For me , There is an Air of Mystery , excitement around Pre Islamic Iran .
Modern Iran though Top in Islamic world , doesn't have that Mystery and Excitement .

Indo-Scythians eventually settled down in around the Indus, and were exiled from modern day india after the re-conquest of Mathura.

Indo-Scythian culture and arts should be nationalized, but our government only seems to like the Mughals and Muhammad bin Qasim. Not to mention probably half of our population are decendants of the Scythian migrants.
