The Iranian philosopher Prof. M.Jamali about Firdausi's Shahnameh-Epic
Note: 'Rostam and Sohrab’ - The concept of „measuredness“ as a creative source in the ancient Iranian thinking - The ancient Iranian culture [1] was built on the idea that two forces or principles are brought into an interaction by another principle, namely that of a middle (Mai + dhyanna) or center, and in that way the two forces turn into a creative unit. The principle of the middle itself dissolves in the process of the binding, and the ‘two-ness’ becomes a unity. The middle stays invisible and ungraspable.

Persia: Ancient Soul of Iran
Note: What's so striking about the ruins of Persepolis in southern Iran, an ancient capital of the Persian Empire that was burned down after being conquered by Alexander the Great, is the absence of violent imagery on what's left of its stone walls. Among the carvings there are soldiers, but they're not fighting; there are weapons, but they're not drawn. Mainly you see emblems suggesting that something humane went on here instead—people of different nations gathering peacefully, bearing gifts, draping their hands amiably on one another's shoulders. In an era noted for its barbarity, Persepolis, it seems, was a relatively cosmopolitan place—and for many Iranians today its ruins are a breathtaking reminder of who their Persian ancestors were and what they did.

"Children of Adam are Limbs of a Single Body": By Fatemeh Keshavarz
Note: from Sa'di of Shiraz on "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" Sa'di, the thirteen century Iranian poet, was a man for all seasons. Distinct among his peers for a rare poetic talent and a sharp humor, he was a traveler, teacher, and master ghazal writer all in one.

PERSIAN EMPIRE & THE PERSIAN PEOPLE
Note: So you think you know everything about the Romans? They gave us sophisticated road systems, chariots and the modern-day calendar. And of course they had to contend with barbarian hordes who continually threatened the peace, safety and prosperity of their Empire. Didn't they? Terry Jones takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. Not only does it offer us the chance to see the Romans from a non-Roman perspective, it also reveals that most of the people written off by the Romans as uncivilized, savage and barbaric were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent groups of people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire. This is the true story of Roman history as seen by the Persians.
