Assyrian Lion Hunt at the British Museum

[7ZBALPALTALK]

4 dislikes are kurds and turks hhh

[ijohnmack]

@7ZBALPALTALK That's so typical Kurds and Turks... They lack reasoning and understanding. :)

[goran21715]

@ijohnmack . the Kurds, they did not expand very far from the mountains. As they settled, the Hurrians divided into a number of clans and subgroups, founding city-states, kingdoms and empires with eponymous clan names. These included the Gutis, Kurti, Khaldi, Nairi, Mushku, Mannaeans (Mannai), Mitanni, Urartu, Lullubi and the Kassites among others. All these tribes were part of the larger group of Hurrians (Khurrites), and together helped to shape the Hurrian phase of Kurdish history.

[goran21715]

@7ZBALPALTALK yes turk are mongols invasion anatolia (The Turkic migration as defined in this article was the expansion of the Turkic peoples across most of Central Asia into Europe and the Middle East between the 6th and 11th centuries AD. Tribes less certainly identified as Turkic began their expansion centuries earlier as the predominant element of the Huns. Their prehistoric point of origin was the hypothetical Proto-Turkic region of the Far East including North China and Inner Mongolia)

[goran21715]

. The name Guti, at any rate, survives today clearly in the name of the Kurdish clan of Judikan, inhabiting the heartland of the ancient Gutis in southeatern Kurdistan. The "Kardukhoi" who come to subsequently be known as the Gordyene to the classical authors, are none other than the predecessors of modern Girdi clan of Kurds who still reside exactly where the ancient Kardukhoi/Godyene were found. The name "Kurti/Kurd" seem likely to be of Aryan origin *

Zubari Kurds as Descendants of Subareans

The descendants of the historic Subareans are stated by Prof. Izady to be found amongst the Zubari Kurds, who still inhabit the same geographical region as the ancient Subareans:"The kingdom of Mushku is now believed to have brought about the final downfall of the Hittites in Anatolia. Their name survives in the city of Mush/Mus in north-central Kurdistan . The Subaru who operated from the areas north of modern Arbil

@goran21715 stop trying to tie yourselves with the land you have no business claiming as your own. The kurds have no history in Iraq, Turkey Syria.. Kurds are Iranian Gypsies as proven by DNA analysis

[goran21715]

@ashyoukhana ASSyrian negro you ignore history, proven ASSyrian are ASSgypsy (Although Kurds have inhabited their highlands for several millennia BC, their prehistory is not very well known.[1] The earliest known evidence of a unified and distinct culture in the Kurdish mountains dates back to the Halaf culture of 8,000-7,400 years ago. This was followed by the Hurrian period (in Mesopotamia and Zagros-Taurus mountains) which lasted from 6,300 to about 2,600 years ago)

[goran21715]

@ashyoukhana The origin of the Sumerians is unknown.The intriguing question keeps returning into the literature but has so far unsatisfactory answers.The Sumerians were not the first people in Mesopotamia.They were not present before 4000BC,while before that time village communities existed with a high degree of organization.The principle of agriculture''was not discovered by the Sumerians.This is evident from words the Sumerians use for items in relation to the domestication of plants&animals.

[goran21715]

@ashyoukhana Tell Halaf is the type site of the Halaf culture, which developed from Neolithic III at this site without any strong break. The Tell Halaf site flourished from about 6100 to 5400 BCE, a period of time that is referred to as the Halaf period. The Halaf culture was succeeded in northern Mesopotamia by the Ubaid culture. The site was then abandoned for a long period.

[goran21715]

Gutians and the Khatti

The learned Prof. Waddell has uncovered links between the Gutians and the Khatti :

"We now see how throughout the Kha series of words in Sumerian, as in the later Akkad and Aryan languages, the initial K tends to drop out, leaving the H as the initial of the word. Thus the old tribal name of the Goths spelt by the Sumerians and "Hitt-ites" as Khat-ti or Khad-ti, the "Catti' of the pre-Roman Briton coins 3 (and also speltKud-ti and Guti ),

[goran21715]

The Gutians overthrew the Akkadian dynasty,liberating the Sumerians from the Semitic yoke.The attempt by the fanatical Akkadian rulers to suppress the Sumerian language were rolled back & a Sumerian renaissance occurred under benevolent Gutian rule. Describing the Sumerian revival under the Gutians, Badawy notes,The Akkadian dynasty (2350-2150 BC) marked a decisive phase in the Semitization of Mesopotamia, a process which went on in spite of the renascence of Sumerian under the Gutians (2000 BC)

[SithSereyPheap1]

Just as we feed on the flesh of the beast,let the beast feed on our flesh O Lord !! It's justice...

[Toniito]

@psmx7 Dude u must be the most jealous guy on youtube cause nothing u say has truth in it and dont tell me it has cause obviously it hasnt. And it seems to me that you are just a hater. U have made hundreds of bad comments on ASSYRIAN videos. Stop the jealousy and hate ure pathetic !

