#and theres like...

@secretsofparis right tell em!! like the term “Aryan” was barely used as a label until the Pahlavi era and before that it was used in ancient scripts to loosely refer to a GROUP of tribes/cultures/languages of which Persians were a part of so like... Persians have always been just Persians....it makes no sense to even call Persians “Aryans” that was a concept literally created by nationalists and Persian supremacists lol and it’s no coincidence that Iranian nationalism emerged and developed around the same time as when it developed in Europe and Nazi Germany thats..........not accidental....esp considering Iran’s connection and relationship with those countries at the time like u mentioned...
