REDPILLS ON ARYAN PERSIA?
I was intrigued by a series of articles that have appeared by Jason Reza Jorjani (who is himself a white Iranian-American of Persian and Northern European descent) on the Indo-Aryan heritage of Ancient Persia and what it might mean for Europe if there ever emerges an Iranian cultural renaissance in the future:
- The Return of Zarathustra - Part I: righton.net
- The Return of Zarathustra - Part II: righton.net
- The Return of Zarathustra - Part III: righton.net
- The Return of Zarathustra - Part IV: righton.net
- The Return of Zarathustra - Part V: righton.net
Criticisms of Jason Reza Jorjani are welcome. I have several. But no matter what you might think of some of Jorjani's far-out techno-futurist utopian ideals and historical speculations about the possible influences of ancient Persia on ancient Greece and Europe at large, he raises a lot of good points and illuminates a lot of facts about ancient Persia that many modern people don't realize. Normies today tend to assume that Iran has pretty much always been a bitter Muslim country full of brown people in the Middle East. However, that wasn't always the case. The history of Persia is way more profound than that. Ancient Iranians were originally a white Indo-European people before the later Arab Muslim, Turkish, and Mongol invasions. The famous Sufi poet Rumi was mostly likely a white ethnic Iranian man whose family managed to evade the Mongol conquest of Persia by fleeing to Anatolia (white flight once again). You might have already seen Jorjani explain it here on Red Ice a while back: youtube.com
In fact, this Persian heritage of Iran may confirm a lot of suspicions for people who have studied the curious pattern of Islamic intellectual history. Most of the very best Muslim scholars were actually Persian philosophers who wrote in Arabic and under Arabic names simply because of the historical result of the Arab Muslim conquest of the Indo-Aryan world.
In this thread, I'd like you to help me gather up as many legit (politically incorrect) sources and redpills on Aryan Persia.
Are there any particular books on Persia which come to mind that don't censor or downplay the facts about their ethnic and cultural heritage? I've found a few titles on ancient Iran which reluctantly mention the "Aryan" aspect, but they usually follow it up with a lot of kvetching about how it's insignificant and no one should dare try to infer too much about it in this newly enlightened post-WWII climate. Got anything better?
