From Medes, hurians, gutians, lulubi, Ezidis to Sumerians? 😂😂 what’s next?
The letters are Sumerian, created by my ancestors the Kurds in 4000 BCE. The first Sumerian city was Hewler Citadel (the first in the world), made by me (Kurds). You are a baby boy with a total history of only 1400 years. My history is 15,000 years old; since the Agricultural Revolution, we were here!

From Mesopotamia to India, Central Asia, Mongolia, and China, the Assyrian Church of the East established one of the largest Christian networks in history. Centuries before European missionaries reached Asia, Assyrian Christians had already carried the Gospel across continents

The Assur ostracon, one of the earliest known examples of Aramaic cursive from ancient Assyria, preserves a letter from the Assyrian official Beletir to Piri Amurri during the reign of emperor Ashurbanipal. Nearly 2,700 years later, modern Assyrians still speak this language.

archive.org/details/Sharafna… Here you go all you had to do was a little research but you chose to act like a Gybsie
No, it didn’t. Grok wasn’t able to provide the exact pages from the primary source. Seems to be another Nestorian fabrication…

From an older July 1915 document showing The Hussein-McMahon Correspondence which is responsible for establishing many Arab states and modern day Israel. Britain stated it would recognize and support Arab independence in the Middle East following the defeat of the Ottomans.
From the CIA report 1960: "Iraqi Christians are indigenous people, except for the majority of Assyrians and some Armenians."

Every Christian should see this monastery one day. Overlooking the Nineveh Plains, it is from 640 AD. The same Old Testament land Jonah walked when he preached to the Assyrians. The same people who still speak Aramaic till this day & custody these ancient holy sites.

You basically designed the question to get a “no” AI answer 😂 You excluded most of the historical evidence beforehand, then acted like the result proved your point. What a mart curd 😭
Replying to @Ray__Is
From the 1000-1800 no one called themselves Assyrian let that sink in for a second

People often cite Revival and Awakening by Adam H Becker to claim that Assyrian identity is a 19th-century “invention.” That claim does not hold up when examined against linguistic, historical, and textual evidence. Here is a concise breakdown

I think we can learn a lot from Yohanna Bar Dadi's words, the Assyrian leader who killed an entire Muslim army in 750 A.D. "Today you know that no king will avenge our blood from these people. If we ignore them, they will rally against us to uproot us with everything we have"

The Assyrian Empire shaped the ancient world but the Assyrian story didn’t end with the empire. 🦅 For thousands of years, Assyrians have preserved their culture, language, traditions, and identity across generations. An ancient people with a living legacy. ❤️💙🤍 #Assyrian

Assyrians documented both the earliest datable written and illustrated records of auroras, first in reports sent to Emperors Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal (679–655 BC), and later in the Chronicle of Zuqnin (771 AD).

The last known mention of Gilgamesh before his 19th century rediscovery comes from Theodore Bar Koni, an 8th century Assyrian Christian scholar. Though corrupted, his name appears twice as the 10th and 12th king in a list of twelve rulers who reigned between Peleg and Abraham.

For many centuries the Latin world would call the Aramaic language "Chaldean language", however since its refutation by E. Kautzsch & other scholars, the Vatican has shifted away from using misnomer "Chaldaic" for the East-Syriac language. 3rd image - R. Gottheil, & W. Bacher.

I am sounding the alarm. The fragility of the Middle East right now cannot be underestimated. We need @JDVance & co to understand how Christians are hanging on a thread. How the next realignment will decide if Apostolic Christianity survives or dies. Gone forever.
Something big is coming in Iraq. The Iran War is accelerating a new Sunni-Shia conflict. The KRG is internally divided & pressured by Iran & Turkey. Unless the West supports Assyrian Christian autonomy in Nineveh, the next geopolitical shift will wipe out Iraq’s last Christians.
