The First Photographs Ever Taken of Iran [1848-1858] by Colonel Luigi Pesce + Persepolis, Old World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2023
- Howdy ya’ll. Welcome back. I’ve found an astounding collection of the very first photographs of Iran, all taken by Colonel Luigi Pesce of Naples, who was deployed to Iran in 1848, in charge of training Iran’s new infantry troops up to the Italian Standard. While stationed in Iran, Luigi Pesce gained an appreciation, some would say a love, for the ancient structures and artifacts he would come in contact with on a daily basis.
He decided to combine his new appreciation for Ancient Iran with his favorite hobby, which was the up-and-coming technology of photography. From 1848 through 1858, Luigi photographed the cities, monuments, and people of Iran. The photographs are very clear and detailed for the time. Today we will view his seldom seen, yet historically important collection in complete detail.
To look at the Old World through the lens of the Middle East, with a focus on Iran, we find numerous structures in this collection; ancient sites of biblical importance, photographed for the very first time in history.

Hi Jarid, thank you for the compilation! We were born & raised in Iran & have visited some of the locations you showed growing up. Mom kept an album and she has many photos. In one, she is looking out of the opening on top of one of those swinging towers called “Menar Jonban”. She was telling us how the tower would swing so gently and both towers used to swing together. The story was that the British came and dug up one of the tower bases to figure out the mechanism and couldn’t figure it out. She remembers visiting an ancient so called “Bath House” which would heat up and light up by just one candle. When they turned off the candle, it would go cold. She said again those same British took it apart but couldn’t figure it out and left it destroyed and that bath house never heat up again!
We even remember when we visited the Kish island in the Persian Gulf one summer long long time ago, we were taken to the site of a subterranean city that had just been discovered but hadn’t been dug up completely yet. This was in the middle of nowhere. we went on a tour bus and as we approached we saw a huge yellow taped area on the sand where one portion was exposed. It was guarded of course. We remember seeing long stairs going underground. The “story” was, the Portuguese pirates built the whole city underground to hide from authorities! We were not allowed to take photos or get too close. Needless to say when we returned, we never heard anything on the news or anywhere else about that site. Recently we found out that an ancient city was discovered but in 1999 which was years after we had visited the site! This didn’t add up at all and, and, and they have “modernized” the whole place! Whatever that means. We think it means they have taken their sweet time, i.e. years in removing all the artifacts, redesigning the whole area to make it match their narrative.
Sorry for the long comment. Thought it would be interesting to some.
Thank you for sharing your memories.
Its called , hiding History .
Of course…the corrupt powers that run the world can’t have us knowing about the high technology of the antedeluvian (pre flood) world because it would prove our sacred texts and mythologies correct.
As know when they won't allow photographs by mere visitors, they have ill intent.
Thankyou for sharing, very much appreciated 🙏🏻👍🏻
Imagine what it’d looked like during its glory days. Must’ve been truly magical.
😢😢Aber alles wurde zerstört ,.
Definitely, people had so much patience and very passionate about craftsmanship... It probably look like a fantasy world back then like what you see in games.
I believe your right with magical they must have known something we don't, of course I'm saying over a small black piece of mirror so maybe we are ?
Amazing dome type structures existed during that time persia is truly magical
I feel goose pumps, maybe the spirit has memory, well who wouldnt feel it when watching even the ruins of the ancient marvels, amazing ❤!!!
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Thank goodness someone had the foresight for the future.
It’s all so beautiful. Imagine what things must have looked like when they were newly built.
And full of colour!
Splendid and fit for the Kings.
It’s not hard to imagine how beautiful those buildings must have been.
Wow, these pictures are pure gold. They are the testimony of a very advanced technological civilization, with gigantic buildings and monuments. These cities were abandoned long ago and the few people around look minuscle in proportion to the structures. In the picture of the bed I thought I saw a chandelier🤣 and in others what seemed to be glasses on the windows. Thank you so much for sharing them.
Agreed
God is awesome.
