I'm not sure how much sense it makes to talk about Kurds in the ancient era, they were basically non-existent as an actual ethnic group at the time.

Kurdish language is a northwest Iranian language. By the time of the (Aryan) Medes northwest Iranian dialect already existed. Like Kurdic also the language of the Medes was Northwestern Iranic and also an 'ergative' language, like all ancient proto-Iranic languages. According to the Kurds, we evolved directly from the Medes. When people talk about the Medes, they do actually talk about the Kurds. The Medes were the ancient Kurds

[Kyp]

ancient Iranians like the Mitanni, Kassites and Gutians rules Medopotamia/Babylon for thousands of years. I'm sure that ancient Assyrians, Mesopotamians or Armenians have a lot Iranic DNA in them. But nevertheless they are very low of Steppes or R1a.

R1a in South Central just bottlenecked and is a founder effect in that area. Obvious there was 'elite dominance' there. R1a is in that area evolved only from few males, most likely Scythians/Saka. It has nothing to do with much more ancient proto-Iranians from Kurdistan.

Afghans are mostly Pashtuns and Pashtuns are very close to Punjabis. Both groups were dominated by the Scythians and later they mixed with them. Tajiks have a lot of haplogroup R2a, J2a and even L. Tajiks are originally from Persia/Fars. Later on when they migrated into Central Asia they mixed with Central Asiac people, mostly Turco-Mongoloid people who had a lot R1a in them from the ancient Scythians


You should not confuse the history of Indian Peninsula with the Aryan history of Kurdistan.

- Tajiks are not from Persia. Iranian-like people lived in Tajikistan and Central Asia (South) since the Neolithic, they are eastern iranians, it's almost like saying Kurds are africans because they are from africa originally
- Medes and Kurds are not synonymous terms
- Gutians, elamites, kassites didn't speak an iranian language (they probably got absorbed by the iranic tribes)

[MS85]

The Medes were Aryan people and spoke a northwest Iranian language (like the Kurds). According to the Kurds, Kurds are Aryans because we are the direct descendants of the Aryan Medes. When we compare the DNA of the Aryan Medes with the Kurds we can conclude that Kurds are more than for 90% Medes.

The only people on this planet who are the closest (generically, linguistically and culturally) to the Medes are the Kurds. Why there is no component of the 'Medes' in auDNA calculators? I'm sure that the Kurds will score the highest point of all humans on those calculators that emphasis the Medians ancestry.

About the ARYAN Kassites:

" Kassite Gods

Many Kassite Gods have names in the Indo-European languages. Some names can be closely identified with the names of Gods in Sanskrit, notably Kassite Suriash (Sanskrit Surya); Maruttash (Sanskrit, the Maruts); and possibly Shimalia (the Himalaya Mountains in India). The Kassite storm god Buriash (Uburiash, or Burariash) has been identified with the Greek God Boreas, the God of the North Wind. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica there are some 30 names of Gods known, but so far, I have been able to find only about 24 of them from various sources. Most of these words occur in Mesopotamian texts of the 14th and 13th centuries BCE.

Bugash, possibly the name of a god, it is also used as a title.
Buriash, Ubriash, or Burariash, a storm god, (= Greek Boreas)
Duniash, a deity
Gidar, corresponding to Babylonian Adar
Hala, a Goddess, wife of Adar/Nusku, see Shala
Harbe, lord of the pantheon, symbolized by a bird, corresponding to Bel, Enlil or Anu
Hardash, possibly the name of a god
Hudha, corresponding to a Babylonian “Air-God”
Indash, possibly corresponding to Sanskrit Indra
Kamulla, corresponding to Babylonian Ea
Kashshu, (Kassu) a god, eponymous ancestor of the Kassite kings
Maruttash, or Muruttash, (possibly corresponding to the Vedic Maruts, a plural form)
Miriash, a Goddess (of the earth?), probably the same as the next one
Mirizir, a Goddess, corresponding to Belet, the Babylonian Goddess Beltis, i.e. Ishtar = the planet Venus; symbolized with the 8 pointed star
Nanai, or Nanna, possibly a Babylonian name, the Goddess Ishtar (Venus star) as a huntress, appearing on kudurrus as a female on a throne.
Shah, a sun god, corresponding to Babylonian Shamash, and possibly to Sanskrit Sahi.
Shala, a Goddess, symbolized by a barley stalk, also called Hala
Shihu, one of the names of Marduk
Shimalia, Goddess of the mountains, a form of the name Himalaya, Semele, see Shumalia
Shipak, a moon God
Shugab, God of the underworld, corresponding to Babylonian Nêrgal
Shugurra, corresponding to Babylonian Marduk
Shumalia, Goddess symbolized by a bird on perch, one of two deities associated with the investiture of kings
Shuqamuna, a God symbolized by a bird on a perch, one of two associated with the investiture of kings
Shuriash, corresponding to Babylonian Shamash, and possibly to Vedic Surya, also a sun god, but this might be the star Sirius, which has an arrow as a symbol
Turgu, a deity "

Kassites were similar to the Mitanni, like the Medes were similar to the Persians. Kassites/Mitanni gave birth to West Iranian races like the Medes.

