Unlike other conquerors, the Persians ruled through tolerance rather than terror. Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire, allowed his subjects to keep their customs, religions, and languages. As long as they paid tribute, they were free.

2,500 years ago, Persia ruled the world. At its heart stood Persepolis—a city so rich that the Greeks called it paradise on earth. Then, in a single night, it was burned to the ground. Here's how Persia built the greatest empire in history and how it was erased:

In 515 BC, Darius the Great ordered the construction of a new ceremonial capital, Persepolis. Built on a grand terrace carved into a mountainside, the city was unlike anything the world had seen. Every detail was designed to project Persian power.

- A 15-meter-high artificial platform overlooking the land - Enormous palaces with 20-meter-tall cedar columns - Gold-adorned gates guarded by colossal winged bulls - Walls covered in dazzling textiles and jewel-studded thrones

Greek historians, despite their hatred for Persia, grudgingly admitted that Persepolis was unparalleled in luxury and splendor. The Persians called it "The Richest City Under the Sun." But Persepolis wasn’t just about wealth, it was a statement.

The Persian Royal Road, a 1,500-mile highway connecting Persepolis to the Mediterranean, facilitated the free flow of trade, culture, and knowledge across the empire. Greek historians marveled at the Persian couriers, who could deliver messages faster than any mortal traveler.

The result? 1. The first multi-ethnic empire in history 2. A flourishing economy powered by trade 3. A sophisticated bureaucracy that managed vast lands with efficiency Persepolis embodied this vision: not just a city but the heart of an empire built on unity, not oppression.

But its greatness wouldn’t last. In 334 BC, Alexander the Great launched his campaign against the Persian Empire. Though vastly outnumbered, his Macedonian army crushed the Persian forces in a series of decisive battles. By 331 BC, the last Persian king, Darius III, was dead.

The empire collapsed. Then Alexander reached Persepolis, the ceremonial heart of the Persian world. What happened next remains one of history’s greatest acts of destruction.

According to Greek sources, a drunken Alexander, urged on by a Greek courtesan, ordered Persepolis to be burned to the ground as revenge for Persia’s past wars with Greece. The city, its palaces, its treasures, its libraries went up in flames.

- Cedar roofs turned into an inferno - Priceless art and history were reduced to ashes - 200 years of Persian grandeur disappeared overnight Persepolis never recovered.

For 2,000 years, the world ignored Persepolis. History, written by the Greeks and Romans, painted the Persians as cruel, decadent barbarians. Their achievements were overshadowed by the legacy of Alexander.

There was NO Palestine (then or now) Judea was where Jerusalem was during the Persian Empire.

Iran Was Almost Never Ruled by Persians. What’s ironic is that Persians claim those non-Persian conquerors, such as the Qajars, Safavids, Medians, Elamites, Buyids, Parthians, Sassanids, Ghaznavids, Muzaffarids, the Zand dynasty, and the Pahlavi dynasty; even Cyrus had an Elamite father and a Median mother, which makes the world’s most famous Persian a non-Persian.

The Difference Between The US Empire And The British Empire "The US empire is a larger, stronger, sneakier, bitchier, less honest, more manipulative version of what the British Empire was. The British Empire told its subjects that they were the property of the King and must do as His Majesty commands. The US empire subjugates people by tricking them into thinking they are free." Reading by Tim Foley.

There’s a fundamental difference between the two: Rajputs pushed the Mughal Empire into disarray. Marathas entered the scene later, not as liberators, but as tax collectors on behalf of Mughals. In fact, Mahadji Scindia officially served as the Wakil of Mughal Emperor. Listen to this video of a Jat officer speaking about the Maratha regime’s tax oppression. The core issue lies in intent: Marathas never aspired to rule. They were content with looting and pillaging, often the subjects were put through multiple competing Maratha chiefs, each seeking their own gain rather than building a just and accountable system.

