@@F.B-f4x The trouble with the generation before yours (no more fitting symbol than the ✅ of the smartalecknowhateveritall Sadegh Ghotbzadeh) is that they think themselves smarter than their elders to believe in Khomeini’s promises.
What Shah spent on celebration of the 2500th year of Iranian monarchy was a fraction of what Ayatollahs spent a decade later on their war against Iraq.
In Shah's time (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi), we Armenians as a small minority had every rights and good opportunity for living, education, cloture, religion and many others which you couldn't find many other places so we are always appreciated to have a kinds of good life style in Iran before backward anti Iranian movement of 1979.

I was travelling overland in 1977, and for 1 month, through Iran . I was amazed how warm and friendly the people were, how happy and liberated the country was compared to Afghanistan, which I arrived from. Only old women would wear a vale. I never saw beggars in the street. I remember, buildings going up everywhere and instead of building a road around a mountain,there was a tunnel through a mountain many kilometres long. It was impressive. Now we have one of the most violent and delusional governments, being the major sponsor of terrorism. Congratulations to and long live the women of Iran and their quest for freedom.
Yes we were on our way getting closer to becoming a developed country. But leftists and Islamist couldn't let it happen. They started doing many terroristic actions to unstable the country and the king had to put them in jail then they began crying and saying he was cruel to put them in jail and Europe and UN and later even USA started to take their side. Now we are miserable and our Islamic leftist Regime sponsor terrorists all around the world and yet leftist from every were tell us the king was bad.
I still remember when the people of Iran deposed the shah and brought in Khomeini. The people did this to themselves. Can someone explain to me why they brought Khomeini?
@@avi10000 it was leftist who hates shah and his monarchy, as usual Islamists (far-far-right) are best friend of leftist, and started to revolt to bring equality, end corruption bla bla bla, freedom of religion (instead of suppression of religion) but later when shah was overthrown leftist got scammed, and later killed by Islamists.
@@avi10000 Because the people thought of the Shah as too western, corrupt, deceitful and an elitist. They also wanted a country in tune with Islamic laws. So they elected khomeini and Iran became an Islamic Republic with him being the political and religious leader for life.
Shah is our beloved and amazing king. we owe everything Iran has today to him and his father Reza Pahlavi. People wanted Religion back then and now they have it, you can't even breath without getting lashes.
It just shows how human mind is = never happy. Many people think grass is allways greener on the other side. When they get this, they want that, when they get that they want to go back to what was. Evolution has to go forward anyhow othervice we would all still be in the forrest in Africa. Its sad that some countries seem to only walk backward in evolution. When some people try to rise others push them back down.
If you mean islam. Islam was there before shah oand still there after him and it will be after us. How was iran before this idea of kingdom started. Power shouldt be among one family who pay bilions for parties

He is a US puppet and a dictator .. Coup happened because Iranian doesn't want him . at Shia time all oil production are manage by WEST .. Iran once have a democratically elected president but US assassinated him .
Yeah, if you're against the Islamic regime in Iran, that's fine, because overall their not that better. But don't think Mohammad Reza shah was any better. He was educated but a real tyrant and did not respected his own people's situation and desires but he respected his own power and grim monarchy history of his country. A revolution at that time was needed and justified. You could raise problems with theocracy and a strict grudgeful religious political stance, but praising this guy and his terrible actions to be against this is wrong.
My friend just visited Iran with her son, a second time in a few years. Iranian people are nice and friendly , the country is beautiful , they said. They were in the northwestern part of Iran. Love from Hungary.
The Shah was out of touch with most Iranians. His secret police Savak tortured and killed people. He made every small shop owner have a large portrait of him in their shop which was the most valuable thing in most shops. He killed too many students that were demonstrating. He spent a fortune on the 2500 pre-Islamic celebration while working poor people made $20 a month. If the Shah had been better, the revolution may have not happened.
My grandparents, who served him, and my parents who were alive at his time, share only good memories with him. The pahlavis were a great warm hearted and patriotic family, sadly there still is so much propaganda about them being spread💔
Problem was that during the reign of Shah, large portion of Iranians didn't have access to education and economic opportunities. It's estimated that rate of poverty was as high as 40% during Shah's Iran. That's not even taking into account what SAVAKS did to regular Iranians.
It's hard to believe this party was 53 years ago, the shah wanted to bring Iran into modernity. However he went about it in the wrong way in places. The revolution left scars that will never heal until the current regime is toppled. I hope one day the Shahs body can be repatriated to Iran, two of his children committed suicide following the revolution and countless lives where taken by the new regime
Khomeini destroyed Iran. One of the most beautiful countries in the world. It had everything, Persians are the kindest most generous people I have ever met.
But in komeiny REGIM little bit standard of life is higher! I saw the statistic about litterate and infant mortality! Before revolution all oil was explotated by privat foreigner companies!
Khomeini Religiously maybe Extreme but he saved Iranian Resources for Iran And that Atheist Idiot Shah was Just throwing Iranian Money and Oil just for his Pleasure not to mention those Secret Police And Someone Told me he was in Europe still didn't learn what French had done to their king when he turn out like this

Absolutely facinating documentary!!!! Have seen a few docs on the Shah but loved all the old footage and interviews from the different sides in this one. Excellent!
@Sahar Karimy Thank you so much for your very thorough and informative information. Pahlavi build Iran and mullas destroyed Iran. It would be very interesting to have a comparison between all the improvements during the Pahlavi Dynasty and all that mullas destruction in Iran. The comparison will be horrendous. Millions were killed during the war of Iran and Iraq and also thousands were killed in the political prisons. Country was destroyed by mullas and that was not enough for them so they started killing the oppositions outside of the country for example Fereydoun Farrokhzad who was savagely killed by the Islamic spies in his apartment. Shame on the Islamic government of Iran who are nothing but criminals and they all have to be accountable for all their crimes. Thank you again Sahar for your information.

