As a Greek, I have great respect for our respectable enemy (the Persian Empire) because they were a great civilization and influenced the world much like us🇬🇷❤️🇮🇷
Greeks and Persians had so much together and history without either doesn't make any sense. Both brought so much to humanity.
@@nimacastro7664 I completely agree 👍🏻
two great nations
Greece = glory of Europe
Persia = glory of Asia
Right back at you my Greek Brothers and sisters ! 💖
Truly two awesome empires with great people, much respect! Love from Sweden ❤
From ancient enemy's to modern friend's
Im persian myself and it makes me happy to see a side where the persian arent made to look like monsters. Like in the movie 300 or something like that.
not all who decide for themselves can speak for others, you are the persia of today and you should uphold OUR families ancestors love
That was a comic version
the Movie 300 was made by the enemies of Iran. they hate us Iranians and they're jealous of our glorious civilization.
lets not forget that Human rights was invented by us Persians, we ended slavery and established racial equality in 539BC when the rest of the world were literally savages.
Persians should've been the good guys in 300.

@@iamhere8267 Nonsense!
Persian history is really underrated and rich history. Love from india
Yeah they are most of the times assumed as villains due to their war with greece in which Greeks are depicted as the Victorious defenders while the Persians as cruel perpetrators
@@varun-xu8gv not just because of Greece but also in India because if you will learn about Zoroastria, ancient religion of Iran before Islam you will notice that they used to refer to themselves as Asura and and their enemies as Devwas 🙄 do you see any connection,and strangely India Pakistan Afghanistan and Iran all have R1a geans,and maybe that's the reason when Islam attack Persia the farsi come back to India 🙏
@Mango Man 🙏
@Slim Pickens 😂😂
Actually the persia word comes from the word parshu which means battle axe in sanskrit( parshuram)
They are a rig vedic tribe that used battle axes.
Im mexican but love the Persian history..one of the empire well ahead of its time...
I’m Persian and Mexican 😅

Too bad our history is lost thanks to the Spaniards, would have loved to learn more about the Tarascan Empire and my Purépecha people
There’s a lot of Persians and Mexicans in LA
Im Greek and i admire Persia :)
@Alan the great thing about Greek gods is that they were like human in emotions
With respect to greek from Iran 🖐🖐💚💚💚😘
And we Persians love Greece
I’m a Persian Greek lover human being
Thankyou so much
It's wild that the Persian empire was so influential that people still remember and talk about them thousands of years later
that is because the persians invented the first highways, postal service, guitars, and many more
That’s where compassion and empathy came from.
@@theoddone887 Persians did not invest the first guitars. All of that came from India.
@@astra6712 Yes, this is correct. Much of the later religious teachings which stressed compassion and empathy were born out of Persia, Persian political, social, and spiritual values.
@@paulthomas281i am Indian guitar didn't come from India what are you talking about?
As a turk I admire the persian history, turks have been in contact with persians for hundreds of years and it’s nice to see how we share history and culture to some degree
Who are the original horse archers the indo european Scytians or the mongoloid Turkic peoples? I would argue for the Indo Europeans…
@@Judge_Magister Idk why ask me :/ My comment was just about how much I love persian culture
@@Judge_Magister Weren’t the scythians mixed? Like there were some turkic people in the population but most were indo-european I think. Although I couldn’t care any less since horse archers were apparent in both historic people although I believe turkic people fought as horse archers and horsemen for a longer period of time since they didn’t build a civilization for a long time and instead were nomadic and conquered areas
@Memoirs of a Dude Byzantine empire ende in 1453 though...
@Memoirs of a Dude the crusaders plundered everything of value from Constantinople before the Ottomans took the city. Then the Ottomans referred to themselves as Romans. Modern Turkey renamed the Greek cities in Anatolia to make it look more Turkic.
As greek I love and respect the aryan /Iran /Πέρσες/ because it was a such advantage civilization and very close to Greeks . 🇬🇷❤️🇮🇷
🇮🇷🤝🇬🇷
The word Arya means nobleman or civilised man in sanskrit it has nothing to do with Iran
@@sohamchikte9171 when you doesnt have any knowledge about the history ,just shut your big mouth abdul .the aryan people used for indo_iranian group of indo_europeans who originated from the central Asia modern day Kazakhstan (way before the turkic tribes came there )

