ALEXANDER THE CURSED BY FRAYDON ARYAN


IRANIAN CONTRIBUTION


 The laws of the Medes and Persians never change, they are applied equally, whether the offender was a Prince or a pauper.”



Before the abolition of slavery, more than two thousand years before, Kourash the Great had opposed slavery and had, abolished slavery in his world empire.

Before the Magna Carta charter and human rights declaration of United Nations,  two thousand five hundred years ago Iran had declared universal human rights.

Freedom of religion two thousand five hundred years ago in the Iranian Empire, when even today we still have countries in which the practice of one’s religion is punishable by death.  Such as Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, to name a few.

And the so-called Greek civilization or Hellenism, was in that period of history deeply involved in institutional slavery.  And took no part in freedom of nations or its own inhabitants; slavery for them was part of Greek culture. !

The contribution of the  Hakhamanish empire of Iran to civilization is endless.  And the gains that the world has attained because of it.

And it should not be forgotten that it was this Evil, that we now know as Alexander, was responsible in ending one of the Greatest world empires that all the world can be proud, of unlike many of our recent past.


Greatness of Iran, greatness of all time,

Iran shall always remain in our minds.

Poem on Alexander by Fraydon A.


INVENTION & ACHIEVEMENTS OF IRAN

To name a few inventions of the Iranians, and contribution to man kind:



 Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), the king of Macedonia that conquered the Persian Empire and annexed it to Macedonia, is one of the greatest military geniuses of all times.   He is the first king to be called  the Great”.”


 Alexander the Great’,

InterNet/Spidey/1998.


Wrong in all accounts, the first king to be called Great by his people and the world was Kourash king of Iran who lived two hundred years before Alexander.

Alexander was never considered  Great’ by the Iranians.

And as for him being the  greatest military geniuses of all times,” is false since before him and after him there have been conquerors who have out done him in both conquest and military battles.

To name a few Shahanshah Kourash and Dariush the Great, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Shapur Shah the Great, Genigis Khan, Saladin, Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Nadir Shah Afshar the Great etc.

To credit a few western historians such as  Brian Walden’ who had a series on BBC2 entitled  Walden on Heros’ he summarised in his own view Alexander:  He’s the kind of hero that  humanity can well do without”.

These are also my sentiments and I hope yours too.  For the Iranian Zarathustrians, Alexander was a devil and the cursed foreigner who could not see unity of brother nations at peace with prosperity, riches and wealth, knowledge and humanity.

Blatant flattery for a man by authors that he does not deserve, or is not worthy of.

It is also very surprising that without any investigation the Western intellectuals have taken hold of Greek books that contain downright error.

They could not even get right the location of the decisive battle against Dariush, they did not know which men had saved Alexander life in India.  And contradictory statements concerning the actions of Alexander.

Spread of Greek culture throughout Asia is nonexistent, so obviously he couldn’t have been successful in that endeavour.  Alexander perhaps believed himself to be the son of Zeus, and naturally since no one else believed this (except, perhaps a few Western historians) he must have worshipped himself.

The mark of Greatness is that when one takes control of power or is placed in such a position he does not lose sight of himself, and stays the same and modest.  Unlike Alexander who thought by then that he was God and had proclaimed all to announce this.

He indeed had no morals and showed no-good examples for the people to follow.  His footsteps left behind death and destruction, he was cursed wherever he went.  And to the end even by his own men.  He had no meaningful purpose, no one benefited from his conquest.  His own country and his immediate family saw nothing from him.  All of them were in fact murdered.

Story telling is well and fanciful, but reality is much more enlightening and interesting and educational.

We need to look at the deeds of people and then decide if they are worthy of the title  Great”.

If humanity is to take a righteous path and if we wish to see a better world, and future, we need role models that people would copy and do even better than they did.

Steps taken in revealing peoples views towards Alexander, are commended in putting into context this vile and evil man of history.  For he belongs in the darkest pages of world history.  Next to evil men such as Zahhak, Omar, and Khomenie.

After Alexander’s death, his territorial conquests including Greece, lost their independence and were absorbed into the successor kingdoms.

Willful destruction of religious relics was approved and officially encouraged under Alexander.

 

MYTH INTO HISTORY

The ancient Greece investigated by scholars was a legendary one.   However, Greeks searching for a  national identity during their struggle against the Evil Turkish Empire were actually aware of the symbolic power of their mythical past.

The Greek war of independence in 8293 AZ=2380 IE=1821 AD  and its state in 8300 AZ=2387 IE=1828 AD only included Thessaly and Epiros.

A necessary renewal of identity, and its romanticized past which had attracted European powers for its support,  not to mention the reuse of classical masonry for their construction of various temples and palaces and buildings in Greece.

Expression of Greek superiority is Aristotle’s verdict in  The Politics’ that:



 Hunting ought to be practiced not only against wild animals, but also against human beings who are intended by nature to be ruled by others and refuse to obey that intention because war of this order is naturally just.”



Yes this is Greek virtue, morality and great thinkers thought on the treatment of humanity.

Indiscriminate Evil, Unthinkable savagery, Ruins and destruction were his testimony and his legacy.