I remember people mocking this speech. The fact is people do not know. They also mock the current leader. It is almost a desease that Iranian people have. However I am sure Cyrus was not amuzed by this speech (for obvious reasons). The knowledgeable people know why.
@@0-equals-1-trilliontiger67 People "mocked him" back then because they were brainwashed after extensive false propaganda smear campaigns and a bunch of lies (like this documentary) that has been totally debunked today. "Mocking" is not close to what people feel about the current Islamic degenerates ruling Iran today. Iranians loathe, hate and are disgusted by this Islamic Republic who has held them hostage in their own country since 1979. If people "hate" anything, it's the feeling of being ruled by a bunch of dangerous savages that are not even Iranian (most of them are from Najaf/Iraq and they hate Iranian culture & Iranian history, this is a FACT). No, nobody "mocks" our great king. Quite on the contrary, Iranians today worship the King of Iran. He is absolutely a hero among our many many Kings of old who have protected their country and loved their nation. Maybe you don't know, but since you clueless people talk smack about the Shah, but very early into his reign, communists of the Tudé party of Iran failed an assassination plot and injured the King. He then pardonned the communist assassin and offered him to become mayor of Tehran. And we could go on and on about him. He was a gregarious king. Iranians have now realized what they've lost. That is the situation rn
Why crying sissy? The shah is a great corrupt person, exploiting the wealth of the Iranian people for his extravagance. The time of empires is over. As for the current Iranian government, it is religious extremism to the highest degree, but it has a project that rejects American dictates.
well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and his western trained brutal secret police and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms
Shah worked very hard to end poverty in Iran. They gave nutritious food to children in schools all over the country. They gave free fridges and stoves to poor people so they can survive. There were extensive plans to provide healthcare, clean water, and education to everybody. He couldn't finish what he had started because they didn't let him. I went to Persepolis, Shiraz as a child and later, It seemed very safe and not out of the way at all, many people were there. Persians need accurate information about our history. Shah and his father the Great Reza Shah were amazing people who improved Iran significantly.
You are right. The regime and regime followers together with the help and support of the USA , made a very big effort to hide the real Iranian history and the efforts and success to modernise Iran. The Shah was one of the most educated person at the head of a country in the region. He spoke excellent English and French, he was educated in one of the most advanced countries in Europe, when the rest of the kings in the region where only tribal leaders with very little education if any , and ruled on a bunch of tents .
Are you crazy or something he threw a billion dollar party in the middle of the desert because Iran infrastructure was capable of holding events also he imported almost 99% of stuff from France & majority of the workers were Swiss while the Iranian weren't even presented there not only that but you are such a pathetic & uneducated lier the Shah of Iran himself admitted that he did corruption & killed hundred Thousands of Innocent young teenagers who had protested against him also he called himself King of Kings when his graveyard is in a Mosque in a room smaller than my bedroom not only that but France itself the country from where majority of the stuff was imported from gave that the total amount of money spent was more then 1200 million US dollars so please stop lying you hypocrite

Very true, if you watch one of the last interviews of Shahanshah, he mentioned his great projects for the improvements in all aspects of modernization and making Iran a very powerful country and that was very scary for some to hear. Not only jealousy but also the fear of loosing their profits and control in the region. British government interfered a lot in the region and they supported mullas. Mullas love Britain and Britain loves mullas
The Shah of Iran was imperfect. His rule had serious defects. But he also did good things. Iran under the Shah was much better than under the Mulahs (5,000 political prisoners became 45 million). The scale of the Persepolis event was pure follie. Especially in a country with a 50% poverty rate but many leaders and governments are guilty of obscene spending. Iran's future was brighter under a modernist. Now Iran is a cultural, scientific, religious, technological, military and political outcast; a backwater and the greatness of the Persian people and their once magnificent culture and civilisation is buried under religious dogma and hidden behind international isolation.

Events like these are done as an investment, where great deals are sealed; unfortunately, any deals made here could not come to fruition as a result of the revolution.
Shah was a great king and everybody in my country loves him. If any country in the world can arrange such a big event like this and gather important people such as the president, prime minister, king and queen of different countries in a desert, then come and judge our king. Shah built 1300 schools with the money donated by the guests and he wanted to introduce our history and culture to the world.
Gotta be kidding. When Shah was overthrown, poverty rate in Iran was 40% and literacy rate was around 35%. Today, poverty rate in Iran is around 25% and literacy rate is close to 100%. Were it not for insane Western embargo and sanctions, combined with economic warfare, and US/NATO/Israel funding/arming/training jihadists in neighboring countries like Syria, rate of poverty would be even lower.

This documentary is produced and sponsored by the nasty government of the islamic mullas and their paid actors and liars. There is no truth to this documentary because like any other fabricated lies of the nasty regime. Shahanshah was the greatest leader and he had done so much for the country that is beyond saying. That celebration created a huge income for the country through the tourism. After the revolution, the islamic regime and the mullas did nothing but destroying the country and killing innocent people. Making hijab mandatory and stoning women to death on public streets. Islamic regime killed thousands and thousands of young people in the political prisons without any trials. Millions were killed during the war between Iran and Iraq. Mullas really sending young people to the borders and asking them to run in the minefields, telling them that they will go to heaven. If mullas like heaven so much why they did not go to the minefields and why they did not send their own children to the battle. Pahlavi Dynasty build a great modern country with lots of hospitals, universities, mother industries such as car manufacturing and steel of Isfahan, car parts and send young people to Europe and gave them scholarship to build a great future for them and the country and women got the right to vote and work. Pahlavi ended the nasty feudalism system in Iran in 1963 and it is called the White Revolution, The Revolution of The King and The People. Shahanshah was a very educated, humble, kind man who during his short life and reign, had done more than centuries of service for his country and his people. Why this documentary does not reveal all the goodness that Shah brought upon his country and all the crimes and destruction of the islamic regime during the last 43 years of the mullas dictatorship. Mullas stole all the money and killed all the opposition and no one can breathe in Iran. No one has a voice because mullas just kill everyone who dares to say something.
Thanks for adding the correction! When I saw the subtitle from the woman's statement in my mind I thought, what does this mean people's god? Wondered if the word god meant something different to her than what I understood it to mean (a divine/undying entity). It makes more sense now that you've stated it was a translation error. I'm glad you added your comment because that moment in the video stood out to me and I was a little surprised and was curious about it :)
The exact word by word translation of what that woman said about Shah. She said: " I have never seen him (Shah) but I'd like to, it's my biggest wish. Shah in my opinion is equal to the Great God, Shah is the small god of people". She said it with purity and love.

