Mani1 claims that most people of the city speak Persian. I have removed it, unless we can be pointed to a source of the claim. This is rather important since we wan't to make sure we don't sacrifice accuracy in favor of one kind of nationalism or another. roozbeh 13:05, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)

HAMEDAN NOT HAMADAN

hamedan in correct and hamadan is incorrect

all people of hamedan city speak persian

but in the north part of province their languages is -torki- and in the south of hamedan province their language is -lori-

Whoever wrote "Hamedan" is correct not "Hamadan". You need to educate yourself a little better about this subject. "Hamedan" is Turkish corruption of "Hamadan", in the same way that "Azer" is Turkish corruption of "Azar". But the name "Hamadan" is directly from "Hagmatana" and that is from Old Persian, and there is no confusions or doubts about this fact in scholarship.

I also removed the claim that the tomb of "Esther and Mordechai" is in Hamadan, for obvious reasons. First and foremost, Eshter and Mordechai do not exist in any authentic historical documents other than religious texts of the Jews. Even many Jewish scholars accept that the story is probably a didactic one and not an actual historical event. There has been extensive academic debate on this subject and there is no evidence to prove the historical authenticity of the story of Esther. Secondly, even if the story of Esther was true, on what basis is it claimed that their tombs are in the city of Hamadan ?!!

jidan is a sandnigger get the hell out of here arab towelhead hamadan is a persian city and you're a pathetic sandnigger

Hamadan history needs to be expanded

Sassanid period? Is this Ecbatana? The Britannica is hinting that it was suburb. The Arabs mention the standard Garrison settlement in Hamadhan.

Iranian websites say its Ecbatana itself? for example....Today's Hamadan is what is left of Ecbatana?

The Arab period 7th-10th century.
The Persian renaissance 10th century-current.--Skatewalk 03:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This garbled text at the end of the history must be written in proper english and then placed in the correct position by whoever inserted it: "the most famost thing in hamedan is :katibe ganjname .the khashaiar .raine of Iran in 2500 years a go crit it . the mianing of this written is: A great god is Ahuramazda," ........etc. --AssegaiAli (talk) 11:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

these days uggh smelly arab sandniggers are spread all over the place!!!!lmfao

Tomb of Esther and Mordechai

The artical mentions "A traditional tomb housing the biblical Esther and her uncle Mordechai is located in Hamadan." Read the biblical text (Esther 2:7). Mordechai was Esthers COUSIN, not her uncle.

That Mordechai is really buried here is highly doubtful. According to Jewish tradition, Mordechai went up to the Land of Israel at the end of the 70 year exile, and lived there for many years, serving as a member of the Great Assembly. There is no record of his returning to Persia, or of his bones being take there for buriel. 71.190.25.204 (talk) 14:30, 11 January 2011 (UTC) Text has been edited to reflect the above concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giorgies (talk • contribs) 14:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
