Title: Not historically accurate
Review: Ibn Fadlan (the 13th warrior) was not an Arab; He is a Persian working for Arab caliphate.Arab caliphates were completely depended on Persians to rule and manage their huge empire.This book is made based on a book by Michael Crichton called "Eaters of the dead", Which is based on real chronicles of a Persian working for Abbasid Caliphates as a royal accountant (Divandar)?The story is seriously dramatized to fit Hollywood needs. The real chronicles are available in a library in Iran. The real story is somewhat different from Michael Crichton's version.Overall it's very exciting and interesting, Well worth watching and reading.
