Iran from above - In the mountains | DW Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2022
- Iran’s mountainous terrain has always been an important part of people’s lives. Years ago, these mountains were populated by legendary horsemen. Today, they are the subject of scientific investigation.
This film provides the viewer with stunning arial views of these mountains. It unfurls the rich tapestry of Iran’s history, from the legendary Order of the Assassins to the Mongol invasions.
We also get to know Iran by meeting some of the fascinating people who live there. Take Ali, a world champion of mounted archery. Despite its waning popularity, the sport has endured in Iran due the importance of horses throughout Iranian history. We get to explore the historic Tabiz bazaar, which is still a bustling market and kaleidoscope of cultures today. There, we meet Dschebrael, a stall owner who speaks Azeri, the official language of Azerbaijan. In fact, Azeri can be heard throughout the market, which serves as a meeting place for Iran’s many ethnic groups, and thus as a microcosm of the country’s cultural diversity.
The film introduces us to beekeepers and violinmakers, as well as young people living in Iran who want to travel and express themselves freely on social media -- even though it is forbidden.

Just watched this after my breakfast. Wonderful documentary. Thank you for making my day. Greetings from an 85 year old lady in New Zealand. Can only armchair travel now, and so grateful that beautiful documentaries like this are being created. Thank you.
Beautiful lady❤
Glad you enjoyed it sweetie ❤️ from Iran 🇮🇷
Yes I agree with you lady, I will be 80 in January but still very active.
We must treat Iran 🇮🇷 with respect and gentleness , greetings from Fiji 🇫🇯!
Thanks for your nice comment Ann - Marie.
Loved Your comment, I am originally from Iran but have been living in New Zealand for over 20 years now. I need to take my daughter there so she can learn about her fathers background. Sending greetings from Taranaki.

I am almost lost through the propagandas about Iran , though I knew that Iran is the cradle epicenter for modern civilization .
what a wonderful country, what a beautiful culture , what a nice people.
Human beings please know that, we are not enemies, we all are families bleed same, societies championed together !
much love n respect for my fellow Iranian brothers n sisters .

Iranians are among the nicest people I have met. You have to understand, politics are complicated. The people are not the rulers. Persians were always successful throughout the history. There would be no Islamic Golden Age without them. So, despite many obstacles, they will find ways to rise up. Who knows, someday their Safavid and Qajar flags will fly again.
The current government of Iran deserves all the criticism it gets. Iran also has a rich history and rich culture. The people of Iran deserve better than what they currently have.
The same can be said of many places in the world.
@@ems4884 Yes, I agree. The Iranian gov't is ideological and tone deaf.
Iranian culture and civilization are different things. Study Iranian history, culture and geography to reduce your *recency bias.*
Iran should not be defined by what's happened since the 1979 revolution.
@@jamieammar6131 Sure Safavid but not Qajar. If I can say something about Iran which could be easily understood (and consider countries as food) is that if you have to select 10 foods and put them on the table, you can't afford not to put Iran on the table!
@@marb433 I'm talking about the Sir o Khurshid emblem of the flag. Both Safavid and Qajar flags had it.
I love iran from Baku. We are the same people❤

Beautiful country, warm hospitable people, excellent food, world class history. What more can you ask for ?

🇺🇦b4 Abrahamic nonsense ☝🏾
Iran is different, persian is different, tell us, the Persians did not establish an Iranian empire outside of the Achaemenid empire in Persia. What are Sassanids and Parthians of Zaza origin, Safavids and Zends of Kurdish origin, Persians trying to do by using the name Aryan? They are not of Aryan origin, but of Elam origin.

Thank you to DW for this beautiful documentary about a country of beautiful civilization, people and breathtaking nature. As an Armenian, I am grateful to Iran and Iranian people for being a safe shelter to so many Armenians and giving them opportunity to preserve their identity when fleeing the genocide carried out by Ottoman Turkey in 1915 against Armenians.
The friendship between Iran/Persia and Armenia definitely stood the test of time and it’s not just decades but thousand years at least.
Much love from an Armenian 🇦🇲 and I hope to visit this beautiful country one day ❤️
We love Armenia
But many countries were unlucky, they were the part of genocide by Britishers
Viva Armenia
As a Persian I love Armenia and Armenians. I will visit your nice country and support if I could.
There is a strange and ancient love between Iranians and Armenians. I have not seen almost any Iranian who does not praise the Armenian people whenever they talk about them. I know that a large number of Armenians came to my country because of the Ottoman wars and World War II, and then they became part of us because of the great cultural respect and love. And no one considered them foreigners or Armenians anymore, but they were part of Iran and in the war between Iran and Saddam, a large number of Armenians were martyred to protect the soil of Iran. It is a strange love in history.
I had no idea Iran was such a beautiful country! Wow i loved every second of this video. Would love to visit sometime! Much love, from America🇺🇸🤝🇮🇷
Government of America is Our Enemy not People of America
We have an American National Hero "Howard Baskerville" He Was a Teacher but He Dead For Iran in First World war🥲 🇮🇷🇺🇸