@@sohamchikte9171 the word airanam came in avesta as people many times
And darius and Xerxes the great mentioned this word as their identities are Aryans

@@saracen5039 most but not all, or would you just casually shrugh of Julius Caesar?
Yes he was indeed Great
Cyrus the great was a decent human being and merciful conquerer.
A great king.
There's no such thing as merciful conqueror.
He wants nothing but blood and expansion of kingdom, and rule over other people that minded their own business
How do you know? Did you know him personally?
@@mahkanyazdani5990 if u need to conquer u need to crush others. Which technically contradict with the idea of mercy right ...
@@Aj-hs5vw Yeah but he conquered and abolish slavery in all territories that he conqured. If there is a reason why he want to expand his kingdom, that will be to spread his teaching and revolutionary societal rule. If persian had won the battle in greek, slavery can be abolish thousands of years before modern times. You will probably wonder how the world will thrive with a government that does not discriminate different faith and ban slavery.
Mind you, every kingdom around persia at that time glorify slavery and sacking other cities. Cyrus probably conquered the other kingdom to eliminate the constant looting and sacking of his territories and at the same time spreading the persian way of life without slavery and without discrimination.
Guys listen to Dan Carlin's podast King of Kings parts if you want a complete story of what was going on back in Mesopotamia back then and when medes and persians came to power the guy only release a chapter every 6 months or so. It was a bloody mess, a unification was needed whether you are pro persian or not these folks and kingdoms had suffered a lot under assyrian rule and Cyrus the great was a complete game changer of his age truly considering his background of being a nomad of nothing.
Persian empire is my favorite in history ❤️🇵🇭❤️

A beautiful and avanced culture. Such amazing and fascinating people.
Love and respect from Sweden ❤
Being Honest was the most precious thing that anyone could have in ancient Persia ♥
Persian history, civilization, culture, customs and traditions have been one of the richest and most beautiful empires of all time. The first kingdom of the world was Cyrus the Great. A prophet who embodied all the purity and goodness of his time. But he did not force or enslave any people. Liberation of the Jews. Reconciling nations. Due to the enmity and perhaps jealousy of European historians and unfortunately the destruction of history books due to the invasion of Alexander and then the Arab invasion and then the Mongol invasion, historical information about Iran is much less than information about Greece or Rome. The impact that the Iranians had on the evolution of human society, whether through inventions and discoveries and having the greatest scientists and physicians, is a great blessing to humanity. I hope that the services of Iranians to the world will be paid more and better. And know that the Islamic Republic is not the representative of the pure land of our ancestors.

*_8:45_**_ Yes. The Greeks were extremely proud of their freedom especially 2/3rds of their population who were slaves to the other 1/3rd_*
Are you sure in spartan it was 1/7 and it's true
@@alizamanlou437 The Spartans had more slaves than anybody. Spartans had to be soldiers by law, guess who had to do the farming? Slaves. That’s why the 300 movie is so funny.
So what? Cyrus II was the _only_ emperor in ancient times (& the only ruler until the 18th century!) who abolished slavery in his empire. The Greeks were far from the only people to keep slaves; African societies took & used slaves for centuries before any white man thought of going to Africa--when they weren't being enslaved, brutalized, & transported up through North Africa by Arab Muslims, that is. There are even records of African slaves being imported to China.
As ancient civilizations go, some of the Greek city-states had more freedom overall than any other during their era.
@@schechter01 India did not have slavery
@@dynamitebsb4520 they had even ones from africa

