This is from the pre-Islamic Persia ? Wow. I'm surprised these survive. I wish newspapers were clear about the era instead of pussyfooting about the obvious.

For those not in the know, the Islamic Invasion of Persia was as brutal as it was in India - in fact, the natives were even forbidden from speaking their own language for many years, and the Zoarastrians were persecuted mercilessly until they slowly migrated out to India (and then once they established a 'special relationship' with the British in India, arm-twisted the Iranian Muslims to stop their barbarism).

Amusing that India is slowly devolving down this route too. Perhaps some 'moron' like myself will be whining endlessly about how the classical Indian civilization was destroyed by Indians in the near future, and the equivalent know-it-alls will be equally downvoting the comment. Ah, how history and futures rhyme.

That said, I'm happy all this survives despite the attempts at destruction (ditto with Christians across Egypt, Rome, Greece etc.)
