It's a religion that moves with the times and is not stuck in some ancient thought process. What is accepted now may not have been 2000 years ago, and thus adjustments are made to advance one's acceptance, so long as this process is not used to hurt others or gain self benefits...
Thank you. As an Iranian living in exile, in Europe, I thank you for making this unbiased and really fine show. We, the people of the world, need to learn about each other, not by negative news on media, but by reading books, or by traveling, or at least by watching such documentaries. Peace be upon all who are present here.
I am Iranian living in Tehran, as my responsibility as human and as a Iranian I must tell you , we don't want war , Iranians love cooking and making music not war with USA not Saudi not others,we don't want war please tell your people that Iranians asking you to help us to not go to any war .we want peace and love with all humanity . Much luv from IRAN,
My advice to you then! Over throw the ayatollah.because the US govt is trying to force trump hand to attack.he didn't want war either he is using peace thru strength to show ayatollah we will over throw him.but like Reagan said its up to the the Iranian people.
My Brother, may I ask you a question? Do you feel your nation was better off under the Shahs. The Shah of Iran in the 70s. While conservative extremist may have felt Iran was becoming too westernized, surely many aspects of this were better than what Iran has endured now, through the Ayatollahs? I'm not American My Brother, I'm just curious. Peace Be With You. My Best. Out.
@A R : What you need to do My Brother, is learn how the U.S. uses and manipulates other nations and peoples and use that against them. Killing Americans only, makes martyrs out of them, and actually, only, makes them stronger. The average, American is brainwashed by their leadership and greedy, souless, capitalist who will do anything to profit off of the misery of others. Your best strategy is to learn to be SMARTER THAN THEM! OK? Peace Be With You. My Best. Out.
Out of all my fellow Australians, David Adams is one I have a great deal of time for. I love his documentaries. He is the presenter but it never feels about him, it's always about what he is presenting.
During my last visit to Persepolis in February 2002 I was fortunate enough to have the whole site and the kings of kings tombs to myself. Esfahan to this day remains one of my most emotional place in Iran, possibly with the towers of silence in Yazd. Can’t wait returning together with my wife to show her the beauties of the land and experience the hospitality of its people.
As an Iranian it is very nice to see so many positive comments. A wonderful documentary, shows lots of interesting places, although it is about twenty years old! Since then you would find lots of big cities like Tehran and Isfahan getting more and more modernized, but that cultural and historic roots remain for ever! It is a pity this country and its warm and kind people are being destroyed by the authoritarian regime.
It is really sad. Every time I see some kind of protest movement, I always have hope that the people will be able to gain freedom for themselves. It's such a beautiful place with a rich history and unique culture. I always hope that I'll be able to visit it some day.
Thank you David Adams. I hope everyone will watch this documentary and appreciate the wonderful people and country of Iran. I too wish for the people of Iran a peaceful future.
I visited Iran in 2008. Started in the south Bandar Abbas and by train and bus made our way up to Kandovan stopping at many places. Every where we went, in every city. the people were wonderful. Inviting us in to their homes, taking us places we would not have seen otherwise. Nearly 4 weeks of joy. Thank you to all the Iranians, such kind, considerate and gentle people to outsiders. Would love to return
We real Iranians love everybody, especially strangers. We love all people of the world regardless of who they are and where they have come from. It is the fundamental Islamists who unfortunately have political power in Iran and they are very hateful toward all non-Muslims and even the Muslims who do not have the same beliefs as they do! The regime in Iran is one of the ugliest dictatorships in the last 400 years!

