I HAVE to admit I have not read in detail the history of the Kurds or the Yazidi culture or there origin, i always wondered who came from what people and where, for instance, what happened to the Phonecion or Caananite peoples, yeah Armenian was a guess. Do you have any Amorite or Chaldean in your blood?

    The sun was sacred to the Medes and later became sacred to the Persian Bedouins who converted to Zoroastrianism. Newroz is the symbol of the transition to spring, which Kurds have celebrated for thousands of years during the Zoroastrian period. You are ignorant, at least don't show it​@@reconscout2238

    Well it's a tough question with very conflicting opinions. The Kurdish language is closer to Parthian than the median. Medes were consolidated and became part of the societies in modern region of Iran. So all of the ethnicities have a link to them, Iranians and Kurdish.

    Well, I think Cyrus had an inside men, looking at the fact he couldn't get the guards drunk as they'd see the ploy knowing it could cost them their lives. However, if a palace power player gave them alcohol naturally they'd accept and not think much of it. The said power player invited him to revolt, knowing a huge army will be dispatched, with the said army intent on switching sides once our of Medean grip.🤷

    Not entirely, Cyrus has a history of using alcohol against his enemies, noticibly against the Scythians when he lured them into his abandoned camp, waited for them all to get drunk, and then killed them all. Its very in character for him.

This is why you as an Iranian don't really care about the details because this history does not concern you.

    @@MadKingOfMadaya Untelated quick note: You haven’t been looking at the Anatolia theory have you? Regardless I must say that “Persians” originally come from the Elamites of south Iran who are from south Iran. The Medes are Aryan peoples who migrated south into the Iranian Plato. It’s also said that Achaemenid means Medo-Persian. I’d assume that after the empire, both groups would have mixed and the dominant Median majority would have absorbed the Elamites/Persians. As the word “Persian” itself, it’s a Greek work and thus the British would later also use the word “Persian”. Persian was also used by the British after that to create disunity in Iran within the smaller sub groups. That’s why now it’s officially called “Iran” being a morphed world of “Ariya” meaning “Aryans” witch is what Iranians would have been calling themselves prior. Iran itself means “Land of the Aryans”
