GREAT?
A ruthless despot who massacred
millions and destroyed
ancient civilisations in his
thirst for power.

Cursed is he who destroys
greatness.
Cursed is he who kills for no
reason.
Cursed is he who destroys
order.
Cursed is he who punishes the
innocent.
Cursed is he who defiles
religious sites.
Cursed is he who calls himself
God
Cursed is he who attributes
evil deeds to God.
Cursed is he who is called
Alexander.
Poem on Alexander by Fraydon

PREFACE
It is my view that the standard,
popular version of Western history in relation towards the period of Alexander,
from birth to death, is based on self interest and pure
fiction.
Fiction because the Alexander
that they speak of does not historically exist. The Alexander that history has recorded
is immoral, monstrous, vile, cruel, and his actions
inexcusable.
His treatment of the conquered
was atrocious and he lacked humanity.
Regarding the self-interest of
the West of which points there are many, I feel the most powerful is of
identity. That is, the creation of
that identity, in this case a solely European roots. And for that matter a clear distinction
between East and West and the struggle for freedom and
righteousness.
However much the Greeks lack the
two, including civilization and justice.
The West especially since the 2nd World War with films such as 300 Spartans’, Marathon’, Alexander the Great’, wishes to portray
two different worlds. The world of
the oppressed’ East and the Free’ West.
The countless number of films and
books are continuously shown or reprinted or updated, for the purpose of keeping
the myth alive among the new generation.
In their effort they are helped
greatly by the present countries including that of IRAN which has become
Islamic, backward, oppressive and uncultured.
For many, especially this
picture, fits in well with their version of history. For all they need to do is to point at
the many atrocities that occur there, and ask the question Could they possibly be cultured and civilized?”
I hope this article answers their
questions. For indeed the Iran of
today is not the Iran of twenty
years ago or the Hakhamanish time.
The race, culture, religion,
government and thinking of the Iranians has changed.
In the distant past, they all use
to be of the Aryan race, worshippers of AhuraMazda, with their distinctive
Persian culture, and Shahs. Today's
Iran is an Republic and an Islamic one, the people are worshippers of Allah,
with their Arab culture and custom’s.
And in this I agree with the
Western writers, but today’s Iran is not the Iran of Alexander's times. Perhaps
there are those who wish it to be, for ancient Iran is a big problem for
Imperialist powers.
One perhaps can justifiably only
name it as a conspiracy to devalue and as in the newly published books such
as World History Encyclopedia” (the
millennium edition 1998 Dempsey Parr.) In it’s volume, The Ancient World, section ranging from
4 million years ago to AD 500; The first humans, Egypt, Indus Valley, Minoars,
Mycenaens, China, Assyrian's, Babylonians, Greece, Greek Culture, Alexander the
Great, The Celts, The Romans, Empires of Africa, India etc. In fact everything except the Iranian
empire is included. And one would
not wonder if after such circulation of books, in a few years time the existence
of the Iranian Empire would be and questioned denied.
The question should rightly be
asked to why such authors view and treat the Iranian Empire of 2,557 years ago.?
The systematic brainwashing of
the young and the new generation of Iranians by the Islamic Republic of Iran is
understandable, since the past which lies in glory and greatness needs to be
forgotten for the Islamic regime to be accepted. But for Western authors to also play an
active role in such brainwashing is more sinister. And does indicate a larger
agenda.
I have refrained from stating
a hidden’ agenda since to all
educated and aware the agenda is anything
but hidden: The destruction
of the Iranian Nation, Culture, Civilisation, History and
Race.
To some degree I have tried in
this article to highlight both the greatness of the Iranians and the true face
of Alexander, and the Greeks with it’s Western supporters. A few of their views in general have
been deliberately included to reveal to the reader their attitudes to Iran and
my justified anger.
Our historical past is important,
especially at a time when the Iranian Nation is under occupation and under
attack culturally by Arab ideology.
In the words of Mr. Norshir H.
Dadrawala ( Deen Parast’, Vol. 7.11 &
7.12 March-April 1998, page 4):
There is a condition called echolallia- a
condition in which a person goes on saying, over and over again, something he
has said or heard someone say.
Among autistic children, it is a frequent disorder. But among some, it is a Standard
technique.
The insinuation is put out by one
intellectual and before you know it, the fabrication is shouted out all
over. And comes to be taken for
granted. We, as a community, must
learn to beware of those who mislead”.
Iran has a power and culture so
deep rooted that it can never be destroyed.
The sooner the enemies of Iran
realize this the sooner they will not waste their time, converting by force
Iranians to a foreign culture or religion.
Iran is eternal, and shall arise
over and over again. It’s history unlike many other countries is that of pride,
and excellence. It’s heritage is
the greatest of all. And it’s history dates back to King Jamsheed more than ten thousand years
ago.
INTRODUCTION The title Great’, and many other titles have been
given to Alexander of
Macedonia’. Especially they have
been used in recent films, books and historical programs on
television. Surely a person’s greatness can
only be judged by what good a person accomplishes, or establishes or leaves
behind in his name. One is perplexed to why the
word Great’ is used in the context
of a man who destroyed cities, murdered the young and the old, desecrated holy
places of worship, robbed, and lay to ruin one of the greatest achievements of
mankind. And all this for what
purpose? I am amazed to hear and read such
old historical lies, repeated by the enemy after two thousand
years. Has not mankind, especially the
civilised West, seen good from evil deeds-or is this too difficult a task for
them to distinguish? One
day there shall come into the rich lands of Asia an unbelieving man, wearing on
his shoulders a purple cloak, savage, fiery, a stranger to justice. For a thunderbolt raised him up, though
he is but a man. All Asia shall
suffer a yoke of evil, And its soaked earth shall drink much blood. But even so hades shall attend him even
though he knows it not: And in the
end those whom he wished to destroy, By them will he and his race be
destroyed.” Oracle texts page 115 Michael Wood In the footsteps of Alexander the
