Tigran's kingdom as depicted here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20tigranes95-66.gif

Is a bald-faced lie on the part of Armenians on Wikipedia. Armenia has always been a tiny kingdom at its greatest. It completely ignores the existence of the Hasmonean Monarchy, let alone the Seleucids. The surviving portion of the Seleucid Empire was not a part of this farcical Armenian wish for a kingdom, and Parthia was far stronger than the Armenians would like here.

And this also neglects such states as the Antigonid Monarchy and the entire existence of the Galatians. It's as egregious a lie as taking the Semai people of Malaysia and claiming all of Indochina was Malaysian.

And the Polish history articles on the dictator Pildsuki.....if they were written about such a man as Pol Pot or Pinochet, there'd be a lot more objection. In short, much of Middle Eastern history as a definite as well as other kinds of history as well is completely falsified.
