When I started reading The Histories documents, right away what caught my attention was the fact that Persians followed some custom that I thought it would be different. For example, they had no image of the gods and no temples or altars. When I read that they had no image of the goos, I quickly started asking myself questions and why they did not? As I continued with the reading I learned that they did not believe in the gods to have the same nature as human beings. I wondered why this was their way of thinking and then I remembered that not everyone views something the same way. I learned that the people who wishes to sacrifice brings in the victim to a spot of ground that is pure. The way that they would process this, I thought to myself that it was absolutely weird! and crazy.
A little side note after reading this is that I would actually want to see how they would do all of this like step by step and how to me is something crazy, but not to them.
