According to your picture, the Sun on your Kurdistan Flag has 23 rays instead of 21, which is the official number on our flag. Can you modify the flag you are selling to have 21 rays?

This is an important aspect of the Kurdish flag just as 13 stripes is important to the American flag.

I heard in a kurdish tv , that it is something in Yezedi relligion...not sure what... i guess there are 21 angels or something.

It has to do with 21 march (newroz).

I dont think so , because 21 march in kurdish calender is the first day of the year and first day of the calender [by kurdish calender it is the 1th XakaLewe]

how a nation bases his flag and his new year date on a foriegn calender while he himself has a calender?

because 21th March is the equinox. So the year starts the day of the equinox of spring. not a question to be the 1st March or something else. It is the 1st day of spring.

I didnt mean that it should be 1th march...I bet you dont know kurdish calender...I have a kurdish calnder on my wall ... it shows both georgian and kurdish calender...

infront of 21march it starts 1th xakelewa...

21 march has no meaning in kurdish...march is not a kurdish month...kurdish montsh start by another system...

it wouldnt be logical to think that kurdish flag been desinged based on georgian calender...while we ourself have a kurdish calender...

Most Kurdish writers have claimed that the 21 rays represents Newroz, 21st, as the Sun is a symbol of the New Day, as well. However, others claim that the 21 rays ALSO represent the number of Avestan Nasks, the holy writings of Zoroaster (Zerdest).

It is possible those scholars are correct and the 21 rays represents both.

Perhaps it would be instructive to know who created this flag ? It was the same than in Mahabad or there is slight change ?

And Medya : I have seen many Kurdish calendars, all of them different each others. Even the name of months changes ! :? For example March=Adar, April Nissan, etc. In fact it is the old Babylonian calendar !

But the months you call have different names... well one more in the collection !

Adar and Nisan never were Kurdish... :roll:

Actually they are not Babylonian either - they are Hebrew...

And Kurdish months only change by name... They don't change by date... :wink:

Hebrew used this calendar I know but I think that they have taken it from Babylonia. After the fall of Jerusalem most of Jews were deported in Babylonia and they taken much thing of Mesopotamian culture... If you read Mose's story, for example, you see much similar point with Sargon's legend/biography (the first king of Akkadian empire).

Fior the Kurdish calendar, I hope that they don't change by date ! their names are so complicated by themselves :x
