Not a 'totally awesome' object in the perspective
of a non-archaeologist like myself...,
but who were those people, the Sassanians?
It seems to me, based on the reference below that they were a nation at
least equal in level of civilization to the Byzantine Romans, possibly
also grown soft and 'over-civilized' like our 'Western Civilization',
who thus succumbed to the 'terrorist barbarians at their gates'
and/or 'Islamic Jihad'.
