NOTE: THIS VIDEO WILL NEVER BE MONETIZED. I HAVE PUT IT UP AS A FUNDRAISER VIDEO BUT I AM HAPPY WITH PEOPLE JUST VIEWING AND LEARNING ABOUT IRANIAN HISTORY.
Thanks for watching and hit Like if you enjoyed the video!
Thank you very much indeed ,
I don’t think peeps would mind actually since production values are top notch. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for this
I wish there was any way to help you with what you do
@@soroushtorabi98 Just watch and like if you enjoy it :) that's enough for me. Cheers!
@ I just don't want to monetize the struggle of those brave Iranians. Better anything this video can earn goes to help people who need it but thanks!
The word for "spouse" in farsi is "ham sar" which literally translates to "equal head". I think this is one of the testimonies to our cultural heritage in which equality was the norm. This makes it even more painful to have the current state of absolute terror.
Why do we learn so much about the Greeks and Romans at school but almost nothing about the Persians? Very intriguing indeed.
Even when it comes to education or entertainment regarding enemies of Rome it's almost always about Germanuc and Celtic tribes plus the Huns, the greatest enemies of Roman's, Sassanid Persian empire and the Parthian empire are barely ever covered.
@Lill Frigg First of all, this isn't our history, it's Roman and European history. Persia and Parthia were the number one Roman enemies and Romans kept massive armies at their eastern borders all the time. Not covering them when making content about Roman history is like making movie about American history during the second world war and not mention Hitler and the Japanese once in any of them.
Also, it makes sense story-wise since unlike with pathetic tribes they can make movies with epic battle scenes.
So overall, it's within Hollywood's interest to make these film and my complaints completely logical.
Second of all, Hollywood talks of this diversity and stuff so I think it's fitting if other complain when they themselves are asking for it.
Third of all, unfortunately that's not gonna happen nowو my country is ruled by an Islamo-fascist regime that hates our pre-Islamic history and is out of touch with the majority of the people. They sometimes use our mythology and pre-Islamic history for propaganda but making movies and series is too much for them, so unfortunately that's not gonna happen unless tens of thousands die here for this regime to go, so naturally, we look to others and I think the way I put it in the first paragraph is logical.
Bcoz u live in a western country so history is taught from a euro-centric point of view.. I bet u never learn about Chinese history either in school right? So with this same centric logic guess what, People in Asia learn about China in their history as it’s from an Asia-centric point of view. That’s just how it is.
@@hanzocloud That may be right but since so much happened between the Greeks and Persians and later Romans and Persians throughout history, that alone should have made Persian history as important to the West, but people learn more about Indian history in the West than Persian history in general. That is the curious part.
@Lill Frigg whos talking about Hollywierd??? To cover the history right has nothing to do with Hollywood or Bollywood.....And for uor infomation hollywood is just the MOVIE...is nothing educational..just for info... that we are in same page ok? and movie about vikings and Arn is not a history just made up..again just for information...If u want to know about history..read a book...I think u will find it in tour tiny tripe in north 😋
As an Iranian, it's really wonderful for me to see how beautifully you're enlightening the truth of Iranian women's freedom through out the history, that means alot 👏🌷
As an Iranian I know The Key word in this video was : pre Islamic Woman
The Abrahamic religions brought darkness to our Indo-European traditions. When you look at the women in Celtic, Germanic, Baltic, Iranian... societies and you compare that with the time when all these lands became christian or muslim, you can cry. We must bring back our true traditions and culture.
100%
The fall of sasanid dynasty was a bigest trajedy for persia.
Thanks so much for this video man, it means a lot to us
If you are reading this check out Farya's music. It is MUST listening....he covers a wide variety of music in a sort of "echoes of the past" for various cultures!
Imagine women of ancient times of Iran (over 2500 years ago) being treated better than the Iranian women in modern day Iran
That's really painful for me
And i'm a man
Imagine how women feel about this fact right now

Perfect timing considering the recent events in Iran.
Yuck. As if Iran was short of disingenuous politicized material where creators piggyback on our history to score cheap political points.
