EXCELLENT
by galaxy on Thu Nov 18, 2010 10:48 AM PSTIn a word: EXCELLENT
در يک کلمه: عاليه
همچنين در يکی از نکته ها، دوستی مايل بود که مجسمهُ کوروش را بدون ريش ببيند؛ خوب کافيست که به اين هنرمند شخصاً سفارش ويژه ای بدهد؛ و اگر منظور اين بوده که کوروش ريشو نبوده، شايد آن زمان استفادهُ روزانه از تيغ ژيلت متداول نبوده است؛ و دوست ديگری شکوه کرده بود که چرا اين کوروش روئين تن نيست، اين دوست نيز می تواند سفارش مجسمه ای از هرکول بدهد٠
I would say atleast 60-70%.
by Parthianshot91 on Thu Oct 21, 2010 05:52 PM PDTI would say atleast 60-70%. Shirazis all look like Cyrus the great, lol, so do many people from Mazandaran and Golestan.

by HHH on Wed Oct 20, 2010 09:29 PM PDTReally.
We might be related :) I like to know how many of the ancestors of the 4-5million people who lived in Kourosh's Persia still live in today's Iran. My guess is 15 million from today's 75mil. The rest are later immigrants from North, Arabia, Babylonia, Ottomans, Assyrians, Macedonians, Indians and more from Northwest.
Let's portray Cyrus
by statira on Wed Oct 20, 2010 10:19 AM PDTthe same way the western world portray Alexander and Cleopatra. Alexaneder's original painting which was painted by people who werent Greeks, shows him a very ordinary and not very attractive greek looking guy.But his statues which was made by the Greeks shows him in a very different way( much more attractive than he actually was). Cleopatra as her original coins shows, was not anything near a beautiful face. Why is it that Elizabeth Taylor played her?
For Cyrus the great, even if we try to show the face of Iranians why cant we show the face of a handsome Iranian man? I think the sketch looks like Ahmadinejad and the staute looks like Khamenei.( the worst faces of Iran).

Thanks Parthianshot91
by Maryam Hojjat on Wed Oct 20, 2010 06:43 AM PDTgreat response to Payam.
Payam, Cyrus is the face of your average
by Parthianshot91 on Tue Oct 19, 2010 09:24 PM PDTCyrus the great has the typical Iranian/Persian look and features.
Payam, I know you're being sarcastic, but here's some info for everyone just in case. Most of our people were never nordic (Northern European looking), not saying there weren't/aren't any blue eyed or blonde haired people amonsgt us, just that they were never a majority and they were never the original Iranians//Persian. If Iranics/Persians are related to any europeans at all it's to the Mediterranean and latins of Europe (Italians, Spaniards, Greeks etc..) the Nordic (Blonde haired blued eyed) Persians are a myth created by the nazis.
Further more, most of the Iranian guys I've met and known looked like direct decendants of Cyrus the great, Darius, Shapour, or Babak Khorramdin, all with thick eybrows, straight nose and sharp features basically. Arabs do not have these features what so ever, and they resemble camels more than anything oddly.

by AMIR1973 on Tue Oct 19, 2010 09:16 PM PDTBut regardless, my cyrus fetish is so overwhelming that i cannot resist but to buy this statue and with slight bit of shame, show it off to my friends.
Based on your comments on this blog, it does appear that you have a fetish alright. But I don't think it's a "Cyrus fetish". Rather, you appear to have a "race fetish". If I am wrong, then my apologies. Regards.
What a shame, I thought he'd be white with blond hair!
by payam s on Tue Oct 19, 2010 09:04 PM PDTYou know like an "Aryan". I thought he would look like the greek or roman characters in western movies, like Brad pit in Troy. Didn't know he was a hairy middle-eastern from Jonoob. Didn't the Arabs invade us after Cyrus? Then why does he look like an Arab prior to the invasion? I thought we Aryans were blue eyed, blond haired, tall and sexy and we turned all ugly and hairy after arabs came and. . . Again, I thought we were sexy like white Anglo-European fashion models, but who also happened to also be majestic (but heterosexual) warriors who would never give into the flirtatious greeks. This is such a disappointment. But regardless, my cyrus fetish is so overwhelming that i cannot resist but to buy this statue and with slight bit of shame, show it off to my friends. At least the statue has no colors, so as to suggest we are anything but white aryans. I can still identify with my aryan roots due to the colorlessness of this statue. Kind of like how persian women dye their hair to identify with their roots (white people).
statira is correct
by Parthianshot91 on Tue Oct 19, 2010 08:11 PM PDTI don't like how they draw him. This pic //cyrusthegreat.alremo.com/ is absolutely awsome though, and I advise every Iranian to take a look at it, cause it represents the true face of the Iranian/Persian race.

by onlyinamrica on Tue Oct 19, 2010 06:51 PM PDTWhat do you think the average age or life expectancy was 2500 years ago even for a busy king like Koresh kabir?
During the era of the San Francisco’s earthquake, the average life expectancy for men in US was 47 and women around 50. I heard that in a documentary about an old film that was taken in San Francisco, days before the massive earthquake. That should give you a measure.
Very interesting!
by Benyamin on Tue Oct 19, 2010 05:11 PM PDTGood job.
God bless him.
Blessed be
by SamSamIIII on Tue Oct 19, 2010 03:08 PM PDTthe hand & blessed be the thought. Great effort. The sketch is an A-and the statue is a B- , yet with your talent I,m sure you could do CTG justice to refine it a bit more to be a more deserving tribute to the true light of Aryans, hand of God, founder of true Iran & prince of Kiaan; Cyrus of Anshan. In view of thousands of statues honoring thousands of dime a dozen stateless midget Arabo-shaikhak icons of mediocracy it was about time that we finally see ignorance interrupted to acknowledge true Iran's most sacred icon in the field of sculpture.
God speed & best of luck!
Cheers!!!

Cyrus sketch and statue
by statira on Tue Oct 19, 2010 02:44 PM PDTlook like Khamenei. Why do they always portray Cyrus like an old, unattractive, hairy man? Cyrus made all his conquests in his late 20 and early 30s. He was killed when he was still in his forty and young. I would buy the statue if it was made younger and more attractive.