1st civilisation all washed away by the Great Flood. Wonder if these were built by the Nebuchadnezzar kingdom (Daniel's time). End is approaching our's the last kingdom mixed feet with iron and clay (Daniel's prophecy). "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8. God Bless.

The photographs taken by Luigi Pesce are priceless. Thank you for this presentation, it’s beautiful.
The 1850+! Amazing
Nice
Really, yes
Priceless? They can catch on fire rght?
What's most interesting is that at least one person had the mindset to know what an amazing history THAT NEEDED to be captured, apposed to someone just taking a number of photos .He knew there was a preexisting history that was Vitaly important for future generations and review.
Rather, they were planned expeditions that were supposed to map the situation in the new world after the disaster. Especially the British Empire, on which the sun did not set at that time, made many such expeditions around the world, and I believe that not all the documents obtained are available to the public today.
@@dusanputnik There is a Well of grater understanding that can be found, and there is always nuance in creative thinking. But in the space of things that actually took place will never fully and completely be validated. But when surrounding evidence so vast and all over the world only the choice few will see it let alone conceive it to be true. This is the problem the sheep have been in the pen way to long, they are not accustomed to want to advance out of there sheep mindset, and that is there Plan. it's been done before.
@@dusanputnik No. They are tucked away under the Vatican. I heard about 10yrs ago that they're being removed from Vatican library and spirited away to Is-ra-el.
Yes, and he might of got a hint that it was being destroyed by time, wars, habitation, and would not be there forever , except in his astounding work .👍💙
@@dusanputnikyou know they have hidden archives somewhere
What Colonel Luigi has done deserves respect and appreciation.
Yes, most of these structures have been restored and are still standing, unlike Colonel Luigi, other archaeologists have taken many treasures with them during their ancient investigations.
Most of which are now in the Louvre Museum of France, the Metropolitan Museum of America, the Hermitage of Russia, the British Museum, and Florence, Italy, or other private collections. Among them, Cyrus' Charter of Human Rights, which is now kept in London, England.
At the end of the Qajar and especially the Pahlavi period, more than 8 million recorded historical works left Iran.
The photos are an incredible moment in time, thank you. Is there anywhere were I can get a brief descriptions of these photos? Are photos of these places still standing? Approximately where were these photos taken? And, the pictograph images, I assume some were pre Islam. Love to know more history and commentary about the photos. It is very intriguing. Thank you.
@@jerrys4841 If you are interested, I will also introduce more specialized blogs.
Lol bruh you ever tried to taken any thing from Iran? Iran takes from you and that’s it. We took solamani and that’s it. They dun killed 8 Americans for that shit
One can only hope that one day, these treasures will be repatriated to their rightful place of origin.
He was a spy
One of the most ancient civilization in the world.... Whoow, seems they're in peace and harmony. Proud That an Italian took those photos, when have an artistic eye
Their history goes back more than 5,000 years.
I can only imagine all the wars and destruction of cities. Such a loss of history.
WOW!! These pictures are AMAZING!! Leaves me to wonder if any of these structures are still there. Probably not. Jared you one up yourself every time you post a video. Thank you for the time and effort Brother!! God bless you and all who see this!! I love you all!!🙏🙏💖💖
Many of these historical sites have been destroyed by CIA-funded ISIS

Hi Jarid, thank you so much for this very important view on middle east history. Today's people have a complete misconception on the early Iran history and beauty. Blessing from South Africa
I love how the art tells the story of the importance of the Iranian people played in connecting the world, awesome architecture ❤🧡💛
The winged representations of Enki. In 1850s ...really how old is the history. Excellent set of photos Jared . Cannot get over the size of this complex. Doorways that tall if it not for tall people.Then why don’t we have them on our homes just for effect. No construction scaffolding, no people either?
excellent work brother. i just collected a bunch of Iranian Babylonian photos of the 1800s for an episode too
Can't wait to see it Bernie ❤
Did ya see big aliens
Can’t wait
Beautiful photographs! It makes me sad to think that few terrible humans from all parts of the world have caused so much divide, so much pain, and deaths of so many humans. We should all be sharing these wonderful pieces of history, enjoying each others company, and embracing each others differences, that makes us human.