 

PERSIAN CUSTOMS ADOPTED BY ALEXANDER

And the evidence for this is in him wearing of Iranian clothes and adoption of Iranian habits.  This is no sign of him wanting unity between the Iranian and the Macedonian, but merely an act of an uncivilized person being confronted by a superior civilized nation and wishing to become part of the latter and emulate their customs.

He simply was overwhelmed and fell in a spell over everything Iranian.  And since he now had the power to acquire it, he choose to associate himself with the luxury and splendour of the Iranians.  The Iranian way of life was more attractive to the Macedonians than what they had come across before, especially that of the Greeks.

Alexander has even been called  the Greatest city builder of all time”, by the likes of W.W. Tarn  in his book  Alexander the Great’, in 1948 Cambridge.

There is no evidence to the foundations of these cities and hardly none have remained or have had a lasting effect on the countries. None of these sites can be named or found in Iran.  And their cultural influence is purely imaginary.

And on Alexander’s death in Greece, a leading Athenian politician stated  the whole world would stink of his corpse”.  The Greek states formed a coalition to shake off the hated Macedonian domination.

Alexander died without designating a successor, and soon after all the Susa marriages were dissolved.  The next two years after his death were of bloody struggle for power and the dismemberment of the Iranian empire.  This period is well known as the age of anarchy.

All the leading personalities of Alexander’s reign came to a violent and bloody end.

Alexander’s evil mother Olympias, seized control of both Macedonia and Arrhidaeus for a brief while after Antipater’s death.  After murdering and beginning a reign of terror against the supporters of Antipater, she was herself put to death by Antipater’s ruthless son, Cassander.

With the extermination of the kings, the Argead dynasty came to an end and there was no descendant of Alexander left to lay claim to the sole rule of the empire.

 

UNITY OF MEN

He has also been praised unnecessarily  regarding his ideas and intentions for his stolen empire, namely the fusion of races and the concept of the  brotherhood of man’.

It also should be noted here that his policy of fusion i.e. the much talked about  unity of mankind’ or  brotherhood of men’, that he only mentioned the unity of  Persians and Macedonians’, not Egyptian, Babylonians, Indians, Lycians and especially not the Greeks!

Alexander must have known the superiority of the Iranians over the Greeks since he chooses their culture, customs dress and men to govern his new found empire.  He used Iranians in his army and in the  running of the Satraps (i.e. Iranian Provinces).

Archaeology has revealed no trace of Alexander’s presence East of Takht-e-Jamsheed.



 Across two centuries, the Persians had not been inventive rulers”

 The Persians themselves had no literature and did not use their own language for everyday government......

The technical arts-architecture medicine, sailing, and warfare-were all staffed by foreign experts...”

page 121

 Darius III, was of lesser royal descent..........Like other Persian kings, he was child of a brother-sister marriage and had married his sister.  The mental effects of this are still uncertain.”

Page 123.

 King kept Greek doctors.  They had Greek prophets and soothsayers, poets, artists, soldiers and physical trainers.  They had had some notorious Greek mistresses....”

Page 130.

 But at Susa, as at Babylon, the Persians were only occupiers, and Alexander rooted them out.”

 The Search for Alexander”,

Robin Lane Fox.


One does not need to say much on this account since only a fool could possibly come up with such overwhelming nonsense.


 Considering the tremendous role, which the Aryan man has played in world history, how unfamiliar to us (his Western descendants) are his origins and the cradle of his race.  Hebrew, Greek, and Roman civilisations are absorbed more or less by Western man with his mother’s milk; the vast Iranian panorama in which his ancestors arose and flourished seems as remote to the majority as the moon.”


J.H. Iliffe, Director of the City of Liverpool Museums

 

 

GREATNESS OF IRAN

I suggest for all Lovers of Iran, and its true culture and religion if they can get hold of the 8443 AZ=2530 IE=1971 AD Celebrations to watch and see the greatness that was Iran until 8451 AZ=2538 IE=1979 AD and the pride that the King and cultured people of Iran felt and showed towards their glorious historical heritage.  Iran was considered the most developed, cultured, civilized and progressive country in the Middle East. And it was the richest, and strongest country both militarily and culturally before once more the onslaught of foreign influence and occupation.  Since Iran has become leaderless and lost its defender of history, culture and ancient religion.  Namely the late Great Pahlavi Shah-an-Shah Aryamehir (8413 AZ=2500 IE=1941 AD - 8451 AZ=2538 IE=1979 AD) of Iran.  Since the (8452 AZ=2539 IE)1980’s the enemies of Iran have been unopposed and free to write lies and totally biased historical views that portray only the Greek version of history, which is mainly fabricated and totally disregarding of the entire Iranian Empire that consisted of more than twenty countries of today.

However, long ago an event might have occurred, it is still as important to speak the truth, and confront those who wish to glorify historical characters who belong in the darkest hour of human history.

Iran and its noble race, and religion is still alive, and by the force of AhuraMazda shall arise again from the ashes like the Phoenix as it has done so many times in its glorious history.


 

Kshnaothra Ahurahe Mazdao,

Long live the faith and the land of the Aryans, IRAN.

Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds.
