Decadence and Downfall In Iran: The Greatest Party In History | Real Stories
Фильм және анимация
In 1971, the Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings', celebrated 2,500 years of the Persian monarchy by throwing the greatest party in history. Money was no object - a lavish tent city, using 37km of silk, was erected in a specially created oasis. The world's top restaurant at the time, Maxim's, closed its doors for two weeks to cater the event, a five-course banquet served to over sixty of the world's kings, queens and presidents, and washed down with some of the rarest wines known to man.
Over a decadent five-day period, guests were treated to a pageant of thousands of soldiers dressed in ancient Persian costume, a 'son et lumiere' at the foot of Darius the Great's temple, and the opening of the Azadi Tower in Tehran, designed to honour the Shah himself.
Every party leaves a few hangovers. This one left a country reeling, never to recover. It crystallised the opposition, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. More than any other event, this party marked the break between the king of kings and the people of Iran he reigned over. A Storyville documentary.

I was travelling overland in 1977, and for 1 month, through Iran . I was amazed how warm and friendly the people were, how happy and liberated the country was compared to Afghanistan, which I arrived from. Only old women would wear a vale. I never saw beggars in the street. I remember, buildings going up everywhere and instead of building a road around a mountain,there was a tunnel through a mountain many kilometres long. It was impressive. Now we have one of the most violent and delusional governments, being the major sponsor of terrorism. Congratulations to and long live the women of Iran and their quest for freedom.

Yes we were on our way getting closer to becoming a developed country. But leftists and Islamist couldn't let it happen. They started doing many terroristic actions to unstable the country and the king had to put them in jail then they began crying and saying he was cruel to put them in jail and Europe and UN and later even USA started to take their side. Now we are miserable and our Islamic leftist Regime sponsor terrorists all around the world and yet leftist from every were tell us the king was bad.

It would be very interesting to have a comparison between all the improvements during the Pahlavi Dynasty and all that mullas destruction in Iran. The comparison will be horrendous. Millions were killed during the war of Iran and Iraq and also thousands were killed in the political prisons. Country was destroyed by mullas and that was not enough for them so they started killing the oppositions outside of the country for example Fereydoun Farrokhzad who was savagely killed by the Islamic spies in his apartment. Shame on the Islamic government of Iran who are nothing but criminals and they all have to be accountable for all their crimes. Thank you again Sahar for your information.

The Shah of Iran was imperfect. His rule had serious defects. But he also did good things. Iran under the Shah was much better than under the Mulahs (5,000 political prisoners became 45 million). The scale of the Persepolis event was pure follie. Especially in a country with a 50% poverty rate but many leaders and governments are guilty of obscene spending. Iran's future was brighter under a modernist. Now Iran is a cultural, scientific, religious, technological, military and political outcast; a backwater and the greatness of the Persian people and their once magnificent culture and civilisation is buried under religious dogma and hidden behind international isolation.

The 2500-year celebrations were the most effective and brilliant decision by the then government of Iran; it managed to get Iran on the world map and bring hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue to Iran and its people. The festivity's total cost was around 35 million dollars, but the end result of compounding investments and tourism made Iran the wealthiest and most powerful nation in West Asia and the world!

Why crying sissy? The shah is a great corrupt person, exploiting the wealth of the Iranian people for his extravagance. The time of empires is over. As for the current Iranian government, it is religious extremism to the highest degree, but it has a project that rejects American dictates.
Shah worked very hard to end poverty in Iran. They gave nutritious food to children in schools all over the country. They gave free fridges and stoves to poor people so they can survive. There were extensive plans to provide healthcare, clean water, and education to everybody. He couldn't finish what he had started because they didn't let him. I went to Persepolis, Shiraz as a child and later, It seemed very safe and not out of the way at all, many people were there. Persians need accurate information about our history. Shah and his father the Great Reza Shah were amazing people who improved Iran significantly.

Pahlavi Dynasty build a great modern country with lots of hospitals, universities, mother industries such as car manufacturing and steel of Isfahan, car parts and send young people to Europe and gave them scholarship to build a great future for them and the country and women got the right to vote and work. Pahlavi ended the nasty feudalism system in Iran in 1963 and it is called the White Revolution, The Revolution of The King and The People. Shahanshah was a very educated, humble, kind man who during his short life and reign, had done more than centuries of service for his country and his people. Why this documentary does not reveal all the goodness that Shah brought upon his country and all the crimes and destruction of the islamic regime during the last 43 years of the mullas dictatorship.

