ALEXANDER THE CURSED BY FRAYDON ARYAN


IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ALEXANDER THE ACCURSED

Historical writers from past and present such as  Robin Lane Fox’ who have chosen to write on Alexander, have sought to do so with a racist, warped and narrow view of world history and civilization.  For example, in the opening Chapter of   The Search for Alexander” by  Robin Lane Fox’, we clearly get his viewpoint and perspective (or lack of) on the subject matter:



 Nobody in the world had drama and the theatre till the Greeks invented them.  Nobody asked a philosophic question.  There were no athletics, no history.  The Greeks also invented politics.  Literacy, in most Greek states was a widely diffused habit, no secret art.  Like their statues and sculptures, the man in its records come immediately to life, lit up by comparison with any preliterate people than by a common sense grasp that these are men with our own esteem for honour and gain, slogans and oratory, decency and personal satire................

In eastern cultures from Egypt, to China, scribes and doctors merely compile their lists of facts across the centuries.  But the Greeks composed arguments and first explained the pattern of facts by general laws.  Scientific thought was born in the Greek city and its open debates.......

Bolder in their mathematics, the Greeks led architecture to a simpler harmony.

Above all, they left the world their poets, not only the great play writers of classical Athens but a score of masters of lyric verse, and towering over them all a Homer who has left historians of literature to live with an awkward fact: that the first known poet in the West is still quite comfortably the best.........

The world of the Greeks did its best to civilize the Romans.  Without it they would have been even worse.  It still throws down a challenge to us.  For century on either side of Alexander's life exposed truth after truth that would be  lost for over a thousand years and then often undervalued since.  Men in Greek cities were the first to realize that the earth, for instance, goes around the sun....

 The Search for Alexander’.

By Robin Lane Fox,

Penguin Books, 1980 UK.


The above is a general view shared and expressed by most writers on Alexander.

It is no surprise that with such a view, how the historical Alexander disappears from their writings; and the tradition of falsification and justification for barbarity in the guise of culture and civilisation is portrayed.

Every statement of the above quote without exception is false and its root comes from the false history of the West; from the Greek thieves.  This is stated without prejudice or exaggeration and requires no justification to those scholars of history who are interested in TRUTH.

And as for Robin lane Fox; he in his own words states:  My first large guess work on Alexander’s era”.  Hardly what one would expect from a Western scholar  Guess work”.

But in general. there is no value given to the alternative (i.e. FACTUAL) historical tradition.

Plays and historical depiction of Great men of Iran were first recorded in the Iranian Royal Court in the time of the Sumerians.

The great philosophical thinkers of all time recorded their thoughts and asked their universal questions such as (prophet) Zarathustra.

Athletics and sports in general were established by the Iranians in the times of Rustam.

First recorded history of antiquity is the Holy Avesta.

Literacy, statues, all had been created and were deep rooted long before the Greeks needed to establish them, the civilized and developed world of the Egyptian's Babylonians, Persians, Indians and Chinese.

Scientific thought was thought of long before the Greeks and was in practice in Egypt and Iran and China.  Long before the Greeks built Cities to  live in or houses to sleep in.

In fact the Greeks traveled abroad to Egypt, Babylon and Iran to study mathematics, architecture and astrology.

Every classical architectural motif or order of the Greeks is a copy of past architectural masterpieces of the ancient world.

The mathematical equations and naming of the planets had been done thousands of years before the Greeks by the Eastern civilizations.

Either the Western historians are ignorant with self delusion of Western origins or deliberate falsification of history is their aim.  By simply equating achievements of other countries to Greece; a country of no value or worth in shaping world history or discoveries.

In fact, Greece at that period of History was a village and the poorest country by far - not just by wealth;  Its people as soon as they could, for a better standard of life, migrated, as they do to this day.

And more than two hundred years before Alexander, king of Iran Kourash the Great had brought in a rule of justice, peace, and freedom to the region uniting culturally diverse World Empire which Alexander inherited by force.

And three hundred years after Alexander, the holy Sassanian empire brought harmony, science, music and great military weapons and architectural inventions to the world.  And kept the savage tribes at bay to the end; even the Romans were thankful of this service and paid Iran for their work!

In fact if it had not been for the Greeks, perhaps the Roman’s would not have inherited slavery and savagery.

The history of Alexander is enough for any one to learn how to be cruel and inhuman.

