Iranians are so lucky to have such a great civilization, the very first state from which has emerged the concept of universal empire. Iranians have achieved so much greatness over their history, developed administrative and legal notions and tools which we use now. Had Iran not existed, civilization could not have spread around the world. Iranian history is full of great men, like Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes, Khoshrow, Bahram Chobin, Ismael Safavi, Abbas the Great, Nader Afshar... Long live the Achaemenids, the Sassanids, the Safavids. Long live Iran.

I advice you to stop considering yourselves according to your genes. You belong to the nation you feel like. I saw a japanese who is a turkish nationalist
Persia has had many different but similar Empires, like the Achaemnid Empire. The Seleucids, Parthians, Seljuk and many other Empires who seem to have Persia at their core share the same Shape - Turkmenia, Iran, sometimes up to the Indus River and always more land in the west like Turkey, Egypt and the fertile crescent while to the north they border the Caucasus Mountains. It really has to do with geography that most of these Empires choose similar Expansion routes. Also something interesting is that they all have different dynasties on top, like the Parthian Dynasty, the turkic Seljuks and the greek Seleucids, and their civilization was amazing with Influences from Greece to India and a cradle to early intelectualism, the islamization of Persia was a struggle and interesting too, there was even a last attempt and very possible alternate history were Zoroastrianism remained the dominant religion in Persia instead of Islam. Top-Pick for Ancient but especially classic history! (medieval persia was also interesting though)
Georgian kings were mixed with Iranians. King Vakhtang I of Iberia, one of the most famous and popular kings in the history of Georgia, had Iranian wife and mother. Balendukht, his wife was a Persian princess. And his mother was also an Iranian woman. The Vakhtang Gorgasal Order, created in 1992, is one of the highest military decorations in Georgia.[17] In popular memory, his image has acquired a legendary and romantic façade. Vakhtang is a subject of several folk poems and legends, extolling the king's perceived greatness, enormous physical strength, courage and devoutness to Christianity.[15] Tradition ascribes him reorganization of the Georgian Orthodox Church and the foundation of Tbilisi, Georgia's modern capital.[1] where a street and a square bear his name, and a 1967 monument by the sculptor Elguja Amashukeli tops the Metekhi cliff. [16] Vakhtang was officially included in the Georgian Orthodox calendar-and a church built in his honor in the city of Rustavi-early in the 1990s, but he had presumably been considered a saint long before that. King Vakhtang I of Iberia emerged as one of the most popular figures in Georgia's history already in the Middle Ages[3] and has been canonized by the Georgian Orthodox Church[4] as The Holy and Right-Believing King Vakhtang and is commemorated on December 13 [O.S. November 30].[4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vakhtang_I_of_Iberia
And many Georgian kings had Ossetian Iranian wives and mothers, such as 1. George III of Georgia, his wife was Burdukhan of Alania, she was Tamar the Great's mother. Tamar the Great, the most famous and powerful queen in the history of Georgia, and also one of the famous queens of history, was a half Iranian woman. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_Georgia 2.

George I of Georgia, his wife was Alda of Alania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_I_of_Georgia etc, etc Most Georgian kings also had Armenian mothers and wives. Also, 2 Byzantine emperors, Nikephoros III Botaneiates and Michael VII Doukas, had half Ossetian Iranian - half Georgian wives en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_of_Alania The wives and mothers of the Byzantine emperors were Armenian Ossetian Iranian-Georgian Armenian-Iranian Serb Slavic Ukrainian Italian Bulgarian Hungarian Syrian Anatolian Khazar French and Germanic women.

Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights is a Persian girl. She is a very intelligent and beautiful girl. Scheherazade is a Persian queen who is the storyteller in One Thousand and One Nights. Scheherazade/Shahrazad is a Persian name for girls. The story, which was written many hundreds of years ago, tells of a Arabian Sultan who married a young girl every night. At the end of every night he would send his new wife to have her head cho/pped off. He had already killed 3000 women in this way. Until a young woman named Scheherazade came into his life. She was the most beautiful of all. Scheherazade began by telling him the story of Ali Baba a man who found a magic cave, where thieves kept their treasures at the touch of a few words, which opened and closed the entrance to the cave. The Sultan was plunged into a whirlwind of adventures, which Scheherazade cut at dawn in half. Leaving the story half-told, the sultan, bewitched by history, debated whether to kill Scheherazade or let her live one more night. -Tell me the end now-he used to order his wife-now, in the dawn. But Scheherazade was standing firm. -Tomorrow night, my lord The Sultan felt great regret in his heart, and every day grew more like the tide. Scheherazade's story sounded sweeter on her lips than on any other storytellers, because when The Sultan lost himself in the events looking at her he could not take his eyes off the girl, she was so beautiful. The Sultan began to satisfy his desire for her after the tale, and the marriage was consummated in the eyes of God almost every night. His lust was justified because the sound of her voice, Scheherazade with her delay in the stories began to make him feel an unknown hunger inside his skin for her. Scheherazade did not even look like his people, but a woman brought from distant lands, a Persian captive. Scheherazade kept this up for 1001 nights. She told him 1001 stories. In the end the king had fallen in love with Scheherazade and they had three children. Centuries still remember those tales, and among the ruins of the Sultan's palace they are still remembered as lost echoes, tales in the clear voice of other storytellers, but none with the beauty that Scheherazade told them.
One Thousand and One Nights is of ancient Persian and Indian origin. The main part of these stories is formed by an old Persian book called Hezar-afsana or the "Thousand Myths" (Persian: هزارافسانه). th-cam.com/video/FI2B7BYVa9E/w-d-xo.html Sources dating to the 10th century AD which mention this collection allude to the existence of a Persian book called Hezar Afsaneh (The Book of a Thousand Tales), the story of a king, his vizier, and the vizier's daughters Shahrazad and Dinazad. The names of Shahriyar (holder of a kingdom; prince or king), Shahrazad (of noble lineage) and Dinazad (exalting the goddess Den) are Iranian, and the name of Shahriyar's brother Shahzaman consists of the Persian shah (king). The frame story of One Thousand and One Nights is of both Persian and Indian origin. The tales vary widely; they include historical tales, love stories, tragedies, comedies, poems, burlesques and Muslim religious legends. Some of the famous stories Shahrazad spins in many western translations are Aladdin's Lamp, Sindbad the Sailor, and the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; however Aladdin and Ali Baba were in fact inserted only in the 18th century by Antoine Galland, who had heard them in oral form from a Maronite story-teller from Aleppo. Among the tales in the collection which are believed to be of Persian origin are love stories and fairy tales, which often include div (demon) and pari (fairy), as well as magical animals and birds. Other stories, such as The Ebony Horse, beginning with a description which fits perfectly into the Persian tradition. The Ebony Horse, also known as The Magic Horse, is about a magical horse presented as a gift to the king of Persia. The king's young heir sits on the ebony horse to test the magic and flies into the sky. Numerous stories depict djinns, magicians, and legendary places, which are often intermingled with real people and geography; the historical caliph Harun al-Rashid is a common protagonist. Sometimes a character in Shahrazad's's tale will begin telling other characters a story of his own, and that story may have another one told within it, and so on, adding to the fantastic texture.
Sir Richard Burton : Scheherazade had perused the books, annals, and legends of preceding Kings, and the stories, examples, and instances of bygone men and things; indeed it was said that she had collected a thousand books of histories relating to antique races and departed rulers. She had perused the works of the poets and knew them by heart; she had studied philosophy and the sciences, arts, and accomplishments; and she was pleasant and polite, wise and witty, well read and well bred.
The Bible calls Cyrus the Great of Persia/Iran " the chosen man of God " as being chosen and favored for God's grand purposes, and "Messiah". " Cyrus the Great was a remarkable leader in his benevolence and wise leadership. He ruled over the greatest empire the world had seen at the time. Yet, the most amazing thing about his life and exploits is that the Almighty God of the Bible foretold his exploits and actually named him around 200 years before he was even born. "
Yes, it's a special work of God. By being God's annointed one, Cyrus, in one sense, is pointing forward to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the incarnate God!
He is also Dulqar nain in the Holy Qur'an meaning king of 2 horns who won 4 corners of world and shield the world from gog and megog by building a wall and he also freed Jews from babylon.

As an American, I feel bad that the Persian culture is underrated, since they had power multiple times. Especially since most believe the Persian had a lot of cheap soldiers and the Greeks had few pros. Thus, I doubt this since the Persian Army was great and powerful against the Greeks. I am not against anyone, I just believe the Persians should be recognized more than what most people believe, other than the “enemies of Alexander,” part.
@Mr. Qafqaz Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was Persian : Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tūsī (Persian: محمد ابن محمد ابن حسن طوسی 18 February 1201 - 26 June 1274), better known as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (Persian: نصیر الدین طوسی; or simply Tusi /ˈtuːsi/[4] in the West), was a Persian polymath, architect, philosopher, physician, scientist, and theologian.[5] Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was a well published author, writing on subjects of math, engineering, prose, and mysticism. Additionally, al-Tusi made several scientific advancements. In astronomy, al-Tusi created very accurate tables of planetary motion, an updated planetary model, and critiques of Ptolemaic astronomy. He also made strides in logic, mathematics but especially trigonometry, biology, and chemistry. Nasir al-Din al-Tusi left behind a great legacy as well. Some consider Tusi one of the greatest scientists of medieval Islam,[6] since he is often considered the creator of trigonometry as a mathematical discipline in its own right.[7][8][9] The Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) considered Tusi to be the greatest of the later Persian scholars.[10] There is also reason to believe that he may have influenced Copernican heliocentrism.[11][12][13][14][15][16]

Persian history and culture fascinates me a lot as a Turk. It is like a source which when you get there transforms you into an another being. When in Persia, nomadic steppe lords like Turks becomes statesmen, scientist, poets and renounce their past. Maybe you can relate it to their less established cultures and them being nomads. But even Alexander the Great rejected his roots and described himself as the Persian Emperor despite the countless years of wars and huge greek culture. Persia is really something else...
Alexander the Great never denied her ancestry, and other Turkic emperors never denied her ancestry.stop talking nonsense, everyone is tired of these kurds people introducing themselves as Turk and doing nonsense iranic sovenism.

