“In the Avesta, Zarathustra himself is called ‘the Philosopher.’

‘Philosoph’ is a Greek word that means ‘friend of wisdom.’

Zarathustra was the first human being in history who called himself a philosopher and bought the title of philosophy into the world.

That is why the ancient Greeks considered Zoroastrianism the origin and mother of philosophy.

Core message of the meme ✨📜✨

Jorjani is making a bold historical and metaphysical claim that is very popular in Iranian nationalist and neo-pagan circles:

• Zoroaster wasn’t just a prophet; he was literally the world’s first philosopher.

• The entire Western concept of philosophy (and therefore Western civilization itself) ultimately traces back to ancient Iran and the Aryan revelation of Zarathustra.

• Therefore modern Iranians have the oldest and highest claim to wisdom, science, and spiritual truth — higher than Greece, higher than Abrahamic religions.

In short, it’s the Iranian version of the “We wuz kangz… but with actual ancient texts and a real historical claim” meme.

It’s used to pump up national and racial pride and to argue that a revived Zoroastrian/Aryan worldview should replace Islam and once again lead the world.

These Jorjani + Mithraeen.com images form a whole genre of Persian dissident “return-to-roots” propaganda that’s extremely common on Telegram channels, Instagram, and among the anti-regime diaspora.
