Yeah that is what I wrote it, roots date back to old Median times which itself had adopted ancient Mesopotamian elements such as planet cult, as by Prof. Kreyenbroek but the Parthian Dynasty changed that old religion in the way of making Mithra the personification of the sun. It literally connected the sun specifically to Mithra. And according to Kreyenbroek who was in Lalish there is a place of a burned down statue which according to him is most likely Mithra since Lalish itself is build the style of old Mithraistic underground shrines.

Let's not derail the thread too much. When it's page after page without any results it is no good.
Yezidis don't use the word 'Mithra', but they use the ancient Mesopotamian/Sumerian (Akkadians took it later from the Sumerians) word for the Sun, 'Shems'. Shamas is a Mesopotamian/Sumerian word for the Sun, and the Yezidis use that word. They say Xode Shems and not Xode Mithra.
Mithra deity itself is derived from the Sumerian Shamas..
Mithra underground shrine.
https://www.ancient-origins.net/site...nt-Clement.jpg
Lalish underground shrine, according to Kreyenbroek there at the end of the tunnel there is a place typical for a Mithra statue and he assumes it was most likely destroyed by Christians
https://www.richardwilding.com/wp-co...Lalish-010.jpg
The reason is because they were chased not only by muslims but earlier also by Christians. And even more earlier by Zoroastrians who literally declared Mithra as a Daeva (evil Gods) and people who worshipped him as Daeva worshippers (evil worshippers, sounds familiar doesn't it?).
They even replaced old angel names by modern Abrahamic names. Using the word Mithra might have brought you into a lot of trouble.
There are a lot tunnels and secrets in Lalish. The Yezidism is a closed religion and it is very mysterious to non-Yezidis. Yezidis don't like to share their secrets with the outside word.
Yeah they are many similarities and it is possible that the 'new' religion of the Parthians influenced the Yezidis, like later reforms of Shekh Adi.
But the Parthians took their 'Sun'-worshiping from the much more ancient Mesopotamians/Yezidis.
So, it is possible that the ancient Yezidis first influenced the Parthians and made them believe in a Sun God, but later those Parthians influenced the Yezidis.
Also take in mind as I wrote Mithra became literally the personification of the sun so Mithra and Sun were interchangable names.
Xode Shams would literally mean "God of Sun or Sun God". Xode Mithra would make no sense. Since it would mean "Mithra God or God of Mithra". it makes no sense to name your God after you have already called him god.
Most Yezidis literally know little to nothing about their religion pre Sheikh Adi's reforms. I have seen Yezidis who literally believe Sheikh Adi started their religion. So what secrets could they tell "foreigners".
Sorry if I sound rude. But I rather believe a person who has made his Prof and Dr. titles in Iranistics while studying decades long about Iranic culture and language, Yazdanism. Than some Yazidi elders who believe Sheikh Adi brought them their religion.
It's like asking my father about human race who things before Abrahamic religion Humans didn't exist or lived in caves. Old People, especially those who have been forced to accept a "reality" that isn't true, are not very knowledged.

@Eline, leave this thread you banned sock puppet. Or we'll have to report you again. Actually you should have been banned long ago.
In this Video Kreyenbroek perfectly explains the Mythos of Mithra and the parallels to Yezidi myths. it's German though
-Some notes. Mithra is born from Stone and that Stone is from a cave = reason why Mithra and Yezidi Shrines are underground Cave like.
-In the cave he kills a bull and the sun rises
-Mithra is the lord of the Sun, Fire , Water and Energie = you find a water source, Fire in every corner and the sun symbol throughout Lalish and especially in the Shrine.
Mithra is often depicted with a Snake around him = Snake on the doors of Lalish. It represents the cosmos and Mithra as the center of it (sun).
at 41:51 you see a Mithra shrine with a Mithra statue positioned almost at the end and than you see the Lalish shrine/cave which has a place at the end and it seems like a statue was positioned there previously but ruined by Christians.
He gives much much more connections for me to list them here. If anyone knows how to speak German he should watch it.
He also points out that the West Iranics had a archaic religion based around Sun worshipping with elements from Mesopotamia. This archaic religion included allot of deities, such as Mithra as possible the highest deity, Verethragna, Ahuramazda and even more. And than Zoroastrianism evolved with Ahura Mazda literally taking the position of the highest deity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wn623TlM98
Did you read what I wrote? Mithra was also one of the highest deities of the Mitanni did you know that? Kreyenbroek points all this out. That on the Western part of the Iranian Plateau all the way into Anatolia and the Levant there was a older Indo_iranic religion that was literally replaced by Zoroastrianism in allot of places.
The last similarity I will point out here.
