Explain to me how the Persian empire were Barbarians.
From what I understand their way of governance was quite complex, especially compared to the city state way of the Greeks and was more akin to modern European governance of provinces. They certainly had tonnes of culture and were no were near as "barbaric" as England and France was at this time.
Are you arguing with someone or ...?
They weren't barbarians. They have an ancient history of statecraft. One of the oldest in the world in fact.
Hey Jason, when are you and Richard putting on another conference?

IIRC Germans were the original barbarians, the term derives from their language sounding like "bar bar bar bar" to the Romans. It's similar to how the chinese language sounds all ching chong to us.

Barbarian from the greek barbaros
Basicly mean people who talk without meaning...
Greek = Bar Bar Bar
English = Blah Blah Blah
They were non-white tho.

Thermopylae you pleb. Persians didn't even have a uniform civilization they had a heterogeneous empire that lacked the backbone of the Greek polis. Achaeans were far culturally, scientifically, technologically, strategically, and morally superior to the Persians in every way. It's remarkable just that they were able to fend the Persians off that much. The only way the Persians were able to outmatch them was brute force in numbers, which is the definition of barbarism.
No retard, definition of barbarianism is racism and greeks were racist. Persians were culturally superior.
