Modern Iraq has no claim to ancient Mesopotamia. Being genetically related is a moot point when they do not even share the same culture, language, or religion.

Culturally they are Arab, not Mesopotamian. They have no cultural similarities to the ancient Sumerians, Assyrians, or Babylonians.

They do not speak Sumerian or Akkadian. Instead, they speak a non-Mesopotamian language called Arabic. At least the Greeks and Italians speak a language descended from Ancient Greek and Latin, meanwhile Arabic is not descended from Akkadian in any way.

They do not follow the ancient Mesopotamian religion, instead they mostly follow Islam with a Christian minority. At least modern Indians despite being retarded inbred mutts follow the same religion, meanwhile you won’t find any Iraqi worshipping Marduk or Ishtar.

The only Iraqi ethnicity with any real ties to ancient Mesopotamia are Assyrians since they at least share the same culture. Even then, they don’t even speak the same language (rather they speak Aramaic) and they don’t even follow the same religion (rather they follow Christianity).

Saddam Hussein was a LARPer for proclaiming himself the heir of Nebuchadnezzar when he didn’t even follow the same culture and religion or speak the same language.

Same with Egypt, they have no real claim to ancient Egypt as they are Arab and Muslim. The only group in Egypt with any real ties to the ancient Egyptians are the Copts and even then, they don’t follow the ancient Egyptian religion and instead follow Christianity.

So who has a claim to them?

>>18064826
The United States contain barely any Americans, yet they aren't calling themselves "Unistan".
>>
>>18065268
To Egypt? Scotland of course
>>
>>18064826
ancient Mesopotamians themselves were not related to each other
>>
>>18065585
They spoke the same language (Akkadian) and worshiped the same gods.
>>
>>18065635
The sumerians didn't speak the same language. And assyrian is a different language from akkadian although they are related.

>Being genetically related is a moot point when they do not even share the same culture, language, or religion.
Nope! If they are the descendants then they are the descendants no amount of seething is going to change it. Literally all of the groups you have listed as being continuous do not satisfy this requirement. Italians do not speak Latin (if you are going to cope about descendant languages so can they by pointing out it's the same language family), do not worship the Roman pantheon nor do they follow Roman culture. Hinduism as followed by the Indians of today is unrecognizable to the ones followed by their ancestors Modern Assyrians absolutely do not share the same culture in any sense too btw, are you fucking retarded?

>>18065698
The Assyrians spoke Akkadian.

>Modern (Israel) has no claim to ancient (Palestine). Being genetically (un)related is the (r)oot point when they do not even share the same culture, language, or religion.

By this logic, modern Egypt has no claim to the pyramids because they speak Arabic and are Muslim. Greece has no claim to the Parthenon because they are Orthodox Christian and don't worship Zeus.

Iraq is the physical successor state on that land. The soil that holds the ruins of Babylon and Ur is in Iraq. The genetic, cultural, and historical layers built on top of Mesopotamia don't invalidate that. It's a continuous chain of occupation, you dumbass. They are the inheritors by right of geography, not your autistic gatekeeping about cultural purity.

Already mentioned that here

Why do people keep spreading this BS?

Yes.
The only reason the pyramids are still standing is that moslems were too stupid to destroy them.
>>
>>18066466
The pyramids STILL had their outer covering until the fucking muslims showed up. I mean, ffs. They're just retarded retards beyond all retardation.

The Ancient camel fuckers of the region were nuts, but at least built cool structures and had an artistic sensibility, but """modern muslims""" are just fucking useless in every damn way. they are literally the only reason the world can't have nice things. even jews like a good artifact or scroll, ffs.

can anyone even name one muslim song, or food, or story, or anything interesting at all???? how can a billion people spread all over the globe make nothing of interest?

even jeets have some cool buildings and everyone has tried some India food, or seen a bollywood movie, or something. they may have even heard of the Vedas.

meanwhile, the only thing you ever see coming out of the "Muslim world" is just varying flavors of incest and Armageddon. It's worse than evil, it's fucking boring.
>>
>>18066549
Erm, Muslims have contributed way more to the world than jeets. I can’t even name a single jeet contribution.
>>
>>18066556
Naan, the Kama Sutra, sitars, soma, race-based caste systems, several cool buildings. granted, it's not a lot considering the scale and age of the place, and it all came from white people, but at least it's something.

For Muslims, all the remotely interesting stuff is Persian, and they were already cool before the 'slimes came along. The actual real Mohamadin are the cube worshipers back in Arabia, and they've never done anything even remotely interesting or artistic.