In Mithraism there are seven grades of Initiation
https://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Relig...sm/m_m/pt8.htm
The Parthians were ruled by their seven great houses. It was always exactly seven tribes that "created"/ruled because it has an important religious meaning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_...Houses_of_Iran
The Yarsan have the seven bodies of creation. Also the point with the pearl must sound very familiar to Yezidis
And as a Yezidi someone should know the importance of the number sevenQuote:
Belief in a divinity called Ya, the Divine Essence, creator of the world. In the beginning, the world was covered with water. At the bottom of this water was a pearl, at the heart of which was the Divine Essence in a state of “pre-eternity”. It first gave rise to its seven companions, the haftan (seven bodies).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazidism#Seven_AngelsQuote:
Seven Angels
The seven Angels are the emanations of God, which are said to have been created by God from his own light (Nûr). In this context they have, so to speak, a part of God in themselves. Another word that is used for this is Sur or Sirr (literally: mystery), which denotes a divine essence that the Angels were created from.[21] This pure divine essence called Sur or Sirr has its own personality and will and is also called Sura Xudê (the Sur of God).[22] This term refers to the essence of the Divine itself, that is, God. The Angels share this "essence" from their creator who is God. The seven Angels are sometimes referred to as the "Seven Mysteries".
Creation myth
According to the Yazidi cosmogony, God created the world from a pearl (Dur), that was previously in a stage before the creation named Enzel (the eternity before creation).[25][26]
As I wrote in my previous posts Zoroastrianism actually adopted allot and the seven divine entities was one of them.
I just now watched the video. And it is not really good. I am not aware of any Achaeamenid sample. The guy is presenting some medievil Iranian sample as Achaeamenid. And the worst part is he is trying to explain the ancestry of Achaeamenids with recent proxy such as BedouinB. It's not like Achaeamenids had real Bedouin ancestry.
Also his explanation of the results are very bad. Some sample picking Hurrian over Achaeamenid doesn't mean they are of Hurrian origin. It simply means the target population prefers a population that resembles the Hurrians more than Achaeamenids. That could be very much Medes for all we know.
In fact how could you make a Hurrian vs Achaeamenid comparison to begin with. Both from very different timeframes. Hurrians from a Bronze Age vs Achaeamenids from the Iron Age doesn't work.
Hurrian related populations played a role in the building of the Achaeamenids. As he correctly pointed out the very big genetic correlation.
The video spreds too much missinformations for my taste. It will make some people believe, that some Iranics are descend of Hurrians while other descend from Achaeamenids. While in reality all have varying amounts of Hurrian related ancestry even if they are descend from Achaemenids, because Hurrians are so old that they qualify as source population for the Achaeamenids themselves.
Totally agree. I wouldn't call him an idiot. Clearly he's not a scientist if he's relying exclusively on G25. I would just call him a misinformed amateur who doesn't understand the issues with Davidski's G25.
The Hurrian he's referring to I think is Haji-Firuz-IA ! and the the Archemenid I believe is Hasanlu-IA. Clearly the G25 is giving totally off results. Davidski's G25 is a mish mosh of modern and ancient samples. Obviously the moderns he has in the run to generate coordinates are having all sorts of effects on the test samples.
Anyways if he was a scientist he would use qpAdm and if he had he would have seen the following for Haji-Firuz-IA (courtesy EurasianDNA)

So what the G25 shows is irrelevant. Haji-Firuz-IA is actually 67.5% Iran-Chl + 32.5% Central Asian Sarmatian related with a p-value of 0.78 (excellent p-value, model passing p-values used in scientific papers is 0.05)
Indeed if we use the Chalcolithic as a point of reference. Don't pay too much attention to informal methods such as G25 or Gedmatch calculators. They were not designed to measure how steppe Iranians are shifted compared to the Iran-Chl. Also Iranians are more E. Asian shifted compared to the Chalcolithic than what most people are led to believe. There has been lots of influx at various timescales since the Chalcolithic into the Iranian plateau from the north.
This said Afghans and to a smaller extent some N. Pakistanis and Indians are obviously more steppe and E. Eurasian shifted than the average Iranian.
From which study is this sample and the PCA? If it is a real Achaemenid sample that's fantasting.
But my point still stands. Some Iranic individuals picking Hurrian over Achaemenid simply means. these individuals might be a little more Hurrian shifted (as I would expect from Medes for example) and since you don't have a Median source population it picks up Hurrian as the next best. As we know Achaeamenids themselves were actually a Medo_Persian Dynasty some other samples might turn out different.
I will try to explain this visually
Look at this painting. Hope it explains what I mean.