Very true, if you watch one of the last interviews of Shahanshah, he mentioned his great projects for the improvements in all aspects of modernization and making Iran a very powerful country and that was very scary for some to hear. Not only jealousy but also the fear of loosing their profits and control in the region. British government interfered a lot in the region and they supported mullas. Mullas love Britain and Britain loves mullas
Outstanding! At the end you are left wandering in what ways things would be different now - neither for better or for worst - just different - had this party never taken place. Great cautionary tale about the narcissistic trappings of power and status and the enormous consequences and repercussions these can have on the historical footprint we leave behind us.

This documentary is produced and sponsored by the nasty government of the islamic mullas and their paid actors and liars. There is no truth to this documentary because like any other fabricated lies of the nasty regime. Shahanshah was the greatest leader and he had done so much for the country that is beyond saying. That celebration created a huge income for the country through the tourism. After the revolution, the islamic regime and the mullas did nothing but destroying the country and killing innocent people. Making hijab mandatory and stoning women to death on public streets. Islamic regime killed thousands and thousands of young people in the political prisons without any trials. Millions were killed during the war between Iran and Iraq. Mullas really sending young people to the borders and asking them to run in the minefields, telling them that they will go to heaven. If mullas like heaven so much why they did not go to the minefields and why they did not send their own children to the battle. Pahlavi Dynasty build a great modern country with lots of hospitals, universities, mother industries such as car manufacturing and steel of Isfahan, car parts and send young people to Europe and gave them scholarship to build a great future for them and the country and women got the right to vote and work.

Shahanshah was the best leader and king that Iran ever had. He built hospitals, schools, universities and he created a modern and great country for all the Iranians. The amount of money that he spent for that celebration was money well spent to demonstrate the history of Iran and the entire world understanding that who was Cyrus the Great and his message for the humanity. Whoever is saying something against the greatest efforts of Shahanshah of Iran is either paid by the mollahs or works for the mollahs. The greatest time of Iran was during Pahlavi. Everyone loved him. Every child in every school was given free food. Shahanshah had done so much for Iran that's beyond saying. All was demolished after the mass hypnosis Islamic dictatorship.

The festivity's total cost was around 35 million dollars, but the end result of compounding investments and tourism made Iran the wealthiest and most powerful nation in West Asia and the world!

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." --Percy Bysshe Shelley

This documentary is produced and sponsored by the nasty government of the islamic mullas and their paid actors and liars. There is no truth to this documentary because like any other fabricated lies of the nasty regime. Shahanshah was the greatest leader and he had done so much for the country that is beyond saying. That celebration created a huge income for the country through the tourism. After the revolution, the islamic regime and the mullas did nothing but destroying the country and killing innocent people. Making hijab mandatory and stoning women to death on public streets. Islamic regime killed thousands and thousands of young people in the political prisons without any trials. Millions were killed during the war between Iran and Iraq. Mullas really sending young people to the borders and asking them to run in the minefields, telling them that they will go to heaven. If mullas like heaven so much why they did not go to the minefields and why they did not send their own children to the battle. Pahlavi Dynasty build a great modern country with lots of hospitals, universities, mother industries such as car manufacturing and steel of Isfahan, car parts and send young people to Europe and gave them scholarship to build a great future for them and the country and women got the right to vote and work. Pahlavi ended the nasty feudalism system in Iran in 1963 and it is called the White Revolution, The Revolution of The King and The People. Shahanshah was a very educated, humble, kind man who during his short life and reign, had done more than centuries of service for his country and his people. Why this documentary does not reveal all the goodness that Shah brought upon his country and all the crimes and destruction of the islamic regime during the last 43 years of the mullas dictatorship. Mullas stole all the money and killed all the opposition and no one can breathe in Iran. No one has a voice because mullas just kill everyone who dares to say something.

The Shah gave education and emancipation to Muslim women, put Iran in the 21 st century, and made Iran a country ahead of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Iran was on his way to become a 1st world country. Now, they are desperate. Well, go and ask your parents and grandparents, they should give you the freedom they took away from you.
Shah and his father were two jewels for Iran that Iranian people didn’t know their value at that time . SHAH was the best for Iran 💚🤍❤️
Somehow the side of the Washinton journalist is absolutely different from everyone's else; on her side, the ceremony was terrible in every way and things didn't turn out well!!! Also, the man who was in prison in Shah's time is NOT living in Iran NOW!!!