Far from politics, just people and local cultures.
truly loved it.
Love Iran and pray to Allah to keep it as safe as it is now.
Never imagined Iran looked like this, absolutely beautiful and would love to visit.
I'm not an Iranian but i always love watching the documentaries of either ancient history and it's modern way of life of every country..and middle Eastern history is my favourite..Iran is one of my 10 favourite. Watching this, i feel that i am transported back to the Persian empire...i wish i could visit this beautiful country in my lifetime. ❤❤greetings and lots of love from🇵🇭🇵🇭
I really think this is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. I would love to visit some day.
Don't forget your hijab though
You certainly should. Just make sure to follow the local rules and you'd be fine. Plan ahead in details and you will have the most memorable trip of your life. One reminder: If you're into gambling, drugs, beaches/bikinis, and alcohol forget about the trip. This voyage would be about excellent food, history and culture. Won't be Las Vegas or Miami Beach!
@@aram4939 Headscarf is a must for every women in the country but this is not an Arabic-language nation. Hejab is an Arabic word. Headscarf is the word to use and if you're going in late fall, winter and early spring, the headscarf would be in your advantage. So bringing that up is not such a wise idea. Every country has its restrictions

Such a diverse and beautiful land but due to its true resistance against powerful nations in world.. mostly media around world don't show this side of Iran.. my ancestors are from Iran also... love from Gilgit Baltistan PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
Thank you for such an amazing documentary. Iran is a big country with several ethnicities, (Persians, Azeri, Kurdish, Armenian, Baluch, Arab, Turkman, and Lor). They all live under the same flag and one nationality, (Iranian). This documentary only covers a third of Iran. Although you have done an awesome job, I hope to see further documentaries about the rest of the country.
Thank you for your feedback:)
So true, this doc didn't even scratch the surface of Iran's beauty, but amazing doc all around.
I love Iran + Iranian hospitality + Iranian culture & Iranian people sooo much... lots of love + respect & bundle of best wishes for all beautiful Iranian people from Pakistan 🌹❤️🌹
There are Iranic peoples in Pakistan. There are Tajiks, Baloch, Pashtuns. Pakistan was a part of Khorasan, and when Pakistan became a country, Iran was one of the first countries to recognize Pakistan as a nation. Urdu is language with Farsi words in it. Pakistan zindebad!
Beautiful country presented in a manner it deserves.
We need to talk about how much developed Iran seems, the country is very very beautiful!!!
After my country India, I am in love with Iran's culture!
Striking beautiful documentary that tell us of a land so little known. Thanks DW.
I send greetings to the Iranians who pass this way, from Italy.
.thank Mr mario🤝❤️🙏
wish to visit Iran, the cradle of Civilization. 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Iran is very beautiful country, Iranian food is pure no adulteration no chemicals no pesticide residue. I am from India I love and respect Iran and Iranian people.
as afghan i love my Iranian brothers ❤️
I never knew Iran is this much diverse and beautiful. I am shocked seeing beautiful snow kept mountains ⛰.
DW only showed about 40% of Iran, and many other regions wasn't pictured in this video
The correct expression is *snow capped* mountains.
A cap is like a hat.🧢🎩🎓👒
This doc didn't even scratch the surface of Irans beauty.
I have watched the whole documentary. As an African from Kenya in Africa I am so amazed. I have always believed iran is a terrorist country as told by the propangastic media, same way the ill motivated media talk of Africa as a continent where poverty and diseases manifest. Am shocked with irans unmatched greater civilization . Excellent documentary.
Awesome country, awesome culture, awesome people
nothing awesome about an ancient religion and superstitions
This promotion of Iran must have been financed by the ayatollah's
yes that's why the USA wants to destroy
Stunning country. Loved the Armenian village with the church. Beautiful!
I love Iranian hand made carpets. Lot's of love and respect from North kashmir India.
What a beautiful country. Such a rich and interesting history. An excellent documentary.
Totally agree
Too bad it's run by women-hating Autocrats. But yea the scenery is spectacular for sure.
too much time spent on bee keeping and rock climbing, which aren't the essence of the state. Otherwise this is a stunning and beautiful documentary, which I recommend to all.
These are great it's the ignorance of humans that makes it better to arm chair travel at home than do their nasty weather and do they get beds and furniture over there? I don't do the floors and bending over to eat on floors either. Too much work for the women to be down on floor all the time. No thanks, poor ladies. I would never wish any female to have to be around Muslim men. Yuk. Nothing worse on earth at this time. Peace on earth Goodwill to all holy and kind.