When I view all the ancient ruins destroyed by man.; I just cry. It’s sooo…senseless. Man can be so cruel.
But unfortunately if we all unite, those you mentioned, and their families, cannot drive their Lamborghinis, think about sex 24/7, and be the idiots they are
Attempts at common consensus via a common language and its associations with geometric and biological order and reality, still exist in a state of argument and a competition for supremacy among various nations and 'egos. So we have conflicts where eacch tries to eradicate the opposing side. So a few men can live in palacess?
No Matter which country it's a club of " elites " that do it by confusion and deception they play to use the people.thats what I hate most they are able to use the people to do their evils
Simply Astonishing.. my great grandfather taught at the University of Iran in the 40s-50s.. seeing his old world photos as a youngster certainly opened up questions for me that still have no answers. Thanks Brother Boosters!
The remnant of a once magical era in earths history,these photos do it no justice,amazing none the less,thank you.
Hey Jarid. The algorithm found me so I will smash that like button and subscribed yesterday. Your information and photos convince me even more so of the mud floods and resets throughout different time. Loving these pics from Iran so long ago and of old American cities. Thanks so much
The fact that most people in the world dont recognize these ruins are simply unbelievable...😮
This gives me chills. Absolutely stunning part of the world.
In 1826 the first photograph was taken? Let’s say that Luigi’s images were taken approximately 25-30 years later… I wonder how much other stuff disappeared in that timeframe, never to be seen visually again? The building’s/architecture of old were clearly built/constructed by extremely skilled ‘craftsmen’ and their work of then… well, it hasn’t been matched since. Why is that?
Wow, thank you so much for all your research and the material you share
as a historian i must say that these images are beyond flippin amazing. If only we knew ...
Freemasons worship G.A.O.T.U.; the Great Architect of the Universe AKA Lucifer. Just an FYI.
your masters hide the truth from you and your colleagues...
/G\
Many people do know. They wont share but rather keep their ignorant slaves.
Even without color, these photographs really freeze the ancient past, so beautifully...especially, against a backdrop of beautiful trees and rare waters, from time to time. Just breathtaking!
Yes, but without color I can't tell where the waters end and the trees start. That's just not right.
True, but it's still history on the hoof--considering the cumbersome technology, these are all pretty crisp images...you can almost feel the sun on these monuments, when you look at them...@@offbeat65
Im sure there is some software these days to colorize them
Thank you for posting this. I was born and raised in Shiraz, the closest large city to Persepolis (the Greek name for the site) or as we call it Takht-e Jamshid (Jamshid’s throne). I believe you mentioned the king on the throne at the time this photographs were taken incorrectly. Mohammad Shah (Qatar dynasty) ruled from 1834 to 1848 followed by Nasser Addin Shah from 1848 to 1896 (unless it was an understandable mispronunciation). If you ever have a chance to see this site do not hesitate. To say that it is magnificent is woefully understated. A good portion of the ruins which were either in disarray or covered with dirt at the time of the photos, are now restored and reassembled and there is a museum on the site were artifacts that were unearthed are on display. What a shame that this world heritage is under the fist of a government that cares nothing about the Iranian people and our glorious roots.
So much caught on camera? So much not. Lost to time yet again. Much appreciated thx. 👍🙏 preserve our past , it's all we are.
So true
The buildings with the opening in the 2nd storey with coverings that roll up to allow the breeze in are awesome.
Persia has such a rich history, and old photos like these are amazing! What a treasure they are.
I wish I knew what the music is - it's beautiful too. I looked but didn't see any mention of it in the drop box.
Oh 👏 my 👏 goodness 👏 !
You really have curated quite a comprehensive collection here.
Absolutely stunning!
The stone carving of what looks like the annunaki with the lion!
Very beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing.
