Cyrus: "I will respect the rites, customs and religions of my subjects [...]"

Boy, how things have changed.

Are you sure the video couldn't have been condensed to "The Persians had one of the most awesome civilizations ever known to mankind, then a bunch of uncultured, barbarian, Muslim Arabs came and ruined everything. The end."

Unless I'm a mistaken, hardly any religion is persecuted in Iran today. I can think of Baha'i which is spited as a sort of apostasy.

Christians, Zoroastrians and Jews are recognised communities with parliament representation. Sunnis are also not expelled systematically like during the good old days of Shah Ismail I.

Is there republican equality? Of course not. Iran is an ancient land where people live the way humans lived for millenia prior to the age of Modernism: Local customs are mainstream and privileged, foreign/minoritary customs are allowed with certain restrictions unless they oppose the mainstream culture (reason why the Baha'i are persecuted nowadays).

Simply amazing. Such close proximity to South Asia, with overflow into the NW regions. Nice.

[Sky earth]

I still find it amazing that Iran was basically ruled by Turkic dynasties since the 10th century

Then they should have never took our lands in the first place.

One of the greatest ruler Iran had after Xerxes and Alexander was the Turcoman guy Uzun Hasan from the Ak Koyunlu. He was Oghuz Turk from Bayındır clan.

Just look at his titles :)

Uzun Hasan was greater than any of the Sassanian cucks such as Yazdegerd or Khosrew.

Ak koyunlu Empire at the passing away of Uzun Hasan in 1478.
Tbilissi (Georgia) and Derbend (Dagestan) to the north until Gedrosia and Pakistan to the south.

These dynasties were heavily persianised and mixed with local brown people.

There were also 2 other dynasties that ruled iran which are supposed to be turkic, but each one of them looked brown and they mostly spoke Persian.

[Arjana]

I still find it amazing that Iran was basically ruled by Turkic dynasties since the 10th century

Since the 10th century you mean?

Somehow to a certain degree... ghasanides were heavily persian and considered themselves as persian despite that many suggest a turkic origins of them... Seljuk rule died by 1150 ad.... however there were some heavily persian-turkic dynasties that ruled from 1700 till the shah times..

Even the Ottoman empire that started very far away from Iran, was basically a persian islamic empire in every sense.

Who the fuck you calling brown you albanian Gypsy whore, your whole people are the beggars and Delinquents of Europe, so go back and follow the long line of family prostitutes from which you come from

How do you they looked brown? Uzun means tall, Uzun Hasan was a 1.95 meter tall guy and no historical source claims he was brown. His army was full Turcoman mounted units similar to the Seljuk armies.
Hasan was certainly not corded ware Nordic but he didn't look Indian either.

Those Sassanids “cucks” managed to destroy your Gokturk ancestors while heavily outnumbered you brown Siberian wannabe, dont you wver forget that. And all the other “Turkic” dynasities of Iran were Iranian and considered themselves Iranian and hated the Ottomans or Uzbeks. TIMurlane was Mongolian and destroyed turks like Gengis did.

[Yaglakar]

Many people believe that Sogdian (East Iranic) language and great Sogdian culture disappeared due to Turkic migrations, but it was the Arab conquest of Transoxiana (late 7th century) and consequent Persianization of the local population which displaced the Sogdian language. Ironically, Turkic lands to the east were a Sogdian safe-haven. Uighurs adopted a derivative of the Sogdian alphabet and last Sogdian words being uttered and on written down on paper were in Turkic lands.

Ultimately the Sassanian's clients, including Albania (Arranis) and Georgia, were obliterated by Khagan Tong Yabgu and Göktürk's Khazar clients. Sassanis just repelled some Göktürk offensives. No big deal.

Cities like Tbilissi and Derbend stopped to exist back then xD

They were indeed Persianates. They barely had anything Turkic lol. The most famous of these the Safavids had a Kurdish paternal ancestor, and the rest got mixed with Circassian, Pontic Greeks,Georgians, Persians, and so on. The Safavid direct paternal ancestor was Saif Al-Din Ardabili he was originally a leader of Sufi Shafi order known as the Saffyiah. The Saffyiah eventually changed into Shia Sufi order who had taken a lot of influence from native Iranian believes, and they were inspired by the Khurmuia movement which was a mix of Shia Islam and native Iranian believes. They were rebel movement against Arab rule, look at Babak Khormaddin and Sunpdah. The Saffiyah also became a political order and many tribes joined in, they were called the Qizilbash or the redhats/redturbans. They often had 12 stars, which symbolized the 12 Imams. They were very divergent from mainstream Shiaism, that eventually when Shah Ismail took power, he imported Lebanese Shias and Eastern Arabians Shias to propagate mainstream 12er Shiaism. They were also very little Turkic influence, other than the language which they adopted, but the culture was very Persian, and the religion was clearly Arab influenced.

The same is also true of Black sheep and White sheep Turkmens, their name just had Turkmen in it, but they looked like Persians, and they were heavily Persianized. The same is also true of the Afshars who would create a very powerful empire and also rivals to the Ottomans.

To say their Turkic culturally, or saw themselves as Turk is nothing more than pan-Turkic propaganda. At best it's to call them Turko-Persian.

As a Wahabbi Arab sympathetic to Yazid I (ibn Muawiyah ibn Abu Sofyan) who slayed Muhammad's offspring as well as molesting Madina city and burning Mecca and the very Kaaba, I would understand your hate for Safavids and Afshars who were Shia Twelvers but wtf Uzun Hasan and Ak koyunlu? They were Sunni and Oghuz dynasty you camel jokey, slandering obese animal.
Just fuck off.

You seem pissed, take a chill pill will ya. You should understand that Persian culture is very powerful and everyone that comes into it becomes Persian. You also should look at how they looked like the White Sheep and Black sheep, they looked like Persians, and barely had Mongoloid influence if any. Not to mention they were Persianate. You realize that most Persians were Sunnis you numbnuts, who were forced to Shiaism for political reasons and to keep Iranian identity. None of these groups practiced Turkic culture. Actually the White sheep and Black sheep made Iran and Iraq into battle fields, perhaps that's the only Turkic thing there. Uzun Hassan that guy, had his son convert to Christianity what a joke lol.

You are such a Persian phobe lol. btw Safavids are disliked because they dug the grave of Abu Hanfia you dumbass not really for their ethnicity, btw he is Persian guy who is highly respected in Iraq, especially by Sunni Arabs although there is some ethnic elements to. Dumbass Wahabism is part of the Hanabli school which is rare outside the Arabian peninsula, most Sunni Arabs in Iraq are Hanafi and Maliki, only Kurds are Shafi. Man your dumb.