@@hannibalbarca2928 "To gain credibility with the Persians, Alexander took on many Persian customs. He began dressing like a Persian and adopted the practice of proskynesis, a Persian court custom that involved bowing down and kissing the hand of others, depending on their rank. The Macedonians were less than thrilled with the changes in Alexander and his attempt to be viewed as a deity. They refused to practice proskynesis and some plotted his death." He didn't need to do any of those especially when there was no claimants to the throne remained and subdued the Empire. Also Turks ruled the lands they conquered as Khans but in Persia they described themselves and ruled as Shahs. There is absoloutely no kurds in my family both from maternal and paternal side.

The Script, Alphabet, and Cuneiform were invented by the Jiroft civilization in Iran/Persia. Archeologists believe the discovered inscription in Jiroft, Iran, is the most ancient script found so far and that the Elamite written language originated in Jiroft, where the writing system developed first and was then spread across the country. The Jiroft civilization in Iran/Persia is the oldest civilization in the world.
In the words of the American Professor Arthur U. Pope, who carried out extensive studies in ancient Persian and Islamic buildings: " The meaningful Impact of Persian architecture is versatile. Not overwhelming but dignified, magnificent and impressive. Archaeological excavations have provided extensive evidence supporting the impact of Sassanid architecture on the architecture of the Islamic world at large. Many experts believe the period of Persian architecture from the 15th through 17th centuries CE to be the pinnacle of the post-Islamic era. "
Islamic Golden Age actually was the golden age of Persia not the work of Arabs. An Arab-Islamic historian, Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), emphasized the crucial role of the Persians in promoting learning, sciences, arts, architecture, and medicine in Islamic civilization. Ibn Khaldun ( The Muqaddimah ): “…It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been Persians…thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farisi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians… only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet becomes apparent, ‘If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it”…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians... retained their sedentary culture.”
The Persian Achaemenid Empire is the most influential and powerful empire in history, all empires after the Persian Empire were influenced by the great, mighty, and rich Achaemenid Empire. Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great are the most powerful emperors in history. Cyrus the Great is the pride of humanity. I love you, my beautiful and ancient country Iran (Persia), you have always risen victorious and proudly from your ashes, your martyrs, scientists, history, culture and civilization are the pride of humanity. You gave the most honorable and greatest women and men to the people of the world who are the pride of humanity. One of the most beautiful things after love and kindness is love for the homeland. Homeland is our beloved mother, love for the homeland means love for the family.

Rhazes of Persia (Iran) was the greatest Persian polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. Rhazes is widely considered one of the most important figures in the history of medicine.[2] He was born in Ray (in Tehran province), Iran. Rhazes is considered the father of psychology and psychotherapy, the father of pediatrics, a pioneer in ophthalmology, making leading contributions in inorganic and organic chemistry, also the author of several philosophical works, and also first to categorize the Hospital dept. Rhazes also discovered numerous compounds and chemicals including alcohol and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid today is used to make many substances from fertilizers to detergents and has impacted everything from agriculture to our domestic lives. A nation’s industrial strength can also be gauged by the amount of sulfuric acid that it produces. A comprehensive thinker, Rhazes made fundamental and enduring contributions to various fields, which he recorded in over 200 manuscripts, and is particularly remembered for numerous advances in medicine through his observations and discoveries.[4] He also wrote on logic, astronomy and grammar.[7] As a teacher of medicine, Rhazes attracted students of all backgrounds and interests and was said to be compassionate and devoted to the service of his patients, whether rich or poor.[11] Through translation, his medical works and ideas became known among medieval European practitioners and profoundly influenced medical education in the Latin West.[9] Some volumes of his work Al-Mansuri, namely "On Surgery" and "A General Book on Therapy", became part of the medical curriculum in Western universities.[5] Some volumes of his work Al-Mansuri, namely "On Surgery" and "A General Book on Therapy", became part of the medical curriculum in Western universities.[9] Additionally, he has been described as the father of pediatrics,[14][15] and a pioneer of obstetrics and ophthalmology.[16] For example, he was the first to recognize the reaction of the eye's pupil to light.[15] He was the first to clinically distinguish between smallpox and measles, and suggest sound treatment for the former.[8] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_al-Razi

Europeans and Americans have a culture mixed with Persian culture. The culture of Christianity, Christmas and Santa Clauses, which is the culture of Europe and America and almost half of the people of the world, is an Iranian culture. Biblical Magi also referred to as The (Three) Wise Men were from Persia (Iran). Christmas and Santa Clauses are of Persian origin.
Even caring for dogs and cats is an ancient Persian custom. The ancient Persians loved animals such as dogs and cats and kept them in their homes. I love this beautiful custom of the ancient Persians, because I love animals and their lives are as valuable as humans.
Istanbul is a joke compared to ancient Persian cities. Many of the greatest men in European history fell in love with Isfahan, and other ancient Persian cities. 1. Andre Malraux, the famous French author and adventurer has said : " Who can claim to have seen the most beautiful city of the world without having seen Isfahan?” This pearl of Persia with its well-proportioned mosques and turquoise blue dome and minarets rivaling the color of the sky surely offers endless delights to any traveler. " 2. Jean Chardin, a 17th-century French traveler, wrote that Isfahan : " The greatest and the most beautiful town in the whole of Orient and was expressly made for the delights of love. " 3. In the 1930s, the British travel writer Robert Byron rated it “among those rarer places which are the common refreshment of humanity.” Here is a city that rivals the marvelous churches and domes of Florence and overwhelms you with its transcendental beauty. " 4. Because of its unmatched beauty and historic ambiance, Isfahan is called “Half the World” as dubbed for the first time by French poet Renier who visited this city in the 16th century. Esfahan, Isfahan or ancient Espadana is and has been the center of the province of Isfahan since 900 years ago.23 There’s a centuries-old saying that Isfahan is “half the world,” meaning it contains fully half of the earth’s wonders.
Isfahan is indeed the Florence of Orient, Persia's masterpiece, the Intrigue of Iran and the half rhymed famous adage “Isfahan Nesf-e Jahan” (Isfahan is half the world) veritably describe the splendor of a city shining along its life-giving river at the heart of Iran. All Persian architects were well versed in mathematics, algebra and geometry and one can sense the proportions everywhere. The room beneath the grand Nezam al-Molk Dome and the Seljuk-era hypostyle prayer halls either side just breathe history, while at the other end of the complex the Taj al-Molk Dome is widely considered to be the finest brick dome ever built. There is a Kufic inscription on the bricks of the dome that shows it dates back to 1088 A.D. While relatively small, it is said to be mathematically perfect, matching golden ratio (1.61) , and has survived dozens of earthquakes without a blemish for more than 900 years. Professor Arthur Upham Pope who has made a lot of researches on Iran says about Taj-al-Molk ,'This magnificent, silent, serious and mysterious monument is one of the most beautiful architectural works in the world.' To reach it you walk through a forest of imposing pillars. You could see astonishing brickworks as you walk, bricks packed like rows of books in a bookshelf. These domes are among the oldest parts of the mosque.
If Iran had no sanctions and not had a bad reputation in media and also a better government, Isfahan would have competed with Istanbul in number of tourists

Until 200 years ago, Baku was a Tat (Persian) city : " When the city of Baku was occupied in the beginning of the 19th century during the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813), the whole population of the city (about 8,000 people) were Tats.[16] " Yunusov A. S. Azərbaycanda Islam (in Azeri Turkic); This is an official result of the first census of the population of Baku, gained by tsarist authorities." The Turks called the Persians of Azerbaijan and the Caucasus "Tat". Tats are Persians, their language is a dialect of Persian. Baku was a Tat (Persian) city. Since the 11th century Oghuz tribes, led by Seljuq dynasts started to penetrate into the region. The gradual formation of the Azeri people started. Apparently, in this period the Turkic exonym Tat or Tati, which designated settled farmers, was assigned to the South Caucasian dialect of the Persian language.[14]

“the most important thing to emphasize is the resilience and intellectual power of the small class of Persian scholar-bureaucrats. Nostalgic for their heroic Sassanid ancestors, escaping from official duplicity and courtiership into either dreams of love and gardens, religious mysticism, the design of splendid palaces and mosques, or the complexities of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, they bounced back from crisis after crisis, accommodated to their conquerors, made themselves indispensable again, and eventually reasserted something like control over them. In the process, they ensured (whether based in Baghdad, Balkh, Tabriz, or Herat) the survival of their language, their culture, and an unrivaled intellectual heritage. It is one of the most remarkable phenomena in world history.

Cyrus the Great is the greatest emperor in human history. Cyrus the Great is the pride of humanity. " what's extraordinary about Cyrus, is that he appears as a paragon of princely statesmanship in the two pillars of Western cultures, that is the Roman tradition and the Bible". Cyrus freed nations enslaved by the Babylonians. The friends and enemies respected and praised Cyrus the Great. The Bible called Cyrus the Great "Messiah". The Babylonians welcomed Cyrus the Great as a liberator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " In the 18th Century, that model of religious tolerance based on a state with diverse cultures, but no single dominant religion, became a model for the founding fathers. People like Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and became the third president of the United States, had to rely on Xenophon's Cyropaedia as a reference for the life and leadership of the Persian king. No European state managed to build tolerance into the structure of the state, the importance of Cyrus to those who wrote the constitution of the United States. These acts, which have been interpreted as allowing freedom of worship and repatriating deported people, have earned Cyrus a reputation as an enlightened monarch". Xenophon wrote on how Cyrus ruled a diverse society based on tolerance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the great western philosopher, in his work "The Philosophy of History" introduces Persians as the "first historical people" in history.
George W.F. Hegel. The Philosophy of History : " The Persian Empire is an empire in the modern sense - like that which existed in Germany, and the great imperial realm under the sway of Napoleon; for we find it consisting of a number of states, which are indeed dependent, but which have retained their own individuality, their manners, and laws. The general enactments, binding upon all, did not infringe upon their political and social idiosyncrasies, but even protected and maintained them; so that each of the nations that constitute the whole, had its own form of constitution. As light illuminates everything - imparting to each object a peculiar vitality - so the Persian Empire extends over a multitude of nations and leaves to each one its particular character. Some have even kings of their own; each one its distinct language, arms, way of life and customs. All this diversity coexists harmoniously under the impartial dominion of Light ... a combination of peoples - leaving each of them free. Thereby, a stop is put to that barbarism and ferocity with which the nations had been wont to carry on their destructive feuds. " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All famous rulers after Cyrus the Great tried to imitate him, but none of them could match his glory and greatness. Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'. The empire over which Cyrus ruled was the largest the Ancient World had ever seen and maybe to this day the largest empire ever. " Abraham Lincoln was influenced by Cyrus the Great and the great Persian scientist, mathematician, astronomer, polymath, philosopher, and poet, Khayyam.