I am a Zoroastrian living in Mumbai, India. Ihave been to Chak Chak (which means dripping water), also called Pir-e-Sabz. I have been here twice and on one of the trips our group stayed here overnight. All around there is desert, but here there is an almond tree(you must have seen it) which is fed by a perennial stream of water. On 14th June every year Zarathotis of Iran make a pilgrimage there. There is enough water for the hordes of people.
I am Indian and I have met lot of Iranian students in my city Pune in Western India. All Iranian students are cultured and well mannered. I will love to visit Iran some day. In India, biggest industrialists Tata, Godrej, Poonawala, Field Marshall Manekshaw etc. are Zorastrians.
Such a Beautiful Country, and the People are very caring, and seem so genuine. Love to the People of IRAN. Thank you for this video, very informative and interesting.
I enjoy watching David's documentaries on old cultures and countries. He does justice to the people and places in the way he presents it unlike others who twists facts and put their own take on it rather then seeing it for what it is and why it is the way it is.
Thank you David. You covered a lot of historical places and introduction of lranian culture, A nostalgic experience for me. You even went to tea shop l went to and smoked hookah. YOu showed my. town lsfahan. Beautiful. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see, one of the oldest of history and culture known to planet earth.
Hinduism is the oldest religion and Indus valley civilisation is the oldest civilisation in the world.But Hinduism is not Islam,It is a way of life and very accepting religion.Respect to my Zoroastrian friends and I have done a little bit of research to know that this religion has a Hinduism connection like fire worship n temples n other rituals.You may google for more but western media doesn’t always show the truth.

I used to deliver to a man here in South Carolina who left Iran with his family during or before the revolution. He was a very friendly man and very welcoming. Even more than some of my own fellow Americans. This was one of my first real taste of realizing that normal people no matter where they come from are just normal people and politics ruins the world!
I’m half Persian and half Caucasian! Iran 🇮🇷 is full of beautiful people! People who are full of culture, deep roots, and rich in so many ways, Peace in the Middle East.
Caucuses are mountains. There is no caucasian.You are half Persian and the other half is what? Perhaps European? I'm Somali African I don't call my self Kilimanjaroean. Kilimanjaro is a beautiful mountain located in Tanzania.
Persians would be classified in most cases as Caucasian themselves. As others said this is an outdated term. White people come from Europe, not the Caucasus Mountains. So you could more accurately say you are half Persian, half European.

No matter what ups and down Iran goes through currently, Persia and Persians have a magnificence and a dignity coming from their thousands of years of history. My deepest respect to Iran and Persia! You have enriched the world for thousands of years, and continue to do so!
When I was a young girl, I remember being mesmerized by a book on the people of the U.S.S.R. & wondered why we hated each other when we were just normal people going about our day to day routines. When I grew up I learned about Politics & the effects they have on countries hating each other! Such a Shame!
when i visited iran a few years back, it was amazing there were virtually no tourists, i felt as if i had the whole country to myself, locals were incredibly hospitable , a trip i will never forget
It's a very old video about 20 years ago, Iran's structure have been chenged a lot and now is more beautiful then before, but it's culture is very strong
@@BamaSquirrel even in other countries throughout the world. The capitalists, the imperialists, by aggression and deceit, deracinated the local culture, religion, heritage and ruined the world.
Very true. Other wise people only wars, conflicts, killings. But yet the truth is hidden about how beautiful and genuine and very friendly people are. A very good documentary indeed.
I’m an American, I’m extremely fascinated by Indo-Iranian people,culture, history, and folklore. I have been fortunate enough to meet people of Iranian origin in The U.S, our respective governments are deplorable for trying to sow the seeds of discord among the peoples
Such a lovely documentary ..at times giving goose bumps, travelling through the same route as Marco polo once did. The fire raging from 2500 years non stop! Unbelievable.
I love Iranian people and the history of this land every time amazing me,,, Thanks for further information for this land ,, I wish I had money and This Historical land visiting Who knows...one day Until then wish the best for the Iranian From Ethiopia!
Much love to the Iranian people I pray your country is at peace forever. I hope one day I can visit Iran, I have many Iranian friends in Canada and they are great people.
This was really good i felt like i was on the journey with him.. really would love to see this wonderful holy place one day.. Peace and Love to the beautiful folks of Iran From America ✌️
such a lovely documentary... thoroughly enjoyed it. i have been meaning to visit this beautiful country for some time now. it's a great country with incredible culture, spectacular places, amazing food and hospitable people.
Awesome camera man production. The pictures are mesmerizing. Thank you. Very imaginary, very creative. Your camera man seems to know where to put the camera, the play with light is incredible. Very professional very detail oriented. Awesome. I enjoyed it all no doubt.
Iran-regardless of its authoritarian governments before and after the Revolution-is a country filled with millions of the most hospitable, kind, clever(and downright SMART!) funny, and caring people. And it makes sense because Iran has labored and struggled so many authoritarian governments and rulers for centuries, they’ve learned that is the only way to survive the lives they lead.
Your words are true about Iranians, well said. I know who has always been behind the animosity, the unseen hidden instigator and financier of tyranny and war and rumors of war.
@KELLI2L2 I did wonder that as well. I bet it means something really bad if it went out. I just hope people don`t go snooping to see if it is gas and then ruin their land.

