Going from that to I-Slam has to be viewed as a terrible reversal of fortunes.

But why 5 pics of the same guys walking up those steps?

[Khashayar]

They are not same guys. They are different citizens of different parts of the Persian Empire.

All religions are connected. The Magi (3 Kings) who brought gifts at the birth of Christ were Zoroastrians.

Cyrus the Great

Xenophon: Anabasis, or March Up Country
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/xenophon-anabasis.html

---

Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.

The Anabasis is his story of the march to Persia to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and take the throne from Artaxerxes, and the ensuing return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and March 399 B.C.

I first read about this in Victor Davis Hanson's "Carnage and Culture".

I wish the Iranians would hurry up and get rid of the mullets so I’d feel safe traveling there. They have some beautiful sites.