They may have been Iranians or Turks, or even of Kurdish or Arabic origin, but their appeal was religious rather than ethnic or tribal. Devotion to the Safavid order was widespread among the Türkmen tribes of Azarbayjan and Anatolia. Safavid followers wore a distinctive red turban and were known as Qizilbash, or “red-heads.” The Safavid order was both Sufi and Shiite in orientation, and it is thanks to the Safavids that Iran is a Shiite country today. Religious overtones aside,in most other respects theirs was a typical turkish dynasty. As late as the 1660s and 1670s, a Frenchman at the Safavid court could still write: “Turkish is the language of the armies and of the court; one speaks nothing but Turkish there, as much among the women as among the men, throughout in the seraglios of the great; this comes about because the court is originally of the country of this language, descended from the Türkmens, of whom Turkish is their native tongue. www.cambridge.org/core/books/firearms/33BCC813B4FFB68D5C830DE09D9F2B47
The Achaemenid Persian Empire was founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C, who went by the title of King of Kings (Shahanshah). Although the Persian Empire came to an inglorious end at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 B.C, it had a lasting legacy on the subsequent development of world civilizations and future empires. Indeed, the Persian Empire was a pivotal empire because it was the first true empire that set the standard of what it meant to be an empire for future ones.
The Persian Empire existed at a unique time in history, when most of the oikumene, or civilized, settled, populated world was concentrated in or near the Middle East. As a result, the Persian Empire, which dominated most of the Middle East, ruled over a greater percentage of the world’s population than any other empire in history. Indeed, in 480 B.C, the empire had a population of approximately 49.4 million people, which was 44 percent of the global population at that time. The Persian Empire was the first empire to connect multiple world regions, including the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, India, Europe, and the Mediterranean world. It jumpstarted the concept of empires in places like Greece and India.
Various Persian campaigns succeeded at subjugating most of the world’s advanced civilizations at the time including the Babylonians, Lydians, Egyptians, and the northwestern Hindu region of Gandhara, in today’s Pakistan. It should not be forgotten that, notwithstanding exaggeration and misinterpretation, the Persians believed that they achieved their goals in Greece and that more Greeks lived in the empire than not. The Persian Empire ushered in a period of harmony and peace in the Middle East for two hundred years, a feat that has seldom been replicated.
The Persian Empire’s legacy to the world in terms of imperial ideas include the use of a network of roads, a postal system, a single language for administration (Imperial Aramaic), autonomy for various ethnicities, and a bureaucracy. The Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, influenced the development of key concepts like free will and heaven and hell in Abrahamic religions through Judaism.

If I were a Turkish woman, I would hate the ottoman sultans, because they preferred Ruthenian, Serb, Circassian, and Abkhazian women to Turkish women, LOOL Persian emperors and rulers loved Persian women. The most powerful queens of the Persian empires were Persian women :) I love the history of my ancient and beautiful Iran. Some Persian emperors are among the most powerful emperors in history, such as Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great, and their queens were beautiful and intelligent Persian women. Even some of the most powerful non-Iranian emperors in history had Persian wives. The most powerful Ottoman queen was a Ruthenian woman, not a Turkish woman, LOOL ( The Ruthenians are non-Slavic people who used to be part of Poland but are now part of Ukraine, their origin is unknown ). She was sultan Suleiman's wife.

Biblical Magi*The 3 Wise Men I asked all the Turks around me, and I did not come across anyone who said yes, when they asked if they would look for the condition of being Turk before marrying a woman.In the Ottoman Empire, marriages were made from the harem, not the daughters of the great tribe, because the woman who came to the harem was not the daughter of a nobleman, so she was prevented from claiming rights in the dynasty.The harem was a place where Turk women were forbidden to enter because Turk women were strictly forbidden to be concubines.In other words, the Ottoman sultans should have met and married a Turki woman, otherwise there would be no marriage.Professor Ilber Ortaylı made a study called How the Ottoman Sultans spent their day.First of all, he adds that since the Ottoman sultans ruled one of the most powerful and longest-lasting states in the world, they would never come into contact with local languages in order to keep the peoples together and not appear invasive in the regions. and the rest of the time, the Ottoman sultans, who worked on poetry, literature and art, also said that they did many war exercises such as archery, firearms and sword drills during the day. that is, marriages were mostly made from the harem so that the big tribes and nobles could not claim rights in the state.
The Turks, who have always been distinguished by their military qualities, certainly won the hearts of romantic Persian women, who saw in them an example of masculinity, courage, and love of freedom. The choice of Turkic handsome men for love affairs has become so widespread that in Persian poetry "Turk" has become a poetic synonym for handsome men or for lovers.

Tamar the Great, the most famous and powerful queen in the history of Georgia, and also one of the famous queens of history, was a half Iranian woman. Her mother was an Ossetian Iranian woman. Tamar the Great, the Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age.[2] A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.[3] Tamar's reign is associated with a period of marked political and military successes and cultural achievements. This, combined with her role as a female ruler, has contributed to her status as an idealized and romanticized figure in Georgian arts and historical memory. She remains an important symbol in Georgian popular culture. Tamar the Great's husband was also an Ossetian Iranian man. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamar_of_Georgia
Georgian kings were mixed with Iranians. Many Georgian kings had Ossetian Iranian wives and mothers, such as 1.

Azerbaijan is the original homeland of the Persians, the first mention of Persians in history is from Azerbaijan. The Persians immigrated from Azerbaijan to other parts of Iran. Persia is first attested in Assyrian sources from the third millennium BC in the Old Assyrian form Parahše, designating a region belonging to the Sumerians. The name of this region was adopted by a nomadic ancient Iranian people who migrated to the region in the west and southwest of Lake Urmia, eventually becoming known as "the Persians".[9][37] The ninth-century BC Neo-Assyrian inscription of the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, found at Nimrud, gives it in the Late Assyrian forms Parsua and Parsumaš as a region and a people located in the Zagros Mountains, the latter likely having migrated southward and transferred the name of the region with them to what would become Persis (Persia proper, i.e., modern-day Fars), and that is considered to be the earliest attestation to the ancient Persian people.[38][39][40][41][42]

Although the Persian Empire came to an inglorious end at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 B.C, it had a lasting legacy on the subsequent development of world civilizations and future empires. Indeed, the Persian Empire was a pivotal empire because it was the first true empire that set the standard of what it meant to be an empire for future ones.

