Ferdowsi the saviour of persia, culture, language, heritage, and civilisation
'When asked recently why the vast majority of Egyptians, the heirs to a great pre-Islamic civilization, speak Arabic rather than Coptic, a leading Egyptian historian replied: ‘Because we had no Ferdowsi.’
‘Ferdowsi wrote the Shahnameh primarily to preserve Persian history, language, and cultural identity, especially in the face of increasing Arab influence following the Arab conquest of Persia. He aimed to revive and celebrate Iran's pre-Islamic heritage, ensuring it wouldn't be forgotten.’