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/...1587350492.png
I got it from anthrgenica https://journals.plos.org/plosgeneti...n.1008385.g007
But yea, i agree with your point. Haji firuz is a better fit tbh
Thank you it seems like we finally have a real Achaemenid sample. The sample is perfect. But as you might understand it's only one sample. With more samples a little variation will come in. If we get our hands on samples from Medes and the Old Persians from the Achaemenid Dynasty, we will see what I mean. We can't base our decisions solely on one sample. As you might have noticed even the ancient Bronze Age Hurrians overlap with the Achaemenid sample as much as around 90%. And Hurrian is a bad example for comparison since it predates Achaemenids and is rather a source than competing population.
We need more Achaemenid and Median samples.
It is not an Achaemenid sample, but a sample from outside West Asian from the Achamenid era. It has nothing to do with the Iranians. It has only something to do with the AGE of the sample.
It is from this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6759149/
According to this study, ancient proto-Aryan (West Iranian), so called ancient Central Iranian Cluster (CIC) that connects all Iranic people together is just native to Kurdistan.
Quote:
The majority of Iran’s ethnic groups comprise largely overlapping genetic autosomal diversity, implicating a shared and largely autochthonous ancestry, designated as the Central Iranian Cluster (CIC). Notably, the CIC also includes Iranian Arabs and Azeris (Fig 1) as well as the religious group of Zoroastrians (Fig 3), being consistent with the suggestion that Zoroastrians have lived in the area of present-day Iran for millennia and had formed an early group of Indo-European speakers.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6759149/
Kurds are much more homogenous (pure) than Persians. Kurds are clustered closely with other Western Iranians such as Gilaks, Mazanderanis and Lurs, while only one part of the Persians overlaps with the Kurds, while other part of the Persians is more shifted toward the Turkmen. Persians are much more diverse and a little bit more shifted toward the Turkmen (Turkic speaking people).
Wait a minute now is it a real Achaemenid sample or not? From where and which timeframe is this Hasanlu Iron Age sample exactly. Haji Firuz might be genetically very close to Medes.
I don't call him an idiot he is just not well informed and doesn't know the flaws and how these calculators work. If I had no other proxy samples than a Chimp and East Asian. The calculator would obviously pick up East Asian for me, because it's the next closest thing that is there.
I think people here are confused and speak about the different samples and topics.
There is no Achaemenid sample at the PCA you have seen. That PCA is from a recent study about the Iranian people: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6759149/
Seems so but the thing people need to understand and always remember. Inside this ~30% Steppe hides around 15-20% Iranian_Plateau Neolithic, Neolithic Caucasus related DNA. It was a bi directional geneflow. Those dudes who came from the Steppe (especially the later Iranic branches) were at least 50% of Iranian Plateau-Caucasus ancestry if not even more. That is why we barely show outside admixture, because allot of it is literally back migration.
Haji-Firuz-IA is from Haji Firuz Iran and is 2900 years old. Y:R1b1a1a2a2 Mt: K1a17a
These guys were either already Medes or Hurrians-Manneaens/Gutians/Kassites who were about to become the Medes. Either way they possible represent well what the early Median speakers genetically looked like.
Still would be good to have samples from the actual period of the Median Empire and the Achaemenid Dynasty.
Yezidi Kurds from Iraq have much more R1b than R1a. Non-Yezidi Kurds have more R1a
Yezidi Kurds have also a lot Maykop/Kura-Araxes Y-DNA hg. 'L'.
I think that R1b is connected to the ancient proto-West Iranian Gutians who were ancestral to the Mitanni, Medes.
https://i.postimg.cc/vmVyLPXg/Ezdi-Kurds.png
The Medes were literally a confederation of Iranic and non Iranic tribes who spoke the Median language. Cyrus literally called all of West Media Gutium (land of the Gutis).
The Persian were literally a synthesis of Iranic and non Iranic tribes such as the Elamites and Kassites which formed the Persians.
The very Medes and Persian existence is down to these synthesis of Iranic and non Iranic speakers. We should never forget that.
Before these Iranic tribes mixed with the other locals they literally called themselves just "Aryans".
Very good point and that's one thing that confounds ADMIXTURE or G25 results because they don't use outgroups to zero out common shared ancestry. A big example is Europeans are shown closer to Sarmatians or Scythians in ADMIXTURE or G25 not because they had alot of admixture from those groups but because steppe groups and Europeans share alot of ancient EHG admixture whereas the basal Eurasian in W. Asians puts them further away from Steppe.
qpAdm on the other hand DOES use OUTGROUPS and much less vulnerable to this issue. Here's Harji-Firuz-IA using the following ancient OUTGROUPs to zero out ancient shared alleles between Haji-Firuz-IA and C. Asian Sarmatian

So even using all those OUTGROUPS to zero out ancient shared alleles between Haji-Firuz and C. Asian Sarmatian we still get
70.4% +/-7% + 29.6% +/-7% C. Asian Sarmatian related with a p-value of 0.40 (passing is 0.05)