As an Iranian young citizen, after about 50 years, I can confirm that he had a divine goal to fulfill... he had to be overthrown by this so called "islamic republic", so that this regime could be a lesson for the whole world, that religion and politics don't go together... With all of the bad things they taught us in schools and universities and medias, I say god bless your soul dear Mohammad Reza, may your soul rest in peace for eternity...

@@jandrews6254 The criminal regime of Iran has been stealing all the national treasures and selling them to the black market for millions of dollars. They have no shame no dignity and definitely no honor. What is left of Persepolis is just the surface and they have dug out all the artifacts from the underground. They also have taken all the national treasures from the museums. I hope we all see the end of this regime very soon. People are getting killed every day in Iran crying for freedom from this regime.
I no longer buy those propaganda against a leader who spend so much on special events. First of all it's so beautiful to watch and at times inspiring. We have witnessed that most of the toppled governments and monarchies were far better than those who took over. Most of the time more violent and NO CLASS AT ALL. For the Shah's family, I really wish them well❤ I pray that God will favor their cause.❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

He would have thrown one way or another trust me. In the middle you can do everything but never come for their religion or culture. Americans learned the hard way in iraq
@@AliabdirahmanCade62 nearly 90% of Iranians now believe in voluntary hijab. More than 70% believe in secularism. All of that data is according to the Islamic Republic's own survey. Seems like the only thing that can get rid of religion in the middle east, is religious governance itself.
I wish he hadn't left Iran , that was a demonstration of power which wasn't a good idea . He underestimated his enemies especially molas . He said after he leaves people will wash the walls with tears, which was true
@@Khosrow_I Bullshit Iran now has the highest percentage of female STEM graduates in middle east. They are one of the few countries to develop and launch their own satellite. With the Shah Iran the perverted Elites ruled the roost. And majority people from villages and small towns were suffering heavily. These are things you won't see in pictures. Now there is much more balance in the Iranian society. Only propaganda peddlers consistently spread lies and as their perverted desires have been put to stop in Iran.
I suppose the closest event in history that compares somewhat is, The Field of the Cloth of Gold. This was a summit between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France, which occurred from June 7 - 24th, in 1520. Temporary palaces were built for both kings. Also, lodgings for both their entourages. Naturally, the temporary structures were built for kings, and the tents made from THAT much silk and golden thread, the name was coined for the event. Apparently, there were fountains that constantly had wine flowing. There were musicians, performers, you name it. As well, there events, like jousting, which has to be the most idiotically dangerous "sport" that's ever existed. Catherine De Medici's husband, King Henry II of France learnt precisely how dangerous. During one jousting event, his opponent accidentally hit him in the head with the lance. It pierced through his helmet into his eye. They practiced on prisoners before attempting to remove the end of the lance lodged in the king's head. They successfully removed it and he actually survived for a few days. Actually, Henry VIII had a bad accident while jousting and he never played again. The wound in his leg never healed for the rest of his life. Periodically they would have to drain the puss when it built up. It smelled nasty.

My mom side of family are from Iran my dad side Tajiks from Kandahar also Pashtun, I grew up very poor, when I sit and see this my mind can’t comprehend how rich our counter parts were, it’s like I’m not used to it, I’m not used to hearing Farsi and seeing such type educated rich people, I grew up in very poor place in Afghanistan spoke a mixture of Farsi and Pashto, sorry English is not my first language it’s hard for me to put in sentence what I wanna say

You probably mean Cyrus cylinder. Well Iranian have been lucky to keep their historic , antique items in safe museums. otherwise it was demolished, stolen, sold or missing in the hands of thugs who overthrow Shag . Recently priceless crowns of King and queen disappeared from the treasury.

About 7 years ago I went to Iran and enjoyed my time. Great people ❤ while at persepolis I visited the remains of the 2500 years party tent city and managed to take some concert from what the tents sat on 😂😂.
I was in Egypt when the Shah and family arrived. I was at university (AUC) with the son Reza Pahlavi and a daughter Farah was at the American (CAC) school where my brother attended. A friend of the family, who was teaching in Iran barely got out of the country alive.

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." --Percy Bysshe Shelley
Don't be confused. Did you see how Taliban conquered Afghanistan while an incompetent president is in white house. The same tragedy happened in Iran while Jimmy Carter was in the office. But It was part of a bigger plan. All leftist governments in the west alongside Russia and China were supporting the terrorist regime of Iran during past 43 years to steal our money and resources and suppress the people. Now, we the people are fed up and have no choice to rise up against tyranny because it is the matter of life or death for us. We want to change the constitution to a democratic one. Current constitution has a supreme cleric dictator leader above the law who decides for every aspect of our life.
well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and his western trained brutal secret police and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms
Me, as well. Along with Christian Bible Prophecy, especially in Revelation, as explained by Dr. John Burnett, recently. He’s very detailed about teaching, as he is international and Missionary. About the time of Iran and Persia problems, Christ, Our King of Kings, was born near Jerusalem. That was the only area not yet taken /conquered! As far as politics, the Shah wasted time and money, for no good purpose! Thinking himself humble, yet being openly proud! None so blin, as those who will not see!
This video is extremely biased to be honest. Not sure why no one posts a video about Atefeh Sahaaleh who was raped and executed at 16 years old instead of her rapists. She was raped in prison so badly that she had to crawl on all fours. So as an Iranian forgive me for loving my king who only arrested people who were going to over throw him and instill their own radical government. Forgive me for loving the Shah who only exiled Khomeini when he should have executed him

He was trying to make things better . The party was to show the history and bring nations together. He should have payed attention to his people and explained why he was throwing the party. By time it was too late . He shouldnt have seperated people from what they wanted to do. He couldnt control his police as some were corrupt. Innocent people at their hands and telling the shah that they were a threat,etc. There was aways a plan to bring the clergy back if the shah got too powerful. Its a shame really😢 The history of persia so great, like a fairy tale. God bless all the iranian innocents from any corrupt power and set them free to live in peace❤
It’s interesting that people criticize the decadence of this party today. Yet, the World Cup being held today is pretty much the same decadence . All over the world Governments do this. Not saying it’s right . What the Iranians have now is the Stone Age compared to where they could’ve been even with the Shah. I get the feeling that Women’s rights was the main problem the clerics had with the Shah. It’s truly sad that people still want to keep women in oppression.
Social freedoms, freedom of religion, good life for citizens, right to free education even in university, women's right to vote as the first country, health insurance, home loan. High wages. The people of Iran had everything, but they did not have intelligence. The king's mistake was that he gave everything to the people of Iran, and they thought that this was the king's duty, and the people of Iran should not work at all, they should rest at home and receive money every month. take their oil from the government. With these words, Khomeini encouraged the people to revolution and told the people that he will give free houses to everyone and they will get oil money every month and they don't need to work.

