I'm delighted and honoured to bring you my first podcast discussion with Dr Linda Malcor, co-author of 'From Scythia to Camelot' This revolutionary book meticulously demonstrates that the core of the European stories of 'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table', Camelot and the Holy Grail is not entirely Gaelic, Celtic, or Ango-Saxon but Nor…

In previous episodes we discussed how the name Iran, not Persia is actually the historic and correct name of the Iranian nation and civilization. However, in this episode I’ll be making the case that when it comes to referring to the Persian language, the correct word in English is in fact Persian, not Farsi. Farsi is only the correct word--when yo…

The ancient Greeks referred to all of Iran by the name 'Persia,' after the Parsua people of the ruling central region of 'Pars' with which they were most familiar. And the European West borrowed this term from the Greeks and the name has stuck to this day. In a parallel irony, Greece is known as ‘Younan’ in Persian. This is because the part of Gree…

When starting a discussion on a topic, it’s imperative to define terms and agree on proper usage of names--especially proper names. And so doing a podcast like this one, presents us with a problem right from the get go. Which is the correct name? Is it Iran?

One must not think and speak of Persian/Iranian civilization as something restricted to the political boundaries of the Iranian nation state. Culturally and historically, Iran-- or as the Sassanian Persians referred to it 'Eran Shahr'(the Aryan Realm) is more a culture than it is a geographically restricted political entity.