[remital2]

the people illustrated in the carvings are about proportional to the lions themselves! fascinating! makes me think about all this inner earth hallebalu

[boloskefy]

GO READ THE ASSYRIAN HISTORY YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKEN ARABS AND PERSIANS BEFORE YOU START RUNING YOUR FUCKEN MOUTHS ABOUT SHIT U DON'T EVEN FUCKEN KNOW ABOUT..WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT US?? YOU DONT KNOW SHIT!!! ASSYRIANS WERE THE FIRST AND ALWAYZ WILL BE NO MATTER WHAT U SAY OR THINK.

[JokersKush]

THE ASSYRIANS HAD TO HAVE SOME KIND OF LAZER DEVICE TO HAVE THESE GRAVEN IMAGES SO DETAILED.

[BigHater007]

Whatever man, Assyrians, Persians, Medes, greeks....they were all talented and advanced for their time. Its childish to downplay the achievements of others just to hide your insecurities.

[Elpapi454]

@BigHater007 Yes they were all good, but they were compaired, or would you say that the US has the same army and tactis as Germany? that's the difference.

[BigHater007]

@Elpapi454 what? lol. How is that related? You know how silly it sounds to say Assyrians created and invented everything?

[sargon08]

So you say that MIG29 is bad plain well even with the bad air plain one Iraqi shotdown an American in 1990 golf war 1

coalition suffered 75 aircraft losses , 44 of which were the result of Iraqi action.

Two of these losses are the result of aircraft colliding with the ground while evading Iraqi ground fired weapons. One of these losses is a confirmed air-air victory. from wikipedia .

[changrider]

@sargon08 Yes the MIGS are junk. So who cares if they shot a few down or they fell or whatever, Iraq still got their ass kicked... there!

[Elpapi454]

@changrider And you're proud because you stole more oil and killed more Iraqies?

[A55YRlAN]

This might be the beginning of the return of the Assyrians as prophesied in the Bible..

[cvnss89]

Lucky they are in Britain, these are priceless and would not survive in the Middle East. Proud to be Assyrian!

[Re9syr]

So beautiful, i love the assyrians very much, the strongest ever !!

[realistromeo]

EPIC BEARDS 0:34

[changrider]

Pretty cool, no question this guys hunted lions skilledfully, but, on another note, I garanty you the king and his troops where not as calm and composed during the hunt as the pictures depict, also no depictions of when the hunt whent wrong and people got killed, witch probably happens every once in a while, when they encounter a lion or pride that did not behave the expected way and the King and his court had to run, they would never depict that as it would show weakness and failure.

[sargon08]

@changrider : what did you say " King and his court had to run " ?? you need to know more about the middle eastern men , its easyer for a king to die then to Run even today in iraq with tanks jet fighter and out numberd 1 to 10 they dont run !! call them stupid but remember the spartans didnt run also !!

[changrider]

@sargon08 U just agreed with me, they 'don't run and they die' Oh! I remenber the iraquis in their knees/surrendering/begging and kissing our US soldiers hands for water and food, or Iranians running with the Bible in hand while Iraquis mowed them down with machine guns during the Iraq/Iran war. Midle easter men are so 'BRAVE' don't make me laugh... they are mostly known for beating women under submission and killing inocent and defenceless people, can u say 'suicide bomber'! LOL

[sargon08]

@changrider: your problem is you watch so much CNN FOX MSNBC news !!

and after 5 or 10 years they say the truth on History channal but for 1 hour !! the Iraqi's who was kissing hand are the same one's who helped the U.S in Golf war ii

the Iranians are the enmy of iraq for over 3000 years they are not samtic they are Aryns and that why they call there land iran { the land of Aryans } .

[changrider]

@sargon08 I watch Fox but not oftem, never put Fox and Msnbc togheter, they are like wine and water, they disagree on everything, one is conservative the other a douche bag liberal...I bet I've been reading history for longer than u.

[sargon08]

@changrider hay i dont like msnbc too !! but even fox lie all the time i just see Glenn Back on foxnews !! he talk about the history of America !! but i even like Alex jones more !! he has very good movie called the " The Obama Deception" .

[changrider]

@sargon08 Thank God ur not a Lib. I don't have a beef with u, as a matter of fact I admire Assyrians, I even have a Mastff because it was one of their dogs of war. I'm just making a point that they would never depic anything detrimental to their status including they getting killed or run off by wild animals or other warring tribes. The Romans did the same...

[sargon08]

@changrider look for this video its about how Good was the Iraqi pailot's were !!

Dogfights - Dogfights of Desert Storm (2 of 5) !! they were Chrstian pilot's !! they always show them as stupid how can you fly MIG29/25 if your stupid ??

[changrider]

@sargon08 For ur imfo, the MIG29/25 are very easy to fly because the electronics on them are very antiquated, a CHIMP could fly one of those, as far as quality its are all hype, they where shot down constantly ,and as far as I know most of them have already being scraped, Russia sells those obsolet old planes to broken ass countries like Iraq/Iran and etc. LOL

[sargon08]

@changrider only the bravest of the brave can be the King Bodyguards and to be there King you Shuold be more Brave or you will be there joke !!