Without the Greeks, the Romans surely would have been better in their conduct. This includes other successive Western empires and leaders.

In Iran it had not been a realization that the earth goes around the sun; it had been a known fact.  And it was the West and its established religion that denied the fact and persecuted anyone who thought otherwise.!

The Greek cities, which is if one can describe them as cities (since they resembled villages), were too involved in everyday life, such as shelter, food, self-protection and survival to be involved in matters of Architecture, and Mathematics, etc.

Herodot is now rightly known as the liar of history and not it’s father.

The father of all liars in fact is  Herodotus’ and the Greeks,  Who out of jealousy associate everything of greatness, of culture and of civilization to themselves.

It is with no wonder that today’s Macedonia is in a cultural war with Greece over its past history.  The Greeks on their part are  fearful that with Macedonia on the world map, and it’s recognition by the United Nations, their long, claim over Alexander being Greek, and the Macedonian language being Greek is coming to an end.  And with it their big lie, and self-delusion.

All liars are  found out eventually, and they must be held responsible for falsehood and stealing a nation's history, namely Macedonia in connection with Alexander and more in general the stealing of other national characters, discoveries, history, culture, etc.

The latter is unforgivable for  they’ have done great injustice, in wrongly misleading generations and educating the West to a false past and heritage that is mostly non existent and a myth.   It could be argued that Greeks didn’t do this, at least not alone - but they definitely agreed to perpetuate the lies.

The sooner the World especially the West is told the truth and educated to the ancient history of the world and what part, (if any) the Greeks played,  the better the future of the West will be and the world in general.

For no longer will they have the right or justification in treating the rest of the world as  Third World’,  Barbarian’,  Uneducated’,  Uncivilized’.

In fact it was such attitudes passed down by the Greeks in which the world experienced the genocide of more than fifty million Red Indians by the Western countries namely Spain and Britain and the  mass slavery of Africa and India, from Alexander  the Cursed’ to recent times.

Savagery, guised in religion, such as Islam or in civilization and culture, such as Greece is more damaging and harmful to humankind than savage tribes who do not guise their savagery and do not go into  elaborate arguments for its justification, for reasons of God or civilization.



 One of the greatest men the human race has produced” (inside cover)

 ......his influence in the development of the world”

 Alexander’s personality were several features that would fit into the Aristotelian picture of the  great souled’ man. Thus he was extremely generous with his money lavishing it in all directions without regard to the quantity that was spent”

 ..such was the sheer force and drive of his will that there are almost Nietzschlian qualities about his personality.”   (Page 259)

Nietzschen qualities?

Friedrich Nietzche’s (8316 AZ=2403 IE=1844 AD - 8372 AZ=2459 IE=1900 AD) spiritual odyssey through the world, and his  doctrine of the superman’ and the  will to power’ were all based on his hero Zarathustra the prophet of Iran. As written in his great work  Thus Spoke Zarathustra” (8357 AZ=2444 IE=1885 AD).

In his own words:


 What constitutes the tremendous uniqueness of that Iranian in history.  Zarathustra was the first to see in the struggle between good and evil the actual wheel in the working of things: the translation of morality into the realm of metaphysics, as force, cause, end-in-itself, is his work.

........Not only has he had longer and greater experience here than any other thinker......what is more important is that Zarathustra is more truthful than any other thinker.  His teaching, and his alone, upholds truthfulness as the supreme virtue.......To tell the truth and to shoot well with arrows that is the Iranian virtue”

PRAISE OF GREECE AND HATRED TOWARDS IRAN AND IT’S PEOPLE BY WESTERN SCHOLARS



 For the Greek’s had a sophisticated style which carried Asia before it.  They brought new competition, objects of a new beauty, technical and rational innovation and a marvelously nuanced language that made men literate.  The Persians had invented nothing”.

 But the Greeks brought new siege artillery, new walls and ditches, wider irrigation the theatre, the games and literate poetry.  They first put howdahs on elephants...........

 They had a national rational geography, mathematics, a view of the heavens and men’s place in a regular world.”

 The Search for Alexander’

by Robin Lane Fox.


Such historians as W.W. Tarn  in his book  Alexander the Great’, regarded Alexander as a  military genius’ and a  political visionary’.

BRUTALITY OF ALEXANDER

The Macedonians were a people of primitive, backward community, both socially and politically.

Alexander was an absolute ruler and a dictator monarch.  Few kings if any had died of a natural death in Macedonia.