They will go down in history, for the rest of eternity, as those who deliberately ruled for the overthrow of the Constitutional Republic of the United States. They should not be referred to as justices, but rather as traitors

this is why polin will always be true unconditional love. they were at the most conflicting moment of their relationship but they always knew they’d get over it as long as they were together. they looked at each other at the altar and knew they’d choose each other over anything.

Other soldiers were captured alive as well during the Foutouri attack, they were allowed to contact their relatives, regular soldiers that are captured alive are usually better treated than VDPs, some soldiers do get executed, and some were recently, but not as much as VDPs.

This is one of the most bizarre pro-Shah AI videos I have seen. Whoever made this depicts Ayatollah Khamenei as a representative of the Persian Achemenidian King Xerxes, and the son of the former Shah as the Spartan King Leonidas. All the while, the monarchists claim the Pahlavis as heirs of the Great Persian Empire led by Xerxes and his father Darius, and Leonidas as the enemy of the Persians. Literally, they are depicting Pahlavi as the enemy of Iran. One could dismiss this as simple ignorance, or perhaps the work of one of the deeply confused Israeli intelligence units giving Pahlavi so much online support. But it could also be much worse than that. The makerrs of this video could have chosen so many themes from Iranian mythology, including the story of Thraētaona and Aži Dahāka. But instead they chose the theme of the movie 300 - as if all they know about Iran comes from Hollywood and Marvel-style movies. It could be that this is a reflection of what Reza Zia-Ebrahimi رضا ضیاء ابراهیمی calls Dislocative Nationalism, the idea that Iran is actually White and European and has only ended up in the Middle East by misfortune. As such, these monarchists genuinely identify more with Leonidas than with Xerxes...(!) Or perhaps their audience is Western and, as a result, they chose familiar Western themes. Which would reflect that Pahlavi is not seeking to gain power through an Iranian revolution, but rather by having Trump install him as king from the outside... Either way, this is shockingly dumb.

They were prepared to keep the fraud going as long as they could—his family, fellow Democrats, and the media. Americans don’t need another insider telling them what they knew 3½ years ago—especially one who sold the Biden lie day after day.

Professor Jiang – Secret History, Episode 19: “Dawn of the Jews” In this clip, Professor Jiang lays out a historical argument about the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem (c. 587 BCE) and the Persian period that followed. He argues that after Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and dispersed the Israelites, their political identity collapsed. When Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon in 539 BCE and issued what’s known as the Edict of Cyrus, he allowed a group to return to Jerusalem. Jiang argues the decision was imperial strategy, not theology: a classic divide-and-rule policy. According to this view, the Persian Empire reorganized the region into provinces, including Yehud (“Beyond the River”), and promoted a new administrative identity tied to that province. Jiang argues that this is where the term “Jews” emerges, not as an ethnic invention, but as a political-administrative category within the Persian system. He emphasizes that many surrounding populations were also descendants of Israelites who had remained in the Levant, adapted locally, intermarried, and practiced different religions.

Jhansi : Muslims attacked Hindus for using gulal during Ganpati Visarjan. More than six Hindu devotees were injured. They were upset with Hindus passing through their area and celebrating the festival. This is the kind of religious tolerance and 'bhaichara' they uphold.

The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people that in the late 5th-century had established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia, Southern Ukraine, Crimea, Jordan and Kazakhstan. They were nicknamed the “name stealers” by neighbouring countries that grew tired of their criminal behaviour of taking on the identities of those they murdered, as well as for their perpetuity for kidnappings, thievery, and road banditry, and are often know as “The Khazarian Mafia” today. Khazaria was formed as a Kingdom ruled by an evil King named, Bulan, whose court included people trained in the occult Mysteries and Black Magic sciences of Babylon, Greece, and Rome. In 740 A.D. Kievan Rus' (Russia) and other neighbouring countries such as Persia (Iran) gave the Khazarian King Bulan an ultimatum that they must adopt one of the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity or Islam. They adopted Judaism, but continued to practice occult black magic rituals, including child sacrifice, blood-drinking, cannibalism, and Paedophila in order to worship and gain favours from Baal and Moloch, among other dark deities.