In the past, the territory of Iran was very large, and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, and eastern Turkey, and today's country of Iran together formed Greater Iran. The families of the Iranian ethnic groups are: Tajik, Pashtun, Ossetian, Kurdish, Baluch, Persian, Punjabi, Lor, Azeri, Tat, Talesh, Hazara, Talesh, Armenian, Afghan, Gilak, Zaza, etc. The Persian Empire was the first great empire in the world and the oldest country in the world is Iran ، Many people think that only Persians are Iranians, but Persians are just a group of large Iranian ethnic families ، The empires of Iran are: Elamites, Madians, Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, Al-Buwayh, Saffarids, Taherians, Samanids, Khwarezmshahis, Safavids, Afsharians, Zandids, Qajarians. Of course, the Seljuks, the Ghaznavids, the Timurids were Turks, but they considered themselves the great kings of Iran and spoke and wrote in Persian. Of course, the Qajars were also of Turkmen origin, but they also loved Iran and spoke Persian and considered themselves The kings of Iran knew .Historians consider 7 countries as ancient and native countries, which are: Iran Ancient🇮🇷 , China Ancient🇨🇳 , India Ancient 🇮🇳, Rome Ancient🇬🇷 , Egypt Ancient 🇪🇬, Ancient Mexico🇲🇽, Ancient Africa 🇿🇦.
Tajikistan is part of the Iranian Empire and the Samanid rule was Iranian Tajik.

Ahahaha. All human being. Making things complicated
Fool I am from India , before 200 BC Iran is under Hindu emperor keep this in your mind...
@@jai_ji499how you know that?
Persian empire is not Iran just like Roman empire is not Italy.
According to historical data, the Achaemenid Empire in its largest territory extended from the Balkans and Eastern Europe in the West and to the Indus Valley in the East. This empire reached its highest area during the time of Xerxes I, which was about 8 million square kilometers (3.1 million square miles). A region that includes Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Bahrain, China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Georgia, Turkey, Chad, Sudan and many other regions of the world. It would be today.
The Achaemenians were the first unified empire that ruled this vast area for more than 200 years and are also known as the first superpower in history. On the other hand, one of the special records of the Achaemenids is ruling over 44% of the total population of the planet at the time of the peak expansion of the territory, which has no similar case in history.
Not 44 percent they never been to the America continent the whole other half
I wish the Persian rule under Cyrus continued till this date, I wonder how the world would be! The current injustices and economic slavery in this world is sickening !! Ancient cultures tell us so much about the current cultures, look at Iran people, in my personal experiences, all Persians I have met are very hard working and honest people!
Yeah, right but the Iran will amputate you for theft? A very suppressive regime. Cyrus ruled a pre islamic kingdom
Over the next 5,000 years we will all be liberated. You’ll reunite with loved ones from previous lives. The Domain expeditionary force just needs to build up their fleet to overturn the earth governments. Then we’ll have new bodies they don’t require sleep or as much food. We won’t need to eat meat or plants. We’ll just eat a chalky white substance for nutrition. Things will improve. And we will all perhaps return home one day.

At the 11:27 mark of the video you'll see a fake depiction of Xerxes and a very important artifact behind him that's coincidentally blurred out. You should see the actual image, it's called "The Frieze of the Archers" and it'll show you how the Persians depicted themselves.
What I love about then is they disseminate the equality, justice and democracy
There friezes showing Ethiopian kings honouring the Persian Shah in Iran,The Persians also Ruled North Africa..
I want to go all over Africa and I want to visit Sandton!
@@Quan_Fu , Persians were & are white people. All Iranians are white originated from Eastern Europe long before the arrival of the Slavs. Aryans(Scythians) who migrated to the Iranian Plateau 8 to 10,000 years ago & gradually established their various kingdoms (one of them was the kingdom of Persia). About 2500 years ago Cyrus the king of Persia united all the Iranian kingdoms into one empire (Iranian empire & called it Arya-Shahr, which means the Aryan-Civilization) today it's known as Persian empire because Cyrus was an Iranian-Persian.
The Iranians had developed many Iranian dialects over time so after they were unified by Cyrus the Great Iranians used their Persian dialect as their unifying dialect which is used to this day. Persian dialect evolved from its ancient Persian to Middle Persian (Pahlavi) and to its modern Persian (Parsi/Farsi) today.
The Persian Empire is literally a biblical empire. Cyrus the Great was in the Bible as God's right hand to create the largest empire the world had ever seen.
So because cyrus was real the bible is too?
@@blacksmoke3113 yes from the begginning
@@spongebob2374 sorry, it doesnt work that way. New york is real, it doesnt mean spiderman is real. The bible was written LONG after cyrus lived and died. If it were so vitally important, why did a writing culture wait 500 years to write it?
@@blacksmoke3113 EXACTLY!!!! As a former Christian, it’s hilarious to see how blinded they are to the divide between biblical stories and HISTORY.
It's very simple. All rulers are the Most High's puppets. He sets up empires and puts them down and determines who rules next. He even controls their minds to fulfill his will.
Daniel 4:25 KJV That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

