The Medes appear to be a native tribe or a confederation of tribes which are based in modern day Western Iran. The Medes are strongly connected to the tribes of Zagros and mountain ranges of West and Northern Iran as a matter of fact. They are also known as Mada, Madu, Madai, Mah. King Diakku (Deioces) the first king of the Medes was from the tribe of Mannea which was a tribe/region linked with the Urartians and Mittani. Mannea is now known as Mokrian in Kurdish. We also use the name Diakku in naming our boys. In classical Aramaic and Armenian sources the Kurds are referred to as Mah. The Assyrian oppression literally helped shape the modern Kurdish identity as the Medes unified all the smaller tribes and kingdoms under one banner to defeat the Assyrians. To simply even suggest we are not descended from the Medes is ridiculous, based on geography alone you can tell. However modern day Kurdish borders have definitely been pushed back nowadays, especially by Turkic invasion.

Tbf even as a kurd who has done a lot of research, any western iranic people can lay the same claim to the medes being one of their ancestors. A persian person can lay the same claim too the medes, and a kurdish person can also lay the same claim too ancient persians. The kurds are a heterogeneous people, which means their origins are not just median/iranic, but other ancient people make up their genetic mixture too. Of course genetics can vary from person too person, but a kurd is usually a mix of ancient mesopotamian people (especially if your kurd from iraq), ancient anatolian people, ancient iranic people (persians, medes etc) etc.

But it's not really even that important which one was the most likely source.

I agree that Christianity is more peaceful, but still they consider the old Testament, which is full of racist, hateful, genocidal commands by an insane God, as part of one of their holy book and it has been used by Christians to justify various crimes including genocide and slavery. Islam is also an Arabized and universalized version of Judaism. Mohammad obviously believed the stories of the old Testament to be true and was very much inspired by them and considered himself a Moses of sorts, with all his destructions, plunders and attacks on the non-believers. The main difference is that at least, in the old Testament, those commands to murder, plunder and the enslave non-Jews is limited to the so-called promised land, but Mohammad copied and expanded this theory to the whole world and that's basically how Islam began.

(Zaza language - Wikipedia) In conclusion: I really don’t care that much if the Kurds were the Kings and Queens of the Median Empire that is why I very seldomly write anything about it but when I see others try to so hard to claim that the Kurds weren’t even related to Medes without even looking at the their own maps or the linguistic and cultural evidence I can’t help but wonder what motives could they actually have. Well, when looking at the specific upvotes that they get, that curiosity is satisfied since it is full of people (Turkish, Arabic, Iranian nationalists) who would love to erase any Kurdish history from that region.

Excellent work CY! Some things that come to mind: on deioces: i think the inscription of sargon 2 mentions a daiukku....this individual is described as a mannean provincial governor ruling a district bordering Assyria. His son was held hostage by urartians. The name sounds a lot like deioces. And the dates of his office also match (around 710-705 bc?) What do you think? Second point: i am surprised the last assyrian kings are not mentioned in your disscussion on cyaxares. 2 brothers, sons of ahur banipal, where kings, plus their was an assyrian general who sided with nabopollassar. One of the brothers, sinsharishkun (627-612) was very likely the same notorious gay king sardanapallus mention by many classical authors later on. He was the guy who everybody ganged up on and ultimately besieged him at Nineveh. (The bullies where cyaxares and nabopolassar) What do you think?

@HistorywithCy

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Juan, thanks so much for stopping by and your comments, I really appreciate them! On Daiukku, yes, he was possibly a Mannaean vassal king or governor as you pointed out, but just based on the name alone it's difficult to confirm whether he is the same person that the story of Deioces is based on. It is possible since Herodotus claims that he ruled for 53 years and so maybe there was some overlap but again, it could have simply been coincidence that the names sound familiar. With regard to the last Assyrian kings, I guess I had already talked briefly about them in the program on Assyria (Ashur etil-ilani, the eunuch Sin-shum-lishir, Sin-sharra-ishkun who was presumably killed in the sack of Nineveh and the last, Ashur-uballit II, who fought on until shortly after the fall of Harran), so I suppose I left them out here. I generally don't focus too much on the classical authors when it comes to Assyrian history because generally what they've written was hearsay compiled long after the events they describe took place and also now, we have a lot of Assyrian and Babylonian records and texts that are much more reliable. However, with regard to the Medes, since we don't have too many texts that talk about specifics or the lives of their early kings, we kind of have to use Herodotus because he's really all we've got. Anyway, hope this answers your questions and if not, don't hesitate to ask more. Thanks again for stopping by, I'm so glad when you all take interest in this stuff... stay safe!

In the Middle Ages, some historians called the Kurds the Med, and interpreted the wars they waged with the Kurds as the invasion of the Medes.

Important thing to note is that an Assyrian king is the representative of Ashur and is considered the 'high priest' of Ashur in the nation. Interesting tale about King Sargon II, in 705 BC, Sargon II returned to the rebellious province of Tabal and did not know about the alliance it created with the Cimmerians, so Sargon II charged at the Tabal/Cimmerians and was killed during battle, the thing is though, his body was taken by the Cimmerian alliance, and Sargon II never had a proper burial, and in Ashurism (Assyrian religion), if the Assyrian king did not have a proper burial, his spirit would be cursed to haunt the lands forever.

