What, (woops) who are Zoroastrians? - by BBC

woops

People ask me, what is your belief system. I say Zoroastrianism, but not the Parsi type. This video is the Parsi rendition of monotheistic Zoroastriansism. They look at the Gathas and Zoroaster of the Gathas.

There were other Zoroasters, older than the one that came on the 17th Century BC, (2500 years ago is wrong). I look at other parts of the Zend-Avesta, and have linked modern Astrological concepts with The Ancients. You find out about The Ancients in The Vendidad chapters.

I have found that the story of Yima links to the coming of the last ice-age (15000 years ago) and funnily enough the latest Y-chromosone info confrims the migration of all our ancestors to this area. I am not going to go to the details.

But I do go to great details about the Astrological forces, that operate in our lives, as Dualistic Zoroastrianism. For me it is Hard and Soft aspects of Astrology, and I have sites devoted to all this called Citystats and Stockstars.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

A very nice video of what the UN is all about and what all our rights are.

A wonderful clip called the Seven faces of Civilization

Clip on a movie about Iranian Crown Jewels

This is a very nice clip on a future film on Iranian Crown Jewels. It's commentary is in Persian. But even if you don't understand Persian the images with thrill you to bits. Just think of the talent that went into making these Jewels and more importantly what inspired them. Thanks to Oldman at IU.

Friendfeed

I recommend Friendfeed to all of you, who have a collection of sites, and want it all consolidated.

Pre-Ice Age Iran, found in Turkey

"Look at this", he said, pointing at a photo of an exquisitely carved sculpture showing an animal, half-human, half-lion. "It's a sphinx, thousands of years before Egypt. South-eastern Turkey, northern Syria - this region saw the wedding night of our civilisation."

This all makes a lot of sense to me.  Afterall the Vendidad speaks of the coming of the ice-age, and the Kurds are one of the first settlements.

Comical animation on The Sting Theme

I loved the film The Sting, but the theme by Oskar Fischinger was superb. Now to compliment all that here is a great animation clip.

How to disagree

I post a lot, and comment a lot. I am mostly interested in Non Violence, and this article really shows how to respond.

Traditional Iranian Music at its best.

The origins of guitar come from Tar, and Iranian instrument. The drum sound is played by an instrument called Dayereh or circle. The two players are the greatest in Iranian history, being given the titles of Ostat or Maestros. Ostat Bikjekhani is on the Tar, and Ostat Farnam is on the Dayereh. Watch out for the tricks Farnam does with his Dayereh.