I completely understand with their Iranian people being upset, but where are they now? Are they better off? I’m trying to be sensitive about the situation because I know that there has been a lot of foreign country influence since then and Iranian people continues to struggle.
"Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings'" No, not really, he did not make this up. This is an ancient title of the Shahs of Iran, from the time that the Persian Empire was so large, that it incorporated many states, whose kings were left in place, but were subordinate to the Shah. Hence "King of Kings". This is exactly the same model Romans used later.
How is this any different from the Queen of England’s Platinum Jubilee? Wasn’t that a billion dollars, but it’s all fine when Europeans do it but by all means let’s hate on middle easterners for no reason
@@maym7809 The English people and the british morachs wealth came from all the countries they colonized. Including the Oil they stole from Iran and when the Shah didn't want to continue the fraudelent consortium treaty of 1953 they did everything in their power to remove him in 1979.
So Barbara Walters said Iran was a constitutional Monarchy which gave the Shah full power. That is incorrect. It was an absolute Monarchy. The UK is a constitutional Monarchy. Very different.
It is a shame that those who showed up, consumed the food, enjoyed the entertainment and drank to their hearts' content, and fawned on and complimented the Shah for his generosity and hospitality; hardly anyone on that guest list gave a hoot when he was overthrown, homeless and facing destitution. Almost all of them kept a distance from him, refused him hospitality and never took his calls. We see human nature at its worst. When the Shah was begging for countries to take him in, I wonder if this thought ever crossed his mind. I am sure it did!
The Shah of Iran was far beyond the intellectual and social capacity of the people of his country and even the world, and he knew precisely that to have a prosperous and prosperous country, one must work and avoid marginalization. For this reason, at a time when the Western governments and the Soviet Union were trying to derail his high-speed train due to the recession by inciting the common people in Iran, he was attacked by treacherous conspiracies of the Westerners and was finally overthrown. But his opponents were and are people who still owe their past and present character to the services of the king and his late father. May his soul rest in peace.

well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms , they don't want regime change or they don't want America and the west imposing western values on the country or imposing a new western dictator The shah of Iran who was a military dictator supported by the collective west refused to give powers to religious leaders , that created tensions and the climax was a revolutions , he was making alcohol legal , he refused to allow religious leaders on TV and he was a dictator , the people wanted a democracy and that is what they did , they overthrow him and they held elections , even today Iran has elections every 4 years , I don't support the Iran's government , I think its a fanatical government , but I don't support regime change , regime change is the worst possible outcome , it would be a pity and a tragedy the people that support the Shah of Iran are the 1% , during the shah 1% were very wealthy
The Shah maintained a secret police called “SAVAK”, who tortured & killed so many people that even Jimmy Carter condemned its actions in the ‘70s Please educate yourself first, before spouting any more of your ignorance
Interesting to see the 'absence ' of western countries in deciding Iran's fate and the entire middle east actually . The only issue for them really, is either they control the oil / ie the rulers or not . Well right now they dont . And Iran is the major player in the Region . Syria was but since a couple of years , not anymore. Ps: Really funny how France played a double game . Supporting The Shah and hosting Khomeini ...
Iran is a major player yeah sure I remember when they were saying the same about Saddam Hussein until he made the mistake of invading Kuwait and then he found out how irrelevant he was. Iran's current leaders today are clinging to power with a country in chaos best they do not get any crazy ideas beyond their own borders.
I do not hate the Shah, I hate that by what he presented to the world and the lavish way he lived, cost Iran so much and the people suffered then and now. I do not hate Iran, I hate the suppression/oppression of so many. i no longer think of how it could of been, I think of how it can be, but yet still nothing or not enough. Words still escape me to truly express my feelings about all that has happened, to me and so many.

What Shah spent on celebration of the 2500th year of Iranian monarchy was a fraction of what Ayatollahs spent a decade later on their war against Iraq.

I was travelling overland in 1977, and for 1 month, through Iran . I was amazed how warm and friendly the people were, how happy and liberated the country was compared to Afghanistan, which I arrived from.
Only old women would wear a vale. I never saw beggars in the street. I remember, buildings going up everywhere and instead of building a road around a mountain,there was a tunnel through a mountain many kilometres long.
It was impressive.
Now we have one of the most violent and delusional governments, being the major sponsor of terrorism.
Congratulations to and long live the women of Iran and their quest for freedom.
the sharp contrast from Afghanistan was the country at its peak of modernization and growth (1973-1979)
Yes we were on our way getting closer to becoming a developed country. But leftists and Islamist couldn't let it happen. They started doing many terroristic actions to unstable the country and the king had to put them in jail then they began crying and saying he was cruel to put them in jail and Europe and UN and later even USA started to take their side. Now we are miserable and our Islamic leftist Regime sponsor terrorists all around the world and yet leftist from every were tell us the king was bad.
I still remember when the people of Iran deposed the shah and brought in Khomeini. The people did this to themselves. Can someone explain to me why they brought Khomeini?
@@avi10000 it was leftist who hates shah and his monarchy, as usual Islamists (far-far-right) are best friend of leftist, and started to revolt to bring equality, end corruption bla bla bla, freedom of religion (instead of suppression of religion) but later when shah was overthrown leftist got scammed, and later killed by Islamists.
@@avi10000 Because the people thought of the Shah as too western, corrupt, deceitful and an elitist. They also wanted a country in tune with Islamic laws. So they elected khomeini and Iran became an Islamic Republic with him being the political and religious leader for life.

