The destruction of Persian Library in Ctesiphon by Arab Forces

What is it with Middle Eastern people and their unhealthy obsession with history?!

Do you know how many precious libraries Westerners and others have destroyed throughout history in Europe itself? Did that stop them from colonising your homelands?

Stop this manic mindset and focus yourselves on the present.
In the old days, "westerners" did not have libraries. Spears and shields were their biggest achievements. They write into history their made-up glorious stories about their past that never existed and eliminated or changed real history of Iran and others.

They changed in history every important name and place to Greek or Latin like the 'so called' Syrus The Great, so that, they can refer to the greatest leader of ancient time having Latin name not a Persian one. Another example, they even changed Messiah's name to Jesus. If you asked church going Christians who Messiah is, they wouldn't know or never heard of him. LOLOL

The west despises ancient Iran whom they see as a rival to undermine their fake glorious past. Roman and Greeks were not empires, they were warlords. All those Greek and roman history like the story of 300 hundred Spartans are all doctored up. In fact, in that battle, there were over 22000 Spartans against 10000 Persians, nevertheless Persians clobbered the Spartans, where only about 1200 Spartans escaped the carnage, as they were fleeing, the greek tribes exacted their revenge on Spartan too for their abuse. In the end, about 250-300 spartans finally manged to survive and flea with their tails on their back.

Later to save face, European doctored up that 300-spartan story (LOL). You see, it is a West habit to take a very humiliating defeat and turn it into a fake glorious victory.

Would you like to know what really is behind the story of "Republic of Plato"?

I was listening to Faisal Warraich's vlog
where I learned that when Arab Forces entered the Lands of Persian Dynasty,They came by a big Library in Ctesiphon.
Arab Forces were clueless what to do of this library.Caliph Hazrat Umar (R.A) told them to destroy that library.View attachment 1012222
I think that was not a good move.That library was built by hardwork of many generations of Peraians.
Some of the books here were written by the engineers who built Taq e Kasra which is a symbol of greatness of Persian Architecture.The books were collected from the scholars across the world.

Should have just spared that Library.
What i learnt from this historical event is that Sometimes too much superiority complex can lead to wrong doings.

No wonder ,Mongols destroyed the Arabian Litrature/Technological centre,Baghdad.You reap what you sow
The libraries and bait-ul-hikmah (house of wisdom) in Baghdad during Abbassid era did not prevent Mongol destruction.
 
The early Arab Muslims had never seen the technology progress of this magnitude at heir own homeland.
So their World view was very limited.Though when they came out of their shell and conquered advanced civilizations,they adapted rather quickly to the realms of new world and actually absorbed the knowledge.
The arabs have seen much greatness than the persians. They were connected to ancient egypt with trade and immigration.
And Egypt was way more developed than persia in all science fields. So why would arabs destroy this persian library? Its a lie just like the lie that muslims burned dow n alexandria library. It was the romans who did it.

yes they were far more advance than Iranian, by the way how many Arabs could read and write at the time holy prophet start preaching Islam ?
 
A bimaristan (Persian: بيمارستان, romanized: bīmārestān; Arabic: بِيْمَارِسْتَان, romanized: bīmāristān), also known as dar al-shifa (also darüşşifa in Turkish) or simply maristan, is a hospital in the historic Islamic world.
Bimaristan is a Persian word (بیمارستان bīmārestān) meaning "hospital", with bimar- from Middle Persian (Pahlavi) of vīmār or vemār, meaning "sick" or "ill person" plus the suffix -stan "place, location."

The Academy of Gondishapur (Persian: فرهنگستان گندی‌شاپور, Farhangestân-e Gondišâpur), also known as the Gondishapur University (دانشگاه گندی‌شاپور Dânešgâh-e Gondišapur), was one of the three Sasanian centers of education (Ctesiphon, Ras al-Ayn, Gundeshapur) and academy of learning in the city of Gundeshapur, Iran during late antiquity, the intellectual center of the Sasanian Empire. It offered education and training in medicine, philosophy, theology and science. The faculty were versed in Persian traditions. According to The Cambridge History of Iran, it was the most important medical center of the ancient world during the 6th and 7th centuries. The distinguished historian of science George Sarton called Jundishapur “the greatest intellectual center of the time.

Iran was in a starting phase/period of cultural and scientific renaissance before the Arab attack.

The following terminologies are all pre-islamic:
Dabirestan (school for training scribes and secretaries)
farhangestan (school/place of learning)
Bimarestan (hospital)
Amozgar (teacher)
Herbadestan (religious school)
Herbod (religious teacher)
Farhangbod (instructor)

They get them from Greek and Latin sources,therefore they use slightly changed versions of these names.

As for the name of Jesus,what are you even talking about? Nobody has changed the name.

Is that what they teach in Afghanistan? What the f?

You seem to be historically ignorant,I suggest you start reading ancient sources.

The arabs have seen much greatness than the persians. They were connected to ancient egypt with trade and immigration.
And Egypt was way more developed than persia in all science fields. So why would arabs destroy this persian library? Its a lie just like the lie that muslims burned dow n alexandria library. It was the romans who did it.
Nobody said Muslims burned down the Alexandria library.

Plus, ancient Egypt was the original home to the Stargate

It is true that ancient Saudi population in 7 centuries were pretty much primitive in comparison to Roman, Persian, China empire, etc

But Arab who lived in Levant, Egypt, Iraq were pretty advanced in their time due to Roman influences ( they were under Roman Empire during that time)

We can see it from the ruin of Alexandria ancient cities and Roman ancient buildings on that region I mentioned.

The arabs had their own civilizations.. for example the ruins of madan Saleh مدائن صالح
they were advanced just like egypt but every empire comes to an end just like ancient egypt decayed.

The romans were nothing compared to the ancient Arabs.

Nobody said Muslims burned down the Alexandria library.
Many europeans said that Amr ibn elas burned it down when he defeated the romans and conquerd Egypt.
It was already burned down way before that.
 
That's because they weren't exactly Arabs back then :P

Middle East people yep. But Quraish tribe (prophet tribe) has Iraq DNA as well from Abraham blood line. Pretty much they look the same under some variations. White skin, Fair skin, brown skin. Within my big families, I have this mixed with Palestinian, the offspring are all white skin with black hair.

I had a dream with prophet Muhammad. He is white skin with black hair. The white skin comes from Iraq DNA ( Abraham/ Ibrahim)

Yep, they are now using Arab language
 
True. There is hadith saying that it can happen to some Muslim.

He doesnt have any arrogance in his heart, his face and posture said it.

Wide chest, hair a bit long until shoulder, strong body like warrior, his face unlike common Arab you see on Gulf Arabic countries.

A curly, thick, and neat bearth, a bit curly black hair. White skin.

I see him like 40 years old with warrior like body and wise, kind, like face.