Breathtaking! It blows my mind that these beautiful structures are so old and abandoned to time! 👌
Thank you so much for sharing these gems of photography and architecture. Beautiful country. I hope that a lot of these monuments still exist with all the wars and earthquakes.
wars at such places are meant to destroy these monuments and delete history...
Anyone remember who I think was that went thru all the nations and broke the nose off of every carving and statue they could find? I vaguely recall something about it but cannot remember the details.
Tbh, flat nose bridge & wide nostril isn't exclusively sub-saharan african. I assume you live in the US where there is only black and white rhetoric & dichotomy on which is whiter and which is blacker.
That’s the OG way of showing disrespect if I’m not mistaken, you bust the nose off.
@@tatepierson4626 yes!!. Something about that.

It's so amazing! This must have been a center of the world massive cities and sites for so many people in every direction. All the life that has come and gone in ancient times was probably focused in this area. So much history and stories for thousands of years had to take place here. Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
They are all over the world so I herd
Beautiful in every way. What a wonderful treat. Thank you so very much and the music did it all well respectively.
Note that the people of Iran at that time also seemed to be living in the ruins of a higher civilization (just the towns, not even the "ancient ruins" )
True

MY EX WIFE IS FROM IRAN AND IN 2007 I TRAVELED TO IRAN TO MEET HER FAMILY, OUT OF RESPECT I MARRIED HER WHILST IN IRAN. OUR HONEYMOON WAS SPEND VISITING ALL THE SITES AS PER THIS VIDEO. AND PHOTOS DON'T TO THESE SITES JUSTICE, PERSEPOLIS STILL BLOWS MY MIND ALL THESE YEARS LATER. WE WERE LUCKY TO BEFRIEND A LOCAL TAXI DRIVER AS HE TOOK US OFF THE BEATEN TRACK TO SOME OLD BUILDINGS AND RELICS NOT EVEN SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. THE 7 WEEKS I SPEND THERE ARE STILL SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF MY NEARLY 6 DECADES ON THIS PLANET, I FOUND THE PEOPLE OF IRAN FRIENDLY, WARM AND ALL JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT WHY A BLUE EYED BLOND HAIRED 6'4'' PALE SKINNED EUROPEAN MALE WOULD VISIT THEIR GREAT COUNTRY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COUNTRIES, LIVED IN EUROPE, LIVED IN THE USA, AND NOW RESIDE IN AUSSIELAND, BUT I WOULD GO BACK TO IRAN IN A HEARTBEAT. THEIR FOOD WAS AMAZING, TEHRAN WAS AMAZING AS WELL, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, MARKETS, FOOD STANDS, AND AT NIGHT EVERYONE COMES OUT TO RELAX AND CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THEY SHARE FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS WITH ANY ONE, I HAVE TASTED MANY STYLES OF BBQ AROUND THE GLOBE, BUT IRANIAN BBQ IS UP THERE WITH THE BEST! SADLY MY MARRIAGE WITH MY PERSIAN PRINCES DID NOT LAST, BUT I CHERISH THE GREAT TIME I HAD WITH HER IN IRAN, AND WOULD RECOMMEND VISITING IRAN TO ANY ONE.
Thank you for sharing your insight. I would be afraid to visit Iran but I guess that’s because I have been brain washed.
You ok?
