External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Zhayedan. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20150417082955/http://books.google.bg/books?id=aQspOf291_cC&printsec=frontcover&hl=bg to http://books.google.bg/books?id=aQspOf291_cC&printsec=frontcover&hl=bg#v=onepage&q=Zhayedan&f=false

Name and existence?[edit]

Reading [1], the name Zhayedan seems to be particular to a single author (Farrokh; in [1] footnote 57 is a 400 word-listing of different names given by different authors) and the existence of an imitation of the Achaemenid 'Immortals' is apparently not well-attested and may be a Graeco-Roman invention. I'm not familiar enough with WP policy to determine what to do about this, but a note to this effect should probably appear somewhere on the page.

Immortals (Sassanian Empire)[edit]

Should it be moved to "Immortals (Sassanian Empire)"? Zhayedan is a bit confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryzad (talk • contribs) 12:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