@@2chatons384 : And as I say My Brother, you can call this your Mother Religion, as it were. Why would any proud Iranian who wishes to see your ancient past preserved, not protect and support this religion. This religion was ancient when Christianity was just, beginning and Islam was not yet, a thought in anyone's mind. I'm old enough to remember when the Shah ruled Iran, and as I remember things, you had a much better and far more progressive nation then. Too progressive for some, it seems, which is why he was deposed. Not sure if you wish for a return of your Monarchy or not, but I so, hope your nation can return to those days again. I'm not American My Brother, so don't have the attitude toward the Middle East as many Americans seem to. Peace Be With You. My Best. Out.

Then I would completely accept you as a own ethnicity. But nothing like this exists and you know it very well. The british told you to call yourself kurds, a total mockup, just to destabilize our region. And you guys unfortunately agreed to betray your region, a SHAME!

Caucuses are mountains. There is no caucasian.You are half Persian and the other half is what? Perhaps European? I'm Somali African I don't call my self Kilimanjaroean. Kilimanjaro is a beautiful mountain located in Tanzania.
Persians would be classified in most cases as Caucasian themselves. As others said this is an outdated term. White people come from Europe, not the Caucasus Mountains. So you could more accurately say you are half Persian, half European.
Persians are Caucasians. Iran comesfrom the word Aryan.
Caucasoids is a rather large group, you're are 100%Caucasian
May peace be with the Iranian. Love from Vietnam.
thanks but there will be no peace in Iran with Islam and Islamic government !

No matter what ups and down Iran goes through currently, Persia and Persians have a magnificence and a dignity coming from their thousands of years of history. My deepest respect to Iran and Persia! You have enriched the world for thousands of years, and continue to do so!
Even without being there, my spirit was moved at the sight of the flames. What a magnificent experience that must have been for you.
Mine too. Had tears for some reason.
When I was a young girl, I remember being mesmerized by a book on the people of the U.S.S.R. & wondered why we hated each other when we were just normal people going about our day to day routines. When I grew up I learned about Politics & the effects they have on countries hating each other! Such a Shame!

when i visited iran a few years back, it was amazing there were virtually no tourists, i felt as if i had the whole country to myself, locals were incredibly hospitable , a trip i will never forget
An exquisitely beautiful country with such a wealth of history. I'd love to visit some day.
you will have the trip of a lifetime, there is still something mystical about persia that has never left me after having visited
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦♥️🙏🏽 Peace Iran 🇮🇷
It's a very old video about 20 years ago, Iran's structure have been chenged a lot and now is more beautiful then before, but it's culture is very strong
That is awesome, the real culture of Cyrus instead of Islam will free the people and country

Love and peace to Iran from a real human in the USA.
Thank you for taking the time to make this beautiful film and show a beautiful picture of Iran and its people.
Very true.
Other wise people only wars, conflicts, killings.
But yet the truth is hidden about how
beautiful and genuine and very friendly people are.
A very good documentary indeed.
Love this an a welcome eye opener. My favorite part was after dinner they broke out the instruments and played. The "Waltsing Matilda" was classic.
All the 70's and 80's GM vehicles tell a tale of what once was between two countries.
invisible camera worker is excellent, brilliant photography
I’m an American, I’m extremely fascinated by Indo-Iranian people,culture, history, and folklore. I have been fortunate enough to meet people of Iranian origin in The U.S, our respective governments are deplorable for trying to sow the seeds of discord among the peoples
Who are the indo iranian people are you talking about
Those Iranians that their religion is hindussim are called ino Iranias😊@@pipipupu5104
Such a lovely documentary ..at times giving goose bumps, travelling through the same route as Marco polo once did. The fire raging from 2500 years non stop! Unbelievable.
I love Iranian people and the history of this land every time amazing me,,,
Thanks for further information for this land ,,
I wish I had money and
This Historical land visiting
Who knows...one day
Until then wish the best for the Iranian

