Hey there Explorers! I plan on doing a Q&A video sometime in the near future, so if you have an questions to ask respond to this comment here! Besides, that, my next videos will be about Fontaine and Chenyu Vale, so stay tuned
As an Iranian I absolutely loved Sumeru's Persian inspirations. The refrences in lore and characters and map designs were so beautifully done and Sumeru's forest truly feels like home to me. I loved the representation and writing & design for Kaveh so much that he's been my main for a year now. Your video is SO AMAZING and so informative. It even taught me many new things. Sadly the Iranian inspirations can go unrecognized by some players but It's so amazing to see essays like this.
I made this video specially for people like you, my Iranian fans 😊 My Sumeru content is what made me take off, and my first ever fans on the channel were Persians who saw my Nilou video back in 2022. Thank you guys 🥹
some character notes! -nilou also features two of irans colors persian blue and persian red! -nilou wears gold,pearl,(and possibly)chalcedony and jasper! all of which worn by persians. -ram horns represent masculinity and fertility -and her dance is a mix of raghs-e-pa,involving footwork,and solo dances which involve arm movements. -the anahitian blessing is mentioned ingame which is a refrence to anahita,rhe zoroastrian goddess of wisdom water and fertility -the anahitan blessing vould be from nahidah as in her voicelines she mentioned blessing us and her name propbably comes from the modern version of anahita,nahid. -for kaveh his hairclips are reminiscent of the derafsh kaviani a symbol of iranian resistance. -his clothes resemble womens persian clothing with the salwar(pants)openchested top and giweh shoes! -he also has persian colors,persian red,blue and green. -faruzan has motifs based of minakari a way of decorating plates -her dress is remisncient of dresses worn by girls during the qajar era -her name also relates to firuzeh the persian word for turquoise(explaining her color pallette.) this isnt everything but its some major things in these characters! ﾟ+.ﾟ(´▽`人)ﾟ+.ﾟ
I live near a Persian community here in Los Angeles, and they all use that flag :) so I respect their decision by using that flag anytime I talk about Iran 😊
Nahida It was also inspired by the Persians of India during the time of the Sassanid empire the Arab invasion and they Immigrate to India And there are still now are lot people
Okay but why did "Arabian Nights" work so well with the Genshin montage? (Also overall this was an amazing video- I really appreciate the depth and detail he goes into, and am amazed by the sheer amount of historical knowledge he has)
Hold up, I think you misread some info. Kathak wasn’t really “brought” by Mughals in India, although they did huge contributions to it. Kathak is actually way ancient, it has its origin from natyashastra, arguably the oldest dance disciple of the world, it gets its name from the kathakars community known for courtesan dances. Persian influences came later when Mughal kings integrated the dance in the tawaif courtesanship culture. Also, the word “darshan” doesn’t only mean sight, it also means philosophy, or a school of thought. If you actually read about the six darshans of Hinduism, they have great parallels to the six darshans of sumeru akademiya, just like the seven Persian deities. And if you observe the logos of all the darshans, they actually represent animals from the indian subcontinent.
27:09 one more fact the Word Shatranj is Persian/Arabic derived from Sanskrit chaturaṅga Really great video to learn about Persian culture included Also thanks to genshin i didn't had knowledge of Persian culture(also Arabic/Egyptian )but after sumeru i was able to learn many new things I found it that Persian and Sanskrit words have so much similarity I guess because of both have a common Indo-Iranian orgin But these two also opposite meaning for words like Persian (Daeva) represent bad but in Sanskrit (Dev/Deva) represent good Again For Persian (Ahura) represent good but in Sanskrit (Asura) represent bad And the concept of Asha in Zoroastrianism is similar to the concept of Dharma in Hinduism 38:26 100% agree it's so beautiful mixture of culture also my favourite nation Especially music diversity
Damn really good video, i came here from your Fontaine video and i didn't know that Sumeru had so much iranian culture and it seems interesting, i though it was mostly arabic/Indian with minor iranian and turkish culture, it's even sadder to see the state of Iran today with it's islamic regime
I appreciate more content creators who upload every few months a banger of a video than those who upload weekly videos who are lacking in information and quality. I'm always happy to see a new video from you because you take your time to research everything and provide a lot of details.
