Beji Erân پروفسور زرتشت ستودِ KFP: what sasanian called their country ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The Sasanian Empire, which ruled from 224 to 651 CE, referred to their realm as "Ērānshahr," meaning "Dominion of the Aryans" or "Empire of Iran." This term emphasized their identity as the successors of the Achaemenid Persians and underscored their cultural and political heritage. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART The term "Ērānshahr" is derived from Pahlavi where "Ērān" signifies "of the Iranians" and "shahr" translates to "kingdom" or "empire." This designation is evident in various inscriptions and titles from the Sasanian period. For instance, Ardashir I, the founder of the Sasanian dynasty, referred to himself as "Ardašīr šāhānšāh ērān" in Middle Persian, which means "Ardashir, king of kings of the Iranians." His successor, Shapur I, expanded this title to "šāhānšāh ērān ud anērān," meaning "king of kings of the Iranians and non-Iranians," reflecting the empire's territorial expansions. WIKIPEDIA The adoption of "Ērānshahr" as the official name of their country highlights the Sasanians' emphasis on their Iranian identity and their role as a unifying force for the Iranian peoples. This nomenclature also underscores the empire's aspiration to revive the glory of the ancient Achaemenid Empire, positioning themselves as its rightful heirs. Share ZA ChatGPT said: ChatGPT During the Parthian Empire (247 BC – 224 AD), the region corresponding to modern-day Iran was known as the Parthian Empire or the Arsacid Empire, named after its ruling Arsacid dynasty. The Parthian Empire was a major Iranian political and cultural power centered in ancient Iran. WIKIPEDIA Internally, the inhabitants referred to their land as "Arya," "Iran," "Iranshahr," or "Iranzamin," meaning "Land of the Aryans." These terms have been used by the Iranian people since ancient times, even before the Parthian period. WIKIPEDIA Therefore, while externally it was known as the Parthian or Arsacid Empire, internally, the region was referred to by names that emphasized its identity as the land of the Aryans. ➖➖➖ کانال اصلی @Zartosht_Setodeh کانال آرشیو @ASPS_KFP
