So very interesting ..it’s like all the missing bits of my knowledge of history are found

[k-bn]

a big chatty hodgepodge. At no place does he explain how exactly which idea moves in which direction. Does not show much of the much needed historical method.

Very weak book. I'm very disappointed by his lack of information about Afghanistan and persia. There is not a single evidence about the existence of persian empire in persian history books and scripts. Persian empire has never ruled in Afghanistan. The other fact the today's persian language stammes from Afghanistan or the old Khorasan and Iran has always been part of Khorasan (Afghanistan) except the two dynasties (sasanid and safavid). Safavid is where iran got like indipendent after the fall of last great Khorasan empire, (Timurid Herat). Persian language stammes from cities of Herat (Aria) and Balkh (Bactria). As an Afghan I'm very disappointed about the fact that Iranians have brainwashed the world and also the less effort the world has put to find out what the truth is.