Infact Pre-Islamic Persian culture and Indian culture are very similar to each other. This was a treat to watch as I made so many connections with the culture in India due to how much the two civilisations have influenced each other! You deserve more views this is some of the best content for lore enthusiasts.
kaveh is also kurdish and also from kurdish mythology,, his clothes and shoes are kurdish, his ascension flower is the kurdistan freedom flower/national flower, his ideology is inspired by kurdish freedom movements, and there is also sooo much more
Another amazing video ♥ I fell in love with Sumeru through your analysis. I don't know much about these cultures, so a lot of thse references were lost on me till now ^^; But yeah, Fontaine is my fav region, so really looking forward to learning more about it with you! Thank you!
I find Nahida, the Archon of Sumeru, to be extremely well balanced between the cultures in her country and using the common/shared mythos of two or more at a time in forming her design and personality. Nahida is based off of Anahita, Sarasvati, Khonsu, and has powerful buddhist ties to Avalokitesvara and Tara, and perhaps even Guanyin and Kannon, aside from the hindu inspirations you've already mentioned in your other videos. All of these motifs combine in Nahida and connect her persian, arabic, hindu and buddhist subjects. It also reinforces the idea that Nahida is an emanation of the tree of the world which touches every country and culture. (Nahida herself goes on to have further greek, germanic and norse roots as well, taking her cultural inspo literally from westernmost europe (scandinavia) to easternmost asia (japan)) This video is excellent and taught me so much new history and culture. Thank you so much. It's exciting to look for irl references to real myths and history in genshin 😊😊❤
A fine love letter this is to Sumeru's worldbuilding, indeed. I loved your emphasis on the diverse and rich interplays between cultures in the nation that was inspired by real history. Great show, great work, and also, great conversations in the comments!
One thing to top this off is that Ahura mazda literally means Wise God. Still cant understand why you aren't getting thousands of views this is such a good video One more thing I don't know whether they made the main lore of Sumeru intentionally like the exact spot Iran is right now today but defeating the Academia (the clergy) sure is fun. I genuinely think it was intentional. oh and Azar is a Persian name meaning Fire like in Azerbaijan meaning protectors of fire.
Well, beside mughal empire, delhi sultanate also have some references in sumeru being corps of thirty is based on irl delhi sultanate corps of 40, also those guy bring persian influence to india waay earlier than mughal did
Fun fact : you can speak about Mughals in India but Delhi sultanate... They performed genoside, so pls don't mention then so casually, specially when intentions are good
Subscribed ! You deserve way more attention, this was beautiful work. My best friend of years is Persian and I was so happy to see her culture beautifully represented in Sumeru. You still managed to point out many details I'd missed and educate me a little about zoroastrianism so thank you for that.
So after watching the video, I have some feedback. The overall quality of the video and the research and effort you put into everything really shows! You're also a great speaker, it was easy to follow along with what you were saying and you really kept me engaged throughout the video. I'm going to be using this series quite a bit when I'm making my own theories or writing fanfic about Genshin. The only real criticism I have is with the audio. Long explanation ahead. I have sensory processing issues, so certain sounds can really bother me. It's a symptom of ASD. I bring this up because my sensory issues were triggered by your harsh "s" sounds and something that sounded like you were tapping the microphone every now and then. Both are very faint and barely noticeable to most but because of my disorder I can't really ignore the sound. If you didn't know, sensory processing issues make it difficult to tune out sounds that other people can ignore without much effort. Because of how my brain works, I have to consciously block out unwanted sensory input, and if I don't, I end up feeling overwhelmed. Both options take a lot out of me. It's the same for other neurodivergent people. So because of this condition, and because your audio is the way it is, it takes a lot of energy for people like me to watch or listen to your videos. Honestly, it's not your fault. I'm assuming you didn't know, so I figured I'd tell you. It's pretty common to not realize how triggering certain sounds can be for certain people. I end up having to click off of a lot of videos because I don't have the spoons to tune out the noise. But anyways, I think using specific settings with your audio editing software can soften those sounds, although I'm not familiar with the specific steps you need to take to do this. If you fix the audio, your viewers will have a much easier time listening to your videos. Otherwise, I have no complaints. This video is great and is definitely going to be one I watch again sometime.
