:1. Based on written history Kurds were first mentioned by the Sumerians as Kurtî/Kurdi , 3 000 B.C. And as you see, even their name, Kurd/Kurti never changed for the last 5 000+ :2. Although after the German Archaeologist, Klaus Schmidt started the unearthing of ancient historical sites that’s known as Xerabreşk and Girê-Miraza, and results of Kurdish DNA analysis of skeletal remains from Girê-Miraza/ “Gobekli Tepe”, matches that of modern Kurdish populations in the region, suggesting genetic continuity. + :3. The site's Kurdish name, Girê
Miraza (Wishing Hill), reflects its long-standing cultural and spiritual significance to local Kurdish communities, who have considered it sacred for thousands of years. + :4. Archaeologist Dr. Klaus Schmidt, who led excavations, stated:
"Whoever lives in the area now, they built the hill of Girê-Miraza. This aligns with Kurdish oral histories and scholarly claims that Kurds have inhabited the region since the Stone Age, even the traditional Kurdish Tattooes on the bodies of local Kurds in the region matches the carved symbols found in Girê-Miraza. So based on the historical facts of Girê-Miraza that goes back to 9-10 000+ B.C., Kurds have never left the region that’s known as Kurdistan for the last at least 12 000 years. +:5. Xerabreşk (also spelled Khirabresk) is a Kurdish village near Girê-Miraza/ “Göbekli Tepe.” In the 1990s, a local Kurdish farmer, Mehmûd Kilic, discovered the first T-shaped pillar while plowing his field, leading to the site's excavation. +6. Cultural Identity: The hill's Kurdish name, Girê Xirabreskê (Black Ruin Place), underscores its indigenous Kurdish heritage. Turkish authorities later renamed it “Göbekli Tepe” ("Potbelly Hill"), but its original Kurdish nomenclature persists in local traditions. +:7. Debates and Scholarly Perspectives
Ethnic Continuity, While the term
‘Kurd’ as a distinct ethnic identity emerged later, during the Sumerian era, the genetic and cultural links between the Neolithic builders and modern Kurds are supported by DNA studies and historical accounts.+8. Kurdish researchers, such as Ferdinand Hennerbichler, argue that Kurds descend from ancient populations in the region,
