Ethnic diversity of Iran

Cyrus Shahmiri, Fars Province was a cradle of ancient persian state and home of ancient indo-european tribes. Can you ilustrate any photograph with Fars nature? Does it snowing during winter there?  As I now it`s mountain range.

I should also mention that different ethnic groups live in Fars province, some of them have a mixed ethnicity, like Qashqai nomads who speak a Turkic language:

Cyrus, what do you think of this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khwarezm (please look at the "Runestone!", citing the assertation that some "Viking" once traveled there, or resided there, etc.!

You may or may not know that the above group were also known as "Charismians?" And, "charisma" has a particular meaning and well could be attached to many Christian Groups.

"The Fifth Crusade was
preached by Iimocent III. in 1215, and the cross was
taken b.v Andrew II. of Hungary (1217) and by the
Emperor Frederick II. (1220). Frederick II. was excom-
municated by Pope Gregory IX. for delaying to take the
field, and in con.sequence could not i>revail uiwn the
Military Orders to fight under him. But he contrived
to obtain the cession of .Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and
Nazareth, and in 1229 crowned himself King of Jeru-
salem. In 12-14. however, the Templars and Hos-
pitallers were defeated by the Charismians. allies of the
Sultan of Egypt, and Jerusalem was sacked."

For more sources see; http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBR_enUS315US315&q=charismians+iran

And, it seems the name/word "Charis" can be found to mean "Grace!"
See; http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Charis

Thus anyone having the aspect of "One with Grace", meaning "Blessing of God", etc., might call themselves as "Charismatics?"

For Christians we might well accept the meaning found here?:

But, what about the "Huns?"

Can you connect the English word "charisma" or "Charismians" with "Khwarezm" or "Khwarezmians?", etc.?

Is there any connection to IndoEuropean?, to Sanskrit, etc.?

Note you can move this to a more convienient area if it will work better there!

Dear "the Great", of course it is! I never challegned that factoid! I meant to discover if the English version is directly connected to the "Hunnish" one via meaning!

By the way, just why do you think that the Germans, in two world wars were sometimes refered to as "Huns?"

Originally posted by Cryptic Studying these photos confirms my non scientific personal theory about blond hair.   Blond hair was brought to Europe by Iranian Aryans (the historical kind, not the NAZI kind) in pre historic times.  In these times, northeren Europe was a very isolated, backwater part of the world. The blond genes became the majority since further intermarriage was rare.   Meanwhile, Iran became a crossroads of world trade and intermarriage with other peoples was common.  As a result, blond hair amongst Iranian peoples became less common.
