How cool were the Ancient Persians? I hardly ever see anyone talk about them compared to the Greeks.
>>18668080>How cool were the Ancient Persians? Well, they were hot. Like really hot... have you seen where they live?>I hardly ever see anyone talk about them compared to the Greeks.Because anyone here is us in the western sphere or whatever you want to name it. We worship their enemies which were Greeks and Romans. Doesn't help that USA and Israel are also in a pissing contest with them, while their own mullah government is mostly hostile toward pre-Islam Iran (Eranshahr).
>>18668080Pretty cool. Cyrus actually gave a shit about trying to be a good ruler and not being cruel to conquered people for the lulz.
>>18668080Theyre extremely overrated the acheamandis laster for like 200 years
>>18668087I remember back in high school my history teacher made the class write a whole essay on if the Greeks would've been better off under Persian rule since their leaders were actually pretty chill and tolerant for the time and the only argument against it was pretty much just "muh democracy!"
>>18668083>Well, they were hot. Like really hot... have you seen where they live?You don't have a lot of friends in real life, do you?
>>18668080Overrated
>>18668080I love greeks but persians were cooler>I am Xerxes the Great King, son of King Darius, an Achaemenian, a Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, of Aryan stock
>>18668112Correct, I'm Greek. It's all tourists here in Thessaloniki. Two of my closest friends here are an elderly Iranian couple that own a restaurant near the coast lol.>>18668120>words words wordsChuds can't meme.
>>18668135They are correct about the Persians though
>>18668145>My football team is better than yours word salad>Some image of a statue and some rock carvingI can make the same image to put Egyptians and Sumerians on the left while Greeks are on the right.This is the history board. At least educate yourself before posting, or go back to your containment board.>>>/pol/catalog
You should really call them Iranians, Persian is a Greek term.
>>18668157Greeks technically isn't even what the Greeks call themselves either. They call themselves Hellenes but the Romans call them Greeks and that's the name that stuck.
Utterly mogged by the mesopotamian civilizations before them.
>>18668209yeah but mesopotamians were brown and small
>>18668209yeah but the Persians looked cool in 300 so uh...
>>18668233rude
>>18668080Pretty badass. Not on the level of the Greeks/Macedonians and Romans but still impressive. Inventing early coolers, postal systems, windmills, and pioneering irrigation with the qanats is quite interesting, and both the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs borrowed from said systems. They weren't the enlightened proto-Western hyperborea the weird Zionist Pahlavist simps on Twitter (no I am not a pro-regime tankie) claim they are, but they are interesting.
>>18668209utterly mogged by the greeks as well
>>18668080They weren't as great as they seem at a distance.
>>18668120This. >>18668135You are turkish. Verification wasn't needed for this post.
>>18668408>>18668409You're brown (balkanoid). Probably Monkeydonian.
