Podcast Outtake: How Ancient Iran Invented Human Rights

When you think of the origins of human rights, what comes to mind? The Magna Carta? The US Constitution? In this clip from the WatchMojo Inside podcast, our CEO Ash (who originally hails from Iran) breaks down the ancient history you were never taught in school. We explore how Iran, the world’s oldest nation, went from being the birthplace of human rights to the theocratic state it’s known as today.

This is a segment from our full-length podcast, "Inside Iran: A WatchMojo Breakdown." Watch the full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/ulWzX84trUs
