies are coming to get you all the time and we must defeat their evil presence! give it up you james bond wannabes.
you wanna know why i sometimes disagree with persian culture? its because persian culture is not perfect, no culture is! and by idealising persia's past you make saints out of ordinary men. cyrus was a practical master of politics. read xenophon's education of cyrus or perhaps herodotus's histories. - respecting cultural diversity is a neccesary tool to hold an empire together, it would not have survived long otherwise.
if you ban me you prove that you are as barbaric and totalitarin as stalin.. |

Might it be that this Israeli Judge shot to death by a palestinian "militant" ( as Reuters call them ) was of Iranian descent ? The last name sounds a bit Iranian:

total CIA hangout.
With all this tolerance bullsht, let's not forget that the Aryan Persians believed themselves to be absolutely superior to all other races;
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/herodotus-persians.html
Of nations, they honor most their nearest neighbors, whom they esteem next to themselves; those who live beyond these they honor in the second degree; and so with the remainder, the further they are removed, the less the esteem in which they hold them. The reason is that they look upon themselves as very greatly superior in all respects to the rest of mankind, regarding others as approaching to excellence in proportion as they dwell nearer to them; whence it comes to pass that those who are the farthest off must be the most degraded of mankind. Under the dominion of the Medes, the several nations of the empire exercised authority over each other in this order. The Medes were lords over all, and governed the nations upon their borders, who in their turn governed the States beyond, who likewise bore rule over the nations which adjoined on them. And this is the order which the Persians also follow in their distribution of honor; for that people, like the Medes, has a progressive scale of administration and government.
With pride comes power. Just look at the Jews. |

yes let us look at the jews, of all the nations of the world none has suffered more and been pushed around by other nations more than the jews. All because they believed they were better than others their arrogance caused friction and so everyone kicked the **** out of the jews for being arogant. _________________ "When on the battlefield if you have the sole intention of breaking into the enemy lines, you will manifest martial valour.

I'd much rather have you keep your nazi views to yourself, you have nothing worthful to contribute to this board except creating fiction.
Don't forget to salute your Fuhrer on your way out, you jew-hating ****!
P.S. This board is an activistboard, a place to share ideas on how to remove the Islamic Republic occupying Iran and how to bring freedom and democracy to Iran, if the best label the Islamic Republic can give us is "CIA-sponsored board" then let them call us that! _________________ JAVID IRAN!

learn to walk before you try to run and fly, ignorant conspiracy theorist your idiotic claims make me laugh! i merely presented the facts i have no problems with jews at all! in fact my best friend is half jewish! how stupid can you get, in my post did i once incite hatred of the jews? no, all i did was present the fact that throughout time people such as the egyptians, assyrians, babylonians, russians and most obviously the nazis have persecuted the jews. then a logical step can be taken to assume it was because the jews belive they are chosen and everyone else id doomed. Liberator you should first learn something before you try to give a seminar on it. _________________ "When on the battlefield if you have the sole intention of breaking into the enemy lines, you will manifest martial valour.