If you mean islam. Islam was there before shah oand still there after him and it will be after us. How was iran before this idea of kingdom started. Power shouldt be among one family who pay bilions for parties
That’s why we have to be careful with religion in politics. No a very good mix, in my opinion.

Yeah, if you're against the Islamic regime in Iran, that's fine, because overall their not that better. But don't think Mohammad Reza shah was any better. He was educated but a real tyrant and did not respected his own people's situation and desires but he respected his own power and grim monarchy history of his country. A revolution at that time was needed and justified. You could raise problems with theocracy and a strict grudgeful religious political stance, but praising this guy and his terrible actions to be against this is wrong.
My friend just visited Iran with her son, a second time in a few years. Iranian people are nice and friendly , the country is beautiful , they said. They were in the northwestern part of Iran. Love from Hungary.
I remember the Shah. He was intelligent, well mannered and cultured. He spoke very good French. His overthrow was a disaster for Iran.
Yes, is was So Sad for Iran !!!
He lacked legitimacy as a King in the eyes of his subjects. He was seen as an American puppet.
The Shah was out of touch with most Iranians. His secret police Savak tortured and killed people. He made every small shop owner have a large portrait of him in their shop which was the most valuable thing in most shops. He killed too many students that were demonstrating. He spent a fortune on the 2500 pre-Islamic celebration while working poor people made $20 a month. If the Shah had been better, the revolution may have not happened.
My grandparents, who served him, and my parents who were alive at his time, share only good memories with him.
The pahlavis were a great warm hearted and patriotic family, sadly there still is so much propaganda about them being spread💔
Problem was that during the reign of Shah, large portion of Iranians didn't have access to education and economic opportunities.
It's estimated that rate of poverty was as high as 40% during Shah's Iran. That's not even taking into account what SAVAKS did to regular Iranians.
Very good documentary ! Many of us were sad to hear the news that the Shah of Iran exiled in 1979. Love from India.
He hated India and supported Pakistan against Indian aggression.
did you feel sorry for the elected government that was ousted by the US and British to put him in power in the first place...?
Love india from iran❤
It's hard to believe this party was 53 years ago, the shah wanted to bring Iran into modernity. However he went about it in the wrong way in places. The revolution left scars that will never heal until the current regime is toppled. I hope one day the Shahs body can be repatriated to Iran, two of his children committed suicide following the revolution and countless lives where taken by the new regime
Khomeini destroyed Iran. One of the most beautiful countries in the world. It had everything, Persians are the kindest most generous people I have ever met.
But in komeiny REGIM little bit standard of life is higher! I saw the statistic about litterate and infant mortality! Before revolution all oil was explotated by privat foreigner companies!
So true !!!!!!

@Sahar Karimy Thank you so much for your very thorough and informative information. Pahlavi build Iran and mullas destroyed Iran. It would be very interesting to have a comparison between all the improvements during the Pahlavi Dynasty and all that mullas destruction in Iran. The comparison will be horrendous. Millions were killed during the war of Iran and Iraq and also thousands were killed in the political prisons. Country was destroyed by mullas and that was not enough for them so they started killing the oppositions outside of the country for example Fereydoun Farrokhzad who was savagely killed by the Islamic spies in his apartment. Shame on the Islamic government of Iran who are nothing but criminals and they all have to be accountable for all their crimes. Thank you again Sahar for your information.

38:10 As an Iranian I cry every damn time in pride.... one of the most touching recorded moments in the history of my land
This video is British propaganda and is not in favor of pre-Islamic Iran. It is a propaganda video against the Pahlavi dynasty. The 2500-year celebrations were the most effective and brilliant decision by the then government of Iran; it managed to get Iran on the world map and bring hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue to Iran and its people. The festivity's total cost was around 35 million dollars, but the end result of compounding investments and tourism made Iran the wealthiest and most powerful nation in West Asia and the world!
I remember people mocking this speech. The fact is people do not know. They also mock the current leader. It is almost a desease that Iranian people have.
However I am sure Cyrus was not amuzed by this speech (for obvious reasons). The knowledgeable people know why.
@@0-equals-1-trilliontiger67
People "mocked him" back then because they were brainwashed after extensive false propaganda smear campaigns and a bunch of lies (like this documentary) that has been totally debunked today.
"Mocking" is not close to what people feel about the current Islamic degenerates ruling Iran today. Iranians loathe, hate and are disgusted by this Islamic Republic who has held them hostage in their own country since 1979. If people "hate" anything, it's the feeling of being ruled by a bunch of dangerous savages that are not even Iranian (most of them are from Najaf/Iraq and they hate Iranian culture & Iranian history, this is a FACT).
No, nobody "mocks" our great king. Quite on the contrary, Iranians today worship the King of Iran. He is absolutely a hero among our many many Kings of old who have protected their country and loved their nation. Maybe you don't know, but since you clueless people talk smack about the Shah, but very early into his reign, communists of the Tudé party of Iran failed an assassination plot and injured the King. He then pardonned the communist assassin and offered him to become mayor of Tehran. And we could go on and on about him. He was a gregarious king. Iranians have now realized what they've lost. That is the situation rn
Gaudy and embarrassing event.
Why crying sissy?
The shah is a great corrupt person, exploiting the wealth of the Iranian people for his extravagance. The time of empires is over. As for the current Iranian government, it is religious extremism to the highest degree, but it has a project that rejects American dictates.
A valuable documentary for the world to rediscover the pass history of Iran "
well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and his western trained brutal secret police and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms
Shah worked very hard to end poverty in Iran. They gave nutritious food to children in schools all over the country. They gave free fridges and stoves to poor people so they can survive. There were extensive plans to provide healthcare, clean water, and education to everybody. He couldn't finish what he had started because they didn't let him. I went to Persepolis, Shiraz as a child and later, It seemed very safe and not out of the way at all, many people were there. Persians need accurate information about our history. Shah and his father the Great Reza Shah were amazing people who improved Iran significantly.
Is that why his son committed suicide 😂
@@fhd588 and you are joking about someone"s suicide? what a disgusting mentality..
You are right. The regime and regime followers together with the help and support of the USA , made a very big effort to hide the real Iranian history and the efforts and success to modernise Iran. The Shah was one of the most educated person at the head of a country in the region.
He spoke excellent English and French, he was educated in one of the most advanced countries in Europe, when the rest of the kings in the region where only tribal leaders with very little education if any , and ruled on a bunch of tents .
Are you crazy or something he threw a billion dollar party in the middle of the desert because Iran infrastructure was capable of holding events also he imported almost 99% of stuff from France & majority of the workers were Swiss while the Iranian weren't even presented there not only that but you are such a pathetic & uneducated lier the Shah of Iran himself admitted that he did corruption & killed hundred Thousands of Innocent young teenagers who had protested against him also he called himself King of Kings when his graveyard is in a Mosque in a room smaller than my bedroom not only that but France itself the country from where majority of the stuff was imported from gave that the total amount of money spent was more then 1200 million US dollars so please stop lying you hypocrite

