1. It is a highly respected translation by A.D. Godley who was public orator at the University of Oxford. This edition was also published by Harvard University Press.
2. Once again you are confusing population with army size. Herodotus said Persia sent 5.2 million men (half of them soldiers) to...
I didn't take it from a source, I took it from his actual book. Here is the exact page:

From Herodotus's "Histories" he claims that 2.6 million armed soldiers where joined by 2.6 million support personnel totalling 5.2 million Persians...
It's not important what you believe. What is important is that Herodotus stated that 2.6 million Persians fought in battle and where defeated by 5000 Greeks. Look up Herodotus' account of the Battle of Thermopylae.
Herodotus is the same clown that said 2.6 Million Iranians got defeated by 5000 Greeks in a battle. So I don't take his opinions very seriously. Also the source I gave mentioned clearly they are Iranians, as I originally highlighted, not merely Indo-Europeans.
Now we are on subject of single...
Most of caucasus and central Asia used to be Iranic. Ossetians are a remnant of the previously Iranic Caucasus. They have always been Iranic and are descendants of the Alans.
Killing of innocent lives is not tolerable and should be condemned wether Iranian, Israeli or Martian.
Although I see many Israelis/Jews trying to say that the Iranian scientist assassinations where an inside job. This is highly laughable and is a bald-faced lie. Knowing Mossad's history it...
You are the ones giving Iran a reason.
Your president is the one drawing Looney Tunes cartoons in the UN about how scared he is of Iran. You are the ungratefuls who want to bomb us and continually talk about it. I suggest you continue your game of slap and tickle with your little Arab buddies...
I don't think it's strictly true that all Arabs are mix of Egyptian and Saudis. Lebanese for examples are descendants of Phoenicians and look nothing like Saudis or even Egyptians. I think I read somewhere that Lebanese are biologically the closest living relatives of the Jews.
That is an interesting video lol. I don't get it though, why would any Egyptian/Saudi voluntarily move to Gaza strip? Do you have any statistical proof of recent Arab migration to Israel/Palestine?
I don't even want to harm Israel. 2 wrongs don't make a right and too much time has passed. It would be cruel to displace modern day Israelis because of the actions of their ancestors. Also Israel is a nice counterbalance for Arab domination in the Middle East. Without you guys Iran would be the...
Proof that majority of Palestinians are foreigners not native to the land?
Also it doesn't matter how well or bad Arabs in Israel are living. I am sure there are Native Americans living well inside the United States, doesn't change the fact that their land was stolen.
Because you stole land from Palestinians. That's why people are obsessed about it. Imagine if you had stolen Croatia instead, and tried to justify it by saying "Christians have many other lands".
We are the oldest nation on earth. Only idiots and servants would think it is possible that we can...
It depends wether you like spicy food or not. Indians are used to spicy food, so Iranian dishes that are not kebab may not suit your palate.
Jamie Oliver stated the differences between Indian and Iranian food in this clip:
There are a few vegetarian options you can choose from.
The most obvious ones would probably be Mirza Ghasemi, Kashk e Bademjan and Kookoo Sabzi.
Also on top of this the traditional Iranian breakfast/starter noon, panir and sabzi is also vegetarian.
Venezuelan's showed nice respect to our President. Ahmadinejad also kissed the coffin of Hugo Chavez. I hope future of Iran and Venezuela relations will continue to get stronger and stronger.
