* ''The people will be victorious''

* ''A thousand events will happen''
Pourpirar believes that most of ] gradually penetrated from sourrounding regions of Iranian plateau to modern Iran during the first centuries of Islam. His reasoning for this claim is that if modern Iranians were continuation of ancient Iranians, then after several millennia of coexistence they had been already assimilated into one ethnic pool. He also believes that differences in regional cultures, musics, dances, etc. of various Iranian ethnic groups who virtually all of them are inhabited in border areas, point to the diverse origins of modern Iranian ethnic groups.

== Responses ==
He thinks that Arab tribes are likely descendants of Semitic survivors of Mesopotamia who escpaped to deserts frm Purim incident. The Iranian Arab intellectual ] quotes Pourpirar as a source for the claim that Arabs are indigenous to Khuzestan and predate the arrival of ]s . This claim has been used by groups such as the ]-based to claim that Persians conquered Khuzestan province from Arabs in 1925, and that previous to this date, Khuzestan was entirely Arab since ancient times.


The following books responded to Pourpirar's claims:
==Proponents and opponents==
Pourpirar's opponents accuse him of being antagonistic towards Persian history and civilisation. Pourpirar has already stated that he does not recognize Persians as a real ethnic group rather than a baseless ethnicity. Many accuse him of being ], a charge he does not deny. His methodology and research is also severly criticized for lacking even a semblence of objectivity and scientific inquiery. He is accused of trying to forge a fictitious ] and blame it on 6th CBC Jews.

His proponents believe that because of his revealing of alleged forgery in Iranian historiography he is a victim of systematic propaganda attacks and pressure, for instance some of his books don't have the permission from Iranian Ministry of culture and Islamic guidance to be published.

==Personal views==
Regarding the importance of Arabic language for a predominantly Muslim country like Iran, he has stated that: ''"It is very unfortunate that we can not put the Persian language aside and replace it with the language of Koran. However the future of Iran is at the hand of Islamic Unity. Spreading Arabic language among Iranian youths and incorporating it more seriously into the education system can make a foundation for such Islamic Unity."''<ref name="emrooz"></ref>

Pourpirar has reportedly praised ] and refered to him as the "Great Arab hero" and the "symbol of resistance<ref name="emrooz"/> He is a strong supporter of current Iranian President ].{{Fact|date=April 2007}}.

GenreHistory

Nasser Pourpirar (Persian: ناصر پورپیرار; born Nasser Banakonandeh; ناصر بناکننده; pen name: Naria; ناریا‎; 1940 or 1941 – 27 August 2015) was an Iranian writer and historical revisionist. He was known for his controversial theories questioning the academically recognized historiography of Iran from Achaemenids to the beginning of the Safavid period.

Early life

Pourpirar was born in 1940 or 1941 in Tehran, Iran. Pourpirar was closely involved with the Tudeh Party of Iran, a major Iranian political party with Communist or left tendencies. After the 1979 Revolution and after he embezzled the party's money then he joined the revolutionaries. On August 27, 2015 he died of Parkinson's disease at the age of 75.

Pourpirar's claims

Pouripirar claimed that Purim (recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther) was a genocide against indigenous civilised Iranians committed by the Achaemenid Shah Darius I and his Jewish allies. He claims that "after the great genocide committed by Jews in Purim, the land of Iran was completely wiped out of human beings until the beginning of Islam."

He considered the Behistun Inscription as a symbol of this genocide. He claimed that construction of Persepolis was never finished and that the Achaemenid dynasty was a group of ancient barbarian Slavic invaders that ended with Darius the Great after they returned to their homeland in the Eurasian steppes. The rest of the Achaemenid, Parthian, Sassanid, Tahirid, Ghaznavid, Seljuqid and Samanid dynasties according to Pourpirar were fabricated by historians of mostly Jewish background as part of a Jewish conspiracy.

According to Pourpirar a few historic sites that are said to be Parthian are either clearly related to Greeks or are modern forgeries. He claimed that all inscriptions said to be Sassanid are modern forgeries. He claimed that historical personalities such as Mazdak, Mani, Zoroaster, Babak, Abu Muslim, and Salman the Persian were invented by modern Jewish historians.

Regarding the reliability of Iranian dynasties he wrote: "So everyone should know that the builders of the false historical and social lies of the last two thousand years between Purim till the Safavids were the Jews. They wanted to hide their genocide and thus used lies by fabricating history."