💯
Excellent choice of a topic. I don’t think anyone has ever covered Pre-Islam Iranian women. I am also curious to know your opinion on Amazon women worriers as most credible sources categorize Scythians as another Iranian peoples.
Scythians are Iranian people from all my sources as well. Their language definitely we just dont have a lot of DNA evidence unfortunately but linguistically and culturally they absolutely were.
@@YoreHistory Alans = Eran, the Aryans. Of course Scythians were Iranians. A great civilization to discover.

It is a great sadness to see the descendants of Cyrus and Darius in this situation. They deserve someone much better than that supreme tyrant Ali Khamanei. He is as bad as the eunuch Bagoas.

Great documents about woman of Iran History are real important in order to have knowledge and understand tradition and colture of one the most important way to respect people from the ancient world.
I'm a avid lover of World History and hadn't had much to learn about Persian History, except for Cyrus The Great, Darius The Great, Xerxes( Ahasuerus) in the Book of Esther in the bible, Artaxerxes, Alexander's conquest of Persia and more, but thanks to these additional uploads of information.
Thanks for watching!
Great topic
No. It actually isn't considering the creator openly prefaces the video with it being completely political. This type of piggybacking is disgusting, disingenuous and completely intended for self-promotion. It's exploitative and you as an Iranian shouldn't fall for it.
@@rashnuofthegoldenscales4512 I think if you look at the topics I have covered here I love Iranian history and its troubled me deeply what is happening there. The intro was a dedication nothing more. You are entitled to your opinion though but being exploitative is not something I went after. I want to educate those who are ignorant about Iran and that is all I have ever sought to do with my Iranian historical videos.
@@YoreHistory Where were you these last 5 years when American sanctions crushed the lives of our women and children? 🤡🤡🤡 No, you chose to participate in a propaganda campaign where you feign sympathy for Iranian women now that it is fashionable to do so according to the US State Department. I have lost my respect for you.
@@rashnuofthegoldenscales4512 You are entitled to your opinion but not to pretending to know me or my motives. I have enjoyed Iranian history since I was young with my Iranian friend trading mythos and history of our cultures. I have sympathized with the plight of the people there for a lot longer than that. Also I am not American. My channel is about presenting Iranian history to the world in addition to 2nd person historical fiction and other regions of the world. You have the right to your opinion here on my channel as long as it isn't hateful. However, let's be clear. You have never met me, don't know me and shouldn't make up motives/desires for me based on any hates/desires/beliefs you have.
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j Not sure what you mean? This video on the women of ancient Iran?
POWER TO ALL IRANIAN WOMEN ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Here are some other Iranian women who are definitely worth mentioning
Rhodogune/Rosegune of Parthia
was a queen of the Seleucid Empire by marriage to Demetrius II Nicator
She was the daughter of the Parthian king of kings, Mithridates I the great and the Parthian queen, Rinnu, and sister of Phraates II
Polyaenus wrote that Rhodogune, informed of a revolt while preparing for a bath, vowed not to bathe or brush her hair until the revolt was quashed
She immediately went into battle, riding out to the head of her army
She defeated the rebels, and was depicted thereafter on seals of the kings of Persia with long, disheveled hair because of her adherence to her vow
This incident is also mentioned in the anonymously written Tractatus de mulieribus, which elaborates further on the story, describing her as being depicted with a golden statue showing her hair half-braided, half unbraided
Artadokht
Artadokht was an economist during the reign of Ardavan IV (Artabanus IV, incorrectly known in older scholarship as Artabanus V) who was directly involved in the affairs of taxation, expenditure and revenue of the country
Artadokht enriched the country without putting pressure on the people and increasing taxes
Boran/Borandokht
She was the Sasanian queen of Iran from 630 to 632, with an interruption of some months
Boran inherited a declining empire that was engulfed in a civil war between two major factions, the Persian (Parsig) and Parthian (Pahlav) noble families
She was committed to reviving the memory and prestige of her father, during whose reign the Sasanian Empire had grown to it's largest territorial extent
Rabia Balkhi