Lak Iranians were the horror of the Ottomans, Turk Qajars and Arabs, we defeated them. Lak Iranians - Encyclopædia Iranica : The Lak tribes have always been known for their warlike qualities...Javānmir of Hamāvand and his small number of fighters, who were terrifying both the Qajar and Ottoman rulers... Freya Stark writes about the high position of the women in the society. She tells the story of several warlike women who were very much praised by the people. The Lak women had the tradition of joining their men in war (Stark, p. 133-34; Ḥājj Sayyāḥ, p. 324). This is apparently an old tradition among these people. It is said that the inclusion of women in the military was an interesting trait of the Zand tribe. The first bride of Karim Khan is said to have fought the Afghan forces alongside her husband (Izady, p. 54). Zand Iranian Empire belongs to us Lak Iranians. Lak Iranians are a mix of Medes Iranians, Scythian Iranians and indigenous people of Persia (Iran). The most distinguished point in the history of the Laks is the fact that the Zand dynasty rose from among them. Its founder, Karim Khan (r. 1750-79), could be compared only to the best rulers during the ancient history of Iran.
Most Turk Qashqai people are of Laki Iranian origin, they are Turkified Lak Iranians. After the fall of the Zand dynasty, many of their supporters were absorbed into greater nomadic confederations of Central Iran. Many sub-branches (tira) of the Baḵtiāri, Boir Aḥmadi, and especially Qašqāʾi tribal confederations still remember their origins among the Laks or carry a related names (Hamzehee, 2006, pp. 80 ff.). According to Raḥimi ʿOṯmāni (p. 51), thirteen Qašqāʾi subtribes are of Laki origin.
The excavation carried out in Ganj Dara near Harsin shows that the homeland of the Lak belongs to one of the cradles of agricultural and settled civilizations. This settlement with well-developed architecture was constructed more than 10,500 years ago (Smith, pp. 11 ff.; Huff, p. 17). Lakestān was also included in the core land of the ancient Elam. The Kassites, who led the second phase of Babylonian civilization in Mesopotamia, are supposed to have gone from here. The wonderful artifacts known as “Luristan Bronzes,” whether belonging to the same Kassites or any other civilization, were all found in northern Lakestān (Calmeyer, p. 227). According to Dietrich Huff, this area is of outstanding importance for the understanding of several ancient Iranian civilizations (Huff, p. 16). From the Islamic period, there exist ruins of the castle of Sarmāj near Harsin in a village of the same name.
In the classical Persian literary tradition - the entire vocabulary of which consists of stock phrases and images - "Turk' and 'Tajik' are stand-in terms for easily recognizable social stereotypes: one simple but violent; the other wily but civilized. Rūmi turns this on its head, however, in the following couplet: Attack upon attack came the darkness of night/Be strong like a Turk, not soft like a Tajik' (Yek hamleh va yek hamleh, āmad shab va tārīkī/chosti kon va "Torki' kon, na narmī va ‘Tājīkī'). Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di: 'Maybe they'll tell the King/"Your Turk (i.e., your Beloved) has spilled Tajik blood" (Shayad ke be padshah begüyand/Tork-e tö berikht khūn-e Tājīk), or elsewhere, 'Show your Tajik face, not Abyssinian black/That the Heavens may obliterate the face of the Turks' (Ru-ye Tājīkāna-t benmā, tā dagh-e habash/ Asman chehre-ye Torkān yaghma'i keshad). Since Turkic men often ‘married up’ and started families with Tajik women, the bloodlines tended to become increasingly mixed over the generations. (Recent DNA studies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have shown no notable genetic difference between modern Uzbeks and Tajiks.) And since children typically spent their first years within the harem, the influence of Tajik mothers in constructing the identity of their mixed-race children was surely much greater than is admitted in the patriarchal written sources of the time. Military figures in particular often made much of their tough Turkic heritage, even as they sought to demonstrate their own cultivation by speaking Persian and patronizing Persian courtly culture. The Tajik scribes, for their part, were naturally required to flatter their patrons, but they flattered themselves as well in whatever subtle ways they could. - Richard Foltz, Chapter 4, Tajiks and Turks, The Turk-Tajik symbiosis
You said "Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di " He meant Turkic boys, all of them mean Turkic boys.
All Iranian people spoke the same language, with but slight variations : Strabo, in his Geographica (1st century CE), mentions of the Medes, Persians, Bactrians and Sogdians of the Iranian Plateau and Transoxiana of antiquity:[33] The name of Ariana is further extended to a part of Persia and of Media, as also to the Bactrians and Sogdians on the north; for these speak approximately the same language, with but slight variations. - Geographica, 15.8
In the Dna and Dse, Darius and Xerxes describe themselves as "an Achaemenid, a Persian, son of a Persian, and an Aryan, of Aryan stock".[28] Although Darius the Great called his language arya- ("Iranian"),[28] modern scholars refer to it as Old Persian[28] because it is the ancestor of the modern Persian language.[29] Herodotus, in his Histories, remarks about the Iranian Medes that "Medes were called anciently by all people Arians" (7.62).[22][23] In Armenian sources, the Parthians, Medes and Persians are collectively referred to as Iranians.[32] Eudemus of Rhodes (Dubitationes et Solutiones de Primis Principiis, in Platonis Parmenidem) refers to "the Magi and all those of Iranian (áreion) lineage". Diodorus Siculus (1.94.2) considers Zoroaster (Zathraustēs) as one of the Arianoi.[22]
India's Mughal Empire was a Turkic-Mongol imperial power from Uzbekistan, that ruled most of the Indian subcontinent in 16th and 17th century.[32] In 1526, Babur, a Timurid descendant of Tamerlane and Genghis Khan from Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan, swept across the Khyber Pass and established the Mughal Empire, which lasted for over 300 years, ruling 1/4 of the world's population at a time.[33]
Yeah The origin of mughal empire was Turco mongol but the empire is indian since it was totally in india It didn't even touched Uzbekistan lol The official name of Mughal empire was hindustan meaning india and they had indian blood for the most part
@@Ankit-d9f4u Being in India does not make it an Indian state. The Turkic Shahi state was also in India, was it an Indian state?Also, the definition of india was the name of the geography, but the name of the mughal state palace was and he never said he was Indian.
@@hannibalbarca2928 yes if turk shahi is in india then it's indian state that's how history work If Mughals had control over Uzbekistan them maybe it could have been called as Turkic state but it didn't Babur left Uzbekistan and never returned again The core areas of empire are in india Rest of the areas were just vassals that's it They were ruling from india with most of official as indians They also had indian blood as most of Mughals wer born to indian mother's

Agha Mohammad Shah Qajar was proud of his Turkic ancestry. Here, what he wrote: “The whole world comes from Adam and Eve, and if it is proper for the tribe of Turanian princes to boast of glory and pride in greatness, then our branch is from the same root: the Qajar-Noyon clan is not lower than Mankyt, our glorious and worthy tribe is even higher Saldus, Jelair and Uzbek. Praise should be given to the Lord Peacekeeper that he bestowed the possessions of Turan and Iran, Byzantium and Russia, Chin and Machin, Hatay, Khotan and Hindustan on the great Turkic houses ”.
It has always seemed strange to me that the Qajar dynasty massacred so many Persians and enslaved and killed so many Persians that even though they killed Iranians, they call them Iranians.They could not learn that the definition of Iranian is just a geographical belonging, like the definition of European, Turkistani or India. copied In 1793 Lotf Ali Khan defeated the Qajars, and in 1794 he captured Kerman. But soon after he was besieged in Kerman for six months by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar. When the city fell to Agha Mohammad Khan, angered by the popular support that Lotf Ali Khan had received,[clarification needed]many of the male inhabitants were killed or blinded, and a pile was made out of 20,000 detached eyeballs and poured in front of the victorious Agha Mohammad Khan.[11] Many women and children were sold into slavery, and in ninety days the city turned into ruins. However, the Zoroastrians of Kerman who had been strong supporters of Lotf Ali Khan suffered the wrath of the founder of Qajar dynasty the most during this period.
Iranians are so lucky to have such a great civilization, the very first state from which has emerged the concept of universal empire. Iranians have achieved so much greatness over their history, developed administrative and legal notions and tools which we use now.
Had Iran not existed, civilization could not have spread around the world.
Iranian history is full of great men, like Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes, Khoshrow, Bahram Chobin, Ismael Safavi, Abbas the Great, Nader Afshar...
Long live the Achaemenids, the Sassanids, the Safavids. Long live Iran.
Safavids and Afshars were Turkic empires, you clown.

the history and civilization of Iran is the pride of us Iranians.
It's definetly an interesting one
Persia has had many different but similar Empires, like the Achaemnid Empire. The Seleucids, Parthians, Seljuk and many other Empires who seem to have Persia at their core share the same Shape - Turkmenia, Iran, sometimes up to the Indus River and always more land in the west like Turkey, Egypt and the fertile crescent while to the north they border the Caucasus Mountains. It really has to do with geography that most of these Empires choose similar Expansion routes. Also something interesting is that they all have different dynasties on top, like the Parthian Dynasty, the turkic Seljuks and the greek Seleucids, and their civilization was amazing with Influences from Greece to India and a cradle to early intelectualism, the islamization of Persia was a struggle and interesting too, there was even a last attempt and very possible alternate history were Zoroastrianism remained the dominant religion in Persia instead of Islam.

Georgian kings were mixed with Iranians. King Vakhtang I of Iberia, one of the most famous and popular kings in the history of Georgia, had Iranian wife and mother. Balendukht, his wife was a Persian princess. And his mother was also an Iranian woman.
The Vakhtang Gorgasal Order, created in 1992, is one of the highest military decorations in Georgia.[17]
In popular memory, his image has acquired a legendary and romantic façade. Vakhtang is a subject of several folk poems and legends, extolling the king's perceived greatness, enormous physical strength, courage and devoutness to Christianity.[15]
Tradition ascribes him reorganization of the Georgian Orthodox Church and the foundation of Tbilisi, Georgia's modern capital.[1] where a street and a square bear his name, and a 1967 monument by the sculptor Elguja Amashukeli tops the Metekhi cliff. [16]
Vakhtang was officially included in the Georgian Orthodox calendar-and a church built in his honor in the city of Rustavi-early in the 1990s, but he had presumably been considered a saint long before that.
King Vakhtang I of Iberia emerged as one of the most popular figures in Georgia's history already in the Middle Ages[3] and has been canonized by the Georgian Orthodox Church[4] as The Holy and Right-Believing King Vakhtang and is commemorated on December 13 [O.S. November 30].[4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vakhtang_I_of_Iberia
And many Georgian kings had Ossetian Iranian wives and mothers, such as 1. George III of Georgia, his wife was Burdukhan of Alania, she was Tamar the Great's mother. Tamar the Great, the most famous and powerful queen in the history of Georgia, and also one of the famous queens of history, was a half Iranian woman.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_Georgia
2. George II of Georgia, his mother was Borena of Alania
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_II_of_Georgia
3. Bagrat IV of Georgia, his wife was Borena of Alania
4. George I of Georgia, his wife was Alda of Alania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_I_of_Georgia
etc, etc
Most Georgian kings also had Armenian mothers and wives.
Also, 2 Byzantine emperors, Nikephoros III Botaneiates and Michael VII Doukas, had half Ossetian Iranian - half Georgian wives en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_of_Alania
The wives and mothers of the Byzantine emperors were Armenian

Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights is a Persian girl. She is a very intelligent and beautiful girl.
Scheherazade is a Persian queen who is the storyteller in One Thousand and One Nights. Scheherazade/Shahrazad is a Persian name for girls.
The story, which was written many hundreds of years ago, tells of a Arabian Sultan who married a young girl every night. At the end of every night he would send his new wife to have her head cho/pped off. He had already killed 3000 women in this way.
Until a young woman named Scheherazade came into his life. She was the most beautiful of all.
Scheherazade began by telling him the story of Ali Baba a man who found a magic cave, where thieves kept their treasures at the touch of a few words, which opened and closed the entrance to the cave. The Sultan was plunged into a whirlwind of adventures, which Scheherazade cut at dawn in half.
Leaving the story half-told, the sultan, bewitched by history, debated whether to kill Scheherazade or let her live one more night.
-Tell me the end now-he used to order his wife-now, in the dawn.
But Scheherazade was standing firm.
-Tomorrow night, my lord
The Sultan felt great regret in his heart, and every day grew more like the tide.
Scheherazade's story sounded sweeter on her lips than on any other storytellers, because when The Sultan lost himself in the events looking at her he could not take his eyes off the girl, she was so beautiful. The Sultan began to satisfy his desire for her after the tale, and the marriage was consummated in the eyes of God almost every night.
His lust was justified because the sound of her voice, Scheherazade with her delay in the stories began to make him feel an unknown hunger inside his skin for her.
Scheherazade did not even look like his people, but a woman brought from distant lands, a Persian captive.
Scheherazade kept this up for 1001 nights. She told him 1001 stories. In the end the king had fallen in love with Scheherazade and they had three children.
Centuries still remember those tales, and among the ruins of the Sultan's palace they are still remembered as lost echoes, tales in the clear voice of other storytellers, but none with the beauty that Scheherazade told them.
Persian queen Scheherazade : The American/British TV series One Thousand and One Nights 2000 th-cam.com/video/DRp7CMheZKA/w-d-xo.html
One Thousand and One Nights is of ancient Persian and Indian origin. The main part of these stories is formed by an old Persian book called Hezar-afsana or the "Thousand Myths" (Persian: هزارافسانه).
th-cam.com/video/FI2B7BYVa9E/w-d-xo.html
Sources dating to the 10th century AD which mention this collection allude to the existence of a Persian book called Hezar Afsaneh (The Book of a Thousand Tales), the story of a king, his vizier, and the vizier's daughters Shahrazad and Dinazad.
The names of Shahriyar (holder of a kingdom; prince or king), Shahrazad (of noble lineage) and Dinazad (exalting the goddess Den) are Iranian, and the name of Shahriyar's brother Shahzaman consists of the Persian shah (king). The frame story of One Thousand and One Nights is of both Persian and Indian origin.
The tales vary widely; they include historical tales, love stories, tragedies, comedies, poems, burlesques and Muslim religious legends. Some of the famous stories Shahrazad spins in many western translations are Aladdin's Lamp, Sindbad the Sailor, and the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; however Aladdin and Ali Baba were in fact inserted only in the 18th century by Antoine Galland, who had heard them in oral form from a Maronite story-teller from Aleppo.
Among the tales in the collection which are believed to be of Persian origin are love stories and fairy tales, which often include div (demon) and pari (fairy), as well as magical animals and birds. Other stories, such as The Ebony Horse, beginning with a description which fits perfectly into the Persian tradition. The Ebony Horse, also known as The Magic Horse, is about a magical horse presented as a gift to the king of Persia. The king's young heir sits on the ebony horse to test the magic and flies into the sky.
Numerous stories depict djinns, magicians, and legendary places, which are often intermingled with real people and geography; the historical caliph Harun al-Rashid is a common protagonist. Sometimes a character in Shahrazad's's tale will begin telling other characters a story of his own, and that story may have another one told within it, and so on, adding to the fantastic texture.
simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade
Scheherazade is very famous and popular in the world en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_works_influenced_by_One_Thousand_and_One_Nights
Sir Richard Burton :
Scheherazade had perused the books, annals, and legends of preceding Kings, and the stories, examples, and instances of bygone men and things; indeed it was said that she had collected a thousand books of histories relating to antique races and departed rulers. She had perused the works of the poets and knew them by heart; she had studied philosophy and the sciences, arts, and accomplishments; and she was pleasant and polite, wise and witty, well read and well bred.
The Bible calls Cyrus the Great of Persia/Iran " the chosen man of God " as being chosen and favored for God's grand purposes, and "Messiah".
" Cyrus the Great was a remarkable leader in his benevolence and wise leadership. He ruled over the greatest empire the world had seen at the time. Yet, the most amazing thing about his life and exploits is that the Almighty God of the Bible foretold his exploits and actually named him around 200 years before he was even born. "
Long live Iran/Persia.
Yes, it's a special work of God. By being God's annointed one, Cyrus, in one sense, is pointing forward to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the incarnate God!

She was a lovely queen, Mumtaz Mahal used her position to promote humanitarian programs for the needy. Mumtaz Mahal was a Persian noblewoman from Iran/Persia.
A crater was named in her honour on asteroid 433 Eros. A crater on the planet Venus is named after her.
Even during her lifetime, poets would extol her beauty, grace, and compassion. She was a politically astute woman, at her intercession, Shah Jahan forgave enemies or commuted death sentences.
4. Stateira
5. The Martyred Queen "Khayr Nisa Begum" : The most powerful queen of Iran after Islam is the Martyred Queen "Khayr al-Nisa Begum" (Mahd-i Ulya) who ruled Iran for 2 years. Khayr Nisa Begum was the most powerful queen of the Safavid Empire, and she is the only Safavid queen who ruled the Safavid Empire.
She was martyred to defend Iran and Iranians. She is one of the greatest women in the history of Iran. This intelligent and beautiful woman was the savior of Iran both during her precious life and after her martyrdom.
6. Balendukht, Queen of Georgia (the queen of one of the most popular and famous kings of Georgia, Vakhtang I of Iberia).

8. Laodice III of Pontus, she was a Persian princess from Pontus and the most powerful queen in the history of the Seleucid Empire, and Laodice III is the only Seleucid queen who ruled the Seleucid Empire.
9. Jeyran (the beloved wife of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar). She is the most influential queen of Iran during the Qajar Empire, because contrary to the tradition of the Qajars (as it was the tradition that the Qajar kings be of their tribe ancestry in both paternal and maternal.), Jeyran became the mother of the crown prince and the official wife of the Qajar king "Soltan-e Sahebgharan Naser al-Din Shah".
The greatest Iranic rulers in the history of Iran :
1. Persian Achaemenid Empire, the first hyperpower in history : Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great
2. Seleucid Empire (a Macedonian and non-Iranian empire, and the most powerful and largest Macedonian empire after Alexander of Macedon) : Laodice III , she was a Persian princess from Pontus and the only Seleucid queen who ruled the Seleucid Empire. This Persian princess ruled the Seleucid Empire for 6 years.

4. Sasanian Empire : Ardashir I the Unifier
5. Samanid Empire : Ismail Samani
6. Buyid Empire : Adud al-Dawla, he is widely regarded as the greatest king of the Buyid dynasty, and by the end of his reign he was the most powerful ruler in the Middle East.
7. The Martyred Iranian Queen Khayr Nisa Begum, the most powerful queen of the Safavid Empire, and this Iranian woman is the only Safavid queen who ruled the Safavid Empire.
8. Zand Empire : Karim Khan Zand
And some famous queens who were half Iranic :
1. Tamar the Great, the most powerful and popular queen in the history of Georgia, and her mother was an Iranian Ossetian princess, named "Burdukhan of Alania".
2. Cleopatra was a mix of Macedonians and Persians. (Her paternal and maternal grandmother "Cleopatra I Syra" was also half Persian).
3. Also, Mastani was half Persian, she is one of the most famous women in the history of India, and her mother was Persian. Mastani was the daughter of the Rajput king Chhatrasal. Her father was the founder of the Panna State. Her husband Bajirao I was the 7th Peshwa of the Maratha Confederacy.
4. Cleopatra I Syra, Queen of Ptolemaic Egypt, and regent of Egypt during the minority of her son, Ptolemy VI, from her husband’s death in 180 BC until her own death in 176 BC. She ruled Egypt for about 4 years.
Her mother "Laodice III " was a Persian princess from Pontus, and her father was the famous Seleucid emperor "Antiochus III the Great" who was a mix of Macedonians and Persians, Seleucids were Iranian from their mother's side, and Macedonian from their father's side.
My favorite Safavid ruler is Queen Khayr al-Nisa Begum (Mahd-i Ulya), the mother of Shah Abbas the Great. She was martyred to defend Iran and the Iranians. The Martyr Queen Khayr al-Nisa Begum is one of the greatest women in the history of Iran. This intelligent and beautiful woman was the savior of Iran both during her precious life and after her martyrdom.
Khayr Nisa Begum was the most powerful queen of the Safavid Empire, and she is the only Safavid queen who ruled the Safavid Empire.
Her son, Abbas the Great, was the greatest emperor of the Safavid empire, and also one of the greatest and most powerful emperors in history.

Persian is one of the oldest living languages in the world, and Persian literature is one of the most beautiful, oldest, and richest literature in the world that has influenced the literature of European and Asian countries.
Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'. The empire over which Cyrus ruled was the largest the Ancient World had ever seen and maybe to this day the largest empire ever. "
In all sources, Cyrus the Great is described as a good king.
The great historians such as Will Durant, Richard N. Frye, Arthur Upham Pope, Professor Patrick Hunt, Walther Hinz, Heidemarie Koch, Charles Freeman, etc, etc, and the Great western philosophers, such as Hegel, Nietzsche, etc, etc, all respected and praised Cyrus the Great, the Persian empire and Persia. Xenophon respected and praised Persia and Cyrus the Great.
" Many historians as well as writers on human rights, have supported the interpretation of the Cyrus Cylinder as a human rights charter. "
" Cyrus the Great was a remarkable leader in his benevolence and wise leadership. He ruled over the greatest empire the world had seen at the time. Yet, the most amazing thing about his life and exploits is that the Almighty God of the Bible foretold his exploits and actually named him around 200 years before he was even born. "

As an American, I feel bad that the Persian culture is underrated, since they had power multiple times. Especially since most believe the Persian had a lot of cheap soldiers and the Greeks had few pros. Thus, I doubt this since the Persian Army was great and powerful against the Greeks. I am not against anyone, I just believe the Persians should be recognized more than what most people believe, other than the “enemies of Alexander,” part.