Very true, if you watch one of the last interviews of Shahanshah, he mentioned his great projects for the improvements in all aspects of modernization and making Iran a very powerful country and that was very scary for some to hear. Not only jealousy but also the fear of loosing their profits and control in the region. British government interfered a lot in the region and they supported mullas. Mullas love Britain and Britain loves mullas
The Shah of Iran was imperfect. His rule had serious defects. But he also did good things. Iran under the Shah was much better than under the Mulahs (5,000 political prisoners became 45 million). The scale of the Persepolis event was pure follie. Especially in a country with a 50% poverty rate but many leaders and governments are guilty of obscene spending. Iran's future was brighter under a modernist. Now Iran is a cultural, scientific, religious, technological, military and political outcast; a backwater and the greatness of the Persian people and their once magnificent culture and civilisation is buried under religious dogma and hidden behind international isolation.

Gotta be kidding. When Shah was overthrown, poverty rate in Iran was 40% and literacy rate was around 35%.
Today, poverty rate in Iran is around 25% and literacy rate is close to 100%. Were it not for insane Western embargo and sanctions, combined with economic warfare, and US/NATO/Israel funding/arming/training jihadists in neighboring countries like Syria, rate of poverty would be even lower.

In addition, the poverty rate is rising in recent years and people have no future, they cannot find jobs and the inflation rate is extremely high making life very expensive. @@mrteacher1315

Thanks for adding the correction! When I saw the subtitle from the woman's statement in my mind I thought, what does this mean people's god? Wondered if the word god meant something different to her than what I understood it to mean (a divine/undying entity). It makes more sense now that you've stated it was a translation error. I'm glad you added your comment because that moment in the video stood out to me and I was a little surprised and was curious about it :)
The exact word by word translation of what that woman said about Shah. She said: " I have never seen him (Shah) but I'd like to, it's my biggest wish. Shah in my opinion is equal to the Great God, Shah is the small god of people". She said it with purity and love.

Did the terrorists leave anything of Persepolis, or did they destroy it all?
@@jandrews6254 The criminal regime of Iran has been stealing all the national treasures and selling them to the black market for millions of dollars. They have no shame no dignity and definitely no honor. What is left of Persepolis is just the surface and they have dug out all the artifacts from the underground. They also have taken all the national treasures from the museums. I hope we all see the end of this regime very soon. People are getting killed every day in Iran crying for freedom from this regime.

I suppose the closest event in history that compares somewhat is, The Field of the Cloth of Gold. This was a summit between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France, which occurred from June 7 - 24th, in 1520.
Temporary palaces were built for both kings. Also, lodgings for both their entourages. Naturally, the temporary structures were built for kings, and the tents made from THAT much silk and golden thread, the name was coined for the event. Apparently, there were fountains that constantly had wine flowing. There were musicians, performers, you name it. As well, there events, like jousting, which has to be the most idiotically dangerous "sport" that's ever existed.
Catherine De Medici's husband, King Henry II of France learnt precisely how dangerous. During one jousting event, his opponent accidentally hit him in the head with the lance. It pierced through his helmet into his eye. They practiced on prisoners before attempting to remove the end of the lance lodged in the king's head. They successfully removed it and he actually survived for a few days.
Actually, Henry VIII had a bad accident while jousting and he never played again. The wound in his leg never healed for the rest of his life. Periodically they would have to drain the puss when it built up. It smelled nasty.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Honestly i was confused about everything going on with iran these days, and I think this video cleared a lot for me
Don't be confused. Did you see how Taliban conquered Afghanistan while an incompetent president is in white house. The same tragedy happened in Iran while Jimmy Carter was in the office. But It was part of a bigger plan. All leftist governments in the west alongside Russia and China were supporting the terrorist regime of Iran during past 43 years to steal our money and resources and suppress the people. Now, we the people are fed up and have no choice to rise up against tyranny because it is the matter of life or death for us. We want to change the constitution to a democratic one. Current constitution has a supreme cleric dictator leader above the law who decides for every aspect of our life.
well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and his western trained brutal secret police and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms
You must see everything clearly after watching a one-sided video
Me, as well. Along with Christian Bible Prophecy, especially in Revelation, as explained by Dr. John Burnett, recently. He’s very detailed about teaching, as he is international and Missionary. About the time of Iran and Persia problems, Christ, Our King of Kings, was born near Jerusalem. That was the only area not yet taken /conquered!
As far as politics, the Shah wasted time and money, for no good purpose! Thinking himself humble, yet being openly proud!
None so blin, as those who will not see!
This video is extremely biased to be honest. Not sure why no one posts a video about Atefeh Sahaaleh who was raped and executed at 16 years old instead of her rapists. She was raped in prison so badly that she had to crawl on all fours. So as an Iranian forgive me for loving my king who only arrested people who were going to over throw him and instill their own radical government. Forgive me for loving the Shah who only exiled Khomeini when he should have executed him