" Thus for example the first Kassite king, Gandash, has a name which is rather obviously reminiscent of the Indian deity Ganesha, whilst other kings such as Abirattash, Kara-indash, and Burnaburish (or Burraburiash) are equally to be placed in the Indo-Iranian family. The name Burraburiash may even be a precise equivalent of the Persian Gobryas. "

" Kassites

Kassites or Cassites (both: kăsˈĪts) [key], ancient people, probably of Indo-European origin. They were first mentioned in historical texts as occupying the W Iranian plateau. In the 18th cent. B.C. they swept down on Babylonia, conquered the region, and ruled there until the 12th cent. B.C., when they returned to the Iranian plateau. They remained more or less independent until the beginning of the Christian era, when they disappeared from history. "

Kassites & Kossaeans

" Several modern historians such as K. Balkan (in 1986, p. 8) and M. Heinz (in 1995, p. 167) have stated that the Kassite rulers of Babylon were members of the Indo-Iranian Kossaean people based in Hamadan-Kermanshah-Luristan area, but whose origins are not mentioned in historical records. The historians make several additional conclusions or assumptions:

First, that the Kossaeans mentioned by Greek writers were the successors of the Babylonian Kassites who were driven out of Babylonia by conquering Elamites (neighbours of the Kossaeans) in the 12th century BCE.

Second, that the Kassites in fleeing to Kossaea were returning to their ancestral lands.

Third, that the Kassites were originally Indo-Iranian Kossaeans who had settled the Hamadan-Kermanshah-Luristan area prior to the 17th century BCE.

Fourth, that the Indo-Iranian Kossaeans were immigrants to the area since they are not mentioned as being among the peoples who inhabited the central and southern Zagros in Sargonic (2270-2215 BCE) and Ur III / Third Dynasty of Ur era (21st to 20th century BCE) inscriptions. As we shall see below, these assumptions and conclusions are plausible.

Hamadan and Kermanshah, are two provinces with eponymous capital cities that straddle the northern Zagros mountains placing them strategically on the Aryan trade roads - the Silk Roads. Luristan lies to their south and the Iranian province of Elam is found to the west of Luristan. Elam and Kermanshah border modern-day Iraq and what would have been Northern Babylonia (see map). "

" Mesopotamia witnessed the arrival about 1760 bce of the Kassites, who introduced the horse and the chariot and bore Indo-European names. "

'-ashman' , '-dash' , 'ship-' are clearly Iranic/Aryan components in those names.

- Tajiks are originally from Persia. They speak PERSIAN/Farsi, a southwest Iranian language. The language they speak as their native language evolved in Persia, this is a fact.
- Medes = Kurds. Kurds and Medes speak the same language, the Medes lived in the same area as the Kurds. And the Medes had the same religion as original Kurds. Mithraism = Yezidism

Kassites were 100% Iranic people who evolved from the Gutians and related to the Mitanni. Kassites believed in IRANIC Gods and the names of their leaders were very Iranic

Yezidism did not really exist, it's all basically Iranian polytheism which is obviously a very heterogeneous thing, I don't think trying to actually scientifically find cultural continuity within such a system is useful thing.

It's impossible that the Gutians or Kassites spoke Iranic or any IE languages, maybe the late Gutians were Iranians in disguise but that's another story. You are just making stuff up tbh.

Luri is not considered a dialect of Kurdi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luri_language

Yeah they shifted languages about 1000 years ago but genetically they didn’t shift they are still 100% Kurdish just like the Lur guy you posted

[MS85]

Also according to the Gamkrelidze & Ivanov who were responsible for the revolutionary Armenian Model of the first stage of PIEan, which has been proven right by the genetics, Gutians were related to the ancient Iranic people.

The heart of the Yezidism is the SUN + 7 angels. Ezdi Kurds call our GOD 'Xode Shems'. Xode = God, Shems = Sun. The name of out GOD is the 'Sun God'. Mithra was a Sun God. Aso like within Mithraism fire temples are very important for us. We are the children of SUN and FIRE.

Of course, our religion right now is thousands of years younger than Mithraism and during time our religions has been modified and updated to modern times. Like all other religions.


Gutians never left their writings. What we know is that the Gutians used Akkadian during their rule of Babylon. There are many scientists, like Gamkrelidze & Ivanov, who link Gutians to the Iranic people.

Kassites had IRANIC Gods and their Kings had Iranic names, this is a fact.

[Zoro]

Nah, they just don't have much Steppe, they're mostly native Iranian (i.e. the Iranian plateau). Look at their Y-DNA, R1a is 15-20% only in Persians and Kurds. That Lur guy is J2 for example.

Those higher frequencies in Afghanistan and N. India are founder effect, but I agree steppe is higher in Afghanistan than Kurdistan. BTW, R1a can be as high as 40% in some kurdish areas. You probably need 10000 samples from all areas of Kurdistan to get more accurate numbers


http://corduene.blogspot.com/2016/08...equencies.html


Also can’t use admixture calculators with Caucasian component to measure Steppe in west Asians because Caucasian references hide alot of steppe. For ex MDLP k11 which has EHG component (steppe marker) shows me and other kurds about 34% EHG
