The Iranian Origin of Croats - Vexillology and Folklore

http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/common_origin_croats_serbs_jats.php

Further compelling evidence comes from vexillology (the scientific study of flags). Thus, the Croatian flag is based on the chessboard, whence many Croatian historians consider Croats as eponymic descendants of the Sassanid chess master & minister Bozorgmehr, just as the Kambojas are eponymic descendants of Cambyses and Georgians are viewed as the eponymic descendants of King George II. In this regard, Prof. Mandic notes, "Ancient Croatian folk art bears eastern and Iranian traces, particularly the Croatian "troplets". The Croats also brought over from Iran their national coat of arms with its 64 red and white checkers. (11: Strzycowskyi, 15-63, 156-181; Dado-Peranic, op.cit., 21-24; Mandic Hrvatski kockasti grb, 639-652)" (Mandic 1970, Ch.1)

Furthermore, "The organization of the state among the southern Croats with the king, bans and zupans at its head similar to that of the northern Croats; in addition the religion, national customs, dress and arts of the southern Croats bear Iranian traces, just like the Croats in the north. " (Mandic 1970, ch.3)

Indeed, a total of 120 Croat and non-Croat university professors and several academics have published 249 research works elaborating the Old Iranic origin of Croats (Tomicic 1998).


A researcher notes similarities in folklore as well, "There are old Croatian customs and national poems that have been cited as evidencing lingering traces of the fire and sun worship of the Iranians. Fire, the essence of human origin, the sun, and the great boiling cauldron around which the warriors spring in the age old kolo or circle dance, all these are ingredients in the national lore of the Croatian nation. The Croat vilas or fairy witches resemble the peris of Iranian mythology. Then there is the legendary Sviato zov, the personification of strength, a being almost too huge for the earth to bear. He is strongly reminiscent of the "elephant-bodied" Rustum of Persian legend." (Guldescu 1964, pt.1.II)

Research studies on Croatian clothing reveals similarities with Sassanian and other Iranic styles both in terms of male and female clothing.

@aligatork I suspect all these countless ''identity'' videos are being put out on YT by CIA to stirr ethnic strife among immature viewers. TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER...

[aligatork]

I don't know if croats are related with Persians,but there are few facts about Persians, which are fully unknown by majority of people in WEST.

A) today Iran is a multiethnic country with different races and religions

B)around 25-30% of today IRANIANS speaks Turkish

C)in southern IRAN, there are related to Arabs or Pakistani

D)from today IRANIAN population maybe around 40% are ethnically PERSIANS

E)lot of people call themselves Persians, just they speak Persian

but we all are humans ;)

@bartol1414 No, Serbs come from the Arabic ''Saraf'' - ''moneychanger'', ''person betraying his own for money''... while ''Horvats'' is from Arabic word for folks living by war, by the sword. P.S. Serbs recognize in their name the word ''Srebro'' - Silver :-D

Lol, we are not so pure...you know that in Southern Croatia is the biggest concentration of preroman genes now. And on the Dalmatian Islands people worlds have biggest concentration of roman genes in the world.

Croatians have (in a big period of time) mixed with Illyrians and Romans.

[Natalie851000]

@checkeriran Yes soo true indeed. Croatians are pure Iranians and Aryans. They have Persian Origin.

They are our Aryan Brothers. God Bless our Croatian Brothers and Sisters.

@checkeriran Croats in Germany were "gastarbeiters" (guestworkers) who moved there in 20th century
