Persian Empire stuff.

A famous mosaic of Alexander the Great fighting the Persian Emperor Darius.
Alexander landed in Asia Minor in 334 BC. His armies quickly swept through Lydia, Phoenicia, and Egypt, before defeating Darius III at Gaugamela (331 BC) and capturing the capital at Susa.

After the fall of the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great kept expanding his Macedonian Empire out to India, 334-323 BC.

But before this catastrophe happened, the Persian Empire united people and kingdoms from every major civilization in south West Asia and North East Africa.

Fuck yeah, Alexander the Great! He totally owned those barbarians and showed them some good old Western supremacy.

they BECAME sandniggers after the islamification of the area is more correct I think. Either that or they've always been said niggers. Though I remember my history prof at college saying something about persians being of aryan descendant or something like that.

You are quite correct. They were Indo-Iranian - Aryan.

There are still some places in Iran and India Persians cling to their old culture.

Google Farrokh Bulsara
He was one of them