@Mr. Qafqaz LOOL Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was Persian, not Turk.
@Mr. Qafqaz Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was Persian :
Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tūsī (Persian: محمد ابن محمد ابن حسن طوسی 18 February 1201 - 26 June 1274), better known as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (Persian: نصیر الدین طوسی; or simply Tusi /ˈtuːsi/[4] in the West), was a Persian polymath, architect, philosopher, physician, scientist, and theologian.[5]
Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was a well published author, writing on subjects of math, engineering, prose, and mysticism. Additionally, al-Tusi made several scientific advancements. In astronomy, al-Tusi created very accurate tables of planetary motion, an updated planetary model, and critiques of Ptolemaic astronomy. He also made strides in logic, mathematics but especially trigonometry, biology, and chemistry. Nasir al-Din al-Tusi left behind a great legacy as well. Some consider Tusi one of the greatest scientists of medieval Islam,[6] since he is often considered the creator of trigonometry as a mathematical discipline in its own right.[7][8][9]
The Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) considered Tusi to be the greatest of the later Persian scholars.[10] There is also reason to believe that he may have influenced Copernican heliocentrism.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
@Mr. Qafqaz Britannica, Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī : Persian scholar.
Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī, in full Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī, (born Feb. 18, 1201, Ṭūs, Khorāsān [now Iran]-died June 26, 1274, Baghdad, Iraq), outstanding Persian philosopher, scientist, and mathematician.
How dare you call our great empire a civilization
Persian history and culture fascinates me a lot as a Turk. It is like a source which when you get there transforms you into an another being.
When in Persia, nomadic steppe lords like Turks becomes statesmen, scientist, poets and renounce their past. Maybe you can relate it to their less established cultures and them being nomads.
But even Alexander the Great rejected his roots and described himself as the Persian Emperor despite the countless years of wars and huge greek culture.
Persia is really something else...
Thank you, we respect good Turkish people like you.
Alexander the Great never denied her ancestry, and other Turkic emperors never denied her ancestry.stop talking nonsense, everyone is tired of these kurds people introducing themselves as Turk and doing nonsense iranic sovenism.
Uvuvwevwevwe Osas
Iran is the name of a geography and no foreign nation settled in that geography has introduced itself as Persian. There is not a single example.Don't mistake geographical definitions for origin.
@@hannibalbarca2928 "To gain credibility with the Persians, Alexander took on many Persian customs. He began dressing like a Persian and adopted the practice of proskynesis, a Persian court custom that involved bowing down and kissing the hand of others, depending on their rank.
The Macedonians were less than thrilled with the changes in Alexander and his attempt to be viewed as a deity. They refused to practice proskynesis and some plotted his death."
He didn't need to do any of those especially when there was no claimants to the throne remained and subdued the Empire. Also Turks ruled the lands they conquered as Khans but in Persia they described themselves and ruled as Shahs.

The Script, Alphabet, and Cuneiform were invented by the Jiroft civilization in Iran/Persia. Archeologists believe the discovered inscription in Jiroft, Iran, is the most ancient script found so far and that the Elamite written language originated in Jiroft, where the writing system developed first and was then spread across the country. The Jiroft civilization in Iran/Persia is the oldest civilization in the world.

In the words of the American Professor Arthur U. Pope, who carried out extensive studies in ancient Persian and Islamic buildings: " The meaningful Impact of Persian architecture is versatile. Not overwhelming but dignified, magnificent and impressive. Archaeological excavations have provided extensive evidence supporting the impact of Sassanid architecture on the architecture of the Islamic world at large. Many experts believe the period of Persian architecture from the 15th through 17th centuries CE to be the pinnacle of the post-Islamic era. "
Islamic Golden Age actually was the golden age of Persia not the work of Arabs. An Arab-Islamic historian, Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), emphasized the crucial role of the Persians in promoting learning, sciences, arts, architecture, and medicine in Islamic civilization. Ibn Khaldun ( The Muqaddimah ):
“…It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been Persians…thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farisi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians… only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet becomes apparent, ‘If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it”…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians... retained their sedentary culture.”

Rhazes of Persia (Iran) was the greatest Persian polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. Rhazes is widely considered one of the most important figures in the history of medicine.[2] He was born in Ray (in Tehran province), Iran.
Rhazes is considered the father of psychology and psychotherapy, the father of pediatrics, a pioneer in ophthalmology, making leading contributions in inorganic and organic chemistry, also the author of several philosophical works, and also first to categorize the Hospital dept.
Rhazes also discovered numerous compounds and chemicals including alcohol and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid today is used to make many substances from fertilizers to detergents and has impacted everything from agriculture to our domestic lives. A nation’s industrial strength can also be gauged by the amount of sulfuric acid that it produces.
A comprehensive thinker, Rhazes made fundamental and enduring contributions to various fields, which he recorded in over 200 manuscripts, and is particularly remembered for numerous advances in medicine through his observations and discoveries.[4] He also wrote on logic, astronomy and grammar.[7]
As a teacher of medicine, Rhazes attracted students of all backgrounds and interests and was said to be compassionate and devoted to the service of his patients, whether rich or poor.[11]
Through translation, his medical works and ideas became known among medieval European practitioners and profoundly influenced medical education in the Latin West.[9] Some volumes of his work Al-Mansuri, namely "On Surgery" and "A General Book on Therapy", became part of the medical curriculum in Western universities.[5]

Additionally, he has been described as the father of pediatrics,[14][15] and a pioneer of obstetrics and ophthalmology.[16] For example, he was the first to recognize the reaction of the eye's pupil to light.[15] He was the first to clinically distinguish between smallpox and measles, and suggest sound treatment for the former.[8]

This looks like a new map... Not used to it but its cool!
Voidlet It has a lot more topography like elevation which i think is a really cool idea
The Map Is Literally A CAT.
It's smaller than the empire's were in reality, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were always part the empire's of Iranic people intill the mid Islamic era, which the population completely turkifies and don't include Persia anymore.
Such a fascinating region. Amazing and gorgeous visualization of the oftentimes turbulent history of Iran!
Thank you :)
The new cities were predominantly Muslim , and Iran became one of the most influential regions of Muslim intellectual activity . From around 1000 on the independent Iranian dynasties rapidly gave way to new dynasties of Turkic origin .

Europeans and Americans have a culture mixed with Persian culture. The culture of Christianity, Christmas and Santa Clauses, which is the culture of Europe and America and almost half of the people of the world, is an Iranian culture. Biblical Magi also referred to as The (Three) Wise Men were from Persia (Iran). Christmas and Santa Clauses are of Persian origin.
Even caring for dogs and cats is an ancient Persian custom. The ancient Persians loved animals such as dogs and cats and kept them in their homes. I love this beautiful custom of the ancient Persians, because I love animals and their lives are as valuable as humans.
Santa Clauses are the Biblical Magi also referred to as The (Three) Wise Men, who were from Persia (Iran).

Istanbul is a joke compared to ancient Persian cities. Many of the greatest men in European history fell in love with Isfahan, and other ancient Persian cities.
1. Andre Malraux, the famous French author and adventurer has said :
" Who can claim to have seen the most beautiful city of the world without having seen Isfahan?” This pearl of Persia with its well-proportioned mosques and turquoise blue dome and minarets rivaling the color of the sky surely offers endless delights to any traveler. "
2. Jean Chardin, a 17th-century French traveler, wrote that Isfahan :
" The greatest and the most beautiful town in the whole of Orient and was expressly made for the delights of love. "
3. In the 1930s, the British travel writer Robert Byron rated it “among those rarer places which are the common refreshment of humanity.” Here is a city that rivals the marvelous churches and domes of Florence and overwhelms you with its transcendental beauty. "
4. Because of its unmatched beauty and historic ambiance, Isfahan is called “Half the World” as dubbed for the first time by French poet Renier who visited this city in the 16th century. Esfahan, Isfahan or ancient Espadana is and has been the center of the province of Isfahan since 900 years ago.23
There’s a centuries-old saying that Isfahan is “half the world,” meaning it contains fully half of the earth’s wonders.
Isfahan is indeed the Florence of Orient, Persia's masterpiece, the Intrigue of Iran and the half rhymed famous adage “Isfahan Nesf-e Jahan” (Isfahan is half the world) veritably describe the splendor of a city shining along its life-giving river at the heart of Iran.
All Persian architects were well versed in mathematics, algebra and geometry and one can sense the proportions everywhere.
The room beneath the grand Nezam al-Molk Dome and the Seljuk-era hypostyle prayer halls either side just breathe history, while at the other end of the complex the Taj al-Molk Dome is widely considered to be the finest brick dome ever built.
There is a Kufic inscription on the bricks of the dome that shows it dates back to 1088 A.D. While relatively small, it is said to be mathematically perfect, matching golden ratio (1.61) , and has survived dozens of earthquakes without a blemish for more than 900 years.
Professor Arthur Upham Pope who has made a lot of researches on Iran says about Taj-al-Molk ,'This magnificent, silent, serious and mysterious monument is one of the most beautiful architectural works in the world.' To reach it you walk through a forest of imposing pillars. You could see astonishing brickworks as you walk, bricks packed like rows of books in a bookshelf. These domes are among the oldest parts of the mosque.
If Iran had no sanctions and not had a bad reputation in media and also a better government, Isfahan would have competed with Istanbul in number of tourists

Until 200 years ago, Baku was a Tat (Persian) city : " When the city of Baku was occupied in the beginning of the 19th century during the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813), the whole population of the city (about 8,000 people) were Tats.[16] "
Yunusov A. S. Azərbaycanda Islam (in Azeri Turkic); This is an official result of the first census of the population of Baku, gained by tsarist authorities."
The Turks called the Persians of Azerbaijan and the Caucasus "Tat". Tats are Persians, their language is a dialect of Persian. Baku was a Tat (Persian) city.
Since the 11th century Oghuz tribes, led by Seljuq dynasts started to penetrate into the region. The gradual formation of the Azeri people started. Apparently, in this period the Turkic exonym Tat or Tati, which designated settled farmers, was assigned to the South Caucasian dialect of the Persian language.[14]
Is the relationship between Persian and Tati similar to the relationship between Persian and Luri?
@@Praxeria Yes, the Tats are Persians, and the Turks called the Persians of the Caucasus and Azerbaijan "Tats".
Both Luri and Tati languages are dialects of the Persian language.
@@Persian_poetess_Mahsati Hmm, very interesting. Aren't Tat/Shrivani Persian spoken in Azerbaijan and Russia and Tati spoken in Iran different languages? Regardless, Tati is a Western Iranian language in the Caspian subgroup, while Tat/Shirvan Persian is an offshoot of Persian.

