Ignorance of history is nothing new. Worst, filmmakers that deride a GREAT CIVILIZATION only because of the current Islamo-Fascist regime in Iran, show their ignorance and seem not to realize that the Islamic regime is the exact opposite of the Persian empire.
Xerxes was a heroic figure, and so were Cyrus and Dariush. Doesn’t Mr. Miller know that it was Cyrus, NOT Alexander, who freed the Jews from slavery in Babylon and that the Persians NEVER enslaved conquered peoples?
Doesn’t he know that Cyrus issued the first Declaration of Human Rights?
Whenever they went, the Greeks enslaved and tyrannized peoples.
If you need to know more, just ask our Jewish friends, who are well aware of how humane the Persians were.
Also, let us not forget that the Persians fought the Islamic invasion, and the female warriors were among the main fighters.
As a non-Iranian who loves the Persian culture and civilization, I join in boycotting this propaganda movie.
Long Live Iran
Down with the Islamic Republic.
No to the violation of Iran’s Territorial Integrity.
