Yes, the context however is not cultural continuity but national continuity. When someone claims Iran is bound to win because of 2500 years of empire, that seems like a joke considering the amount of foreign rule it endured. Some hermetic cultural continuity except for language is also doubtful, Iran culture is grounded in Arabian culture no less than it is grounded in Persian culture. Hence the entire national unifying concept of Islamic Republic and heir to the Khalifates. Regarding Susa, as far as I understand they haven't spoken an Indo-European language and Elamite is not related to Persian at all, so why do you think it shows cultural continuity? |