His actions at Thebes, Tyre and Gaza were savage and cruel beyond belief.  And his treacherous slaughter of the Indian mercenaries at Massaga unforgivable.  In fact his reign opened and closed with murders.  And he is to be judged a  Great’ and a good man.

The idea that he and his mission were divinely inspired and divinely protected were spread by Callisthenes (Aristotle’s nephew) for propaganda purposes.  Alexander himself never believed it as he constantly changed Gods and leadership titles.

 

ALEXANDER SELF PROCLAMATION OF GOD-HOOD

At Takht-e-Jamsheed he announced that he was not Philip's son, but of Dariush; many stories have been written that he also stated he was the son of Zeus the Greek God, and many other ridiculous ideas came about in his drunken unbalanced state.

But one thing is certain and of importance: he denounced his father and his Macedonian roots.

For Athens Alexander had sent a command that he be proclaimed formally as God  Son of Zeus Ammon’.

The Greeks naturally refused this and stated that they would never see glory for themselves because Alexander only sought glory for himself. And for no other cause.

For he was an autocratic megalomaniac, and a bisexual profligate.

Or the fanciful idea that he followed in the footsteps of Hercules and Dionysus who were imaginary God/heros of the Greeks has no significance or root in world affairs or history.

The entire Iranian Empire had been mapped, and the customs of it people recorded, including neighbouring countries such as India, and China.  The seas had been discovered with all the Known lands.  Therefore Alexander was no discoverer of new lands or seas, or people.  Unless we view this from the perspective of the Greek/Macedonians who knew little about the Great world and those countries away from their small borders.

Alexander's glory was purchased at the cost of millions dead and maimed.  He brought both hardships to his own country Macedonia and all the rest of the world.

His way was of pure conquest.  There are no indications in history that he wished for more.  He had no interest in governing or in the welfare of his subjects.

The Iranian system of government was taken over completely by Alexander.

He continued to rule from the seat of Dariush, and throughout his reign he made no attempt to change the basis of his rule.

The Iranian nobility, refused to accept Alexander, and  the Greeks hated him.  Alexander's attitudes was simple towards the Greeks.  They were part of his domain and where they could be held down by means of force and the imposition of pro-Macedonian governments, these were used.

Even Thessaly, for a long time the stronghold of Macedonian influence in Greece, rose in revolt at the king’s death. And when the Greeks faced great food shortage during the years 330-326 BC Alexander or his administration did not help to ease the shortage.

He had no economic policy.  The prices of food, clothing and housing rose steeply, without any rise on wages; Thus, the masses were hard hit.  After Alexander's death the gap between rich and poor also increased drastically.

 

SPREAD OF HELLENISM AND ATHLETIC GAMES

In Egypt it is stated by some that he held athletic contests, this can only reasonably be attributed to the mundane desire to provide relaxation for his troops as he had already done at Soli in Cilicia, than to any idea of paving the way for the introduction of Greek culture.  What other form of entertainment could he have been expected to provide? Sport was not the invention or sole use of the Greeks,  since Sporting activities and games had been in practice in the Iranian Empire long before anyone lived in Greece.

Iran has a recorded history of more than ten thousand years with its great prophet dating back to eight thousand four hundred and seventy years ago.



 Alexander accomplished greater deeds than any, not only of the kings who had lived before him but also of those who where to come later down to our time.”

 The most charismatic and heroic king of all times”.

 He had adopted new tactics and created innovative forms of warfare”.


 Alexander the Great’

One wonders about these so called Alexander  scholars’ and their source of education and limited knowledge.  They seem to be void of world history especially the history of countries that Alexander conquered.

Perhaps ignorance plays an important part in their argument, for assuming that the Greeks or in this case especially Alexander was the originator of inventions and tactics of warfare.  They can only attribute to the uneducated the status of  Great’ to Alexander.

Destroying prior sources of information or disregarding them; one can even today claim great deeds.

However as once stated,  the bigger the lie the easier it is to believe”.  And it is this idea that the Greeks have used down the ages with the support of  scholars’, that puts to shame decent intellectuals and educated men of history.

The Greeks on the other hand, one feels slightly sorry for, as for any nation to be empty of great historical characters, for it to need to invent and fabricate a leader of another country as it’s own,  and in the process to make a man of evil,  great’ and a  heroic’ figure.

