Iranian Culture

@Cyrus Shahmiri  aren´t qajars of turkmen origin? And didn´t they ruled just in horasan or northwestiran? so how could this woman be Persian?

Originally posted by Ince Why do Assyrians wear similar clothes to Kurds? It looks nearly identical to Kurds.

Regarding the Scythian Kurdish connection.  I found these pictures of what is meant to be Cimmerian stelae from the 6th century BC in Hakkari,Turkey Kurdish region.

Did the Scythians make to Anatolia before the Medes?

Does anyone know wether they are Scythian design?

Xorto, that is an interesting imaginary post, for me the first two ones look very Azeri, the third one looks like s Slav and the forth one could be an Italian, but the next one certainly looks like a Kurd from Kermanshah, the one from Urmia is similar to a Gilaki, those Parthian ones look like people from Ardabil of Iran, ...

Originally posted by Ince I don't know if we can base origin on Looks.  As I have seen many different looking Kurds from my own City.  My mother side looks what I would say Afghani/Iranic as they have light brown eyes and thin noses.  Where as my fathers side, one side looks mongoloid as my Grandmother was Turkic and the other side of my father looks georgian. We don't know what the Hurrians and Medes even looked like. What group would you class Yilmaz Guney,Kirmizigul and Ahmet kaya in?

Mahsum Kirmizigül has a Medic look. Ahmet Kaya has an Hethitan look more from Central Anatolia Hurrians-Mannaens-Urartians-Georgians = Caucasian of course you can also find some mongol looking kurds i don´t deny this. I also know a kurd from Mardin who looks 100% mongol but thats not the common look among kurds I have never seen a bigger group of kurds which look turkic. By the way even the Turkmens from Anatolia are less mongol mixed than Afghans and Turkmens from Central-Asia you can´t comper them to each.

We cannot just label them based on looks you can find many Kurds who look like Kirmizigul and Guney in Malatya. 

Their also many Kurds who look Indic, like i mentioned before my mother side looks what I would say Afghani. 

My grandmother had really strong Mongoloid features that is present in my aunts and uncles and my father and even among the children.  My brother looks very mongoloid with eyes and lips.  Where I look more like Kirmizigul and Yilmaz Guney.   Even tho my Grandmother was Turkic.  My father saw himself as a Kurd and even my grandmother knew and spoke Kurmanji.

I ask new people I meet at times what they think I look like and answer is mainly Italian and Iranian, where as Indians and Pakistans always say I look like them but whiter.  I have lite dark circle around my eyes and shiny eye leeds similar to Kenan Coban.

Originally posted by Xorto typical Iranian Look. I said their are some few kurds who look like mongols. Afghan look is not the same as Indic look you mix things up like you want i think i even know you i saw one time a kurd on youtube who tried to explain me that we Kurds have more Indic influnece like he has some indian complexes lol. Any i talk about the majority and if you try to tell me that there is a bigger kurdish community in middle east which looks indic than please show me a youtube video or something like that were i can see a group of kurds who look like this. Also it would be nice if you could show me your and your mothers grandmothers picture so i can understan what you mean with turkic. If you look like Coban you don´t look untypical for kurds. Coban even has a mediterranian distinct look rather than indian.

Thats the thing only a few random Kurds look Indic, I would not say their was a village full or city that look indic.  I have met relatives on my mother side who I would say looks indic, this is because their is a large Indian and Pakistani community here in London so I see many Indians day to day.  Yes I did compare Afghani look to Indic as Nort Indians do like like Afghanis.

Their is this Kurdish singer that comes on TV that is blind and I don't know her name and she looks very similar to my Indian neighbour.

I do not have any photos of family members on my laptop to show any.  When I say Turkic I mean the mongoloid central asian looking ones.

Heres a random picture I found of  Turkmen on the net and this what I would say my grandmother looked like very similar to this lady oddly even similar clothes.