Also known as Rabia al-Quzdari (or Khuzdari) was a 10th century writer who composed poetry in Persian and Arabic
She is the first known female poet to write in Persian (in islamic era)
Rabia appears in the Lubab ul-Albab, a compilation of Persian poets made by the 12th and 13th-century writer Awfi
The compilation says the following about her: "The daughter of Ka'b, although she was a woman, was superior to men in accomplishments
She possessed great intelligence and sharp temperament
She used to continuously play the game of love and admired beautiful youths
Rabia is amongst the thirty five female Sufis mentioned in the 15th century Persian work Nafahat al Uns, a biographical compilation made by Jami
Jahan Malek Khatun
She was an Iranian poet and princess at the Injuid court, which had its capital in Shiraz
She was a contemporary of Hafez, and is the only known premodern Persian poet to locate her writing within a tradition of female poets in a prose preface to her collected poems
The introduction to her divan, written by Jahan herself, suggests that she wrote poetry as a means to leave something behind after her death, and to deal with her tumultuous life at court
Rhodogune was not a Seleucid queen, she was a Parthian princess. Her husband was an ex-Seleucid royal prisoner under Parthian custody making infamous for having attempted to escape unsuccessfully twice. Demetrius of the golden dice. The rump state of the Seleucids was located in Syria at the time.
@@rashnuofthegoldenscales4512 I said she was a Parthian princess and since she married the Seleucid king who was defeated and captured in battle, she is considered the Queen of what was left of the Seleucid empire
@@ramtin5152 Demetrius was immediately replaced on the throne of Antioch upon the news of his capture. It was also not an "empire" at this time - It was a rump state limited to Syria after having lost Mesopotamia and their former capital at Seleucia. The big guy on the block was the Parthian empire, which not only deserved its name but succeeded the Seleucids in every function. Rhodogune may have had de jure rights to the remnants of the Seleucid kingdom, but presenting her as a Seleucid queen is wrong. She was the daughter of a conquering Parthian hero who had vanquished the Seleucids, the Greeks of Bactria and gone from the Oxus to the Euphrates to liberate ancient Iran from the Macedonian yoke. Context matters.
@@rashnuofthegoldenscales4512 The word "Queen of the Seleucid empire" was there when i searched her name
And i did wrote who her family members were and from what family she was
But tbh, having an Iranian queen on Greek people throne must have been humiliating for Greeks since they considered themselves higher than everyone else and every non Greek was considered a barbarian XD
I bet that's why they abandoned the captured Seleucid king LOL
Can't really say the Parthians succeeded them
They kicked Greeks asses
I know you might gonna bring "the Greek words on their coins" up and like some people say things like they were HEAVILY Hellenised just because few of their kings coins had the word "friend of Greeks" on them (which was totally due to political reasons) but go see for yourself
The Parthian was the official, court and literature and Aramaic was lingua franca
Their main religions ? Zoroastrianism and Mithraism (the pre-Zoroastrian religion of Iranians)
The Achaemeinid titles were also used for their kings
First changes were made by Mithridates I the great
According to the 10th-century Middle Persian Zoroastrian document Denkard ("Acts of Religion"), Vologases I of Parthia ordered his subjects to safeguard variants of the Avestan books and schooling, which had been scattered due to raids and plundering by the Macedonian king Alexander
Yeah that's definitely what HEAVILY Hellenised people will do
@@ramtin5152 The Parthians are restorers of Iran and Iraniyyat against degenerate Hellenism and the protectors of the East against the rising Roman menace. Any "philhellenism" exhibited by the Arsacids was a political maneuvering to protect its interests in Asia against Roman usurpation.
Interesting that the Rashidun Caliphate's full scale invasion is never told from the story of how weakened Persia had become. I would argue that just like modern America celebrating a handful of female pilots and ground operators as proof of the heights we have achieved, they too would not be in a position to see invasion if the traditions that made them ascending and great were maintained. This is the way of Persia, Greece, Rome, and now America and the modern "west". Your videos are none the less always elucidating, entertaining, amazing quality, and some of the most tasteful historical presentations on YT. Keep building your brand and putting out the best stuff!!
