People Of The Flame: David Adams Explores The Ancient Traditions Of Iran

- Iran is one of the earth’s final frontiers. It’s a country little visited by western travellers in recent years, yet it has been at the centre of world affairs for millennia. I wanted to take a peek “behind the veil” of modern-day Iran. What I discovered was a complex, incredibly hospitable people living in a much-misunderstood country at the heart of a troubled region. My journey takes me from the bustle of Tehran, via the Valley of the Assassins to ancient cities unchanged since Marco Polo first entered them eight centuries ago. But this isn’t just a journey through an ancient landscape. It’s a journey in search of one of the world’s least known religious sects ... the ancient Fire Worshippers Of Yazd.

This documentary show is quite old
Imagine sneezing and blowing out the flame, might make you ever so slightly unpopular
Who is your camera person? Credit where due, please
Nice job 👍 very interesting
Oh, yeah! I forgot I made these comments. Why did I forget? Because you removed the memories from my brain with your machines.
Most modern scholars disagree Zoroastrianism was a precursor to the Abrahamic faiths though may have influenced Judaism. Zoroaster is partially mythical, in that no one knows for sure when he existed or what part of the holy cannon he created. Also, Zoroastrianism was almost wiped out by Islam and there are only a couple thousand Iranians who practice the religion. It is more widespread in India, but still a dying religion. You are pushing myth as history and ignoring the destructiveness of Islam. I'd suggest everyone takes this with a large pinch of salt.
Everything came from and copied Zoroastrianism. That is a universal scholar fact.
Nah don’t point fingers Christians are just as bad 😂 religion in general has been declining
Zoroastrian religion does not allow converts, this is why it’s dying. To me it’s almost an ingenious religion for that reason. I would never want to join a religious organisation that would want to have me as a member. But I think the comments here are stupid, written by people who don’t know about the religion and are unwilling to admit that their own religion is also fiction, fiction that was originally plagiarised from this religion.
The influence on Judaism is overstated, but it's one factor to take into account.
Regardless of ur scholarly words. It's basically an observation of what an ignorant small group of people have done. Ruined the unencumbered spread of science and peace.
Religion is the most insidious disease on the planet 😢
2024 and the tone of this doc is still so eurocentered, picturing Iran as "the east", "exotic", "mysterious"... Enough of this, please
It's happening every day. They are prowling around our house, using some kind of machine to control what we think. They are removing thoughts from our brains. Here is an example. Last week, I grabbed a feminine napkin and threw it on my bed so it would be there when I pulled on my underwear. The pad disappeared, and so did the memory of taking it from it's package and placing it on my bed. The actual though-memory disappeared from my brain. All I did was think to myself that I thought I had grabbed one of the pads and threw it on my bed. Then I though, well, maybe I was wrong, because the pad is not there. I turned around, and the pad suddenly and mysteriously reappeared on my bed. This is happening all day long, every day. By the way, I think this relates to Iran, because I met Deborah, a woman from Iran, at Mary's Place. Those of you that spy on me all day will recall this. Deborah's father was the police officer that helped the Seattle Police department to catch the Green River Killer. Her family is from Iran.
You might want to see a doctor
Not in tune haha
Thanks for the 30 year old content 👎

Im not interested in listening to this if you refuse to tell the truth. At video minute 4:00 you claim the Iranian morality police would whip a woman for going without a veil in public. We have laws to keep us safe and happy. I think you are exaggerating, but maybe you aren't. Its hard to tell. We encourage women to wear head coverings because it protects them. We are not supposed to be drinking alcohol. I find it hard to believe the Iranian Imam would whip a man for drinking alcohol.
He said it’s a less enforced law but yeah a little exaggeration👍
From what, or from whom do your coverings protect your women - from your men? Are men really that dangerous in Islam? Didn't Muhammad teach you how to treat people? so many questions.
Gee. You are spectacularly naive.
Cool doco except the legal process wasn't well explained - Can't just edit together a few parts of interviews and drop some newspaper clippings together in explaining a legal situation as complex as this and expect the audience to have enough understanding of Law so they can make the assumptions. It goes for all story telling, (the documentary maker in this case), has to really understand the material so the understanding can be conveyed.
I was constantly pausing to read and trying to put it all together.
Good work on the cultural/art/religious details though, can tell the documentary maker has a strong understanding of that
