Did not hear a "Thank You"

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly.

christmas is a rebranded pagan festivity and the pagan festivities evolved and came from migration and contact, persia is part of that chain but hardly the source.

a bunch of people got sick of the politics in africa and settled in india, then a bunch of northern indians got sick of the politics in india and started moving north and east away from that, rinse and repeat.

you should be nicer to the hindus azari, they are the root of your beloved persia :P

World has advanced materially, technology etc etc

but

culturally, world confused since long long time, 2600+ yrs time

IMVHO, a "World Cultural Revolution" is now overdue

patchwork will not do, a real grass-root redo only can put humanity again on the right track

The origins pre-date Persia.

You expect a "Thank you" for a OCD need to claim everything is from Greater Persia?

Really?

Anyways, the past is history. The present matters more.

Christians syncretized local traditions from everywhere they converted people. There is nothing particularly insightful about this, except for the absolutely preposterous arguments put forth about holiday traditions as if people are living in copyright court.