I will be covering that in my Sassanian series. Next episode deals with Shapur II so we will begin to see more of the Arabian Kingdoms and eventual caliphates :)

Excellent artwork, where is it from?
I used Midjourney AI to create most of it...Photoshop the rest.
Ariobarzan and her sister the genral was at the gate fighting side by side against alexander the great here is the complete History: I know it is a lot but i tried my best to get as much info as possible just in case if you ever get bored and wanted to know more
IT WAS IN THE winter around 330 BCE, in the bone chilling cold of an Iranian freezing ice covered land of persia a regiment of the Persian army led by the Persian General Ario-Barzan held up Alexander’s vast Macedonian army for 30 days before finally yielding to the sheer number of enemy forces. The battle has remained for Iranians as the epitome of strength through patriotism, discipline, integrity, dignity and the final sacrifice.
Decent video but I personally much prefer your “life as”series videos over the others you put out.. I find the creativity in your stories amazing.. how long until you put out a new one of those??
3 or 4 days Max. Working on it as I type this.
❤️ the dedication to your craft mate.. looking forward to it dropping..
@@jamiebaker8017 Any specific eras you would like to see covered?
@@YoreHistory tbh I’m hanging for you to finish that Viking story you were working on.. it was just starting to build up nicely..
I know your plan is to start over on that series but I don’t think you should..
I have many ideas for you but it all depends on what direction you wanna take your channel as to wether they would be viable for you or not.. If there is a way to do it on UA-cam you’re more than welcome to shoot me a private message.
@@jamiebaker8017 It was building up nice and I really should finish it I had some nice plans for it. Maybe I can do it more story format with pictures instead of getting too elaborate with the miliary pieces etc. Hmm now you got me thinking :)
It might be slow to start, but I've seen another youtube creator who was making 100k videos every week have their reputation ruined, they closed their channel, then came back making videos where you couldn't see their face at first that were getting like 1k-2k views. They stuck with it and after a year they are doing better than ever.
Ya it will definitely be slow but ive always done it for fun so all good.
Hi there, it's me again and i have a suggestion (Sorry it's gonna be a long hell of a comment but it'll make many things clear)
I was thinking, what if you make a video about every story that it's told and written about the death of Cyrus the great and then make another video about the flaws of each or at least some stories and about how close or far from reality or accuracy each story is
You know, a topic with two parts and then you can make them a Mega episode
As far as i can remember, you didn't talk about Cyrus death in your first Achaemeinid video either
There are like ten stories about his death
It can be an interesting topic
I myself believe Ctesias version is closer to reality
Herodotus mentioned that he heard other stories too, but wrote the one that he liked the most because he thought it was more epic
You know since the ending was similar to the ending of one of those mythical Greek stories (greed and arrogance leading great humans to their demise) and since Herodotus was a Greek, this story is very debatable and has many things wrong with it if you think about it
Other Greek or Roman historians never even mentioned Tomyris or her tribe and each one wrote a different story
The most logical story about his death that i've heard up until now, is the one that Ctesias has written
Ctesias had his mistakes while writing about Cyrus life but his record of Cyrus death seems way more logical and the fact that he worked at the Achaemeinid royal court kinda increases the accuracy since he could've had access to their history sources
He's also written the numbers of casualties on both sides (9,000-10,000 for the Achaemeinids and 30,000 with their king and his two sons among the dead for the Derebices, though probably exaggerated numbers), the name of the king of the rebel Derbices(Amoraios), the number of Cyrus Scythian reinforcements (20,000) and name of the Scythian king who led them (Amorges)
Plus some information about how the battle went
According to him, Cyrus fought the Derbices/Derbikes (Iranian tribal people in Hyrcania) and won the battle but died three days later because he was wounded in the middle of that battle
The Derbices had allies from India and war elephants and the Elephants almost surrounded a part of the Persian cavalry and made Cyrus fall off his horse and was wounded by an Indian with a javelin
But was rescued by his guards (probably the Immortals) and taken back to his camp
The next day, a Scythian king with 20,000 of his men came to his aid and won the battle and declared Cambyses as his successor
Three days is enough time for his men to reach Pasargadae without his corpse rotting since Derbices territories were in the north of modern day Iran and that Cyrus didn't immediately die and it was way closer than Central Asia
Unlike Massagetaes (eastern Iranic nomadic people), who lived in seperate tribes (like Greek city states), they lived in a unified satrapy and had more manpower than a Scythian tribe and even had allies with war elephants from India
Meaning, they had the terrain advantage and enough manpower to fight an army of 80,000-100,000 men, specially when living in modern day north of Iran (where i live)
These lands are perfect for Guerilla warfares
According to Herodotus, the only advantage the Massagetaes had was a river which they let Cyrus army cross it without even harrassing it
What kind of commander would do that specially when being in a huge disadvantage ?
