This article focuses on cartoons published by the magazine Molla Nasreddin between 1906 and 1931, which enjoyed a wide diffusion throughout the Muslim world. These cartoons focused on antiquity, pointing particularly to Egypt and Iran’s pre-Islamic past, as the centre of a political discourse and major elements to encourage resistance, identity, independence and legitimacy against European colonialism, revealing itself as an original and interesting approach, since antiquity was just beginning to be a political reference in those countries
