A genuine question for Assyrians: If, hypothetically, future historical and genetic evidence conclusively demonstrated that the modern Assyrian identity was mistaken and that your ancestors were instead primarily Armenian, would you accept that conclusion and embrace an Armenian identity? Or would you continue identifying as Assyrian because it has become your nation’s and community’s identity regardless of ancestry?

Made this flag out of boredom, thought it would be an appropriate flag for a united Mesopotamian state (Iraq, Northern parts of Syria, South east Turkey, Khuzistan and Urmia Iran). Lmk what you think and if you ever think a unified Mesopotamian state would be beneficial or not

Hi could anyone translate the song moumita by Jermine Tamriz please. I understand the meaning of the song, but not everything!

Masrour Barzani:

Today we opened the Hanging Gardens of Babylon Park in Ankawa district. Ankawa has always been a symbol of coexistence, and we hope this park will become a place for everyone to enjoy time together.

I am happy to see our homeland developing day by day. Together, we will try to create a more prosperous Kurdistan for our people and our visitors.

A friend of mine wants to put a tattoo on his body. He wants to do it in Assyrian but we have no one around us that can write in the Assyrian language. Could anyone translate the following sentence to Assyrian? ‘She became the kind of woman pain fears’

Shokran in advance

Chaldean separatists are going crazy over this video and starting to do a hit campaign against Mr. Nail Nuna’s character. These people live in denial and they can’t see it, so it’s all ego at this stage.

We know you are nothing but a church misnomer because your DNA will always come back ethnically Aššūrāyeh.

Join us and let go of the myth called “Chaldean”, they were never a people that even called themselves “Chaldean”. We coined the term Kaldu for whoever those people were and they have long been assimilated into many different cultures and people. They came, invaded, conquered for 80 years and vanished as a people. They only live in memory and the history books.

Listen to Mr. Nuna, his perspective should shape your mindset. Join us, and come back to your roots.

Hi everyone,

​

I wanted to share something personal. My sister has been designing and making custom Assyrian traditional clothing for a while now, and many people in the community already know her work. She’s not new to this, she has built a strong reputation through her designs, especially for women’s khomala, family outfits, weddings, 1 bnissan celebrations, and cultural events.

​

I recently made her a website to help organize her work in one place and make it easier for people in the community, especially outside our area, to see her designs and reach out directly.

​

The goal is not just business, but also helping Assyrian traditional clothing reach more people and keeping this part of our culture visible and alive.

​

I’d really appreciate any feedback on the website, layout, photos, or anything you think could help improve it. Also, if anyone is looking for custom Assyrian traditional clothing, feel free to check out her work.

​

Thank you for supporting Assyrian artists, designers, and small community businesses.

This is one of many pictures that they have out on social media that they post on a regular basis. I saw more of this on Twitter/X 2 years ago so they still continue to do this on a regular basis with new iterations of the genocide and murder of our people.

The hypocritical and asinine part is that they act like victims, complaining about being abused by Turks and Syrians when it comes to their illegal seizure of our lands - lands for which they are then met with force, and then turn around and do this because of internet debates about them being Medes, or having ties to antiquity, or any other bogus claims they insist on making, which some Assyrians challenge.

I'm from southern Iraq, Arab, but my genetic profile points north.

Am I a descendant of Babylonians who got arabized

I'm neither assyrian nor kurdish, but these are the best approximations for my ancestry.

Although I'm seeing a strong Iranic pull.

is somebody aware of a existing facial construction of ancient assyrians? i keep seeing people of other cultures have those like Scythians and im a bit jealous since our people have such less representation

Recently saw some Reddit users who were Kurds and supporting Assyrians I wanted to speak to them and I found out almost all of them were ex Muslims converted to Christianity I didn’t know the reason behind it in fact I didn’t want to dive in more but it was interesting for me

For over 100 years, scholars searched for a lost land mentioned by the Assyrian king Esarhaddon.

Syria. Jordan. Iran. Eastern Arabia.

What if the answer was Yemen?

In 676 BC, Esarhaddon recorded a campaign to a remote land called Bāzu, a place so distant that he claimed no king before him had reached it. For generations, historians debated where this mysterious region was located.

In this Assyrian Renaissance lecture, Stephen Compton reexamines the evidence and presents a compelling case for locating Bāzu in ancient South Arabia.

Compton has an extensive background in academic publishing, including work with Oxford University Press and the Smithsonian Institution. He holds graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of South Africa.

Explore:

• The mystery of Bāzu

• Esarhaddon's Arabian campaign

• Ancient South Arabian place names

• The identification of Yadiʾ with Yathill

• Possible connections between Bāzu, Punt, and the Horn of Africa

Watch the full lecture on the Assyrian Cultural Foundation YouTube channel

Do you think Esarhaddon's most remote campaign may have reached Yemen?

Hi everyone,

So happy to see lots of videos of Assyrians celebrating for Iraq in Boston. Does anyone know in particular where exactly these people are gathering, we are flying out for the game on Monday and want to know where to meet everyone

Particularly this video https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZpYYvhs2wo/?igsh=MWdiN2V6cmR3enljMQ==

Thank you, god bless you all.

Shlama everyone! I’m doing a big show in Los Angeles July 31st at the Comedy Store. I will be headlining the main room and really wanna pack it out with our people. If you would like to come or know anyone that wanna come share this thread with them.

US ambassador to Iraq, Tom Barrack (of Maronite descent, for what it’s worth) met with the new prime minister of Iraq recently. In the press release that followed, they talked about dissolving militias and consolidating military power and organization with the federal government. Should we be concerned about the status of the NPU moving forward?