They were in open plains, with no city walls, no fortresses, no trenches, no natural barriers, not even enough manpower and they let the enemy pass their only line of defence
How many people lived in ONE nomadic Scythian tribe in 530 BC ? 3,000 ? 4,000 ?
Let's say 5,000-10,000
How many of them could fight ?
While the Achaemenids are known for their large armies which are estimated between 50,000 to 200,000
They were professional fighters armed with almost any weapon imaginable at the time and were familiar with nomadic fighting styles and battle tactics (they themselves were nomads once) and were being led by the greatest warlord at the time who won every battle he fought against mighty empires or even other Scythian tribes according to other Greco Roman historians
The largest Scythian army ever reported with exact numbers, was the one that fought Alexander at the battle of Jaxartes which had no more than 15,000
The terrain here in the north is great for a local army to defend against a superior invading force
And if we take a look at Cyrus conquest map, he'd conquered territories up to Aral sea/lake in central Asia
Massagetae territory is shown next to Dahae (also Iranic people) territories under Aral sea/lake in most of the maps and according to Cyrus map, he conquered that province and there was even a city fortress called Cyropolis near there
While there's no evidence of Tomyris existence beside Herodotus few sentences
If she had indeed killed him in battle and completely destroyed his army, then why there's no report of her raiding and plundering or even conquering the reach defenseless Achaemeinid territories or Cyrus son, Cambyses, a vengeful cruel man (at least according to what Herodotus described him) campaign against them ?
Darius the great mentioned the names of the people who REVOLTED against him, right after he became king, in his inscription, and the Scythians of Central Asia (beyond the jaxartes) were among the rebels (the man in the end of the line)
And since the word revolt has been used, we can assume they were already conquered by Cyrus
As far as i know, even Alexander's historians didn't say anything about his skeleton's head missing
Ali Sami Shirazi also identified the two corpses/skeletons in his tomb as Cyrus and Cassandane's
If what Herodotus says it's true, and Massagetaes took Cyrus body and cut his head off, then what are those remains even doing in his tomb ?
Fantastic feedback and suggestion. Thank you :)

Great video! I think the date at 7:00 is wrong though. If she was around in 4CE, she would be dead looong before the rise of the Sananids.
Must have missed that during editing :) Thx.
someone asks why we don't learn the Persian history instead of just learning roman and Greek history snd I answered: They instead of teaching you our great and real history they make hateful movie about our history and make many lies about us like those Greeks they are was our Enemy for over 700 years they coursed killed our people and lot of more but people still read and teach our history from they...
Listen Cyrus the great is who wrote The basis of human rights for the first time in the world and all of his life lived and worked for justice of all the people in the Earth you can go and read his Writes in the charter of Parsomarsh
They called him cruel and some teenager who knows nothing came and make sh*it about him and other kings
Always remember The great is the one who rules the people with good and justice, not the one who sheds the blood of his own people
That is why I have made it a point to share my passion for Iranian history. Not enough have in my opinion and the bias is tilted strongly towards Greek/Roman as you point out.