Most normal people are tired of the focus being on religion and politics, especially, when it comes to Iran.
There's more to life. I'd prefer to watch a ten-hour long series on the flora and fauna of the Middle East and Central Asia.
Beautiful Iran! Love from 🇪🇹
Brilliant. A portrait of Iran that the warmongers in white west will not comprehend. Sad really. However, the peoples of the world will immediately feel affinity with the people of Iran. ThanQ DW for making this video available to the people. My family & I are very touched by the genuine humanity that is Iranian. Salaam.

After getting to know a few Iranians while studying an international Master's degree programme, I became increasingly interested in this hospitable, amazing country with rich history, traditions and architecture. That's truly such a shame that few people know about this amazing country and things you can explore there. Hope I can visit it one day. Sending you love and peace from Russia 🕊❤️🩹🙏🏻
You can "feel" the essence of beauty in everything in Iran. You can see it in Iran's people, in its landscape, in the culture, and even in the wonderful musical instruments.
Thank you DW for showing us this amazing place from a new, renewed perspective.
Just goes to show, people everywhere just want to live in peace, harmony and be in one with themselves and the world around them.
I didn't like that this documentary is short. What a beautiful country with culture and heritage. Greetings from Somalia 🇸🇴
Iran is such a beautiful country with snow capped mountains to sandy desserts. People are so warm and friendly; I will definitely visit it..
where minority not only survives but thrives (Armenians, Kurds etc) is a very tolerant country.
Excellent video; an opportunity to the world to experience Iran's biodiversity.
Much love for this country and the nice people.
An Amazingly beautiful country with the most civilized people along with the mix of culture and tradition with the gradient of topography at it's best, As I have personally came across some of the best people in my life belong to my neighbor brother, IRAN. As a passionate photographer, Entrepreneur and a lover of my Imam Reza (A.S); I've planned to drive to Iran from Pakistan next year's August InshAllah and would love to live here for a significant time to completely absorb their vibrant lifestyles and their love.

If any Iranian folks out here, man I'd love to visit your country. Seen lots of videos of the grand old bazaar in Tehran with the mountains overlooking the city. So much history dating back centuries. Nothing but love ❤🙏
Very glad that iran peaked your interest. Its definitely recommended to visit isfahan, tabriz mashhad and tehran however you can find beauty and culture all over iran specially smaller towns and villages. From a tourist perspective it makes sense to visit those cities and their landmarks and then if time allows explore the other parts. Happy travels.
This video didn't even scratch the surface of Iran's beauty.
One correction the language that people of Tabriz speak is not Turkish. It is Azerbaijani Turkic language which is not the same as Turkish. The translator made a mistake while translating it from our Azarbayjani language. Also at 30:15 local turkic dialect is correct. Our language has a lot in common with Persian and other languages that our other Iranian compatriots speak.
One other correction. Ancient Azeri people used to speak Old Azeri (now extinct) which is linked to other Iranian languages, particular the Talysh dialect, it had no Turkic roots. The only reason their language became Turkified was due to Oghuz Turkic Invasion/migration. The fact that he claims it's his native tongue is historically and culturally incorrect.
@@outlawfly664 There's no such thing as Turkified, nor anything called "old Azari". Azerbaijan is the name of a region and anyone who lives here regardless of ethnic background is an "Azeri". Today most Azeris are Azerbaijani Turks (Also known as Caucasian Turks). People of Azerbaijan before the Seljuk migrations spoke a variety of different languages from Caucasian languages such as Lezgin and Albanian to Talysh, Tat and Gilaki, but after Seljuk migrations this region's language became predominantly Azerbaijani Turkish. So like our ancestors (The Seljuks) we have an Iranian-Turkic-Caucasian/Caspian root and we are proud of it, but ethnically we are TURKS and there's no changing this reality.
@@outlawfly664 it was a migration no invasion, the Samanid and earlier sassanid persian kings invited those tribes to settle to increase manpower.