Yup, that's correct. I think that's also why Sennacherib seems to have gone out of his way to distance himself from his father. He probably thought that Sargon II's excessive worship of Marduk meant that he was abandoning Ashur, which was perhaps why Sennacherib felt that when Babylon revolted, he was justified and would even be protected by Ashur should he need to resort to subduing the city with great violence. Assyrian history is so fascinating and really in my opinion is so much better than any work of fiction. Anyway, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it. There's are more Assyrian history videos on this channel if you're interested. Thanks again and stay safe!

‼️ In 2001, an international symposium was held in Padua to review all accessible sources in order to present an accurate as possible account of Median history. Due to the lack of sources, no consensus was reached. However, it was generally agreed that there was no proof of the existence of a Median "empire" and that it should therefore be considered a hypothesis.[

There are opinions among historians and travelers in many periods, especially in the early period, that the Medes are among the ancestors of the Kurds. The first historical document showing the bond between the Medes and the Kurds is in the Kar-nama, where the Papakan I 242 BC referred to Ardashir as the king of the Kurdish Med in his war against the Kurds.

This was awesome, can't wait to hear more. Do you think the Medes are genetically similar to the Kurds so in a way the Kurds are their descendants?

Yes Kurds are a directly descent of the Medes. Cyaxares organized and led the the Medes (one of the earliest records of organized Kurds) and led them with an iron fist throughout Iran. However, Cyaxares's son that would be later known as King Astyages gave his daughter to the Persian empire, hence the era of Medo-Persian empire. Sadly that was the end of the Kurds "say" in the game of politics, as the Persian empire would try to erase the name of the Medes. Thank goodness gracious for the Hellas for documenting the truth.

The plot thickens !! At 24:00 there is a story about killing baby Cyrus, whose name is still unknown, Compare this to the prophecy of Isaiah, calling Cyrus by name 200 years before his birth, saying that he is the one chosen by God to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. Now compare it to Herod the great hearing about a prophesied king, then going on a killing spree to prevent it from happening.

at 20:00 It was said that the Assyrian king who was fighting against the Babylonians and Medes was killed during the Battle of Nineveh and the new king, Ashur-Uballit II, was offered vassalage if he surrendered. So Assyria could've actually lived on but Ashur-Uballit II chose to fight to last man at Harran and Carchemish. I actually wrote an alt-history on if Ashur-Uballit II chose vassalage instead of fighting to the end. I wrote how Assyria would eventually reassert independence just like how they did with the Mitanni.

That's actually really cool... I never thought what would have happened if Ashur-uballit II had become a vassal of Babylonia or Media. Would he have stayed in Harran or made one of his conditions being that he needed to go back to Ashur? I'm curious as to what happened in your story (you don't have to give away the ending if you don't want, but sounds really interesting). I often thought about doing some sort of alternate history vid, something like "What if the Persians hadn't lost at Salamis" or "What if the Sasanians had one the battle of Qadisiyah" or scenarios like that. Maybe I'll do it in the future after I cover what really happened there and then what could or may have been had the outcome been different. As always, great to hear from you...stay safe!

The mythical story that Herodotus mentioned in his book is a Median story that was made for Cyrus II. The purpose of the creator of the story was to explain the reason for Cyrus's kindness and his soft nature. However, Herodotus got some part of the story wrong and thought that " Spaco" which in Median language, means "Dog" was the name of shepherd's wife but was the name of shepherd's dog. The story wants to tell that Cyrus suckled a dog nipple and drank milk out of it, when he was an infant. Dog was a cherished and well treated animal in Medes society as human's best friend. Median were Horse breeder and the dog was a useful animal for herding horses. Dogs were also useful to give a warning to them of Assyrians and Scythians attacks before they reach to their cities and villages. There is one account that says: When Hephaestion died in Ecbatana, Alexander destroyed the temple of Anahita in Ecbatana out of rage. There was a statute of a dog beside the statute of Anahita. m

Since you asked what video I’d like to see. I would like you to do a video on The origins of the Danoi, Denyen, Danuna, Dani, the tribe of Dan. Although the Greek story says they came from Danaus’s daughters from Egypt. I believe they came from the Acheans via the Achaemenid Empire into Illyrian. Then into Greece among the Achaeans and then out across the world. I’m particularly interested in the evidence of them spreading copper and bronze culture deep in to Asia, ar least as far as the Red River valley in Vietnam, where they leave their name like elsewhere as Dang. You can see Dang throughout Asia particularly around rivers and other bodies of water. Like you see Dan, Don, Den, Don, Din, Dan in in many place names in Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

The fall of Assyria was not just brought down by the Medes and Babylonians, but by many elements. Shamash-ShumuKin, AshurBanipal’s older brother, whom was so jealous, conspired against him, because he felt he should have inherited the empire and not his younger brother, whom realistically was more apt from all aspects. This weakened the empire, treachery within. The fact is that it took a coalition of Babylonians, Medes, Elamites, Scythians and Persians to bring down Assyria, and yet even that alone was not the whole story of the fall. A scientific article published a few years ago says the fall of the Assyrian Empire began 200 years prior with devastating climate change in the region, and this emboldened all of Assyria’s enemies to muster up against her. All these elements led to the ultimate fall of Assyria , but it is false to conclude “ Assyria would never be heard of again” because under the new Median, later Persian and Parthian empires, Assyrians served in their Armies and Royal services, and Assyria continued being called Asoristan and Athura. You should read the books, Ancient and modern Assyrians, and Nineveh beyond the fall of Assyria. There are sources in there that confirm all of this.