“the most important thing to emphasize is the resilience and intellectual power of the small class of Persian scholar-bureaucrats. Nostalgic for their heroic Sassanid ancestors, escaping from official duplicity and courtiership into either dreams of love and gardens, religious mysticism,
the design of splendid palaces and mosques, or the complexities of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, they bounced back from crisis after crisis, accommodated to their conquerors, made themselves indispensable again, and eventually reasserted something like control over them. In the process, they ensured (whether based in Baghdad, Balkh, Tabriz, or Herat) the survival of their language, their culture, and an unrivaled intellectual heritage. It is one of the most remarkable phenomena in world history. Behind the history described in this chapter, the Arab conquest and the succession of empires-Abbasid, Ghaznavid, Seljuk, Mongol, Timurid-lies the story of what ultimately proved to be a more important empire: the Iranian Empire of the Mind.”

Cyrus the Great is the greatest emperor in human history. Cyrus the Great is the pride of humanity.
" what's extraordinary about Cyrus, is that he appears as a paragon of princely statesmanship in the two pillars of Western cultures, that is the Roman tradition and the Bible".
Cyrus freed nations enslaved by the Babylonians. The friends and enemies respected and praised Cyrus the Great. The Bible called Cyrus the Great "Messiah". The Babylonians welcomed Cyrus the Great as a liberator.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" In the 18th Century, that model of religious tolerance based on a state with diverse cultures, but no single dominant religion, became a model for the founding fathers. People like Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and became the third president of the United States, had to rely on Xenophon's Cyropaedia as a reference for the life and leadership of the Persian king.
No European state managed to build tolerance into the structure of the state, the importance of Cyrus to those who wrote the constitution of the United States. These acts, which have been interpreted as allowing freedom of worship and repatriating deported people, have earned Cyrus a reputation as an enlightened monarch".
Xenophon wrote on how Cyrus ruled a diverse society based on tolerance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the great western philosopher, in his work "The Philosophy of History" introduces Persians as the "first historical people" in history.
George W.F. Hegel. The Philosophy of History :
" The Persian Empire is an empire in the modern sense - like that which existed in Germany, and the great imperial realm under the sway of Napoleon; for we find it consisting of a number of states, which are indeed dependent, but which have retained their own individuality, their manners, and laws. The general enactments, binding upon all, did not infringe upon their political and social idiosyncrasies, but even protected and maintained them; so that each of the nations that constitute the whole, had its own form of constitution.
As light illuminates everything - imparting to each object a peculiar vitality - so the Persian Empire extends over a multitude of nations and leaves to each one its particular character. Some have even kings of their own; each one its distinct language, arms, way of life and customs. All this diversity coexists harmoniously under the impartial dominion of Light ... a combination of peoples - leaving each of them free. Thereby, a stop is put to that barbarism and ferocity with which the nations had been wont to carry on their destructive feuds. "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All famous rulers after Cyrus the Great tried to imitate him, but none of them could match his glory and greatness.
Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'. The empire over which Cyrus ruled was the largest the Ancient World had ever seen and maybe to this day the largest empire ever. "
Abraham Lincoln was influenced by Cyrus the Great and the great Persian scientist, mathematician, astronomer, polymath, philosopher, and poet, Khayyam.

They may have been Iranians or Turks, or even of Kurdish or Arabic origin, but their appeal was religious rather than ethnic or tribal. Devotion to the Safavid order was widespread among the Türkmen tribes of Azarbayjan and Anatolia. Safavid followers wore a distinctive red turban and were known as Qizilbash, or “red-heads.” The Safavid order was both Sufi and Shiite in orientation, and it is thanks to the Safavids that Iran is a Shiite country today. Religious overtones aside,in most other respects theirs was a typical turkish dynasty. As late as the 1660s and 1670s, a Frenchman at the Safavid court could still write: “Turkish is the language of the armies and of the court; one speaks nothing but Turkish there, as much among the women as among the men, throughout in the seraglios of the great; this comes about because the court is originally of the country of this language, descended from the Türkmens, of whom Turkish is their native tongue.

The 5 Most Powerful Empires in History :
1. The Persian Empire
2. The Roman Empire
3. The Caliphate
4. The Mongol empire
5. The British Empire
The Achaemenid Persian Empire was founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C, who went by the title of King of Kings (Shahanshah). Although the Persian Empire came to an inglorious end at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 B.C, it had a lasting legacy on the subsequent development of world civilizations and future empires. Indeed, the Persian Empire was a pivotal empire because it was the first true empire that set the standard of what it meant to be an empire for future ones.
The Persian Empire existed at a unique time in history, when most of the oikumene, or civilized, settled, populated world was concentrated in or near the Middle East. As a result, the Persian Empire, which dominated most of the Middle East, ruled over a greater percentage of the world’s population than any other empire in history. Indeed, in 480 B.C, the empire had a population of approximately 49.4 million people, which was 44 percent of the global population at that time. The Persian Empire was the first empire to connect multiple world regions, including the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, India, Europe, and the Mediterranean world. It jumpstarted the concept of empires in places like Greece and India.
Various Persian campaigns succeeded at subjugating most of the world’s advanced civilizations at the time including the Babylonians, Lydians, Egyptians, and the northwestern Hindu region of Gandhara, in today’s Pakistan. It should not be forgotten that, notwithstanding exaggeration and misinterpretation, the Persians believed that they achieved their goals in Greece and that more Greeks lived in the empire than not. The Persian Empire ushered in a period of harmony and peace in the Middle East for two hundred years, a feat that has seldom been replicated.
The Persian Empire’s legacy to the world in terms of imperial ideas include the use of a network of roads, a postal system, a single language for administration (Imperial Aramaic), autonomy for various ethnicities, and a bureaucracy. The Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, influenced the development of key concepts like free will and heaven and hell in Abrahamic religions through Judaism.

I asked all the Turks around me, and I did not come across anyone who said yes, when they asked if they would look for the condition of being Turk before marrying a woman.In the Ottoman Empire, marriages were made from the harem, not the daughters of the great tribe, because the woman who came to the harem was not the daughter of a nobleman, so she was prevented from claiming rights in the dynasty.The harem was a place where Turk women were forbidden to enter because Turk women were strictly forbidden to be concubines.In other words, the Ottoman sultans should have met and married a Turki woman, otherwise there would be no marriage.Professor Ilber Ortaylı made a study called How the Ottoman Sultans spent their day.First of all, he adds that since the Ottoman sultans ruled one of the most powerful and longest-lasting states in the world, they would never come into contact with local languages in order to keep the peoples together and not appear invasive in the regions.
and the rest of the time, the Ottoman sultans, who worked on poetry, literature and art, also said that they did many war exercises such as archery, firearms and sword drills during the day.
that is, marriages were mostly made from the harem so that the big tribes and nobles could not claim rights in the state.
The Turks, who have always been distinguished by their military qualities, certainly won the hearts of romantic Persian women, who saw in them an example of masculinity, courage, and love of freedom. The choice of Turkic handsome men for love affairs has become so widespread that in Persian poetry "Turk" has become a poetic synonym for handsome men or for lovers.
@@irreligiousman3395 Because Turkic men loved Persian women.
Turkic men have always preferred Persian women to Turkic women, LOL
@@hannibalbarca2928 I respect Ilber Ortaylı. He is interested in Iran and he is fluent in Persian. He loves Persian culture and civilization and always praises the history of Iran.

Tamar the Great, the most famous and powerful queen in the history of Georgia, and also one of the famous queens of history, was a half Iranian woman.
Her mother was an Ossetian Iranian woman.
Tamar the Great, the Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age.[2] A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.[3]
Tamar's reign is associated with a period of marked political and military successes and cultural achievements. This, combined with her role as a female ruler, has contributed to her status as an idealized and romanticized figure in Georgian arts and historical memory. She remains an important symbol in Georgian popular culture.
Tamar the Great's husband was also an Ossetian Iranian man.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamar_of_Georgia
Georgian kings were mixed with Iranians. Many Georgian kings had Ossetian Iranian wives and mothers, such as 1. George III of Georgia, his wife was Burdukhan of Alania, she was Tamar the Great's mother.

2. George II of Georgia, his mother was Borena of Alania

3. Bagrat IV of Georgia, his wife was Borena of Alania
4. George I of Georgia, his wife was Alda of Alania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_I_of_Georgia

Truly an ancient nation. Greetings from Denmark.
Azerbaijan is the original homeland of the Persians, the first mention of Persians in history is from Azerbaijan. The Persians immigrated from Azerbaijan to other parts of Iran.
Persia is first attested in Assyrian sources from the third millennium BC in the Old Assyrian form Parahše, designating a region belonging to the Sumerians. The name of this region was adopted by a nomadic ancient Iranian people who migrated to the region in the west and southwest of Lake Urmia, eventually becoming known as "the Persians".[9][37]
The ninth-century BC Neo-Assyrian inscription of the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, found at Nimrud, gives it in the Late Assyrian forms Parsua and Parsumaš as a region and a people located in the Zagros Mountains, the latter likely having migrated southward and transferred the name of the region with them to what would become Persis (Persia proper, i.e., modern-day Fars), and that is considered to be the earliest attestation to the ancient Persian people.[38][39][40][41][42]

The 5 Most Powerful Empires in History :
1. The Persian Empire
2. The Roman Empire
3. The Caliphate
4. The Mongol empire
5. The British Empire
The Achaemenid Persian Empire was founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C, who went by the title of King of Kings (Shahanshah). Although the Persian Empire came to an inglorious end at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 B.C, it had a lasting legacy on the subsequent development of world civilizations and future empires. Indeed, the Persian Empire was a pivotal empire because it was the first true empire that set the standard of what it meant to be an empire for future ones.
The Persian Empire existed at a unique time in history, when most of the oikumene, or civilized, settled, populated world was concentrated in or near the Middle East. As a result, the Persian Empire, which dominated most of the Middle East, ruled over a greater percentage of the world’s population than any other empire in history. Indeed, in 480 B.C, the empire had a population of approximately 49.4 million people, which was 44 percent of the global population at that time. The Persian Empire was the first empire to connect multiple world regions, including the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, India, Europe, and the Mediterranean world. It jumpstarted the concept of empires in places like Greece and India.
Such a large empire could only have been put together by military might, and the Persian Empire’s military achievements were significant, though they are often forgotten by its sudden demise at the hands of Alexander’s armies.
Various Persian campaigns succeeded at subjugating most of the world’s advanced civilizations at the time including the Babylonians, Lydians, Egyptians, and the northwestern Hindu region of Gandhara, in today’s Pakistan. It should not be forgotten that, notwithstanding exaggeration and misinterpretation, the Persians believed that they achieved their goals in Greece and that more Greeks lived in the empire than not. The Persian Empire ushered in a period of harmony and peace in the Middle East for two hundred years, a feat that has seldom been replicated.
The Persian Empire’s legacy to the world in terms of imperial ideas include the use of a network of roads, a postal system, a single language for administration, autonomy for various ethnicities, and a bureaucracy. The Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, influenced the development of key concepts like free will and heaven and hell in Abrahamic religions through Judaism.

