    Iranic Settlers of Europe

    Iranic Settlers of Europe

    This is the link to my new talk simulcast on my 'Persian Version' podcast and Jeff Lippman's excellent 'Garden of Doom'  podcast, on the subject of my upcoming book and documentary project,  currently in development, about the far too little discussed colonization of Europe by Northern-Iranic peoples such as the Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Roxalans, Iaziges, Aorsi, and Jasz.

    We discuss the migrations and settlement of large parts of Eastern, Central, and Western Europe by these ethnically, linguistically and culturally Iranian peoples during the decline and fall of the Western  Roman Empire.

    We also get into the influence of these Iranic settlers on the material,  literary, folkloric, artistic, cultural and genetic heritage of Medieval  Europe, including their contributions to the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table as well as to such medieval Romances as Tristan & Iseult, based on the older Parthian era Iranian story of Vis & Ramin.

    The Persian Version on 'The Garden of Doom' Podcast

    The Persian Version on 'The Garden of Doom' Podcast

    Dear members, this is an interview with me that just aired on Jeff Lippman's very interesting podcast series:

    "The Garden of Doom."

    Our conversation is about a range of topics including the origin and migrations of the Indo-Iranian Aryan peoples who were originally a part of the larger Indo-European ethnolinguistic family.

    We discuss the development of the theology, cosmology and ethics of Iran's  Avestan, Zoroastrian, and Mithraic traditions as well as the historic influence of these concepts on the Abrahamic religions of Judaism,  Christianity and Islam.

    The North-Iranian origins of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; my conversation with Dr. Linda Malcor about her book 'From Scythia to Camelot'

    The North-Iranian origins of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; my conversation with Dr. Linda Malcor about her book 'From Scythia to Camelot'

    I'm delighted and honoured to bring you my first podcast discussion with Dr Linda Malcor, co-author of

    'From Scythia to Camelot'

    This revolutionary book meticulously demonstrates that the core of the European stories of 'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table', Camelot and the Holy Grail is not entirely  Gaelic, Celtic, or Ango-Saxon but North-Iranian!

    The scholarly yet revolutionary book argues that many of these stories were brought to Western Europe by ethnolinguistically and culturally  Iranian (i.e. Aryan), semi-nomadic chain mail armoured, equestrian peoples, such as the Sarmatians, Alans, Roxalans, Iaziges, Aorsi and others who migrated westward from their home on the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black Sea and settled much of Western Europe, including Britain during the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire.

    Persian, not Farsi!

    Persian, not Farsi!

    In previous episodes we discussed how the name Iran, not Persia is actually the historic and correct name of the Iranian nation and civilization. 

    However, in this episode I’ll be making the case that when it comes to referring to the Persian language, the correct word in English is in fact Persian, not Farsi. Farsi is only the correct word--when you're speaking in Persian.

    --A. Darius Kamali
