Persia,
well well well, how many times have we heard this word! And listened or
read its stories. Its
king, Syrus the great who have saved the Jews of Babel!! Or Esther, the
wife of another Persian king...and again the magi, who were the
messenger of the Persian king, for saving the little Jesus and his
mother from the Romans massacre by financing his voyage of many years or
again the thousand and one nights which was created at Baghdad, a city
with a Persian name which means godly given!!! And
in the heart of Persia with the abbasside khalif who governed with
wisdom and intellect by forgetting the Moslem fundamentalism for more
than 400 years and at last the great Persian scholars who, for staying
alive, have accepted to be a Moslem by formality but they were always
loyal to the ancient Persian thought of Avesta, of Avicenne, the father
of medicine, until Farabi who is the person who created and wrote the
music notes and Omar Khayyam, great mathematician, astrologer,
philosopher who said the human philosophy by a few quatrains. With
Montesquieu and how can we be a persian, Nietsh, Voltaire, Millet,
Miller, Bartolome, Goethe and many more European scholars who wrote many
things about the Persians thought... And
finally, the 7000 years of Pesrian art exposition, organised in 1961 at
the grand palace of Paris which was inaugurated by Charles de Gaulle and
André Malraux or even the same exposition at Bonn in 2000, Vienna in
2001, Brussels in 2002... ...And here is the book, which will give you a few drops of 7000 years of Persian civilisation... |