@@Anfstunes LIKE ANY DESTINATION THAT IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM YOUR HOME COUNTRY, DO YOUR RESEARCH. IRAN IS AN ISLAMIC NATION, SO THEY HAVE RULES THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT TO THE WESTERN WORLD, SPECIALLY FOR WOMEN. BUT RESPECT THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND THEY WILL RESPECT YOU. I AT NO TIME FELT IN DANGER WHEN I WAS IRAN, BUT I WAS WITH MY WIFE THAT WAS IRANIAN, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE THINGS COULD BECOME SOMEWHAT HARDER, ALTHOUGH IRANIANS DO SPEAK ENGLISH, SOMEWHAT LIKE EUROPEANS. NOW THE BRAIN WASHING COMMENT, WELL I AM FROM THE 60'S AND WAS TOLD WE WENT TO THE MOON AND ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET CAME FROM A BIG BANG, AND FOUND OUT THEY LIED TO US FROM DAY ONE WHEN I WENT TO PUBLIC/GOVERNMENT SCHOOL LOL. REGARDING THE USA VS IRAN, SURE THE TENSION WAS THERE ON A POLITICAL LEVEL, WHEN I WAS THERE I TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THAT WHOLE SAGA WITH THE USA, NOT A SINGLE PERSON SHOWED HATE TOWARDS THE USA, SURE THEY DON'T LIKE THE USA SANCTIONED THEM, BUT ALL JUST WANTED TO GO TO WORK, HAVE A FAMILY AND LIVE LIFE AND SO ON. I HAVE BEEN TO A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE HATE TOWARDS THE WEST IS FOR ALL TO SEE AND BEING A WESTERNER GOING TO SOME COUNTRIES IS NOT SAFE, AGAIN DO YOUR RESEARCH, LEARN ABOUT THE CULTURE AND SO ON. AS A WHITE MAN THERE ARE PLENTY OF PARTS OF THE WESTERN WORLD WHERE I WOULD NOT BE SAFE, AGAIN DO YOUR RESEARCH AND APPLY SOME LEVEL OF CRITICAL THINKING, ALTHOUGH THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN BRED OUT OF PEOPLE INCLUDING THEIR SPINE, BUT THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY LOL

how lucky we are to have had such a wonderfull collection of historic images taken as most of the monuments are probably now destroyed / damaged and this collection is most likely the only evidence of how they used to be. great job compiling the collection.
The photographs are stunning. The music is nice. Thank you so much for uploading!
Strangly the ancient Iranian iconography carved in the rock is just the same as the assyro babilonian or sumerian.
Same region and peoples
Phenomenal work Jared thank you so much for bringing these things to our attention.
babilon fall was due to massive imigration to the city, hope verybody learns the lesson
Persepolis was built with the help of Assyrian architects after they were freed from Babylonian prison by Cyrus that's why some of the elements are similar to those of mesopotamia but some of them are also unique like lion slaying the bull, Griffin head columns, Achaemenid soldiers, kings, clothes are also different from those in mesopotamia
Thank you for the info 👍
Also by Lydian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Athenian, Armenian, and other captured artisans, craftsmen, architects, plus hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war from many occupied lands and at the expenses of the same invaded peoples though heavy tributes and over taxations for 200 years.
10:19 10:54 13:13 some of my favorites. So much history! Awesome collection.
This really hits home for me because I am of Persian decent through my grandfather on my mother’s side and I’ve never had a chance to know him so when I watch things like this I’m blown away by my heritage and it makes me extremely proud to be directly related to such a special people in the history of humanity. The Persian empire impacted the modern and ancient world PERMANENTLY and had left their mark on society. Modern day history that’s being taught in schools is all inaccurate and full of biased lies and deceptions to force a narrative about the ancient ethnic world that is entirely inaccurate. Cyrus the Great was and still is the only human king ruler that is revered as a Messiah type figure. No other human king can claim that title PERIOD! Now I am a Christian by choice because of my studying I’ve come my conclusion about the one true God but when I read about my people in the Bible it brings me joy and a sense of pride to know that even God Himself loved Cyrus and anointed Cyrus the Great and loved all people’s including the Persian people and our history all being intertwined makes the mystery of all things a giant puzzle and this beautiful place in history is just another piece to that puzzle. Beautiful video man the whole thing was a pleasure to watch thank you for your content
Many archeologists believe the Persians were the Aryans. It's my understanding that there are not that many left. Today's Iranians are of Arab decent. If you are Persian you are indeed blessed beyond measure. ❤

It’s really so sad to think that we are possibly going to war against these beautiful people and their history will be bombed into complete ruins.
Thank you for sharing these amazing photographs that only hint to the great civilization that loved, worked, and played in our forgotten history.
