Totally Unethical movie picture

Rating: 1/10 (7 March 2007)

According to all historical documents, this movie is fraudulent and distorted, and its broadcast guarantees the violation of undeniable international legal rights.
It is a proved scholarly fact that the Persian Empire in 480 B.C was the most magnificent and civilized empire. Established by the Cyrus the great, the writer of the first human right declaration, Persians ruled over significant portions of Greater Iran, the east modern Afghanistan and beyond into central Asia; in the north and west all of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), the upper Balkans peninsula (Thrace), and most of the Black Sea coastal regions; in the west and southwest the territories of modern Iraq, northern Saudi-Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, all significant population centers of ancient Egypt and as far west as portions of Libya. Having twenty nations under control, encompassing approximately 7.5 million square kilometers, unquestionably the Achaemenid Empire was territorially the largest empire of classical antiquity.
Based on the Zoroastrian doctrine, it was the strong emphasis on honesty and integrity that gave the ancient Persians credibility to rule the world, even in the eyes of the people belonging to the conquered nations (Herodotus, mid 5th century B.C). Truth for the sake of truth, was the universal motto and the very core of the Persian culture that was followed not only by the great kings, but even the ordinary Persians made it a point to adhere to this code of conduct.
I must add that the simple most obvious details that they could take care of in the movie, the clothing and their appearance of ancient Persians are totally counterfeit. Persians did not pierce their bodies. They were the first nation to introduce clothes that fit the body, invention of sleeves and trousers. They had very fare skin, long dark hair and green or light brown eyes as is still seen on the walls of Persepolis and paintings from that time. These are neglected because they knew that this appearance would give them a very warm, kind and humanitarian look.
