[edit] Mistake

I apologize for the error. Please either delete this article or convert the title from "Asanians" to "Sassanians". It would be nice to have a page that discusses specifically about the Persian Sassanians (even though the Sassanid Empire article has a plethora of information). Just so readers know, I found the word "Asanians" on the Names of the Greeks article. Thank you. Over and out. - Deucalionite May 11, 2006 1:20 P.M. EST

[edit] Kurdish tribe

Is there any proof for this claim?! In addition to the fact that the word "Barzang" is an East-Iranian word (barezayå, barezâ, barezanghat - 9 (G) f. height; a mountain (k369)), there is no information about this clan in the Encyclopaedia Iranica: [1]. Instead, the word "Bartangi" is linked to Eastern Iranian languages [2]. I think someone has confused the name "Barzangi" with the Kurdish tribe "Barzani" [3].

I found the mistake. The dynasty was called "Bazrangi" and NOT "Barzangi" ... and they were not Kurdish either. Tajik 19:01, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Part of the content if this article is completely untrue and made up

This article completely lacks of sources. The content «By the end of the 1st century BC, most of the islands of East Africa were annexed by the Bazrangids. These islands entailed Socotra, Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia, Combolo/Comoros and Madagascar.» is completely untrue and made up.

About Iranian peoples in East Africa during pre-Islamic times: «No remains which show any Roman, or pre-Islamic South Arabian, influence have been found. It cannot conclusively be shown that any of the reputed finds of Hellenistic or Roman coins were mede in situ in Africa; the excavations by J.S. Kirkman at Ras Mkumbuu (Ndagoni) on Pemba Island, the only reputerd find-spot investigated archaeologically, make it almost certain that the coins supposed to have come frome that place did not in fact do so.