There is no truth to this documentary because like any other fabricated lies of the nasty regime. Shahanshah was the greatest leader and he had done so much for the country that is beyond saying. That celebration created a huge income for the country through the tourism. After the revolution, the islamic regime and the mullas did nothing but destroying the country and killing innocent people. Making hijab mandatory and stoning women to death on public streets. Islamic regime killed thousands and thousands of young people in the political prisons without any trials. Millions were killed during the war between Iran and Iraq. Mullas really sending young people to the borders and asking them to run in the minefields, telling them that they will go to heaven. If mullas like heaven so much why they did not go to the minefields and why they did not send their own children to the battle. Pahlavi Dynasty build a great modern country with lots of hospitals, universities, mother industries such as car manufacturing and steel of Isfahan, car parts and send young people to Europe and gave them scholarship to build a great future for them and the country and women got the right to vote and work. Pahlavi ended the nasty feudalism system in Iran in 1963 and it is called the White Revolution, The Revolution of The King and The People. Shahanshah was a very educated, humble, kind man who during his short life and reign, had done more than centuries of service for his country and his people. Why this documentary does not reveal all the goodness that Shah brought upon his country and all the crimes and destruction of the islamic regime during the last 43 years of the mullas dictatorship. Mullas stole all the money and killed all the opposition and no one can breathe in Iran. No one has a voice because mullas just kill everyone who dares to say something.
uh, what is O g ? this is english speaking site not some other.
This video is British propaganda and is not in favor of pre-Islamic Iran. It is a propaganda video against the Pahlavi dynasty. The 2500-year celebrations were the most effective and brilliant decision by the then government of Iran; it managed to get Iran on the world map and bring hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue to Iran and its people. The festivity's total cost was around 35 million dollars, but the end result of compounding investments and tourism made Iran the wealthiest and most powerful nation in West Asia and the world!
Somehow the side of the Washinton journalist is absolutely different from everyone's else; on her side, the ceremony was terrible in every way and things didn't turn out well!!! Also, the man who was in prison in Shah's time is NOT living in Iran NOW!!!
The Shah was called the Shah of Persia when I was a child.
His coronation clothes and the carriages look decidedly French to me. Reminds me of Versailles grandeur.
Except in France religion was linked to the king and rejected with the revolution.
From what I remember reading quite a while ago, I believe that nearly everything at Persepolis was French
Who copied whom ? Versailles did not even exist when Persia was so opulent ,think again !
@@user-ke8st8jc1v Versailles was the beginning of the end though. The opulence while the people were starving. What led to the revolution. I think that’s why he made the parallel.
It was well known that the Shah was a big fan of French culture.
I had forgotten all about why the Shah was exiled out of Iran. An Absolute Monarchy never survives forever
IRAN ( Peŕsia in the ancient times) was once a Morarch, ruled by KINGS.... REMEMBER the three MAGI ( 3 kings), who visited the BIRTH of baby Jesus in BETHLEHEM, then gave GIFTS, were from the EAST....Those KINGS were from IRAN, who pay their RESPECT to the BIRTH of a SAVIOUR....and that is CHRISTMAS, the Most wonderful times of the YEAR....
I would have thought you organise such an event with the people of the country or and make the businesses of for country work . Food from France when you have such exquisite food in your own country ....
He was trying to make things better .
The party was to show the history and bring nations together. He should have payed attention to his people and explained why he was throwing the party. By time it was too late .
He shouldnt have seperated people from what they wanted to do. He couldnt control his police as some were corrupt. Innocent people at their hands and telling the shah that they were a threat,etc.
There was aways a plan to bring the clergy back if the shah got too powerful. Its a shame really😢
The history of persia so great, like a fairy tale.
God bless all the iranian innocents from any corrupt power and set them free to live in peace❤
It’s interesting that people criticize the decadence of this party today. Yet, the World Cup being held today is pretty much the same decadence . All over the world Governments do this. Not saying it’s right . What the Iranians have now is the Stone Age compared to where they could’ve been even with the Shah. I get the feeling that Women’s rights was the main problem the clerics had with the Shah. It’s truly sad that people still want to keep women in oppression.
Excellent point!
You are exactly right
Social freedoms, freedom of religion, good life for citizens, right to free education even in university, women's right to vote as the first country, health insurance, home loan. High wages. The people of Iran had everything, but they did not have intelligence. The king's mistake was that he gave everything to the people of Iran, and they thought that this was the king's duty, and the people of Iran should not work at all, they should rest at home and receive money every month. take their oil from the government. With these words, Khomeini encouraged the people to revolution and told the people that he will give free houses to everyone and they will get oil money every month and they don't need to work.
@@SaharKarimy most people were illiterate and life expectancy was mid 50s. Access to healthcare is much better than it was then as is transport infrastructure, maternal and infant mortality rates etc etc
The whole medieval image is what Iranian theocrats want us to have of modern Iran. In fact, the country is much more multifaceted and interesting than that. Women can in fact drive, vote, go to university. As the past year has shown, young Iranians are extremely angry about having old theocrats in charge.
The student revolution truly delivered the country from bad to worse.
The students got played by the Mullahs who have turned out to be more despotic than the Shah ever was.

Reminds me of the woke despots in my country fooling the youth in our universities.
@@jonathanvalverde That's right, these fascists do not care about anyone and anything, the only thing they care about is to fill their pockets with billions of dollars and bring the country to poverty and kill everyone who has a voice.
It delivered the country from good to a nightmare.
An excellent documentary. Historical, factual and informative. Thank you
Even while the Shah made mistakes and had weaknesses, it is true that turn down his rule and replace it with Ayatollahs was a really huge mistake from the West.....🤔
exactly. Yes, in the last 6-7 years of his reign he was stubborn. But there was no revolution needed!!!!
@@sstudyambiente yes....let's say Pahlevi wasn't good anymore to his country, then his son should be named new Sha....turn down the monarchy for the theocracy was a silly thing 😑
@@kaleidoscopio5 .....
he was never with his people. the 70% 80% poor
@@ritagrechi2663 probably. But those 70/80% of poors are better with the Ayathollas or are poor and oppress at the same time? 🤔
This documentary was on TH-cam before and this channel seems to have randomly took it from somewhere and uploaded it as their own lol
🤔uhmmmm
for real😳✌🏾? but then again where did you get this info please? [check not credentials useless ]
@@gracie99999 Because I watched this a long time ago.
Whatever, it’s fascinating!
After all those attention to the Iran, Iran became a famous country and tourism destination, before it no one knew Iran in the world.
Liar,misinformer and slave of the government, have some morality and join people
This was very enlightening and educational. Thank you.

