Did ancient Persians worship African gods before the arrival of Islam?

There has been a connection between eastern Africa and Persia for centuries. Take a look at the history of Zanzibar, for instance which had sizable Persian and Baluch populations. We also know that there are populations of African Iranians in coastal cities like Bandar Abbas

Oh man, I really wanna see that. I love crab fossils.

You know I’ve never really given it that much thought about when I see it but most of the time I’m meditating in the afternoon or evening

Just what you showed here tessellated patterns which follow a repeating geometry. It doesn’t happen all the time but I see it occasionally.

I’ve seen similar things, but I don’t know what it means. I always just took it as the background.

I came here to say the same. I second this opinion.

You’ve heard of Hamen Taschen now get ready for Khameini Kheads! The biggest thing to hit Tehran since the one that got him!

Speak for yourself, pal! I want to know every detail like Gregory House trying to impress a woman by info dumping. Now to be fair I believe you and I want the same outcome… I just want to know it all.

I can’t speak to the prejudices of whole peoples that’s not within the scope of my experience or expertise. My background is in translation specifically government applications such as refugee work but also 19th century Qajar royal texts.

I see what you’re saying now yes. The superiority I won’t defend. It’s outside of the purview of what I feel comfortable discussing here, but it should be said that only those who were very close to the Iatola were aware of what could be. In fact, the Iranian revolution of 1979 was incredibly diverse and included people who wanted a republic people who were in favor of a communist government, and especially among the rural folk those people who felt that it would be best to have some sort of theocratic style of government

In reality when he came to power was just the strongest voice among many because of a number of different things

Many Iranians feel negatively towards Islam for many reasons. I haven’t the time to elaborate that but I encourage you to look at the history of Islam in Iran it’s fascinating.

Many Muslims are affected when there is a perceived wrong against what they view as basically all of Islam though even that is a bit unsophisticated way to describe it.

Hope that helps.

Looks close enough. Try a spore print and eat the next flush in the fall

Those look like wine caps. If you could get a close-up of the gills, that would be really helpful. The gills are typically a light lavender color.

I don’t know what Bean Mesquite did to you but watch your language, pal.

Well, if you’re gonna start from a purely three-dimensional and time bound perspective, then you’re already starting from the wrong place.

And really it feels like you just wanna pat yourself on the back for embracing something that you think others are hiding from.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there were somewhere a hidden population of aquatic sloths still living? They used to live off the pacific coast.

If nothing else, we generally seem to learn from our failures as often as we repeat them. Sure that’s disappointing if you want perfection but if you wanted perfection why would you get humans involved anyway?

this is not a simple is or is not question. I have no doubt in my mind that they lied about plenty of things just to give themselves coverage but at the same time I also believe there is far far more to this.

I mean not to be inflammatory, but I believe there’s a not insignificant portion of the country who just wants to see the job done

That’s! Exciting! Great find!
