Ghayasabadi's false words about the destruction of Elam civilization by Cyrus the Great

Mr. Ghiyathabadi makes claims that are not in harmony with archaeological findings and scientific research. For example, talking about the destruction of the Elamite/Khozian civilization(This type of writing is Ghiyasabadi) They are beaten by Cyrus. Anyone who knows a little about the ancient history of the Middle East knows that the great invasion of the Assyrians caused the civilizational prosperity of Elam to decline..

This inscription Ashurbani Paul It clearly proves this:

I Susa, the great holy city,I conquered the place of the gods and the place of their secrets at the will of Ashur and Ishtar…..I opened the doors of his treasures, where there was a lot of gold, wire and wealth… All the gold, silver and wealth of Sumer,Akkad and Cardonia(Babylon) which the previous kings of Elam gathered in it… I brought them as spoils of war to the land of Assyria. I saw the ziggurat of Susa, which was made of bricks glazed with lapis lazuli, I broke the ornamentation of the building, which was made of polished copper. Shushink is a mysterious god who resides in mysterious places and no one has seen how he becomes a god, Somod and ,Lakmer…..These gods and goddesses with their ornaments, their wealth……I brought to the land of Assyria….I removed the terrible figures of bulls that adorned the doors, I razed the temples of Elam to the ground and gave its gods and goddesses to the winds. My troops entered their sacred groves, where no stranger had ever passed by, They saw its secrets and set it on fire. I have the tombs of its old and new kings…..I destroyed and abandoned. (corpses)I exposed them to the sun and brought their bones to the land of Assyria….For one month and twenty-five days, I turned the road of the land of Elam into a desolate and barren desert. I planted salt and silho in those villages. I am the daughters of kings, wives of kings, All the old and new families of the kings of Elam, City policemen, Mayors of cities…..All specialists,Male and female residents….I sent four large and small endives, which were more numerous than locusts, as spoils of war to the land of Assyria…..wild donkeys,Gazelles and all wild animals from the blessing of my existence(In its ruins) They will live comfortably. Human voices (sound)Hoofs of large and small cattle,Screams of joy….I got the clothes from there.

By the way, Ilam gained value again during the Achaemenid period, and the Susa Palace is one of the most important works of the Achaemenid period.. In addition, it is not reported that Elam was conquered during the time of Cyrus the Great.

The majority of Persepolis tablets are in Elamite language (However, 90% of the names on the plaques are Iranian) And the Elamite/Khozi language existed until the Islamic period, and only after the Arab/Seljuq invasion, there is no name of the Khozi language anymore..

The Khozi language was the local language of the people of Khuzestan until several centuries after the conquest of Khuzestan by Muslims. Sojak said a pool(10th century AD) Regarding the people of Khuzestan, he quotes Al-Mamalek as an example:

Most of them can speak Farsi and Arabic, but they have their own language(The language of the Khozians) which is neither Hebrew nor Syriac nor Persian

Iranian Studies Vol. 17, No. 2/3 (Spring – Summer, 1984), pp. 195-213 (article consists of 19 pages) Published by: Taylor & Francis, Ltd Arabia or Khuzistan” Saint Soucek

Ibn Hawqal also says that despite the presence of Arabic and Persian, the Khozi speak another language, which is neither Syriac nor Hebrew..

Potts، The Archaeology of Elam: Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State، ۴۱۵٫

Gilber Lazar, based on the narration of Ibn Muqfa'a in Al-Fahrest, says that Iranians had 5 languages ​​at the end of the Sassanid period.:

Pahlavi, which is the language of Fahla land, means old Madh or Muslim mountains.

Dari is the language of the capital (Tisophon or Medaene).

Persian is the language of the clergy and scholars.

Khuze language which is common in Khuzestan.

Syriac that they spoke in literacy.

