you're welcome you're welcome i'm glad you liked the changes i don't know much about the subject but an expert has said he would look at the article this weekend so hopefully that will bring more insight to the article it's a bit complicated because the topic includes various ancient empires the persian people persia and then iran which is a nation that has not existed for very long as it is presently defined so for example timur seems to hve been very brutal as you state and yet adopted some persian customs so did slavery under his reign mean there was slavery in iran or was this an example of the enslavement of iran i don't know cheers thank you for your comment