such a lovely documentary... thoroughly enjoyed it. i have been meaning to visit this beautiful country for some time now. it's a great country with incredible culture, spectacular places, amazing food and hospitable people.
Awesome camera man production. The pictures are mesmerizing. Thank you. Very imaginary, very creative. Your camera man seems to know where to put the camera, the play with light is incredible. Very professional very detail oriented. Awesome. I enjoyed it all no doubt.
what wonderful messages of friendship and peace. Truly warms my heart.
Iran-regardless of its authoritarian governments before and after the Revolution-is a country filled with millions of the most hospitable, kind, clever(and downright SMART!) funny, and caring people.
And it makes sense because Iran has labored and struggled so many authoritarian governments and rulers for centuries, they’ve learned that is the only way to survive the lives they lead.
Your words are true about Iranians, well said.
I know who has always been behind the animosity, the unseen hidden instigator and financier of tyranny and war and rumors of war.
Iranians aren’t smart .... not with that tyrannical regime in place ... make a change !

Absolutely extraordinary access to the Eternal Flame. I can't believe what we saw!
@KELLI2L2 I did wonder that as well. I bet it means something really bad if it went out. I just hope people don`t go snooping to see if it is gas and then ruin their land.
@@Maliceuk : You know, I don't know a lot about this religion, but surely, it can't be worse than Islam. The more extreme aspects of it, anyway. Also, what better symbol for God than an Eternal Flame, anyway. Right?
My Best. Out.
@KELLI2L2 no of course it does. They never let is die. They feed the fire and have done so for more than 2000 years. Zoroastrianism is a great religion with a message of peace.
@@ivanj.conway9919 Nothing is worse than islam ( Full disclosure I was born in Iran in a muslim family) . Zoroastrians are very peaceful people. The message of the religion is light wins over darkness. Say good, do good, think good. We all hope that one day light will win over the darkness that has been hovering over Iran for more than 40 years.
@@2chatons384 : And as I say My Brother, you can call this your Mother Religion, as it were. Why would any proud Iranian who wishes to see your ancient past preserved, not protect and support this religion. This religion was ancient when Christianity was just, beginning and Islam was not yet, a thought in anyone's mind.
I'm old enough to remember when the Shah ruled Iran, and as I remember things, you had a much better and far more progressive nation then. Too progressive for some, it seems, which is why he was deposed. Not sure if you wish for a return of your Monarchy or not, but I so, hope your nation can return to those days again.
I'm not American My Brother, so don't have the attitude toward the Middle East as many Americans seem to.
Peace Be With You. My Best. Out.
The Iranians are our brothers and sisters....I'm Irish....

Thank you, but kurds are Persians, I don’t understand why you want to make differences between us in calling yourself kurdish. This just brings instability in our region and you see how many kurds hate the Persians/Iranians today. This is not right!

Massoud Barzany typical when someone have nothing to say. I am not surprised about that.
@@peterpeter3664 I do not entirely agree with your opinion, Koerd are not Persians, we are both of the Arie people and very close to each other, and what is your descent?
Massoud Barzany This is not correct. You should proof your claim in showing one antique leftover or something older than 300 - 400 years, where is something written on about kurds! Then I would completely accept you as a own ethnicity. But nothing like this exists and you know it very well. The british told you to call yourself kurds, a total mockup, just to destabilize our region. And you guys unfortunately agreed to betray your region, a SHAME!
Don’t tell me that you were Medians and etc, Elam and Media was the forefathers of the Persians/Iranians. Very well documented in world history. So where do you guys actually come from, when not from a brain of a british imperialist!
