[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Look twit, it's not based soley on Xenophon but all the Greek sources as well as Assyrian and Egyptian. The Indo-European speaking Persians and their Mede kinsmen are fair-skinned people whereas the indigenous Elamites were not. It's as simple as that. The Persian Empire was a large multi-ethnic, multi-national group. [/QUOTE]No need to resort to insults because you been asked for proper citation, sourced quotes, rather than "take my word for it" + name drops So far you have only mentioned one quote from Xenophon which is contemporary to classical Persia which describes some captured "barbarians" as white-skinned Where are the other quotes? Where did the "white skinned" Persians originate? And looking at the Frieze of the Archers if those are not Persians but instead Elamites are you basing it solely on them having dark skin that makes them Elamites? And if the are Elamites why do numerous Persians depicted in the Persepolis reliefs have the exact same facial features and hair yet one group is indigenous and the other isn't?
