[@IOSPBITBRNO]

@@FirasAlkarradiwrong, alqosh was an Assyrian village since 1500 BC. It was built as an administrative town for Nineveh, the capital city of Assyria. We are suraye not kaldaye. Suraye comes from Ashuraye.

[@FirasAlkarradi]

@@IOSPBITBRNO WRONG, Alqosh and all of Nineveh plain & Duhok villages were built by Chaldean and Jewish prisoners whom king Sennacharib brought to Nineveh, 70y before the Chaldeans defeated the Assyrians and vanished them from history. Syriacs were an Arab tribe, Surayah came from Osroene, the Greek name for Edessa, and Osreone came from Persian Khisrow, he was a commander in Edessa, the Persian built it as a defense wall to stop the Greeks, the Arab tribe (later became Syriacs) settled in it in the 2nd century BC. the Syriacs spread Christianity in the region, and the word Surayah became a synonym for the word Christian. modern Assyrians are the Nestorian Chaldeans who didn't convert to Roman church, England invented the new ID for them soome 130y ago

[@IOSPBITBRNO]

@@FirasAlkarradi you could not be more wrong😂. Even the Jews know Alqosh is an Assyrian village. It is written that way in the old testament. You are just mad that your identity was given to you by a pope. I grew up Chaldean and still practice the Chaldean Catholic faith. My grandfather knows he is religiously Chaldean and ethnically Assyrian. His grandfather only knew this along with all of our ancestors.

Raman, that was the best mini documentary on Alqosh I've seen, especially when you mention it's true Assyrian identity and writing all over, when at the same time western visitors Strategically avoid our name, and gleefully call our Assyria, K-stan. Everyone, this is a Real Assyrian town, based on an Assyrian name, with Assyrian writings and architecture all over, in the heart of Assyria. Do not be fooled by any other names for it. Btw, Alqosh means God's Bow in Assyrian, based on ancient Assyrian Eilu/m ( God ) and Qishtu/Gishtu ( Bow ). Basima Raba Raman. Well done brother 👏

[@Ashur-Mesopotamia]

Nearly six million Assyrian Christians dot the world. Mesopotamia is the homeland of the Assyrians. The famous royal cities of the Assyrians, Ashur, Nimrud (Kalhu), Arbela, Dur-Sharrukin and Nineveh were built in it. The Assyrians ruled for approximately 1,300 years - from about 2000 B.C. to 612/10 BC - in northern Mesopotamia an ancient landscape between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. A clear reference to the existence of the Assyrians, on the other hand, can already be found in the Old Testament (1st Book of Moses 2:14). There it says: * “… the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates..." One day we will return to our country. Assyria belongs to the Assyrians. Isaiah 19:23-25

[@SincerelyRaman]

[@Assyrianmikey]

Let me add I'm really happy you showed Assyrians respect and let other know about us, because unless your from Turlock, Chicago, Michigan, Sweden and Australia you won't really know about Assyrians. A lot of people just refer us as Iranian or Iraqi Christians, some call us Syrians which we hate having to explain and the worst is calling us Arabs lol. Anyways much respect to you my friend and Assyrians people will always take care of you!!

[@SincerelyRaman]

Right, as you know most people have never heard of Assyrians. And then the mixup with Syrians. I too have to explain it every single time 😄

[@Treckorz]

My friend.. thanks for the great videos but Alqosh is not considered part of Kurdistan. The local Assyrians will be insulted if they knew this is what you have called their village.

[@mikeharrison9443]

Maybe go do a bit of research before you make such comments. Assyrians don't have a state anymore but are the original inhabitants of Mesopotamia (parts of today's Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran). Although they are not Kurds, they are not Iraqi either as the so called Iraq was only made after world war 1 by the British/French and given to Arabs with disregard to all the other Ethnicities that were there for thousands of years before any Arab had stepped foot into Mesopotamia. Not sure where you get off being offended at Mesopotamia/Assyria being called Kurdistan but not offended when it's called Iraq? Again, I suggest you go do research into what this so called Iraq is, when it was created and as a special point of interest when was the Iraqi Army first established and who was it's first enemy (or more precisely, it's first VICTIM).

