That looks brilliant

Where is that airing? I love it!

But you are right. It was the one major inaccuracy within that film -- otherwise, R. L. Fox did a pretty nice job. But, really, that was a pretty big misconception with the depiction of Medes, Persians, Ferghanans, Skythians, etc etc etc. They might be of a somewhat darker complexion than Germanics or Celts, but they certainly don't look Semitic. Sigh