@@YoreHistory me too friend I can't wait either for it
"The dreamlike spell of this contemplative, metaphysically orientated tradition, where light and darkness dance together in a world - creating cosmic shadow play, carries into modern times and image that is of incalculable age. In its primitive form it is widely known among the jungle villages of the broad equatorial zone that extends from Africa eastward, through India, southeast Asia, and Oceania, to Brazil, where the basic myth is of a dreamlike age of the beginning, where there was neither death nor birth, which, however, terminated when a murder was committed. The body of the victim was cut up and buried. And not only did the food plants on which the community lives arise from those buried parts, but on all who ate of their fruit the organs of reproduction appeared; so that death, which had come into the world through a killing, was countered by its opposite, generation, and the self-consuming thing that is life, which lives on life, began its interminable course....
For the West, however, the possibility of such an egoless return to a state of soul antecedent to the birth of individuality has long since passed away; and the first important stage in the branching off can be seen to have occurred in that very part of the nuclear Near East where the earliest god - kings and their courts had been for centuries ritually entombed: namely Sumer, where a new sense of the separation of the spheres of god and man began to be represented in myth and ritual about 2350 BC. The king, then, was no longer a god, but a servant of the god, his Tenant Farmer, supervisor of the race of human slaves created to serve the gods was unremitting toil. And no longer identity, but relationship, was the paramount concern. Man had been made not to be God but to know, honor, and serve him; so that even the king, who, according to the earlier mythological view, had been the chief embodiment of divinity on Earth, was now but a priest offering sacrifice in tendance to One above - not a god returning to himself in sacrifice to Himself.
The earliest prophet of this mythology of cosmic restoration was, apparently, the Persian Zoroaster, whose dates, however, have not been securely established. They have been variously placed between c. 1200 and c. 550 BC, so that, like Homer(of about the same span of years), he should perhaps be regarded rather as symbolic of a tradition than a specifically, or solely, one man. The system associated with his name is based on the idea of a conflict between the wise lord, Ahura-Mazda," first father of the Righteous Order, who gave to the sun and stars their path," and an independent evil principal, Angra Mainyu, the Deceiver, principle of the lie, who, when all had been excellently made, entered into it in every particle."

and the brits had boudica, alone. this is a truly impressive history, if half the population are sidelined society cannot function well
Here are some other Iranian women who are also definitely worth mentioning
Rhodogune/Rosegune of Parthia
was a queen of the Seleucid Empire by marriage to Demetrius II Nicator
She was the daughter of the Parthian king of kings, Mithridates I the great and the Parthian queen, Rinnu, and sister of Phraates II
Polyaenus wrote that Rhodogune, informed of a revolt while preparing for a bath, vowed not to bathe or brush her hair until the revolt was quashed
She immediately went into battle, riding out to the head of her army
She defeated the rebels, and was depicted thereafter on seals of the kings of Persia with long, disheveled hair because of her adherence to her vow
This incident is also mentioned in the anonymously written Tractatus de mulieribus, which elaborates further on the story, describing her as being depicted with a golden statue showing her hair half-braided, half unbraided
Artadokht
Artadokht was an economist during the reign of Ardavan IV (Artabanus IV, incorrectly known in older scholarship as Artabanus V) who was directly involved in the affairs of taxation, expenditure and revenue of the country
Artadokht enriched the country without putting pressure on the people and increasing taxes
Boran/Borandokht
She was the Sasanian queen of Iran from 630 to 632, with an interruption of some months
Boran inherited a declining empire that was engulfed in a civil war between two major factions, the Persian (Parsig) and Parthian (Pahlav) noble families
She was committed to reviving the memory and prestige of her father, during whose reign the Sasanian Empire had grown to it's largest territorial extent
Rabia Balkhi
Also known as Rabia al-Quzdari (or Khuzdari) was a 10th century writer who composed poetry in Persian and Arabic
She is the first known female poet to write in Persian (in islamic era)
Rabia appears in the Lubab ul-Albab, a compilation of Persian poets made by the 12th and 13th-century writer Awfi
The compilation says the following about her: "The daughter of Ka'b, although she was a woman, was superior to men in accomplishments
She possessed great intelligence and sharp temperament
She used to continuously play the game of love and admired beautiful youths
Rabia is amongst the thirty five female Sufis mentioned in the 15th century Persian work Nafahat al Uns, a biographical compilation made by Jami
Jahan Malek Khatun
She was an Iranian poet and princess at the Injuid court, which had its capital in Shiraz
She was a contemporary of Hafez, and is the only known premodern Persian poet to locate her writing within a tradition of female poets in a prose preface to her collected poems
The introduction to her divan, written by Jahan herself, suggests that she wrote poetry as a means to leave something behind after her death, and to deal with her tumultuous life at court
Wishing for a democratic constitutional monarchy in Iran, Javid Shah 🦁🌞
Beautiful video🏞
Till this day women in Northern Iraq still kick ass in the army.