@@catdownthestreet thank you for your feedback! To make my content more accessible to all, I will make sure to soften my pronunciations and fix my audio for the ease of listening comfortably. Thank you
37:04 not trying to be rude or anything but the instrument that plays there is not santur but sitar *i think?* And if i were to be not mistaken, "Yazadaha" pool is a combination of Sanskrit words "Yasa" (fame) and "daha" (pool) according to fandom wiki and Chinese translation of the subregion, aside from these i don't have any doubts regarding this well done informative video :D
I do agree with the Sitar argument. There is such a specific dissonance and vibration that the Sitar makes and I still recognize it whether Hoyo-Mix alters the sound to make it more muffled like in portions of God-DevouringMania.mp3 or very electronic and violent-sounding like in BeforeTheLightFades.mp3 However, an example I can give where the Santur is prominent is in SwirlsOfShamsir.mp3 from 0:48-1:00 doing that iconic leitmotif that Hoyo-Mix does for Genshin’s battle themes. You can hear the sequence of notes being done with the Santur at the front and some strings to serve as a support to the high-frequency sounds of the Santur.
@@Vzzerdrix yeah yeah, though the example you gave does indeed have apparant santur usage clearly playing photon of fluctuation leitmotif, it's still hard for non-experienced ears to hear it clearly, maybe "white wood memorabilia" ost is best "example" for universal understanding as main instruments in that are only bansuri and santur, Trivia/speculation (didn't have to read if don't wanted to-): beautifully enough that ost in game only plays during dunyarzard's scene on that bench. That ost Perfectly shows her devotion and relationship with dendro archon if we're to go by logic santur represents her(as her name in from Persian tales)while bansuri represents nahida and forest(which is already evident).
Thank you so much for including Iran's Original flag. Nowadays Iran and its beautiful culture have been buried in the darkness of Zahak's Dictatorship. As an Iranian, I hope for the world's Absolute and immediate peace. ❤ #Woman_Life_Freedom
34:15 Also Azerbaijan and other Turk people, i really hope to see central asian and caucasus culture in snezhnaya since it didn't appeared in game that much also they are post-sovietic countries
Actually we did get representation, not as much as arabs and persians ofc but still quite a ok amount, obviously apart from food, Dori and npc names, for exemple names in the desert map like Temir mountains and Tunigi Hollow, Temir and Tunigi are of turkic origin. Characters in the lore of the game like Turan Khagan, Muzaffar Dey and Humayun Gürkan, "Turan" being a word used by iranian to describe the turkic people to the east of İran (central asians) and also a Shahnameh figure where his name still has the same meaning, Khagan being turkic/mongolic and is used by other lore locked characters, Saleh (a city state) is a Khaganate too, Muzaffar is ofc arabic but the Dey in his name come from the times of the Ottoman empire and is ofc turkish, it's kinda like Turks having arabic names which is pretty common, Gürkan being obviously of turkic origin as a name and Humayun being persian, idk if there more but that's the turkish inspirations i could find apart from the more obvious ones
@@Nationalist166 Yes and especially there is ancient Ay khanum city "ay hanım şehri" in lore of desert but i hope we will get more representations bc there is a lot of turkic native people in russia
@@daevidd We might tbf, like Turkic/Slavic mixed names, i wish there were a lore where a representation of turkic people in game would have migrated from the chasm overworld (which is based off mongolia) and got to Sumeru, would have been a good reference to the turkic migration into Anatolia in west Asia
Love the video ❤ you did such an amazing job educating us I can't wait for what's to come. On a side note does anyone think genshin is our generations lord of the rings. I mean that by using different cutures, myths, and Legends genshin is abble to make its own unique story just like Tolkien once did.
