Over the next few days BBC Persian are broadcasting short documentaries around 20-30 minutes about each of them. Following this, people will be invited to vote to select one of the six, who they consider to be the greatest Iranian.

Zarathushtra should not be compared to ordinary people. He was a prophet and should be removed from the list.