The current Iranians there are not indigenous to the land they’re not the original ancient Babylonians that built those structures so don’t feel bad. Same thing with the afghans they’re not indigenous they migrated from somewhere near the caucuses mountains and Eastern Europe then settled there in the Middle East.
@@CallsignethiopiaDon’t feel bad about mass murdering a population simply because they are not native to the land?! Ok Satan.
It has become Clear that Worlds are upon worlds! The world history as we have known it is that “ someone’s Story” Your photos empower our Ancient Wisdom. AHO
I absolutely love history and historical photos. Thankyou so. 👍
I have so much respect for the first photographers. Imagine if time travel was a thing and you could tell this dude that people 170+ years in the future would still be appreciating his photos, amazing.
yes i am also happy that people in 200 year will be able to see what i had for breakfast.
Iran had abandoned ruins before abandoned places were cool... these pictures brought me so much joy and also tear to my eyes...about the wonders of Persia and Iran and the wonderful people there... look at their dresses, look at the tall buildings ... mostly gone... its so sad... it seems that no one in the modern world cares about the pain and suffering endured by the people of this great nation...! I hope the future will be better than the past 2500 years.... like in the 60's and early 70's, the golden age of Iran...!
Incredible collection! Thank you very much for your generosity in sharing these.
Amazing collection .... for someone whose in the construction industry .... truly staggering buildings.
absolutely amazing as always, this video really hit me, its hard to imagine how glorious these places once were. cheers folks
It's very clear the people of Iran at that time seemed to be living in the ruins of a higher/advanced civilisation
Iran was on the Silk road, doing business between Orient and Occident, It was an extremely rich country.
💯🎯
The USA is now likely collapsing , after 250 years. Iran has survived for many thousands of years. Have some humility.
Nothing new under the sun
We'll never know now - they blew the shit out of it!
Like us, these Iranians lived in a world we inherited from a glorious past. The photos serve as further evidence of a world -wide free energy grid, from the numerous images of antennas on tops of the wondrous globes. I suspect the globes themselves were built for sound resonance, singing as a means of uplifting the spirit.
I build the world I live in bro. You’re no man.
This are some of the most beautiful pictures I have seen... So much history to discover
Wow! Look 3:23 looks like same electrical devices seen elsewhere in world but even older!😮
This society must have been filled with artisans and architects. It is hard to believe that that hard and dry landscape produced such abundance. Unless these were built at a much more fruitful time.
Hats off to Colonel! How could he travel around Persia that time (with absolutely no roads) and keep these treasures for us.
They traveled on miles, horses and camels then in the mountains.
Thank you for sharing this. Many , like myself , can not get to places that house these and other treasures to enjoy, but here we are able to see and enjoy them.
@ 7:23 there is a giant leaning against a tree on the left, he must be at least 20 feet tall
another @ 18:37 against the far right wall- 15-18 ft tall
I thought the two people at 11:11 looked big in comparison to the door. But shrugged it off until I saw your comment.
Right in front of my face and I still can’t accept it. lol

How amazing it would be to go back in time to see it all in its glory. We have devolved
Amazing..... Love them.... What an absolute shame most would be destroyed now ... 😢
All of them remained untouched untill now.
It is being renovated and they have discovered underground passages and chambers.
Thank you, Jarid! These photos are magical. I feel like I'm seeing the remains of not only another time, but another world that existed only in fantasy. I see this even in the faces in the portraits. The structures are collapsing, yet they stand as witnesses to antiquity. (I hope that they are not all destroyed by stupid wars.)
Much love and blessings. 🤗❤️🩷💜🙏
wow thank you! iran is one of the most beautiful places in the world. so many tried to conquer it. i have only been once when iwas too little to remember much. it's very sad it's not a normal place where everyone can visit.
Of course is Iran a normal place and anybody can visit it except zionists and that’s very good!
Breathtaking. Spellbinding.
Beautiful Iran ❤
Minute 1:11 & the icon image for this video shows how Enki and Enlil used to look & the original constructor Annunaki race of our hollogram. Later cloned versions of their race morphed into dragon like creatures w/ multiple heads. These are slowly getting destroyed by humans of light which also explains why the hollogram is slowly falling apart.
