The Kurdish historico cultural identity and

cultural-heritage

According to the political established scientific (false) opinion in the name of linguistic, historic and ethnology, the Kurdish nation has been declared as an Iranian (Aryan) nation and the Kurdish language as an Iranian language. An Aryan (Iranian) nation has been meant New-Persian, which would be come into existence much more recent than 651 AD. That means that the Kurdish nation and the Kurdish language would be arise in a period after overthrowing of Sassanian-Empire (224-651 AD, the name Sassan- is falsification of Satan-, the latest Kurdish realm) by the Moslems in ca. 651 AD. That Kurdish arise period would be about 9th century. (For more information see: Een Perzische Grammatica en Historie van deze taal, door J. G. Johan ter Haar, 1996, p. 1-3; prof. dr. J.G. Johan ter Haar is professor on the university of Leiden for Arabic, Persian and Turkish Languages and Cultures). Also see: G. Lazard, “The Rise of the New Persian Language”, in The Cambridge History of Iran Vol. 4 (From the Arab Invasion to the Saljuks) under redaction of R.N. Frye (London: Cambridge University Press 1975, 595-633).

 

In contrast to such declaration, according to the research of institute Elamirkan, which I lead since 1994, the Kurdish nation is the next of kin of the Elamite peoples “Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Aurámi., Haurámi (Aramaian), Hati, Huti (Hittitian), Hurrian, Pahlavi, Syriac and other civilizations in Kurdish territory”.

I have presented literary-archaeological evidences from approx. 2400 BC - ca. 651 AD, those are texts which have been known as Elamite, Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Hittitian, Persian, Syriac etc ... These texts have been excavated in current Kurdish territories and are written clearly in Old Kurdish languages which are in current Kurdish recognizable. In these texts appear the names of the Kurd and current existing Kurdish populations such as:

Kurd, Kurdish, Kurdasu (the Kurdistan), Laak, Luuŕ, Aurámi, Záíá etc. as follow: 

 

Kurdasu (the Kurdistan) or Kurdašu (the Kurdish king; ša, šah en šu = king in Kurdish), Elamite from Šuša, ca. 2400 B C?, Pierre AMIET, Glyptique susienne. Mémoires de la Délégalion archéologique en Iran, Paris, 1972, volume I-II, P.201, nu.1579. -  Pl.149. Cf. p. 191; also in Hoe Oud zijn de Kurden, H.Q. Berai 2003, p. 17.

 

Kuteir Laaksu ( judge, adjudicator of  Laaksu, governor of Laaksu), current Laaksu (Laakistan) in Iran, the territories of the Laakish people, Akkadian from Šuša ca. 2000 BC (MÉMORIES, ACTES JURIDIQUES SUSIENS, V. SHEIL 1932, p. 14, nu. 173). Also Hoe Oud zijn de Kurden? H.Q. Berai 2003, p. 24.

 

ša haammuú.rabi lú kurdaai (Hammú.ŕabí the Kurdish king, king Hammú.ŕabí of the Kurds), Sumerian - Old-Babylonian ca.1800 BC from Mári (Kurdasu in Syria), (Letters to King of Mari “Archives Royales de Mari”, Paris 1950, Jean-Marie DURAND (P. 96) 55 [A.682) 10; Marco BONECHI et Amalia CATAGNOTI (p.60). Also The Mother of Cultures, H. Q. Bérai 2005, p.48A: Hammú.ŕabi (god/lord of the world, god of every one) is also identical with Kurdish and it is comparable with the well known Qurans/Arabic synoniem term ŕab.al.álamin, name for god.

Kurduaša (Harvard Semitic Studies 42:19, 58:6, 57: 16 and 49: 33).

 

Babili Záizzaan híže Úipratuiš (Babylonian Záízán at Úí.pr.atú also), Elamite from Bísetün, ca. 540 v. Chr. (Weiβbach 1937, p. 24-25, § 19); Also the Mother of Cultures, H.Q. Bérai 2005, p. 40. Dariuš the Bersian king called the Záízáian this present Kurdish population and region at the edge of the river Úí.pr.atú , Babylonian.

 

 

Thus, the Kurdish nation and the Kurdish language cannot been of the pseudo Aryan (Iranian) or Bersian origin.

 

Consequently the civilizations of the Elamite peoples (Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Hati/Huti (Hittittians), Húrians, Aramians, Medians, ...) belong to Kurdish historico-cultural identity and cultural-heritage. Those do not belong to cultural-heritage of the occupiers of the Kurdish nation. The Kurdish historico-cultural identity or cultural-heritage change to “ancient-Iran, -Iraq, -Turkey or –Syriacannot be other than to overshadow the existence of Kurdish nation with Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran. In such a way one is for decades busy with destroying of the Kurdish structure and wiped away the existence of the Kurdish nation.

 

In 1998, I made my discovery known en also published in books: H.Q. Bérai, 2002; 2003; 2005 en 2006, by Institute Elamirkan. The research has been constant hindered by opposition of some Dutch government agencies and also by a number of Dutch professors, who are responsible to falsification of history and identity of the Kurdish nation within the structured oppression, neglecting and uprooting of the Kurdish nation.

 

The established opinion makes so on behalf of science a false scientific historical identity for the Kurdish nation. They ignore purposive the history and the truth identity of the Kurds. So they uproot the existence of the Kurdish nation. That is genocide on “scientific way” and treacherous. Such lies have been educated on schools of all levels and are passed on to the following generations.
