Talk:Persepolis

message: The "unfinished" persepolis insert refers to four videos which are essentially anti-semitic rants of a person with no credibility.  It says that Iranians were all massacred by Jews during the Purim and no body lived in Iran after the reign of Xerxes.  This is obviously rubbish and I am removing it.  Also Persepolis was not built during the time of cyrus, it was built during the reign of Darius and Xerxes  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeusAhrimanus (talk • contribs) 23:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The article was formerly mixed usage, recently changed to BC. This is a pre-Christian subject and I believe it should use BCE and CE. Please share your thoughts. Editor2020 (talk) 22:28, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

text: The earliest version [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persepolis&oldid=334043 back in 2002) was BC, and per WP:ERA it should remain so, unless consensus here is different, which after 4 years isn't happening. Johnbod (talk) 02:26, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confusing part on US inscriptions 

message: The contributor to state this kind of ferocity is historically right. It is stated in ebraic text of jewish religion. The rivalry between the islamic republic and israel (covered by the presidents and political men of USA) in our time (after the islamic take over of 1979) is the remarkable remainder of what happened that long time ago. In iran nowdays there still some 20.000 jews mainly in good economic condition as like as bazaar ruler, bank & industry managers, even high funcionaries of the leading political or military rulers. U know well Iran that I visited 4 times with 15 days visa each. The govern of israel promise 50.000 $ for each one to transfer to holy land. To my knoledge (from a pssaran source) no one or very few accepted the israeli offer. Thanks Putojudio (talk) 18:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Msssacre of persians by the jews 

message: Here and at García de Silva Figueroa's own page, it is stated that he "was the first Western traveler to link the site known in Iran as "Chehel Minar" as the site known from Classical authors as Persepolis". That seems to be wrong based on the other content already here.
I get that this is apparently blindly repeating the words of its source. I get that Odoric and Barbaro might not've actually known where they were. However, Hakluyt's account of "The fift voiage into Persia made by M. Thomas Banister, and master Geofrey Ducket, Agents for the Moscouie companie, began from England in the yeere 1568, and continuing to the yeere 1574 following. Written by P. I. from the mouth of M. Lionel Plumtree"inexplicably misrepresented and left vague as "an English merchant" herewas either wrong (which should be noted) or had already identified the correct ruins as those of ancient Persepolis. The fact that they didn't use the name "Chehel Minar" has no bearing on the issue.
He may have been the first to transcribe the local Persian name into a modern European language, but that's an entirely different (and lesser) thing than having already correctly identified the ruins as those of Persepolis. — LlywelynII 18:22, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