When Alexander first entered the Indus Valley, he thought that the river was the upper Nile, and that it flowed through a great desert before reaching upper Egypt. Just as he had thought the Jaxrtes to be the upper Tanais.

The sheer stupidity and ignorance of geography shows both his  greatness’ and the  skill” of the Greeks who advised him on his route.

Unfounded admiration for Alexander is shameful, and degrading and his achievements, imaginary.

The Western understanding of history in regard to Alexander lacks humanity, and exemplifies an outright racist attitude.

For Alexander possessing Greek troops, in no way shows a Greek power or a cause since the Greeks were mainly mercenary and only had one cause worth fighting for which was always money.  The army of Dariush also consisted of Greeks;  I see no one suggesting that Dariush fought for the spread of Hellenism! .

 

STORIES ABOUT ALEXANDER

Greeks invented stories ranging from the Queen of the Amazons (Caspian region) bedding with Alexander for thirteen nights in the hope of having a child, to the claim that he conquered unknown lands-unknown to whom?  And he certainly did not increase the borders of the Iranian Empire, except the inclusion of Greece.  His empire or power did not surpass that of Iran.

He was calculating and cold blooded in his use of severe methods throughout his career whether in Greece, or in the Iranian empire.

He had no concern for his country or troops.

 

ALEXANDER, MURDERER OF HIS OWN FRIENDS

In his own surroundings and rank he also had opposition.  He killed Philotas (murdered at Fara in 6142 AZ=229 IE=330 BC) for high treason and his father Parmenio (murdered at Hamadan aged seventy by Alexander).

And then even his own brother Cleitus, for suggesting that every man who had helped him such as Philip, Attalus, Parmenion, had been murdered by him.

Callisthenes, Alexander’s official chosen historian wrote of his despotism and was later executed in (Aria) Iran by Alexander.  And the official version withdrawn.

Is this Alexander the Great, God, Hero, Champion of Western ideals?

And in his own short span of life, who did he leave his spoils to?  To the strongest” he proclaimed.

The law of the jungle and the rule of animals followed him to his death.

 

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO  THE RELIGION OF GREECE?

What has happened to the great Gods of Greece, who worships them today?  Even the Romans did not follow Greek Gods, they choose Mithra the Iranian God and religion.  Why has Greece not produced those so-called Great thinkers and Philosophers and Mathematicians of the Hakhamanian Period?

 

IRANIAN GREATNESS

Yet Iran has till today proclaimed great geniuses and thinkers and Mathematicians, Physicians and Architects under the most unsuitable conditions.

Why has nothing been mentioned of the Great books stolen and translated into Greek and attributed to the Greeks?

Why has Greece or Macedonia not produced any more so-called Great men?  Could it be that Greece has not been able to loot a Great Nation’s wealth and treasures and Knowledge to call it its own?

 

HOMOSEXUALITY OF ALEXANDER

It was well known that he was homosexual and had many lovers such as Hephaistion who is said to have been his favourite.

Now maybe in 8470 AZ=2557 IE=1998 AD in United Kingdom there is not much read into this, but back than more than two thousand years ago a homosexual was in that part of the world an abomination to God.

Naturally if Western historians wish to continue considering Alexander as Great, then  Adolf Hitler’ must have been the Greatest of them all, since unlike Alexander his heritage did not lie in murder.  His father did not have several wives, he was not a homosexual nor a bastard.  For coming to power he did not need to murder his father, and was elected to leader by the vote of the people. Unlike Alexander.  The first country he confronted, he was seen as a liberator (ie. Austria) unlike Alexander who murdered thousands to enter into Greece.

In fact he was a vegetarian,  did not drink or smoke and in coming to power rebuilt Germany and died in his own country defending his capital.

Alexander being  Great’ needs to be justified, and a description of his  Greatness’ given.  Not propaganda stories written by dubious characters who wrote for money and their lives, and not for historical record or correctness.  I suggest an in-depth review is needed, and the courage to tell the truth.  Repeating a lie, a thousand times, does not make a truth.

 

ALEXANDER’S NAME

Alexander’s name is known throughout the old world, from Libya to China as  The Cursed’, who urged on by an evil spirit brought havoc, destruction and slaughter into Iran, burned Takht-e-Jamsheed and the Zarathushtrian scriptures.......... and finally, self-destroyed, fled to hell where he belonged.

