The ancient persians were described by various ancient peoples as being tall and blond.?

Question

There were paintings that depict what the persians looked like and some of them had blond hair. And yet when people bring that up, there is always a racist connotation applied to it. If it wasn't true then why are there still fragments of blondes in Iran. For those features to develop in hundreds of years is ridiculous as it takes tens of thousands of years for mutations to happen.

There is no evidence of a invasion of blond people in Iran other that when the Persians first settled on the Iranian plateau.

Civilizations were started by different people. The Indus valley was a black civilization. Egypt was partially black. and China was mongoloid. And the persians were originally white. Cyrus the great was described as yellow haired with blue eyes. Why can't we put this politically correct nonsense behind us once and for all.

Answer 1

yes because the vikings went everywhere

they went as far as the middle east

Answer 2

what are you asking exactly? fair hair and eyes developed in the ice ages to help cope with that climate. many different peoples now have fair hair/eyes, why does that have rascist connotations? I dont understand. I got blond hair/blue eyes, I'm a Celt, not a n**i nor a mutant.

Answer 3

I think we will all be surprised when we see Jesus Christ!!  At that time, I don't think we will tell him how our colour is so much better that our other human brothers!

Answer 4

Simple Answer: The Persian Empires have been many bring several racial mixes into what is now Iran. Present day LIBERALS distance themselves without anyone who doesn't fit their mold. However, you're right. All we have to do is look at "most" Iranians in the USA and they are "fair" colored and some do have other than brown or black eyes.

Americans are the most racist people in the world. Perhaps because we are a melting pot of races. Each person attempts to "secularize" themselves so as to "distinguish" themselves apart from others.

As I have traveled the world, I find Americans are easy to spot. We speak ONLY ONE language! Other countries REQUIRE for necessity for the subjects to speak 2 or 3 languages. I met a woman in Germany who had basic education yet could speak fluently in Polish (mother's side), French (father's side), German (country of residence) and English (husband's language). I've yet to find any American man or woman who can boast knowing more than 1 language until we cross cultures in Chinese, Japanese, Hispanics. My o my!?

Answer 5

Those dang Vikings, they're everywhere!

Answer 6

The Indus valley civillisation was an Indian/Pakistani civillisation, not a black one.

Persians are Indo European in origin. You stll get blondes there today, and across North Africa into Morocco, and and Pakistan and Afghanistan too.