I think Genshin and many other games count as our generation’s novels. Quests are like chapters and we get to experience stories instead of just read them
@@ExplorersCompass82 you are probably right about that, my only question is what's next. We went from oral stories, to writen tales, to books, to tv/movies, now games. The only thing i can think of is some SAO full dive VR or cyberpunk brain dance where we actually feel and experience what's going on.
I would like to thank the author for his work and make a small correction. The fact is that there is no "Moscow architecture" in the game. Or I somehow misunderstood the author's wording. Moscow was built more than 875 years ago, but its original architecture has nothing to do with "Lazzo on a Winter Night". When the Russian Tsar Peter I came to power, he set a new trend in the development of Russia by building the "Northern Capital" - St. Petersburg, more than 300 years ago. St. Petersburg was an example of European culture, in particular the famous European architects of that time. Peter I was a great admirer of France and Italian art. Therefore, St. Petersburg looks like a European city. In "Lazzo" we see a snow palace (cathedral), which is very similar to the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, but in its architectural style, there is not Christian, but Catholic symbolism. In the 18th century, in Russia, at balls they communicated mainly in French. Therefore, it is possible to expect that in Snezhnaya, there will be an atmosphere of Fontaine, and to call the architecture of Snezhnaya "Moscow architecture" is not quite correct. The Moscow style of architecture is different.
Ngl i wanna thank hoyo for what they have done for us. Because us persians dont really get that much representation in media and even if we do, its often not pretty accurate

Really a neat learning video. I’ve been waiting for a cultural influence of France on Fontaine for months
As an Iranian, I thank you ❤❤❤
As Iranian diaspora there is so much about my people which I never had the chance to learn. Thank you for shining a light on our true culture.

this isnt everything but its some major things in these characters! ﾟ+.ﾟ(´▽`人)ﾟ+.ﾟ
Calling this "quality content" is an understatement, please do more
This makes me so happy as a persian also thank you for the flag in the thumbnail :D

Really great video to learn about Persian culture included
Also thanks to genshin i didn't had knowledge of Persian culture(also Arabic/Egyptian )but after sumeru i was able to learn many new things
I found it that Persian and Sanskrit words have so much similarity I guess because of both have a common Indo-Iranian orgin
But these two also opposite meaning for words like Persian (Daeva) represent bad but in Sanskrit (Dev/Deva) represent good
Again For Persian (Ahura) represent good but in Sanskrit (Asura) represent bad
And the concept of Asha in Zoroastrianism is similar to the concept of Dharma in Hinduism

One thing to top this off is that Ahura mazda literally means Wise God.

One more thing I don't know whether they made the main lore of Sumeru intentionally like the exact spot Iran is right now today but defeating the Academia (the clergy) sure is fun. I genuinely think it was intentional.
oh and Azar is a Persian name meaning Fire like in Azerbaijan meaning protectors of fire.
Both the Akademiya and Iranian Regime banned dancing. So watching our characters overthrow them was so cool 😂

When the Russian Tsar Peter I came to power, he set a new trend in the development of Russia by building the "Northern Capital" - St. Petersburg, more than 300 years ago. St. Petersburg was an example of European culture, in particular the famous European architects of that time. Peter I was a great admirer of France and Italian art. Therefore, St. Petersburg looks like a European city. In "Lazzo" we see a snow palace (cathedral), which is very similar to the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, but in its architectural style, there is not Christian, but Catholic symbolism. In the 18th century, in Russia, at balls they communicated mainly in French. Therefore, it is possible to expect that in Snezhnaya, there will be an atmosphere of Fontaine, and to call the architecture of Snezhnaya "Moscow architecture" is not quite correct. The Moscow style of architecture is different.
