    Interesting that all the cultural achievements of Persia cited by Anni Cyrus happened before the arab invasion. Then …….nothing but repression and incitements to excuse religious persecution.
    Glad the Perses have kept their own language, hope it’s enough to regain their true identity.

      Anni — I once heard it said that before Alexander the Great died, he was asked if he had any regrets about his remarkable life and achievements. He is reputed to have said, “Yes. I have but one regret — that I burned Persepolis.

      But what about the “Golden Age of Islam?” You know, when the Christians and Jews taught the illiterate Arabs, science, math, architecture, philosophy, etc. that the revisionist dogma claims was Islam’s achievement. Science flourished not because of Islam (just spin a globe today and it’s the same now as then) but in spite of it.

      It’s nice though that Anni mentioned several things in my book, The Braverman Tablet.

    Congratulations Anni! What a refreshing change from the usual Islamic horror stories! Yes, I an quite aware of the pre-Islamic history of Persia before it became Iran and what it is today under the mullahs. As a classicist (Greek and Latin) I can especially appreciate your presentation. Keep up the good work!

    Aynaz is rightly proud of her Persian culture but she overlooks a few major things in her Top 10 facts.
    Zoroastrianism was not universal among Persians. There was a substantial population of Christians from the earliest times. The calendar of the Orthodox Church commemorates many Persian martyrs, which points to their persecution under Zoroastrian rule, centuries before the Arab invasion which forced Islam on the majority of people in Iran. But the Christian communities of Persia did not cease to exist even after the Islamization of the country, nor was the Christian faith confined to non- Persian minorities but it co tinier to be lived and preached by Persians not only in their homelands but throughout Asia.
    The Church of the East, known by Orthodox as Nestorian, enjoyed state patronage in Iran and built churches in faraway Mongolia and China. The Primatial Throne of the Church stood in the Persian city of Seleucia-Ctesiphon until the Moslem fanatic grandson of Genghiz Khan mirdered him and seized churches to convert them to mosques throughout his empire.
    The liturgy of the Church of the East is a formative influence on Tibetan Buddhist ritual and art. Nestorian monks brought Syriac script with them to Mongolia where it is used to this day – albeit written sideways from top to bottom.
    Genghiz Khan’s mother was Nestorian Christian as were many upper class and common people through the Asia in those days.
    But the Church of the East suffered brutal repression under the latter Mongol khans whose embrace of Sunni Islam informed their hatred and inspired their bloodlust to rapine of the older, more sophisticated, humane and spiritual culture and faith of Christ native to Iran and Asia. The last Patriarch of the East, Aluben, who was ethnically Han Chinese and from China, was murdered and the Nestorian Church went into a decline from which it never recovered. The Christian history of Iran and all Asia has been largely covered up by Moslems and their western collaborators.
    Yet the Church of the East still worships Christ in its Iranian churches to this day and is not extinguished.
    So it is important to recognize that there is a major Christian story to be told about Persia and Asia in general. And the most salient fact in that history after the Crucufixion of Christ Himself, is the Islamic murder of that church.

      “……until the Moslem fanatic grandson of Genghiz Khan mirdered him and seized churches to convert them to mosques throughout his empire….”

      Can you please provide me the name of this fanatic Grandson?

        He probably means Tamerlane, who styled himself a descendent of Genghis.

      Interesting. The Church of the east, Nestorian exists in India, Kerala to be exact. Mar Aprem is the metropolitan. I spent a day taking food and talking with him and his Deacons about Buddhist Meditation. He got his degree at Union Theological Seminary and is a historian. We talked about the Thomas traditions in India.

      Also, many of these Christians were Gnostics, though today They might not know the word. In the 70’s. I went to Iran, lived the culture. Most of my friends were Baha’s. I met some of these gnostic Christians from Sulimaniyyih, the mountainous region. Many are what we would call Manicheans, or followers of the Prophet Mani.

    She may be good for writing the stories but she’s a horrible orator.

    Thankyou Anni Cyrus,
    you noted Zoroastrianism in pre-Islamic Persia as a great part of the Iranian peoples cultural tradition. I would encourage anyone who admires the Gospel of Love found within Christianity to take some time to read and discover its earlier manifestation within the surviving references to the teachings of Zarathustra. In important respects Christianity relaunched teachings about the central importance of love, including self love, that had been canvased earlier within the monotheistic Zoroastrian tradition. So yes, Anni, this early Zoroastrian faith, as old as Judaism, represents a true cultural gem that has benefited all mankind.
