Origin of the Kurds - Proto Kurds and Mitanni

Nazım Kök sheds light on Kurdish history with his book The Origin of Kurds, Proto Kurds and Mitanis. The ability of human beings to reach civilizations, which sprout like seeds in the deep-rooted pages of history, constantly arouses curiosity. Issues such as the first settlements, the sequence of historical periods, the human-nature-society relationship require details and resources. The author, with his investigative personality, discusses the stages through which the Kurds rose in existing settlements, their relations with other civilizations, and their wars with documentary descriptions, while holding up a mirror to history by touching on language, culture and social issues in depth. The wars, migrations and cultural massacres that Kurds face in the places where they live are not far from today's society. In the dark pages of history, for some reason, human beings neither capture the whole nor give qualification to the separation. The presence of the Kurds, which left their mark in the first places, gives a special importance to their place in history with the sources cited by the author. The foundations of Zoroastrianism, its religious characteristics, and its place in society are also discussed. What remains in memory with this book is one. If modern culture is to progress by taking lessons from the past, why does the fate of the Kurds turn into a nightmare at this point? We are faced with a historical understanding that sheds the sweat of death.
