The Ancient And Forgotten Empire Of Persepolis

Thanks!

I'm from Tajikistan and I'm Persian 🙂. I feel very proud

As a young Iranian, I deeply thank everyone who was involved in making such an amazing documentary, i just couldn’t stop crying at the end, Long live peace, harmony, respect and Persia.

I am of Indian heritage. I know a good deal about Persia. I have nothing but deep respect for the Persian civilization.

Persia , the land of Art , poetry and love stories...

Absolutely a magnificent documentary. I was born in the city of Shiraz , Iran and I had the honor of being a tour guide in Persepolis from 1973-1978 before immigrating to the United States . I visited Persepolis more than 800 tomes and I truly miss that amazing palace.

Even after years, it still remains one of the best and most professional documentaries on the ancient Persian Empire! Thank you for making this wonderful documentary. It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I watch it

No one can undervalue the Persian contribution to the world. An amazing awesome awe inspiring empire. That you.

as an Iranian, i deeply thank you for such a masterpiece of work, well done!

I enjoyed this documentary. I am from the United States, but I self-educated myself in a love of ancient history, which included an interest in the Persians. I recently saw a travelog on YouTube that showed a bit of Iran. In truth, it is a beautiful country. It is strange how politics and religion creates enemies. I guess all civilizations have their high points and their falls.. (maybe multiple times). I suppose that my country will do the same. What endures really is the beauty of the people, the land, the cultural highlights that they give to the World. It seems strange to me that Iran is such an enemy here currently or China or Russia or Cuba. Oh well, time will pass. Our relationships and values will change. I don't know that I ever expect total World peace-understanding;; but I think some underappreciated Cultures will be recognized over time for their nobility, creativity, and contribution to Humanity. I think we all count, but we have to learn to live together.

Persian empire is alive in our hearts and it will be forever.

Persian ("Farsi") language was one of the most valued of it's time in India. Hindi has a lot of words borrowed from Farsi.

I liked the way you connected past to nowadays Iranians. Luxurious taste in daily life of Iranians is still there! The point is that I think most societies, specially west, is heavily biased against! Iranians are keen on colourful, orderly, and clean combinations, from foods to cloths, from floor to ceiling of the houses, all which usually are inferred wrongly! There are lots of things to think and talk! Again, thank you!

HOW FASCINATING IS THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, ITS HISTORY AND ITS CULTURE!!. HI FROM USA.

The story of Persia does not end with the wars against Greece and Rome. There had been at least five Persian empires, the last of which being around in the 17th-18th centuries. One must admire the vast knowledge of the Western/English-speaking presenters of this documentary. Extremely well done! These are well-educated individuals.

À regular visitor to Iran between 1998 and 2002, my last visit in February 2002 will remain forever carved in my memory. That morning I had the privilege, on my 3rd visit to Persepolis, to be totally alone on the entire site. I walked through the ruins of ancient vestibules and corridors, kitchen and library and paid homage to the cliff carved tombs of the great Persian kings, including that of Cyrus the Great, unifier of the Pars tribes, in Pasargades. Only a solitary visit to the towers of silence of Yazd at sunset in 1998 possibly managed to match the emotions I felt at Persepolis. So many fond memories that I’ll have to revive with another trip together with my wife...

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. When I was about 9 yrs old my dad gave me a book all about Persian legends...and I was hooked, the stories , the illustrations, I adored them all....and thus my love affair with the Persian Empire began.

Persepolis will be never forgotten . It is in Persian people heart. Greatest achievement at its time.

I wish this would have been several hours long. I loved learning these things about the Persians. I wish so much they would further excavate Persepolis and the private palace. Excellent documentary!!!

Persepolis is for sure the most incredibly beautiful and magnificent ceremonial palace, I was fortunate to see it in 2019.
