... world was Cyrus. Mowllana Abul Kalam Azad told AS about Cyrus. It seems, unfortunately, that the Cyrus the world is proud of is not known in Persia, because Mullahs have overreacted to what seems to be the depiction of Cyrus in one of Islam's holy books, confusing him with Alexander. Alexander had a hairstyle curved like 2 horns, as did Cyrus. In Daniel 8:6 : and he came to the ram with two horns'. The last word in Hebrew is Karanaim': krnym. In Arabic it is Zialgharein or Zelgarne or Zelranain. Mullahs have for 1300 years suppressed Iranian nationalism against Islam. Many Arab and Persian scholars have referred to Zelranain ...

... the crescent revolves around the god, its alternating positions above and below or to the right and the left of the god denoting specific phases in the cycle of an archaic day. From this behavior, we will find a full and complete explanation of various mythical creatures and objects (such as the cosmic ship, the bull of heaven and horned summit of the world mountain), known to have their reference in a crescent, but always behaving in ways that flatly contradict lunar behavior. Hence, the mysterious crescent can provide numerous, highly specific tests of our model against the entire historical record. Spiral of Life-Breath There is another enigmatic symbol every bit as common as the crescent ...

It will suffice to take these pearls of nonwisdom one by one and expose them to the harsh light of reality. So let us persevere and not be discouraged.
