    @alexdelvecchio18794 years ago I like how rome and persia are duking it out for 700 years, and then the caliphate comes out of the middle of nowhere and that' s that. 1001

This is why armenians consider themselves both carriers of roman (european) and persian (middle eastern) heritage. ...Expand 51

    @HoneyMad_History2 years ago Bad video, too many mistakes, for example:
    1) the state of hatra was created in the 2nd century ad, not in the 2nd century bc
    2) the seleucids 3) characene didn' t control seleucia on the tigris, or ctesiphon (with the exception of 127 bc)
    4) armenia and sophena were part of the seleucid empire in 200-189 bc.
    5) the frataraka k' dom never existed, because the frataraks were the governors of persia under the seleucids and parthians
    6) the parthians captured parthia itself only in 235 bc, before that the seleucid governor ruled there for 12 years
    7) the corduane is not shown at all
    8) since 387, for some reason, the sassanids have controlled the important fortress of dura-europos, although they did not control it
    9) the lakhmids became vassals of the sassanids since the beginning of the 4th century after shapur ii' s campaign against the arabs, it is shown here that they became vassals only in the 6th century
    10) the lakhmids were part of persia since 602 and lost their independence
    these are only the most noticeable mistakes, in fact there are many more

    4)224-651 sassanid iranshahrwasnt much matter but the sassanids themselves were more persians)
    *all of this empires according to iranians ancient holy book avesta (concept of irano vich or iranian homeland)had two parts:
    1. Iran (land of aryans)as national and cultural part.
    2. Aniran(land of none aryan people)as none national and none cultural part.
    *sassanids named and called whole of their empire iranshahr as political concept not just cultural and national concept like before and limited to only one part of two parts of the empire but included the whole empire as dynasty and empire