[changrider]

@sargon08 Whatever, being brave wont help u win a fight with a lion, u will swallow ur pride and scream like a 'BITCH' when that lion start to peel ur skin out with his claws while ur still alive. Like I sayd, they were very skilled and did hunt lions for sure but every once and than they would end up with the short hand of the stick. A fact of life: 'Nobody always wins'!

[sargon08]

@changrider its true Nobody always wins and sure you will have they will be attacked by the lion but they die brave and the king never run !! they say when Assyria was fulling the King burned himself !!

[KhmerSerey1]

Only royalty are allowed to kill lions in Assyria under Assurbanipal rule..

[JawJee23Q]

Britain STOLE MY ANCIENT ARTIFACTS of my people to display behind a glass cage for all of eternity never accepting us or acknowledge our people still exist and being persecuted by Muslims YET THEY SAY WE R THE GREATEST NATION GTF OUT ur liars stealing stuff and making money ALL IT IS. Give it back to the Assyrian people if ur so great and big ENGLAND

[wokenup100]

@JawJee23Q I'm from the UK and I have to agree with you. I feel blessed that I have seen these in real life for myself at the British Museum, but they do not belong here, they belong with you.

[fasensuger]

@JawJee23Q

Is'nt it better if they stay there, in the British Museum, so that the whole WORLD can see what OUR ancestors did? If they had stayed at iraq, syria or turkey, people probably never had knew anything about us, and you wouldnt know your own history. Khaya Atour.

[Toscavsky]

Whow!! I love this stuff!! I'd like to Britain so as to gaze it!! I'm in love with Assyrian culture...Thanks for postin'!

[A55YRlAN]

I love Britain for this. These priceless artifacts are so much safer in Britain than Iraq... and we can all go enjoy them as well... Thank you.

[2pac1976]

@ChaldeanSouljaz Yes bro their beautiful.

[sfcsinc]

Interesting video, good work!

[hphkmmd]

I didn't mean that the asyrian stole it but the british people!!!!

[Nimroud]

Such Masters of not only war, but Art, Innovation, Story telling, Science, Astrology, man you name it, our ancestors Mastered it, & before any smart-ass starts talkin about how "If the Assyrians were Masters, why did Assyria fall?", here's a pre-answer to that:

It took 4 Nations & their Armies to Destroy Assyria. Those Nations were The Babylonians (Same Ashurian Race!), The Medians (Iranian type people), The Persians, & the Scythians (People from N. E. of Armenia, possibly Ancient Russians?)

[pkAKid]

fucking love u bro everyword is true.

Assyrians For Lyfe.

PS. we will reclaim iraqi mutha fuckas.

BTW: fuck all kurds

[thec00k]

@Nimroud You must not forget the nation of Judas was also an ally of babylon.

[123rezo321]

@Nimroud if they were masters of everything why did they fall huh tough guy?

[Nimroud]

@123rezo321 Man, didn't I explain that already in my 1st post? Read it again "Tough Guy", because the answer to your question is already in there! I knew someone would ask this stupid question, that's why I Pre-Answered it.

Another thing, try finding another nation that ruled for nearly 2000 years, like my ancestors did!

Only Romans come close at nearly 1000 years, but I guess for people like you, this is not enough of an accomplishment.

[WestAssyrian]

Persian work? haha go and read history man! this is Assyrian work and the Persian stole the Assyrian warstyle because we were badass back in the days and still are so fuck of

[Assyria4eva]

@WestAssyrian

the persians actually hired Assyrian architects to do a lot of their work.

This is a proven fact.

[BigHater007]

@WestAssyrian Stupid response. You didnt live back then, so how would you know? considering how close those people lived for thousands of years before anything called assyria existed, they deffinatly interacted with culture and art...

[americanliberal09]

@WestAssyrian so dude do you think that the persians are lying about cyrus the great abolished slavery in mesopotamia? just curious dude

[ronaldinho2171]

@WestAssyrian haha well said chuz!!

[hphkmmd]

This is a persian work. They stole it from iran! Not just this work but many others!!!

They are thiefs.

[ART33N]

How dare you put down the great nation of Assyria?? do you even know anything about them?? did you know that there is a study called Assyrialogy ?? those people were so great that scientists today find it difficult to understand how the Assyrians knew so much and were so advanced!! Assyrian pride!

[genie52]

thank god for museums like BM that actually saved tons of treasures like this one and EVERYBODY can see it for free. Usually those types of invaluable treasure are demolished to peaces so those one who had found them can sell them to more ppl for more money. It is sad that larger part of world treasures is devastated in that way....

[BronetGaragAlamana76]

cool

[Isik87]

In fact the Arameans were the ones hunting lions..or atleast the ones who began with it and made it famous

[assyriagrl]

I am Assyrian. And day Assyrians will get back what is rightfully ours.

[prettyboydlove02]

[MalcolmJHK]

Ouch. Poor lions.

[hereticking1]

The British Museum seems to have managed to get it's paws on everything, doesn't it?

[MyMackenzieSL]

Impressive stonework.

[mendelsdwarf]

The lions are incredibly tragic... hard to look at, even in stone...

[HotTapMedia]

[tcrifasi1]

[1BASILIS]
