In persia, or today's Iran. The ancient Persians are from the province of Pars, they became the rulers of a large empire under the Achaemenid dynasty (Hakhamanesheeyan) in the sixth century BC. They are descendents of the Aryan (Indo-Iranian) tribes that began migrating from Central Asia into what is now Iran in the 2nd millennium BC. ersians can also be found outside of Iran and include the Tajiks and Parsiwan (also known as the Farsiwan) who can be found in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Xinjiang, China while another group called the Tats lives mainly in the Caucasus region concentrated in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russian Dagestan. The Parsis of India and eastern Pakistan are also largely descended from Persian Zoroastrian refugees who fled from Persia following the Arab conquests.

The great Muslim scholar, Ibn Kathir, when discussing the origins of ‘Yajuj wa Ma’juj’ (Gog and Magog) - the people who traditionally inhabited the area between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, which is where the Khazar kingdom was originally situated - in his historical work, Al-Bidayah wa'l-Nihayah (The Beginning and the End), specifically states that "Gog and Magog are two groups of Turks, descended from Yafith (Japheth), the father of the Turks, one of the sons of Noah."

Armenians are a sub-group of Indo-Europeans.  They migrated from the north Caucasus approximately 4500 BC. Armenian people represent their own sub-group in the Indo-European family and are one of the smallest in population.  Other Indo-European groups have their own sub-groups.  Armenians do not.

The "IN" civilization of its day (about 4000 B.C. it is said)! Great dances, written language, innovative societal structure... a people ahead of their time. Possibly the true founders of 'civilization'. They seem to have arrived on the scene fully developed (economically, politically, intellectually) and certainly established themselves in myth and history as the "Ancient Ones", even to those civilizations we consider ancient. Hmmmmm.... where DID they come from?

From Wikipedia(so just count from that time):\n\nAccording to different scholarly histories, Zoroaster lived in the eastern part of present Iran or in Bactria. His dates are contested, but were clearly between the 18th and the 11th centuries BCE (although Plato put Zoroaster in the 64th century BCE). Zoroaster is thought to have composed the Gathas, poems which were assiduously preserved by his followers through centuries of oral transmission, before the whole of the Avesta (in which the Gathas are a central portion) were committed to writing in the Parthian or Sassanian periods. The Gathic dialect is similar to the Vedic dialect of the Rg Veda and thus Zoroaster has sometimes been dated as roughly contemporary to the Rg Veda, normally ascribed to c.1500-1250 BCE

India, actually, not Arabia.  From there, they spread to persia and Arabia at about the same time, and from there to Europe.  They're often referred to as the arabic number system.  Modern arabic numbers and modern European numbers are similar to eachother, but by no means the same.\n\nThe history of numbers is actually quite fascinating.  Some of the numbers we take for granted, like zero, are actually relatively recent inventions.\n\nHere's a great link you might find interesting.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals\n\nHope this helps.

Cyrus the Great (Persian: کوروش کبیر), also Cyrus II of Persia or Cyrus the Elder, (ca. 576 or 590 – July 529 BC), founded the Persian Empire under the Achaemenid Dynasty of Anshan by unifying two Iranian tribes: the Medes and the Persians. In two historical documents discovered in Babylon and Ur Cyrus identifies himself as the "King of Iran". Cyrus is the first king whose name was suffixed with the word "Great" (or Vazraka in Old Persian, Bozorg in modern Persian), a title adopted by his Acheamenid successors as well as by Alexander the Great who overthrew the Achaemenid dynasty two centuries later.\nCyrus, the son of a Persian king named Cambyses I and a Mede princess, was from the Achaemenid Dynasty, which ruled the kingdom of Anshan, in what is now southwestern Iran. The founder of the dynasty was King Achaemenes (ca. 700 BC) who was succeeded by his son Teispes of Anshan. Inscriptions indicate that when the latter died, two of his sons shared the throne as Cyrus I of Anshan and Ariaramnes of Persia. They were succeeded by their respective sons Cambyses I of Anshan and Arsames of Persia. Cambyses is considered by Herodotus and Ctesias to be of humble origin. But they also consider him as being married to Princess Mandane of Media (ماد), a daughter of Astyages, King of the Medes and Princess Aryenis of Lydia. Cyrus II was the result of this union. Cyrus had two sons: Cambyses and Smerdis, as well as several daughters, of whom Atossa is significant since she married Darius the Great and was mother of Xerxes I of Persia.\nIn 559 BC, Cyrus succeeded his father Cambyses the Elder as King of Anshan. He apparently also soon managed to succeed Arsames to the throne of Persia though the latter was still living. Arsames was father of Hystaspes and would live to see his grandson become King Darius I of Persia. However, Cyrus was not yet an independent ruler. Like his predecessors before him, Cyrus had to recognize Median overlordship.\n\nIn his Histories, Herodotus gives a detailed description of the rise to power of Cyrus according to the best sources available to him. The story of Cyrus' early life found in the Histories, it should be noted, resembles other legendary accounts that form a particular genre of tales in which abandoned children of noble birth inevitably return to claim their royal positions - such as those of Oedipus or Romulus and Remus. According to Herodotus, Cyrus was said to be part-Persian (Parsua) and part Mede and his overlord was his own grandfather Astyages who had conquered all Assyrian kingdoms apart from Babylonia. After the birth of Cyrus, Astyages had a dream that his Magi interpreted as a sign of an eventual overthrow by his grandson. He then ordered his steward Harpagus to kill the infant Cyrus. Harpagus, morally unable to kill a newborn, summoned a herdsman of the king named Mithridates and ordered him to dispose of the child. Troubled by this command, Mithridates confided in his wife Cyno. Cyno, who had recently given birth to a stillborn baby, told her husband to expose their dead child to the elements while they took Cyrus to raise as their own. Mithridates then presented the stillborn to Harpagus as proof that the task had been accomplished. Many years later, when Astyages discovered that his grandson was still alive, he ordered that the son of Harpagus be beheaded and served to his father on a dinner platter. Harpagus, seeking vengeance, convinced Cyrus, who by then was living with his noble, biological parents, to rally the Persian people -- then in a state of vassalage to the Medes -- to revolt ca. 554 BC–553 BC. Between 550 BC–549 BC, with the help of Harpagus, Cyrus led the Persians and his armies to capture Ecbatana, and effectively conquered Media. While he seems to have accepted the crown of Media, by 546 BC he had officially assumed the title of 'King of Persia'. Thus the Persians gained dominion over the Iranian Plateau.\nCyrus' wars

I have no problems with Persians. They are unfortunate in living under a medieval theocracy who deny basic human rights to the people especially women.

The riddle of the sphinx comes from ancient Greek mythology.  Remember everything originates from the Greek.\n\nI am assuming that you don't really want the answer and only want to know where the riddle came from.
