Maybe contemporary Iranians would like to repudiate The Cult of the Arabian Moongod and return to the greater wisdom of their Persian past--a counterrevolution. (Anything would be better than what they've got now.)

Macchiavelli was a complete bastard.

Fascinating website with many beautiful things--but what is the website all about; what's a "Marvast"?

[FreedomCalls]

Why all the publicity? Is he running for public office somewhere?

Nice Post...
Do you have a url for the entrance to the site?

Great post. You never now what you're going to find on Free Republic!

Slightly off topic... About 20 years ago I was not accepted for an expedition searching for the lost army of Cambyses. The plan was to scan possible routes through the Western Desert between the Bahariya and Siwa Oases with camel-mounted ground penetrating radar. I'm serious! I later heard that this expedition was not successful. There have been subsequent reports of petroleum surveys turning up possible leads. This is one of the great mysteries of history; do you know of anything of significance to add?

When you look in Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra, and particularly Esther you see the same image of the Persians. Strict but fair. Often generous.
