Have you seen the Assyrian or Kurish dances? I always wanted to know why these are very similar to each other, now I think both of them have had a common root!


Kurdish Dance http://home.tiscali.dk/8x036176/kurdesta.htm


Assyrian Dance http://www.betnahrain.am/paje3.html

An interesting article about the history of Dance: http://www.splittree.org/misc_pages/dancehistory.htm

fig 2-6c

Fig. 2-6c. Paleolithic and Neolithic representations of plants.
C. Pottery from Tejpe Sialk, Iran, 7,000 years ago showing dancing figures (!), birds, and plants, perhaps wheat or barley.

What does your post have anything to do with some Kurds and Assyrians living in Iran?

Get lost, spammer...

(and no, I'm not a lover of Kurds, before you claim I'm a Pro-Kurd)

It reminds me of another similarity - people in some old villages in Pakistan has very similar celebration clothes with the ancient macedonian... well I had even pictures some time ago...

 

It's good that the forum is back again!!

To get us back on topic, I have heard that the Kurds might be direct descendants of the Medes.  The idea is that we don't hear from the Medes after 500 B.C., while the Kurds are first called that name by Xenophon, when his ten thousand Greeks marched through Kurdistan and Armenia a century later.  Perhaps Cyrus has heard something about this?

Similarites pop up everywhere....supposedly dances depicted in Koguryo wall murals are very similar to Tibetan folk dances...it just goes to show that we're all related.

The dances are too alike. I've known that for awhile but this reminds me.
These Kurds... they're like Assyrians from another dimension (or something like that).
Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; the end of the world is evidently approaching.