[@Fatkidlovecake]

Assyrians accepted Christ in 33AD by Thomas 4 months after the cruxifixction. They have the original Lord’s Prayer in Jesus’s language because thats the Assyrian language its called surith or aramaic. But nobody calls it aramaic but the west. It has always been called surith translated to Assyrian. Surith means Assyrian. We where shunned by catholic church and split into factions because of a man named nestorian. We didn’t shun him we accepted him in the church still while catholics didn’t. There was small differences in his beliefs. He went directly by the book while catholic disagrees with things like when he said Mary mother of lord or mother of jesus. Not mother of god. Even though they still believe him to be the son of god

[@SincerelyRaman]

Wow, that's a lot of historic info. Thanks

[@Fatkidlovecake]

@@SincerelyRaman people think nestorian is a religion and not a man that was shunned by the church. The assyrian church was established long before his birth in 4th century ce, the church of the east was founded in the 1st century. 70 or so years after the nation’s conversion

[@Fatkidlovecake]

@@SincerelyRaman so many misconceptions about assyrians. Because of uneducated people who said these are nestorians! But they speak aramaic and call themselves suriya since the beginning of our existence. Why not simply ask them what are you? And translate that. Why not use history and haploid groups? Genetics tell us everything we need to know about us. Accepting Christ preserved our genetics because we did not intermingle with other groups since the time of our conversion till now they have barely changed. Marriage between armenians will have some caucuses dna etc but its about 80/20 or less depending on the person. But the preservation of Assyrian genetics are a crazy thing to research. It will blow your mind.

[@genesis2936]

Just a clarification, there’s no such thing as Assyrian or Chaldean language; however, there is the Aramaic “dialect” of Assyrian or a Chaldean dialect, same alphabet, vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure and the entire Aramaic text is the same whether in Galilee or Alqosh. Mar Hormiz had hundreds of caves carved by monks and spent nearly all their lives talking to God and to be spiritual. Also, Alqosh was and is NOT Assyrians excluding a few families. They’re Chaldeans meaning they’re Catholics, hardly a topic that’s even open to debate and the locals will tell you that. The pleasant man from Michigan mentioned Assyrian out of politeness. Most Assyrians are orthodox, one would assume an Assyrian churches abound, NOT one exists. The churches are “Chaldean Catholic of eastern rite”, been the case since 1510 AD when Christians went to Rome and wanted the name “Chaldean” as an identity, the Vatican didn’t care, fine then call it a Chaldean Catholic Church, problem solved, well not exactly bcz now they’re part and follow what’s told to them by the Vatican.

We are Assyrians. Northern Mesopotamia is part of the Assyrian heartland. Assyria includes Tur Abdin, Botan, Hakkari, Urmia and Nineveh. The people speak surit (Ashur-Sur-Surit) and call themselves Suraye (Ashuraye) in their language. The word Syria comes from Assyria. (Among others, signed by Prof. Dr. Stefan Wimmer) Let's move on to the Chaldeans. Babylon only later mixed with the Chaldeans to the south. The land of the Chaldeans was in the southern part of Mesopotamia. When we talk about Babylon today, we only mean the “city” of Babylon (Babel). Akkadian is divided into two language groups: Assyrian and Babylonian. Nearly six million Assyrian Christians dot the world. Mesopotamia is the homeland of the Assyrians. The famous royal cities of the Assyrians, Ashur, Nimrud (Kalhu), Arbela, Dur-Sharrukin and Nineveh were built in it.

Some 70 years later the Chaldeans defeated the Assyrians and they VAINISHED from history, until the British arrived and invented the New Assyrian ID for the Nestorian Chaldeans whom were living in Hakkari mountain (turkish Kurdistan) and Iran and the Caucasus. Nestorian Chaldeans were the Chaldeans who didn't convert to Catholicism in the 16th century and stayed Nestorians. Since the 1990s these modern Assyrians began a FAD`SCIST movement and start claiming that every Iraqi Christian is Assyrian. Google Nestorian Chaldeans, you'll find plenty of OLD books and documents identifying the modern Assyrians as CHALDEANS. Up until 130y ago, then they changed their ethnicity (British plan)
