@GottaLaff
This goes beyond his usual pointless stupidity.

Renaming the #GulfOfMexico was instigated b/c he's a #racist f--k, and renaming the "#Persian" Gulf to the "#ArabianGulf" was likely spurred by his Saudi friends informing him "#Persia" was the original name of #Iran.

But beyond #CaptBoneSpurs, wiping out the name of "The Persian Gulf", it also eradicates/dismisses the place of death for thousands of American troops (that I assume would no longer appear on any map.)

Are ther any #persian speakers on Mastodon who can help tell me if github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro looks correct at all?

I have no experience with the language, barely know what it's supposed to look like, so I can't tell 😅

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to take a minute to look!

Is there any connection to the fediverse possible from within Iran?
I have a good friend there who is a gifted photographer. She uses Instagram, but when I leave I'll lose that contact. She's on Signal, but I wondered about here.
But I can't find any information about Mastodon and Iran (except for an actual one they discovered there). She does use a VPN (of course).
Please boost as I don't imagine many know the answer to that question. But surely someone must.

🔴 **491 BC - 1902 AD - A Long Time Between Drinks**

_“ In 499 BC, the Persian Achaemenid Empire tried unsuccessfully to conquer various ancient Greek city-states. Finally in 449 BC a de facto peace was concluded and the Greco-Persian Wars effectively ended. In 1902, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah of Persia and George I of Greece agreed to de jure recognition and after 2393 years established diplomatic relations. This of course ignores a long history of Greco-Persian interactions thereafter throughout Antiquity, not least the Peace of Antalcidas, the conquests of Alexander the Great and the Seleucid Empire, or even the long history of the Byzantine-Persian wars.”_

🔴 📖 Yahwism under the Achaemenid Empire

"...brings together scholars of Achaemenid history, literature and religion, Iranian linguistics, historians of the Ancient Near East, archeologists, biblical scholars and Semiticists. The goal is to better understand the interchange of ideas, expressions and concepts as well as the experience of historical events between Yahwists and the empire that ruled over them for over two centuries."

De GruyterYahwism under the Achaemenid EmpireThe Achaemenid period (550–330 BCE) is rightly seen as one of the most formative periods in Judaism. It is the period in which large portions of the Bible were edited and redacted and others were authored—yet no dedicated interdisciplinary study has been undertaken to present a consistent picture of this decisive time period. This book is dedicated to the study of the touchpoints between Yahwistic communities throughout the Achaemenid empire and the Iranian attributes of the empire that ruled over them for about two centuries. Its approach is fundamentally interdisciplinary. It brings together scholars of Achaemenid history, literature and religion, Iranian linguistics, historians of the Ancient Near East, archeologists, biblical scholars and Semiticists. The goal is to better understand the interchange of ideas, expressions and concepts as well as the experience of historical events between Yahwists and the empire that ruled over them for over two centuries. The book will open up a holisitic perspective on this important era to scholars of a wide variety of fields in the study of Judaism in the Ancient Near East.

interesting side note: the decline of #vultures led to a crisis in a religious community

some of you know of the #parsis in #india, the #zoroastrians of ancient #persia

they practice sky burial: the parsis say burying or cremation pollutes nature, the bodies must go to the air

the towers of silence is where the parsis would put their dead, and they would be mostly consumed by vultures

but suddenly all the vultures that the parsis relied on for centuries, vanished