I completely understand with their Iranian people being upset, but where are they now? Are they better off? I’m trying to be sensitive about the situation because I know that there has been a lot of foreign country influence since then and Iranian people continues to struggle.
It's amazing how the country swung from one side to the other. Extremes tend to not serve most people.
Que grandiosa celebracion de los 2500 años del Imperio Persa, y pensar que muchos de los invitados a esa fiesta aun viven. Que joya de documental!!!
"Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings'" No, not really, he did not make this up. This is an ancient title of the Shahs of Iran, from the time that the Persian Empire was so large, that it incorporated many states, whose kings were left in place, but were subordinate to the Shah. Hence "King of Kings". This is exactly the same model Romans used later.
That’s the distinction of an emperor,
How is this any different from the Queen of England’s Platinum Jubilee? Wasn’t that a billion dollars, but it’s all fine when Europeans do it but by all means let’s hate on middle easterners for no reason
The difference is that most English people were fine with the extravagant spending. Most Iranians were obviously not okay with this.
@@maym7809 The English people and the british morachs wealth came from all the countries they colonized. Including the Oil they stole from Iran and when the Shah didn't want to continue the fraudelent consortium treaty of 1953 they did everything in their power to remove him in 1979.
This was exactly why shah was overthrown, the one and only reason!
No matter who says what!
@@Thefire591 Thank you!
Agree, particularly as Queen was unwell & only managed one appearance and I’m English.
So Barbara Walters said Iran was a constitutional Monarchy which gave the Shah full power. That is incorrect. It was an absolute Monarchy. The UK is a constitutional Monarchy. Very different.
It actually was a constitutional monarchy until Mossadegh.
I wonder where all these nonsense come from about Iran which actually was a constitutional monarchy.
It was a constitutional monarchy.
@@poorang900 yes, but one where the Shah still had power
@@paolotorres8537 Just like the king in England.
It is a shame that those who showed up, consumed the food, enjoyed the entertainment and drank to their hearts' content, and fawned on and complimented the Shah for his generosity and hospitality; hardly anyone on that guest list gave a hoot when he was overthrown, homeless and facing destitution. Almost all of them kept a distance from him, refused him hospitality and never took his calls.
We see human nature at its worst. When the Shah was begging for countries to take him in, I wonder if this thought ever crossed his mind. I am sure it did!
@@Zoup009 they don't run their countries..,
Fantastic! Thanks for this. More educational videos on history please
Greetings to the Royal Pahlavi Family, king of kings Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ❤️👑
He reminded us where we came from at least and that is enough to spark an uprising, a revolution in Iran. A Persian Renaissance.
And we also love and appreciate our great queen Sahbanoo Farrah Pahlavi❤
The Shah of Iran was far beyond the intellectual and social capacity of the people of his country and even the world, and he knew precisely that to have a prosperous and prosperous country, one must work and avoid marginalization. For this reason, at a time when the Western governments and the Soviet Union were trying to derail his high-speed train due to the recession by inciting the common people in Iran, he was attacked by treacherous conspiracies of the Westerners and was finally overthrown. But his opponents were and are people who still owe their past and present character to the services of the king and his late father. May his soul rest in peace.

37:53 Hits so hard. God bless this man and his family.
i wasnt born at the time of Shah , but i love this man and i wish my country Iran will have everthing he was providing for us , again !!!!
How do you know what he was providing if you weren’t even born and didn’t live under his rule? Oh right, one sided propaganda fed to you
Iran was the most progressive country during the Sha’s time.
Iranians: “let’s start a revolution “
Now,they’re a basket case. 😬
Such an amazing and intricate documentary. Loved every second of it . Can anyone please list the music that is used in this documentary.
Shah was a gentleman, he left when people didn't want him anymore. He left. Now the Ayatollah is killing and shooting girls and womens on the streets... Such a shameful mistake was the 1979 riots. #Mahsaamini
well this is why I don't support regime change , the people in that country overthrow a brutal western backed dictator and people are tired of revolutions , they want reforms , they don't want regime change or they don't want America and the west imposing western values on the country or imposing a new western dictator
The shah of Iran who was a military dictator supported by the collective west refused to give powers to religious leaders , that created tensions and the climax was a revolutions , he was making alcohol legal , he refused to allow religious leaders on TV and he was a dictator , the people wanted a democracy and that is what they did , they overthrow him and they held elections , even today Iran has elections every 4 years , I don't support the Iran's government , I think its a fanatical government , but I don't support regime change , regime change is the worst possible outcome , it would be a pity and a tragedy
the people that support the Shah of Iran are the 1% , during the shah 1% were very wealthy
The Shah maintained a secret police called “SAVAK”, who tortured & killed so many people that even Jimmy Carter condemned its actions in the ‘70s
Please educate yourself first, before spouting any more of your ignorance
He killed many of people before he scape
@@علیحاجیرضایی-س4ث Khamenei in 1 day killed more people than the Shah did during his entire monarchy.
@@Drizzt-113 Do you know any thing about Savak? they killed thousands of elites and sinless people in prison and street
Interesting to see the 'absence ' of western countries in deciding Iran's fate and the entire middle east actually . The only issue for them really, is either they control the oil / ie the rulers or not . Well right now they dont . And Iran is the major player in the Region . Syria was but since a couple of years , not anymore. Ps: Really funny how France played a double game . Supporting The Shah and hosting Khomeini ...
Iran is a major player yeah sure I remember when they were saying the same about Saddam Hussein until he made the mistake of invading Kuwait and then he found out how irrelevant he was. Iran's current leaders today are clinging to power with a country in chaos best they do not get any crazy ideas beyond their own borders.
All about oil!!
I do not hate the Shah, I hate that by what he presented to the world and the lavish way he lived, cost Iran so much and the people suffered then and now. I do not hate Iran, I hate the suppression/oppression of so many. i no longer think of how it could of been, I think of how it can be, but yet still nothing or not enough. Words still escape me to truly express my feelings about all that has happened, to me and so many.
