We visited Lalish in Kurdistan (Iraq) 🇮🇶

In this video, we visit Lalish where we spend some time exploring the temple of one of the oldest religions in the world - Yazidi. Prior to arriving, we made a visit over to a local restaurant to try some traditional Kurdish food that was absolutely delicious. Make sure to check out my friend ‪@YadVenturess‬ who explored this region with me.

Hello friends, my name is Sargon, I am Christian Orthodox and live in Germany. I have a lot of Yazidi friends and all of their parents, like us, also speak the old Aramaic so-called from the West/which is actually the very old Akkadian language, very, very important to know. The Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Babylonians, we were all one and the same people, like the Wesi, the Osi and the Bavarians in Germany. We were all Akkadian and divided into small splinter groups until Sargon the first united everyone and the first and largest world empire arose, which he called (ASSYRIA). It was Sargon who built Babylon and made it the capital of the NEW ASSYRIAN EMPIRE and not Nimrod. Also important. This is all a huge conspiracy and manipulation of the masses against us. We who come from the corner of Iraq, Syria, East Turkey, from almost the entire Middle East up to Iran and Afghanistan are actually of Assyrian origin and we are descended from the gods themselves. I can prove everything to you... what does Kurd even mean... do you know where the name comes from? Where does the term Kurd come from? The name Kurdistan comes from the related Persian language and means “land of the Kurds”. This referred to a region of the Persian Empire that formed its own province during the rule of the later Seljuks.! Not 1 to 2 thousand years old history. Like the Persian language. However, WE ASSYRIANS, the Sumerians and Akkadians, invented the language and writing!! Our history goes back to the day when man was created by the gods, themselves extraterrestrials, through their own divine DNA! We are the people from whom everything started. All my Yazidi friends and their parents know this too and, like me, are proud of it and we are all brothers and sisters and are 1 PEOPLE. Don't let yourself be divided and taken for fools. Goes back to the roots of our origins. Go and study the CUNEISON TABLES of our ANCESTORS. originally carved in stone. We have set the flood story on stone. And it was simply stolen by the Hebrews back then in order to falsely portray themselves as God's people in order to secure advantages in the world. We first wrote them on stone, thousands of years before the Bible. And the boards are all still there today. The oldest traditions in the world come from today's Iraq, i.e. from the heart of ASSYRIA!! Be proud of that and not of what was taught to you a thousand years ago. We were so fierce that Egypt was even our vassal state, in the prime of its time! And you want to ruin this holy place called Kurdistan? Everyone who calls this place Kurdistan denies their real, historically proven origins and has been successfully manipulated. I can prove everything to you... well I could go on listing the evidence for hours but that will have to be enough. If you want to know more you just have to look for your identity, ignorance does not mean IDENTITY!!!
