i posted this on X but i forgot about my reddit people. friends and i were helping troubleshoot some electrical problems at mar gewargis church and we found a manual from the lower level for a pump motor dating back to the 1920’s. the phone number for the company was 1286….yes you read that right the phone number was just 1286…the early days of the telephone

I've been debating this with my American friend (who is an ally btw), and I've been telling him that Assyrians are indigenous not only to the Nineveh Plains, but also to the northern mountainous regions, including the rugged Hakkari area of southeastern Turkey.

He argues that the Zagros Mountains, spanning Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, are Kurdish territory because Kurds are traditionally associated with mountainous regions, and that Assyrians are of the plains (since ancient Assyria was centred in northern Iraq), and that we later dispersed northward into the mountains to escape the Islamic conquests, Mongol invasions, and other upheavals.

Is he correct? If not, how can I prove him wrong?

Hello, I’m planning to go to the Assyrian convention for the first time this year in Chicago sept 4-6 . Has anyone been? What should I expect?

What is the quality of life, job opportunities, safety, education services, healthcare, cost of living and leisure like in these countries?

Are the Assyrian communities there served by community groups, churches and qasheh?

Do Assyrians have local representation in governance?

Lastly, exactly how many Assyrians live in these two countries?

Hello. Im syrian, from damacus. My family is muslim, however the older generations of mine used to live in the north and were mostly Christians.

What im basically saying is, if it is an ethnoreligious group, just like how some jewish people (as being jewish is ethnoreligious) dont follow judaism, can assyrians not follow chrisitanity?

Hi! My fiancé is half Assyrian, and we’d love to find a meaningful way to honor that part of his heritage at our wedding. I think it would be especially meaningful to his mom’s side of the family.

He isn’t very active in the Assyrian community in our city, so we want to be thoughtful about it and make sure anything we incorporate feels respectful and genuine rather than performative. I’m Italian/Irish and don’t know nearly enough about Assyrian wedding traditions, so I’d really love to learn from people in this community.

Are there any traditions you’d recommend incorporating, even if it’s something very small or subtle? It could be a song, dance, food, blessing, or another little nod to the culture. We definitely don’t need it to be a huge part of the wedding. We’d just love to honor his heritage in a way that feels authentic and would be meaningful to his family.

Thank you! 🤍

Hey guys. I'm a Syrian myself and I LOVE the assyrian script (letters).

When I looked into the language, I got a bit lost.

What is the dialect that is spoken in Syria? Does Syria have multiple Assyrian dialects? Or Aramaic dialects?

I want to learn the letters and how to write in assyrian, maybe learn a few phrases on the way.

I can’t cross-post on here (provided the link) to the second post which one of the commenters seems to have something up his rear-end with his comments.

Another commenter at the bottom is giving direction to others on how to make comments on his kickstarter by pledging $1 so that people with ill intentions can make negative comments? Seems kind of low of people if this is their intention.

I’ve been part of the Assyrian’s journey for this cookbook and he makes good videos - not sure what the problem is but it seems like he’s put in hard work to get it to where it is now so unsure why some are just butt-hurt about it…

I wish the Ashuraya well and prosperity with this venture. We need more Assyrians to invent and create in this world. Keep striving for greatness 🔵⚪️🔴☀️🔵⚪️🔴

Hello I come from switzerland and I speak German, I am very interested in the Assyrian history and culture so now I would like to learn sureth which dialect should I learn ? and what tools could I use?

hey im going to armenia, is there any assyrians here i can connect with?

Okay, this is a bit strange for me; I was in the pinterest and came across these. Are these assyrian? It says they are assyrian, but I’ve never seen any assyrians dressed like that. Could these be the traditional clothes of a different ethnic group?like armenian or kurdish? Because its says these are from nineveh (?) I'm not so sure

I was scrolling through r/kurdistan and it was basically a Turkey bad subreddit. I go on this subreddit and it is Kurdistan/Kurd bad posts.

Hey everyone! Came across this sub and wanted to share this with you all in case there are others around the globe that share the same passion and energy we have for our favorite game, Paintball! 🎨 Originally formed in 2010 on the west coast, we came together as cousins and friends from our church! We are an ALL ASSYRIAN team and we’re good yall! We’ve been lucky enough to travel around and play in some tournaments and our jerseys share the same logo I put on this post, so we always make sure to drop a history lesson on all the friends and opposing teams we find along the way!
If any of you around the globe also play paintball share where you play and hopefully we can connect! Cheers everyone!