LAZARD، THE Cambridge history of iran، ۵۹۸-۵۹۹٫

Linguists agree that Khozi and Syriac are not Iranian languages; Syriac is an Aramaic language that was the common language of the people of Mesopotamia in those days, and Khozi, which was probably a remnant of the ancient Elamite language.. According to Lazar, the historical sources of the early Islamic centuries do not give us a general picture of Iranian languages, but it is possible to gather scattered information from geographers and historians.. (In the early Islamic centuries) The Khozi language survived in Khuzestan. It is said that this language could not even be written with the Arabic alphabet.

LAZARD، THE Cambridge history of iran، ۵۹۸-۵۹۹٫

Ibn Muqafa has mentioned about Khozi language:

Khozi was the language that kings and princes used to speak with their neighbors in private and during games and pleasure..

Absolute creation, glory. "History of the Persian language". Iranian Studies Quarterly (Iran Studies Foundation), Sh. ۱ (Spring 1368): 76 to 87. Revised 1/2/2013.

Richard Fry says that 10th century geographers who wrote in Arabic reported the existence of the Khozi language in the Zagros Mountains, which was interpreted as a continuation of the ancient Elamite language..

Richard Nelson Frye ,The history of ancient Iran,Volume 3, Part 7 , Page 27,1984

According to Martin Haug, the Khozi language is probably the secondary language in the Achaemenid rock carvings..

Martin Haug,Essay on the Pahlavi language. From the Pahlavi-Pazand glossary,page 36,1870,

As we can see, Khozi language and culture in all eras, that is, the era of the Mitanis (The first known Aryan group in the region) And the Medes, Achaemenids, Parthians and Sasanians were dynamic. According to Ibn Mufaqa, Ibn Nadim also mentioned the Khozi language as one of the five languages ​​of the Sasanian emperor (Three of these languages ​​were Iranian and two were Khozi and Syriac).

We know that in the Pahlavi inscriptions, the name Khuzestan is the same as Khuzestan. This is not the name of Khuzestan because “even” The same word is Elam in Persian language.

Friends can also look at the book below:

Daniel Potts, “The Archeology of Elam”, Cambridge University Press, 1999

In the last chapters, he wrote about the civilization of Elam during the Parthian and Sasanian eras. As in the hadiths of the Islamic era, the name of the Khuz tribe is also mentioned .

For example, see page 15 of this article:

http://www.yadeyar.ir/ebook/arabkhozi.pdf

http://azargoshnasp.net/history/ELAM/tarikhsokunatarab.pdf

(I have nothing to do with the truth or falsity of other claims in this article, and especially about the fact that Salman Farsi is a Khozi, it is also a baseless assumption, but the quotes in this article indicate the Khozi people.)

Of course, these fake hadiths cannot be pure from the Prophet or Imams, But those who forged these hadiths point to the reality of the Khozi people.

“Do not dwell in the same land with the Khozis, and do not take their daughters as wives, for they are infidels.”..

“If I survive, I will sell the Khozis and pay their price to the treasury”

“There is no worse people on the earth than the Khozis.. There was no prophet from them and no prominent person..”

Of course, we know that these fake hadiths were forged by the Umayyad and Abbasid Arabs to destroy the Khozi people, because the pure imams and the Prophet of Islam (ع) They did not say such words and the hadith is very frequent which is found in the most reliable books of hadiths : “Salman is from our family” It shows that these dignitaries are beyond these tribal words.

In any case, the Khozi tribe was mentioned in the late Abbasid period!.

…

This people lives in the time of the Mitanni/ Medes/ Achaemenids/ Parthians/ Sasanians. (Iranians/Aryans) continued and his language was used abundantly in Persepolis and it was one of the five languages ​​mentioned by the Sasanian emperor; The found works of the Achaemenids show that they benefited from the achievements of the Elam civilization. There is an inscription of the Assyrian kings who destroyed the civilization of Elam, and it was the Achaemenids who renewed the civilization of those areas. Then Mr. Ghiyasabadi talks about the destruction of this civilization at the hands of Cyrus?!
