 | The Origin Of The Kurdish Language (Mede,Median) The Origin Of The Kurdish Language (Mede,Median) Kermanshah or Gorani Kurdish,Kermashan Kirmaşan, is the capital city of Kermanshah Province, located in Eastern Kurdistan. Kermanshah has a continental climate. The estimated population of the city is 822,921(year 2005) [1] and the majority of the inhabitants speak Kalhori dialects of Kurdish. The religion of the people is very diverse and there are many Muslims, Assyrians, Bahá'ís, Jews, and Armenians living in Kermanshah but Kurds have been leading the city in the number since history can remember. Given its antiquity, attractive landscapes and rich culture, Kermanshah is considered as one of the cradles of prehistoric cultures such as Neolithic villages. According to archaeological surveys and excavation, Kermanshah area has been occupied by prehistoric people since the Lower Paleolithic period, and continued to later Paleolithic periods till late Pleistocene period. The Lower Paleolithic evidence consists of some handaxes found in the Gakia area to the east of the city. The Middle Paleolithic remains have been found in the northern vicinity of the city in Tang-e Kenesht and near Taq-e Bostan. The known Paleolithic caves in this area are Warwasi, Kobeh, and Do-Eshkaft. The region was also one of the first places in which human settlements including Asiab, Qazanchi, Tappeh Sarab, Chia Jani, and Ganj-Darreh were established between 8000-10.000 years ago. This is about the same time that the first potteries pertaining were made in Ganj-Darreh, near present-day Harsin. Construction of the city is attributed to Tahmoures Divband, the fabulous king of Pishdadian dynasty. It was a glorious city in Kurds about the 4th century AD when it became a political city and a significant health center serving Kurdish kings. In A.D. 226, following a two-year war led by the Sassanid Emperor - Ardashir I - against Kurdish Kings in the region, the Empire reinstated a local Kurdish prince, Kayus of Medya, to rule Kermanshah. Within the dynasty known as the House of Kayus (also Kâvusakân) remained a semi-independent Kurdish kingdom lasting until A.D. 380 before Ardashir II removed the dynasty's last ruling member.Kermanshah was conquered by the Arabs in A.D. 640 and called the town Qirmasin (Qirmashin). Under Seljuk rule in the 11th century, it was, and still is, a major cultural and commercial centre in Western Iran and the southern Kurdish region as a whole. The Safavids fortified the town, and the Qajars repulsed an attack by the Turks during Fath Ali Shah's rule (1797--1834). She was occupied by Ottomans between 1723-1729 and 1731-1732.Occupied by the Turkish army in 1915 during World War I, it was evacuated in 1917. Kermanshah played an important role in the Mashrota Movement in Qajar period and the Republic Movement in Pahlavi period. The City was hit hard during the Iran-Iraq War, and although it was rebuilt, it has not fully recovered, yet.Behistun inscription is considered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Behistun Inscription (also Bisitun or Bisutun, Bagastana, meaning "the god's place or land") is a multi-lingual inscription located on Mount Behistun The inscription includes three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform script languages: Old Median, Elamite, and Babylonian. A British army officer, Henry Rawlinson, had the inscription transcribed in two parts, in 1835 and 1843. Rawlinson was able to translate the Old Median cuneiform text in 1838, and the Elamite and Babylonian texts were translated by Rawlinson and others after 1843. Babylonian was a later form of Akkadian: both are Semitic languages. In effect, then, the inscription is to cuneiform what the Rosetta Stone is to Egyptian hieroglyphs: the document most crucial in the decipherment of a previously lost script.The inscription is approximately 15 metres high by 25 metres wide, and 100 metres up a limestone cliff from an ancient road connecting the capitals of Babylonia and Media (Babylon and Ecbatana). It is extremely inaccessible as the mountainside was removed to make the inscription more visible after its completion. The what is so called Old Medo-Persian text contains 414 lines in five columns; the Elamite text includes 593 lines in eight columns and the Babylonian text is in 112 lines. |

 | Largest & oldest Zoroasterian Fire Temple of Kurdistan Many thousand years ago, beside the lake Uram (which now by mistake is referred to as Aroumeih. This lake belonged to people who were Medes who were called Uramha. Today the remainder from those tribes, there is a group within Kurdistan known as Uraman whose main profession is grazing sheep and cattle and this group of Kurdish people had lived around the Uramin Lake they adopted many of their traditions and worshiped many of their gods. These people worshiped such things as the moon, the sun the stars, the wind, the snow and the rain. among the Uramani people, around one of the shores of this great lake, As written in Zoroasterian narratives, this man's family name was Spitman which means the white race in Kurdish.This family who were raised in the cold climates of the mountains of east of Medes had white skin, and thus differentiated themselves from those who were dark skinned, thus they were recognized by the name "White" and so were called " spitman". The name of this child has come in the religious, Sarathushtrai In Kurdish dialects of Hourami ( Ahorami ) this person's name means " Thou who resemble the golden rays of sun shine and Pour" . It seems that this is a title they have given this man later on. In the Kurdish dialects, Hourami ( Ahorami) has been translated as such : Zara ( as the golden ray ) Ta ( the Sun ) Vashtra ( Pure), which and this Vashtra has misled Zoroasterian believers and thus called him the owner of golden camel. This person, whose real name has not been written anywhere, has been introduced in the colloquial dialects as Zardasht Zartosht. It has been historically certified and so far it is his name he is called by this name. Zardasht in his fourteith year of life went through a special phase where he talked to himself in solitude until he was inspired by oracular world. " Thou Zardasht, I chose you to be my messenger and invite your people to worship Ahora Mazda, the invisible God, so that you will be free from worshiping false gods and you must worship the treat" Ahouramazda".The Khoyaneh tribe, the people who lived in the area called khoy in Eastern Kurdistan , opposed the prophet and thus the prophet immigrated to Ushidareno, which I believe is in Sanandaj ( Sna ) in eastern Kurdistan, and after thousands of years has been transformed to Vidar. In those days, people lived seldom in cities due to their cattle and herds needing meadows to graze and water. The mountain Vidar ( in Sanandaj in Kurdistan ) benefited from all these and even now is one of the richest grazing areas. The king of that region who had built a palace on top of the mountain to secure himself against his enemies was called: Kangashah" and in the Sahneh ( in Eastern Kurdistan ). Zardasht built his fire temple in the region of Bakteriya in the the area of Dinewar ( meaning bringing of religion) in Kermashan (Kermanshah) in Kurdistan. Bakteriya then changed into Bakhtar and later they misunderstood and thought that Zardasht lived in the east of Iran near Bokhara, and Balkh (due to resemblance of the worlds). This Province is still called Baktar and two neighboring villages are called Baktars. From the shores of Urami lake, Zardasht was chosen to be prophet of Ahouramazda, but was opposed by people from Khoy and thus emigrated to the mountain Aushi Dar or Aushidarynah in Sanandaj ( east Kurdistan ) and from there he immigrated to the mountain of Huger in the region of Saaeen Dej which later was known as Dinawer. When Key-Goshtasb ( the king) became on of Zardasht's followers , he built his temple of fire in Bakteria and his followers lived in the area called Parsina. After a while the other god worshiping and liars and star worshiping grew among people until such time in a blood battle key-Goshtasp and his children and Zardasht and his followers were killed in the battle and a temple.