Safavids were of Kurdish origin, not Turk. Shah Ismail was the founder of the Safavid dynasty of Iran, ruling as its King of Kings (shahanshah) from 1501 to 1524.
Shah Ismail's father, Haydar, was the sheikh of the Safavid tariqa (Sufi order) and a direct descendant of its Kurdish founder,[9][10][11] Safi-ad-din Ardabili (1252-1334).

Lak Iranians were the horror of the Ottomans, Turk Qajars and Arabs, we defeated them.
Lak Iranians - Encyclopædia Iranica :
The Lak tribes have always been known for their warlike qualities...Javānmir of Hamāvand and his small number of fighters, who were terrifying both the Qajar and Ottoman rulers...
Freya Stark writes about the high position of the women in the society. She tells the story of several warlike women who were very much praised by the people. The Lak women had the tradition of joining their men in war (Stark, p. 133-34; Ḥājj Sayyāḥ, p. 324). This is apparently an old tradition among these people. It is said that the inclusion of women in the military was an interesting trait of the Zand tribe. The first bride of Karim Khan is said to have fought the Afghan forces alongside her husband (Izady, p. 54).
Zand Iranian Empire belongs to us Lak Iranians.
Lak Iranians are a mix of Medes Iranians, Scythian Iranians and indigenous people of Persia (Iran).
The most distinguished point in the history of the Laks is the fact that the Zand dynasty rose from among them. Its founder, Karim Khan (r. 1750-79), could be compared only to the best rulers during the ancient history of Iran.
Most Turk Qashqai people are of Laki Iranian origin, they are Turkified Lak Iranians.
After the fall of the Zand dynasty, many of their supporters were absorbed into greater nomadic confederations of Central Iran. Many sub-branches (tira) of the Baḵtiāri, Boir Aḥmadi, and especially Qašqāʾi tribal confederations still remember their origins among the Laks or carry a related names (Hamzehee, 2006, pp. 80 ff.). According to Raḥimi ʿOṯmāni (p. 51), thirteen Qašqāʾi subtribes are of Laki origin.
The excavation carried out in Ganj Dara near Harsin shows that the homeland of the Lak belongs to one of the cradles of agricultural and settled civilizations. This settlement with well-developed architecture was constructed more than 10,500 years ago (Smith, pp. 11 ff.; Huff, p. 17).
Lakestān was also included in the core land of the ancient Elam. The Kassites, who led the second phase of Babylonian civilization in Mesopotamia, are supposed to have gone from here. The wonderful artifacts known as “Luristan Bronzes,” whether belonging to the same Kassites or any other civilization, were all found in northern Lakestān (Calmeyer, p. 227).
According to Dietrich Huff, this area is of outstanding importance for the understanding of several ancient Iranian civilizations (Huff, p. 16). From the Islamic period, there exist ruins of the castle of Sarmāj near Harsin in a village of the same name.
In the classical Persian literary tradition - the entire vocabulary of which consists of stock phrases and images - "Turk' and 'Tajik' are stand-in terms for easily recognizable social stereotypes: one simple but violent; the other wily but civilized. Rūmi turns this on its head, however, in the following couplet: Attack upon attack came the darkness of night/Be strong like a Turk, not soft like a Tajik' (Yek hamleh va yek hamleh, āmad shab va tārīkī/chosti kon va "Torki' kon, na narmī va ‘Tājīkī'). Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di: 'Maybe they'll tell the King/"Your Turk (i.e., your Beloved) has spilled Tajik blood" (Shayad ke be padshah begüyand/Tork-e tö berikht khūn-e Tājīk), or elsewhere, 'Show your Tajik face, not Abyssinian black/That the Heavens may obliterate the face of the Turks' (Ru-ye Tājīkāna-t benmā, tā dagh-e habash/ Asman chehre-ye Torkān yaghma'i keshad).
Since Turkic men often ‘married up’ and started families with Tajik women, the bloodlines tended to become increasingly mixed over the generations. (Recent DNA studies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have shown no notable genetic difference between modern Uzbeks and Tajiks.) And since children typically spent their first years within the harem, the influence of Tajik mothers in constructing the identity of their mixed-race children was surely much greater than is admitted in the patriarchal written sources of the time. Military figures in particular often made much of their tough Turkic heritage, even as they sought to demonstrate their own cultivation by speaking Persian
and patronizing Persian courtly culture. The Tajik scribes, for their part, were
naturally required to flatter their patrons, but they flattered themselves as well
in whatever subtle ways they could.
- Richard Foltz, Chapter 4, Tajiks and Turks, The Turk-Tajik symbiosis
You said "Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di " He meant Turkic boys, all of them mean Turkic boys.
All Iranian people spoke the same language, with but slight variations : Strabo, in his Geographica (1st century CE), mentions of the Medes, Persians, Bactrians and Sogdians of the Iranian Plateau and Transoxiana of antiquity:[33]
The name of Ariana is further extended to a part of Persia and of Media, as also to the Bactrians and Sogdians on the north; for these speak approximately the same language, with but slight variations.
- Geographica, 15.8
In the Dna and Dse, Darius and Xerxes describe themselves as "an Achaemenid, a Persian, son of a Persian, and an Aryan, of Aryan stock".[28] Although Darius the Great called his language arya- ("Iranian"),[28] modern scholars refer to it as Old Persian[28] because it is the ancestor of the modern Persian language.[29]
Herodotus, in his Histories, remarks about the Iranian Medes that "Medes were called anciently by all people Arians" (7.62).[22][23] In Armenian sources, the Parthians, Medes and Persians are collectively referred to as Iranians.[32] Eudemus of Rhodes (Dubitationes et Solutiones de Primis Principiis, in Platonis Parmenidem) refers to "the Magi and all those of Iranian (áreion) lineage". Diodorus Siculus (1.94.2) considers Zoroaster (Zathraustēs) as one of the Arianoi.[22]
India's Mughal Empire was a Turkic-Mongol imperial power from Uzbekistan, that ruled most of the Indian subcontinent in 16th and 17th century.[32] In 1526, Babur, a Timurid descendant of Tamerlane and Genghis Khan from Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan, swept across the Khyber Pass and established the Mughal Empire, which lasted for over 300 years, ruling 1/4 of the world's population at a time.[33]
Yeah
The origin of mughal empire was Turco mongol but the empire is indian since it was totally in india
It didn't even touched Uzbekistan lol
The official name of Mughal empire was hindustan meaning india and they had indian blood for the most part
@@Ankit-d9f4u Being in India does not make it an Indian state. The Turkic Shahi state was also in India, was it an Indian state?Also, the definition of india was the name of the geography, but the name of the mughal state palace was and he never said he was Indian.
@@hannibalbarca2928 yes if turk shahi is in india then it's indian state that's how history work
If Mughals had control over Uzbekistan them maybe it could have been called as Turkic state but it didn't
Babur left Uzbekistan and never returned again
The core areas of empire are in india
Rest of the areas were just vassals that's it
They were ruling from india with most of official as indians
They also had indian blood as most of Mughals wer born to indian mother's
@@hannibalbarca2928 just because some one has Turkic gene doesn't mean the entire empire is Turkic because that's totally stupid
Everyone is African by this logic as humans first came from Africa
@@hannibalbarca2928 by the way turk shahi were based in Afghanistan not india
So turk shahi is afghan state simple as that
I have seen Turks claiming samanid empire as uzbek empire just because it was based in Uzbekistan although samanids were Persians
Agha Mohammad Shah Qajar was proud of his Turkic ancestry. Here, what he wrote:
“The whole world comes from Adam and Eve, and if it is proper for the tribe of Turanian princes to boast of glory and pride in greatness, then our branch is from the same root: the Qajar-Noyon clan is not lower than Mankyt, our glorious and worthy tribe is even higher Saldus, Jelair and Uzbek. Praise should be given to the Lord Peacekeeper that he bestowed the possessions of Turan and Iran, Byzantium and Russia, Chin and Machin, Hatay, Khotan and Hindustan on the great Turkic houses ”.
Who cares about Qajars?
It has always seemed strange to me that the Qajar dynasty massacred so many Persians and enslaved and killed so many Persians that even though they killed Iranians, they call them Iranians.They could not learn that the definition of Iranian is just a geographical belonging, like the definition of European, Turkistani or India.

In 1793 Lotf Ali Khan defeated the Qajars, and in 1794 he captured Kerman. But soon after he was besieged in Kerman for six months by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar. When the city fell to Agha Mohammad Khan, angered by the popular support that Lotf Ali Khan had received,[clarification needed]many of the male inhabitants were killed or blinded, and a pile was made out of 20,000 detached eyeballs and poured in front of the victorious Agha Mohammad Khan.[11] Many women and children were sold into slavery, and in ninety days the city turned into ruins. However, the Zoroastrians of Kerman who had been strong supporters of Lotf Ali Khan suffered the wrath of the founder of Qajar dynasty the most during this period.