 

HISTORICAL SOURCES & GREEK AUTHORS

It should be noted that many works on Alexander such as the acclaimed Arrian,  The Campaigns of Alexander’ wrote his story over four hundred years after Alexander’s death.  And the rest, cannot even name the correct site for the battle of Alexander and Dariush.

Alexander's Diary and letters are both said to be  Hellenistic forgeries.

And the sources to which they choose to glorify Alexander’s role, are all entirely not from Alexander’s period.

Diodorus, from Agyrium in Sicily wrote almost three hundred years after Alexander death.  Flarius Arrianus commonly known as Arrian from the Roman province of Bithynia wrote his history four hundred years later.  Junianus Justinus commonly known as Justin wrote about Alexander five hundred years after.  Plutarch from Chaeronia in Boetia more than five hundred years later.

And many more who should be noted did in fact state, such as Plutarch, that his account of the life of Alexander is not a work of history.

Not surprisingly, they disagree with the location of battles, cities named or the number founded and outright contradictions to his personality.  For example the number given for the infantry of Dariush ranges from two hundred thousand from Curtius Rufus to Arrian’s one million.

All the above authors are also Greek without exception.  The mortal enemies of ancient Iran.

All the modern scholars sources are one sided and from the enemy camp or from the aggressors perspective.

 

REASON FOR SUPPORT OF ALEXANDER BY THE WEST & THE ARABS

It is no wonder that Alexander in the past was revered by Western leaders and the Arab hordes.

For the Western leaders, namely the Romans who were at war with Iran for more than four hundred years, were unable to defeat their enemy and naturally since none of their  successive leaders could break the might of the Iranian Empire,  they saw and made a hero out of Alexander for destroying the Iranian Empire, which they wished to do.

Before them, of course, the Greeks championed him as their own, since their country and culture was always inferior to that of other neighbouring countries, and especially the Iranian Empire.

And most importantly they really had no historical leaders or Empire to speak of, apart from fictitious stories of heroes and Gods.

As they were to write the books, instead of the Macedonians, they cleverly thought to make Alexander the Macedonian, Greek.   Although in their own version of history he is portrayed, contradictorily as the promoter of Greek civilization, since the moment he entered the Iranian Empire he sought its customs and the adoption of Iranian culture.  The superiority of the Greek civilization seems to have quickly evaporated, if at all it existed with Alexander.

The Greeks wished to equate him with a purpose, namely the cause of Greek civilization, which Alexander never showed any interest, let alone work in the cause of Hellenism or the spread of it.

 

ZUL CARNEIN ( two-horned prophet”) IN THE KORAN

The latter being the mentioning of Alexander in the book of the Arabs, the Koran.  He is mentioned as a prophet, and a great person, forerunner to Muhammad,(Muslim commentators have identified Alexander as the  two-horned prophet”, the Muslim historian, Mohammed ben Jareer Tabari identifies Alexander with the prophet for all people, the hero in the Koran.) and the first Muslim?  This was clearly a political and a sociological reason for the Arab masses.  The world viewpoint especially  among the uncivilized, uneducated Arabs was that the Iranian Empire from the beginning of creation had been in power and no power earthly could possibly destroy it.  Especially as the might of the Romans had failed.

Mentioning and reminding the Arabs of Alexander was to play a major role in convincing the Arab masses that the Iranian Empire was not invincible and could be conquered and destroyed.

In that endeavour they were successful.  And in fact followed in the footsteps of Alexander, in bringing death and destruction. 

Interestingly both conquered for their Gods, as we are led to believe.  Yet the only thing that motivated their armies to go further was Gold, Silver, Women, the property of others and land to propagate their warped idea  of civilisation, religion, and nonexistent culture.  In all three they lacked and in fact as history testifies they were against all three.

 

NO-LEGACY

Alexander left no legacy.  There is no trace of Alexander in Iran.  Yet the names of the Kings of Iran are still remembered with veneration and admiration and respect.

 

THE WEST

Alexander’s drunkenness, his lack of self-control erupting into murderous violence, having a harem of three hundred and sixty five concubines, setting fire to cities and palaces...............

Is the West so empty of historical roots and great leaders that it needs to fabricate history and attribute to Alexander the  characteristics of  philosopher in arms’,  God King’,  Noble King’,  Hero’,  Great virtues’,  Champion of Hellenism’,  Divine aspirations’.   These Qualities of Alexander are nonexistent.