India and Iran have a lot of history. Iran had the Avesta, India had the Vedas. Parsis took asylum in India and flourished there, and are loved by Indians, and Parsis love their Indian nationality. Iranians, and Indians were one people and migrated then split off, one went to Indus valley, and one went to present day Iran. Persian was one of the official languages of India before the British came. Some Punjab people have "Iranian neolithic farmer" genetics.Punjab in Persian means "five rivers" Some of the Gurus like Guru Nanak wrote poetry in Persian. The Persian Ahmad Ustad helped with the Taj-Mahal. There are so many more connections.
My heart was full of love watching this scene and Iranian people
It’s ancient history, architecture and culture, soooo interesting
I’ll be spending there months when I come to travel 😊

Absolutely fascinating! I love the horseback archery segment. Such skill!. The country is so beautiful.
“A young muslim man from the village tends to the monastery” this phrase embodies Iran’s tolerance of differences of beliefs, but alas people think Iran is a bigoted country just because our government is the Islamic Republic. We might be a Islamic Republic, but we protect and take care of all religions within our borders.
Thanks DW!!! Such a beautiful and refreshing video that shows how the people of Iran actually live and get along (outside of the usual political negativity that so many news sources love to overemphasise/misdirect)
These videos must be government favorites therefore to your point this one only show a small percentage of people lives.

I wish I could come visit your country, it's nothing like I imagined but after watching this documentary my perspective is immensely different. I hope our two countries can be at peace soon.
Too bad Aryans weren't Muslims and didn't speak Arabic. All organized religions are false. Persians have more in common with Slavs, Celtic, Greek, Roman, and German people than they do with Arabs. Everyone knows Indo Europeans (Yamnaya people) migrated from north of the Black Sea (Pontic Steppe) between 4000-3000 BCE. The oldest swastikas in the world are found in Ukraine. And the first horse riders are the Yamnaya people.
Aryans and Indo Europeans are cool. I despise the Abrahamic religions. Vedic Aryans are great too. The Rigveda is amazing. Can't say the same for the Quran or the Bible. Plus, we all know Jesus was really a Zoroastrian. It's why the "Magi" (magic) (magicians) Three Wise Men came from northern Iran to search for the Son of God. So Jesus is cool but organized religions are horrible.
Plus, Scythians migrated all the way into western Europe in 800 BCE, so Europeans are both Yamnaya and Iranian Aryans. The Scythians integrated with the Celts. And Aryans call themselves Aryans after their mythical homeland of 'Arya', which is the Pontic Steppe. The oldest domesticated horses don't come from Iran like this documentary tries to proclaim. They come from the Pontic Steppe, which is modern day Ukraine and western Russia. This has already been determined by archeology and genetics.
We see it 😀 and it's beautiful!
Love Iran,From Ethiopia
Very beautiful pictures we don't see those views when Iran is covered in news 👍👍

You have alot of misconceptions when it comes to Iran, I saw you made another comment about Christians not being welcome..
In Iran we don't care what religion you have. Muslims( Shia and Sunni), Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians etc live all in peace with eachother..
You need to widen your perspective a bit.. Because you are the one who seems to be intolerant, but I'm not surprised concidering the content you consume here on yt..

Impressed . Before advent of islam, Iran under Darius and other rulers was a great civilization. Respect from india 🇮🇳
Hindus really can’t let a day pass without mentioning islam huh?🤨 let me tell you this babu; the education, higher education, achievements in the science field as well as medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, physics in iran after the “advent of islam” got higher and better whereas in india millions of people still nowadays don’t have access to simple education under the hindu system. This is telling 🤔😏🤷🏻♀️
Islam just made the persian civilization greater and richer 😌🇮🇷 thanks to the “advent of islam” to persia we got to see beautiful islamic persian architecture not only in iran but also in india 😏 as well as pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, kazakhstan, kashmir, turkey, armenia, even russia and arab countries.
