      First of all , The city of Isfahan founded in the Sasanid empire (Neo Persian ) not saljuks . The gokturks tribes that existed in north east of central asia , had wars with Sasanid in that era and finally defeated. The Sasanids bring the left tribes of turks that surrounded to iran and they became iranian turks . The works of garden that you mentioned reached to it's peak in Andalusia has the Persian roots. Besides the Andalusia has Conquered by the Persian Muslim commander Tareq . Taj Mahal for example that you said made by Persian architects based on Persian style. Persians made porch and arch in architecture for instance that are using in many Islamic buildings.

      The people aren’t the problem. It’s the evil in the government, & that’s true for most countries. I saw a Rick Steves in Iran travel special years ago, & it was wild to see how genuinely kind, loving, & welcoming the people were to him, especially because we only see them chanting, “Death to America” all the time. I’m sure they were told to make a good impression, etc., but the level of hospitality they showed him can’t be faked by everybody; in my opinion, it was genuine.
      I’ve always wanted to go to Russia back when it was the USSR to see Saint Basil’s Church in Moscow from
      the first time I saw it on tv. Even if I had a personal invite from Putin & billions $$$$$$$ to pay a bribe, I would never go there now.

    Veronika Hofer, you did marvelous job to create this video with all the relevant and accurate information in a cohesive progression. You visited most of the important gardens of Iran. Camera work was great and of course the grand finale song by Parya. Loved it and I hope EP1 is a promise that there will be EP2+ I also would like to add that the word Paradise which you mentioned has a Persian orgian is composed of two words Pairi and Daeza. Comes from Pahlavi language and It means Round Wall or surrrounded with wall. Pairi is root of today's Persian word Peeramoon or surrounding, around. Daeza is the root of the word Dezh in today's persian meaning a castle a fort. So, the wall that surrounds this fort or a man's castle or his garden stood to represent what one wishes heaven would look like. Then it becamse Pardis in old persian, Paradiso in Greek and Paradise in English. The phrase "Islamic Gardens" is as stereotypical creation of British orientlaists as the phrase Middle Eastern Countries is. Middle Eastern from whose point of view? The British. The gardens started in Persia. Arabs did not have gardens. They were civilized by the Persians during the two hundred years of occupation of Persia. Gradually Arab's conquest spread to north Africa and then entered Europe. With the knowledge they absorbed from Persian about water channels and garden designs, they built magnificent gardens such as the Alhambra of Spain. These gardens, none of them are Isalmic even though there is might be a mosque next to it. They are all Persian Garden designs built by people whose religion was Islam. Exactly like we do not call any of the gardens in France or Italy as Christian garden. Monet's Christian Garden, etc. History was written by those who carried the sword.

      With all due respect! May I ask why was it necessary to emphasize to write a lengthy paragraph explaining about the history and blaming the other party. Although it was clearly mentioned in the video about the history where the concept of paradise or garden comes from! So kindly ask your self!! Was the history written by people carrying the sword?? Or for your sadistic pleasure you like to mix or stirr religion with culture. Mind you both are totally different. So now who is to blame?!

      Tit for tat! No thank you. You only want to engage into a silly argument just for nothing. Instead of correcting yourself you just want a head-on collision. And yes spellings does matter. And again thank you I am not interested in your silly argument. Again read what I wrote because in your case it was mainly a pleasure article rather than an informative one. So yeah try to separate the two word "Religion" and "Culture" in life as these are two separate. I can get more direct but you should be sensible enough to understand. Otherwise your word play is very poor.

      But this is only in the central Iran that is a desert climate. If you go to the mountains in the west and northwest of the country it’s all snowy and even colder than Canada! If you go North by Caspian Sea, it is very green. Lots of rain and humidity that makes it greener than Europe. So, unlike what is often assumed, Iran is very diverse in terms of its climate.

      I've a mixed feelings about what you said. Tourism and its economical benefits I agree with but as long as it doesn't harm our national security and also our natural resources. You can see in this video it does also include a political message. On the second point, Eco tourism for example, is a tricky business. It can apply some damage to the nature.

I agree with you that was some cool stuff.
