The Sassanids - the Kurds' second superpower!
This archaeological finding from the Sassanid era belongs to one of the most powerful eras in Kurdish history
After the Achaemenids, the Sassanids came as the second great Kurdish dynasty in the Middle East.
The ancestors of the Kurds lived a life where music, art and development were an obvious and central part of society.
It was a time of joy, creativity and pride - long before the darkness of the Arab world fell over Kurdistan.
With the Arab invasions and the harsh rules of Islam, the joy of life disappeared
The idea of hell and a life filled with prohibition strangled the culture.
Everything that was beautiful - music, art, freedom - was suppressed and forbidden and darkness spread in all corners of Kurdistan.
What was once a thriving and living cultural heritage turned into centuries of sorrow and oppression
