Today I learned, thanks to a documentary about the routinely-forgotten Persian Empire (circa 500 B.C.), that they gave us the word "paradise". It was Persian for "enclosed garden" and the Persians were the first guys to lay out gardens for reasons of aesthetic pleasure alone. Given how popular gardening is today, it was interesting to me at least, to learn where it all began. Also clear from the program: the pre-Islamic ancient Persians were way cooler than the hardline religious yoke that Iran currently lives under.