persian wonder women💚🤍❤
The Amazon female warriors were also Iranian.
Required viewing for anyone discussing the Jina Mahsa Amini revolution.
The statues are wonderful (for example Shahpur). Do you know where they are?
Also you can mention the queen of the Saka who killed Cyrus the great. Not Persian but Iranian as well.
Near Bishapur in a limestone cave. Sorry for the late reply!
@@YoreHistory Danke viel Mal
As someone who has family in Iran it’s not as bad as media portrays it to be. But this is a lovely addition to ancient Iranian history ❤
Today I read in the news a bank manager in the Iranian city Qom has been sacked just because he happened to attend a women without the mandatory head -scarf , the Islamic regime in line with their" religious apartheid " has ruled that women without Islamic hijab should not be attended, and should be denied all social,statal, commercial services , I wonder how you could claim : " it’s not as bad as media portrays it to be ! " ? actually it is much worse .
@@majidbineshgar7156 Hi could you kindly state your source it would be most helpful as I have not heard nor read any of this.
I think you are either always drunk or a mercenary of the mullahs' government
@@Persian.impire How is me asking for a source because of an horrible event that has transpired in Qom makes me a merc ? Like here you are accusing of BS while I am talking respectfully please don’t spread rubbish.
@@Deoxsen Don't pay attention to these things, there are many mercenaries of the Islamic government. They take money from the government to spread nonsense.
Pre-islam...and after Islam ...a difference of civilizations and uncivilized barbarians.
Queen Victoria and her female line ancestors and female line descendants belonged to the mitochondrial haplogroup M or some mitochondrial haplogroup common in the Middle East, not H. In fact, Queen Victoria was a female line descendant of Queen Atossa of Persia whose mitochondrial haplogroup was definitely not H since she was Middle Eastern. 👗👠👑💍
random question, but what's up with their mouths at 7:45 ? :D
Lol will have to take a look...im working right now but will check after work.
Most of these women don't even have Wikipedia entries
Agreed and that's one of the issues with Iranian history, no one really covers it. There are more entries in other languages but scarce in English. There are a few and hopefully more get added.
Thanks for watching, cheers!

Pre Islam Persia had only one Nestorian Christian Queen Shirin

The Arab conquest of Iran is a great tragedy, which, unfortunately, few people realize. All culture, tradition, identity, and civilization were destroyed by the people the Persians called locust eaters(the same happened to Egyptians too). A woman who was considered freer than in the same ancient Rome and Greece was shrouded in a veil and deprived of many rights. By the way, if you have ever heard the misconception that Islam brought freedom to a woman (this is popular propaganda in Muslim countries), then know that this is an absolute lie. With Islam, a woman received at least some rights ONLY in the Arabian peninsula itself, where it was customary to get rid of newborn girls.
Freedom is close ...
Freedom to become America's slave, Soroush 🤡 If you hate being an Iranian so much, then get out. Live out your Western dream elsewhere and don't pollute our country.
Make a movie like what ottoman empire did
You forget about India
This was just women from Iranian heartland. However, some amazing Indian women, too.
What about common people? What I dont like about history is forgetting commoners and hightlighting and praising tyrants and their gods.
100% agree. If you look at my other series I do exactly that...history from the POV of commoners. IE DUtch sailor, British sailor, roman legionary series.
Alexander the great had them men executed for for burning persian documents and for the desecration of cyrus the greats tomb