On the day of the Persian New Year, March 21 1935, Reza Shah Pahlavi, requested foreign delegates to use the term Iran, instead of Persia, in a conscious reference to the ancient ancestry of the Iranians. So country was Persia before that.
Persian is an ethnicity. Iran is around 50% Persian ethnicity and the Azerbaijani, Kurds etc. So the naming of Iran was maybe to unify the nation more than anything. In political terms, it helped bring them closer to Europe too, since I(a)r(y)an meant people from the Caucasus region closer to Europe.
Moses never released us. We are still workers for a ruling class. They just changed the form. The kings became nations and flags. Tyranny is preferable to democracy, because now our mind and soul is imprisioned. Our thoughts are no longer free, although our bodies seemingly move without boundaries. Mind over matter. We are spiritual beings in a spiritual world. Free will is an illusion. Free your mind. Open your soul. Spread your wings and fly. Take back control. Destiny is fulfillment. Coincedence are the errors we make before success. We know whats wrong but we never experienced right. All lies are one truth. Close your eyes. Trust your feelings. We are one. Do not fear ❤

A) Changing the name was done to distance us from our glorious history .
B) only 50% of Iran is Persian ?
Azeri , Kurd and etc ?
We don’t have a single foreign group in Iran and everyone you mentioned has Persian roots .
Persia has fought 1000s of wars and has won most but it is natural to lose a few wars .
Every time we lost a war the nation got occupied for a while and the occupiers left a trace in our country by mixing with some of our people.
For example when the Ar, Ar,Arabs occupied our nation since the south is where all of the harbors were and was a hub of business they concentrated there and that is why we have Persian-Arabs there .
The same with everyone else .
Türk = mongol+ another race .
The first time the name Turk was mentioned in the history was in 8th century in Kyrgyzstan.
If you look at the Turkic nations they are all on the mongol westward expansion path to Middle East.
That is why the people of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are all mongol looking .
I am a ghashghaee Turk and the reason we don’t look mongol is because we are not mongol Turks , we are Turco Persians and we are central Asian Turks .
This doesn’t mean that we are from Central Asia , it means that we didn’t mix with the mongols directly, we have very little central Asian blood in us .
What is the difference between us and the mongol Turks ?
Imagine you marry a Venezuelan girl and bring her to Iran and live and die there, then 7 generations later your great great grandchildren will still have a very little Venezuelan DNA in them . I am 85% Persian, 8% lur and 7% central Asian .
Does this make me a foreigner in my land ? No.
If I was 7% Arab should I consider myself and Arab ?
F$&@$ NO. 😅
Magnificent collection of photographs through calm and objective, or even analytical eyes. They are truly realistic and appealing, I’m really feeling like watching the outside view from an observer’s seat on a time machine during the video.
Thanks for the upload without an excessive info loading narration.
Great job by Luigi Pesce and thanks to you
A very moving portrait of a lost and forgotten epoch, before Iran, before Persia. Back to the dawn of civilization. Unforgettable, seeing the bones of that ancient time, and their structures crumbling into sand and dust. Very humbling. What has gone before us is a great unknown...
Wow, this is just mesmerizing. It transports you back in time. Fabulous job. I love your channel.
Beautifully presented, especially since I believe, many of these antiquities may have been destroyed by so-called modern invaders. The Persian, Assyrian had a great artistry, in a very stark landscape, and Pesce recorded the Muslim structures as well. Great job!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Master geometers, and it comes through so strongly in the architectural form and its decoration. Wonderful!
Gotta say this is one of the most amazing and mindblowing videos I've seen in a long time, and I'm old. It's clear this civilization was ancient before the new people found it, and draped cheap curtains upon its detailed walls. I would wager that every continent has a Found civilization around this time period. The new people had no idea what to do with it, there was no instruction manual, it was here just waiting for them. An open sandlot.
