shugs · March 17th, 2007, 05:14 AM

There was a call for Iranian and other artists who were outraged by the movie 300 to post their works onto www.300themovie.info as a comeback...

Here is their fine artistry..!

Nice artwork! I loved the panoramic one...I'm guessing it's Persepolis? It looks great!

shugs · March 17th, 2007, 05:28 AM

I dont think it is... as it has a large citadel in the middle and it really does not coincide with the 'Persepolis 3D' renders or the landmarks in Persepolis such as The Gate of All Nations or Appadana Palace (all found in this thread http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=305896)

If you ask me it looks more like what Ecbatana would have looked like... with all the rugged terrain around it... It's certainly not Susa which is located in a vast flat land... It COULD be Babylon.. It's hard to tell

Shugs - THANKS, very impressive pics!

Shugs or anyone else:

The first picture posted, with the panoramic view showing the tower balcony-is that of a particular known city? I don't think it's Persepolis. Is it one of the three other capitals?

Hmmm... Possibly Ecbatana I guess

It certainly is not Persepolis.... Perhaps Babylon, but I don't think a citadel like is existed in Babylon... The citadel looks like the one found in Khorramabad today.. http://i2.tinypic.com/r0p9fk.jpg

IMPRESSIVE DESIGNS!!!

buttt....allass...we ALL know that KHOMEINI must be on them

we CANNOT possibly have a bank note without Khomeini, or some revolution-realted subjetc

thanks a million for all those fabulous pics bro!

Marcialou · April 3rd, 2007, 04:22 PM

Ectabana was my best guess too. I don't think Susa has the mountains, and it doesn't show the Euphrates River or hanging gardens one would expect in Babylon, so by process of elimination... Then again, it could be total fantasy. I haven't seen any pictures or plans of Ectabana for it to be based on.

Parse Pasargadae Made a Movie in Response to 300

Parse Pasargadae Research Center has made a short documentary movie about the magnificent of Persepolis historic site in Iranian Fars province in response to the malicious movie of 300.
Tehran, 1 April 2007 (CHN Foreign Desk) -- Parse Pasargadae Research Center in Iranian Fars province has produced a short documentary film in an attempt to bring the dignity of Persian ancient history into light and show its objection to the movie of 300 in which the reality about the history of Iran is distorted.

300 is a 2007 film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller, itself a loose adaptation about the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. There is the controversy brewing over not so subtle bashing of the video game genre by film critics. In this movie the Spartan King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the last man against more than one million soldiers of Xerxes, the Persian Achaemenid King. In this movie the reality about Persian history has distorted to a great deal and it shows an ugly image from Persians which has evoked the emotions of millions of Iranians all over the world and has raised the objection of historians and experts of cultural heritage.

Parse Pasargadae Research Center has voiced its objection toward this movie with producing a documentary film which is a montage of some scenes of 300 and comparing them with the bas relief of Persepolis palace in which the image of king Xerxes can be seen clearly. In this 24-minute documentary, some parts of the 3D movie of Glory of Persepolis made by Fardin Rezayian have been also combined to show the magnificence of Persepolis to people.

Referring to some parts of Herodotus history in this film, Parse Pasargadae Research Center has also proved that the story of 300 is absolutely baseless.

According to authorities of Parse Pasargadae Research Center, this documentary movie will be screened during first and second of April 2007 in introducing hall of Persepolis alongside the other related movies.

I hope this video will be made available over the internet. I went to the site, but it doesn't seem to be available yet, unless I am missing something.

I think Iran should make movie about Battle of Carrhae; greed Roman general Marcus Crassus attacked Persia (Parthia) with 45000 Romans, but Persian general Surena and just 9000 Persians defeated Romans.
It would be nice lesson and replication of today's situation: about Western greed and Persian heroism.

If i was the leader of iran, i would put those money in iran

Kuwaiti · October 16th, 2007, 12:48 PM

Those are really beautiful

Im very proud that my ancestors were part of the Persian culture. I love the text about what Darius told his son Xerxes: dont destroy cities. Its very true, when Persians conquered lands they hardly ever destroyed cities or committed any genocides. They loved to preserve cultures, even if it didnt belong to the Persian heritage. Unlike Mongols unfortunately lol.

AhuraMazda, is that the word for God in Zoroastrianism?

I wonder why Islam never said anything about Zoroastrianism, considering it was a monotheistic religion?