Correction-
Immortals were very different, they were taken as a young baby and are raised in a special section of the kingdom ,
They ALWAYS would wear mask and no one out side of that special area ever knew what that person looked like thus in case someone died another from the unit would replace them and giving the impression of IMMORTAL.
And they were trained in every form of fighting be it archery, swords of all type(I hope you understand the difference of fighting style when the size and shape of the swords vary), well versed in poisons , spear techniques.
It is said that they have never came back deleted .
Their will to serve the kingdom was so great that even if someone was dying they would use the poisons they were carrying to take down a good number of them

Where is Persia today ? If it was that much great where is the country name Persia. You didn't able to save your religion Zoroastrianism and call yourself great. Learn from other ancient civilizations like China and India about how to save your culture and religion.
As an Iranian I should let you all know that about %90 of our history is burned to the ground by Mongols and there are so many different versions to each of the sections that you have explained depends on who wrote them.
Well done! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Great documentary and history I really like it and you learned a lot to these video and story about our history and the life of our great warrior during ancient times.
The world need more leaders like Cyrus The
Great and Darius The Great
It was an accident that they were imprisoned here.
Much of Greece was Persian territory and because of the peace brought about by the Persian rule, Greece prospered so much (even Herodotus was a Persian citizen). After Alexander (the not so great) Greece was devastated, and there was no more peace to bring about intellectual work. That put an end to Greek cultural and intellectual influence in the world.
When Alexander the Great became King, Persia was conquered entirely. That was the END of Persia and the beginning of a Greek Golden age

@@supremo9336 they will outlive them aswell . Iran is history of a people and a land that keep going and rusing up . Usa is history of an unstable union between a group of different migrants and states .
Iran saw much worst . Its capital persepolis was rased , but they had the last laugh .
I’m happy to finally see a history video that speaks the truth of Persians in terms of their sophistication and how they built the infrastructure of human civilisation in terms of social connections and government systems.
very nice vid
thanks 🙏🏽
Actually, Darius I (aka the great) just wanted to punish Athens because they helped the Ionians with their revolt and he himself wasn't present at Marathon and he wasn't the one who passed the see
That was his son, Xerxes
Still, he was clearly the invader
@@nestormakepontos9700 you forget that the Greeks had gone unpunished for pirating the sea until they killed thousands in Sardis
@@zanny7819 "pirating the sea"? What? The Greeks tried to liberate their lands and people in Asia minor with a long revolt.
@@nestormakepontos9700 liberate their land from what exactly? The Iranians were even lenient and kind towards the Assyrian state, which had just decades prior, ruled over them harshly. The main reason behind Darius' counterattack, as is said on the behistun inscription, was the Greek caused fire in Sardis that killed off the majority of the city's inhabitants.
Either way, we know that Achaemenid rule, with slight exceptions, was nearly never bad for those ruled over. In contrast to the yunanis (referring to everything was of the Achaemenid empire) who would massacre entire populations for attempting revolts while simultaneously enslaving everyone not from the major cities.
@@zanny7819 "massacring everyone while ensöaving all from the Great cities"
Let me expose this lie. When did Alexander the Great enslave anybody? When did he enslave Egyptian cities or When did Alexander enslave the family of Darius the third? NEVER.
What you are trying to do is show that Persians are angels and Greek would be bad guies, but don't forget it : Persians stole Greek region in asia minor first! And Persian rule wasn't good, people were enslaved and sometimes had to John the army. In contrast to that, people who were oppressed by the Persians like the Egyptians, saw Alexander the Great as a heroe and crowned him as a King or Pharao
Love and respect from Iran/Persia ❤❤❤