Anything showcased at a world's fair is just pushing the approved narrative.
i like Graham hancock theory on this :)
I just wane say these pitchers are priceless, imagine 160 years ago the camera’s 🎥 wasn’t advanced as todays are , but the pictures are magnificent.. thank you 🙏
Persia ❤🇮🇷
Quick correction pictures.. not pitchers which is a liquid container 🫙 sorta thing.
Our cameras are inferior to the old ones
That was so interesting! Thank you for posting. There was so much vegetation and water! I wonder if it like that today.
Those photographs are absolutely amazing. It fills you with nostalgia and even the type of love for that culture. I hope we can Patch our differences up someday so that I can visit Iran.
The obelisk was a fascinating piece of art. Amazing how these structures were designed and constructed. I always wonder who designed and thought out the engineering and construction.
Amazing photos. Do we know the dating on some of the structures and sights? There are a few that looked like they could match some of the Egyptian periods. How many of these sights are still standing?
thx so much mate for researchig, editing and uploading this content. Luigi Pesce photographs are Priceless.
WOW!!!! Thank you for all your hard work on this!!! Just incredible to see!!!❤👏👏👏perfect music too!
It's wonderful that we have a chance to see these buildings, even some in ruins and still beautiful. I'm so glad to see that these photographs exist and were preserved! I hope these beautiful places are also still preserved.
That was beautiful. Thanks for putting it together for us!
Great pictures and great architecture. A true testament that civilisations come and go . One can only imagine what American will look like in a thousand yrs.
Nick Johnson vids good start.
Thanks for sharing this part of our history, as recorded in these early photographs. I hope someone in Iran would do a comparative photo exercise to see how well (or how bad) have these sites been preserved over the past 175 years! Proper preservation of one's history is indicative of a nation's culture and civilization, and a reflection of its stable or turbulent politics and economic wellbeing. Since the rule of Nasereddin Shah of the Qajar dynasty, Iran has suffered immense socio-political upheavals. I wonder how many of these structures have survived to this day?
I think I saw a show on PBS of these places. A new modern show in color.
Unfortunately, many of these sites are in disrepair even some of the most famous ones in larger cities. recently the shriaz city council decided to destroy large swaths of the historical context of Shiraz, rather then replace or renovate the buildings they are clearing room for a large religious monument, a structure, literally representing the current ideological state of Iran, one more concerned with Shia cultural hegemony rather than Iranian identity. Seems like Iran is still a land of crumbling ruins.
Absolutely wonderful, thank you for sharing, but one thing I noticed on some of the buildings were all the rainwater spouts, for a country that doesn't appear to have a lot of rain, they sure installed a lot of rainwater spouts.
There's also the pools and ponds and that amazing stepped water way at 21:00, it would be amazing to know if it still exists to this day, although doubtful.
And mud flood windows
@@Ladymadonna007 Yes, spot on, forgot them!
They have little rain fall now, though back when constructed the rain fall may have differed substantially.
@@s1lv3rbordeaux47 Must have done, for so many water spouts and such an integrated rainwater system, all the ponds, pools and man made cascading waterways, appears they didn't have an issue with water at some point in the past!
@@kateemma- Look up The Persian Qanat, the water comes from underground
Woah... I can't imagine too much of this is left... Enchanting and Beautiful. I wonder what it was like in all of its splendor so long ago.
Wow! I’m first generation American/Iranian and saw Iran when I was 9 years old for 6 months in 1981 and it is difficult to remember much of it but this is incredibly important and interesting. Thanks for the production of the video.
Seeing these photos made me about cry. How terrible that it was so disrespected. These people charished and honored their past
Man, this is one of the greatest videos I’ve seen as far as raw images. It’s beautiful I must’ve screen shotted so many pics of things that I wanna paint it’s amazing. Thank you.
Pictures and music are wonderful!
wow I really love watching old photos but this video was awesome with the piano and the slow passes through all the photographs. Lots of things for meditate after seeing it.Thank you very much Sir Peace
What a Treasure Trove!!! Thank you, SO MUCH, for sharing with us!! Unbelievable!!
