The often claimed descent of Kurds either by the Sumerians-Gutians, Alamannen, Medes, Scythians, Urartians, Hittite-Luwian, Hurrian-Mitanni empire.... or other Kurdish Aryan peoples, the ancient oriental empires were founded. While it is about the early history of the Kurds are only vague conjectures, provide a more detailed historical myths carried over centuries of cultural tradition. The Persian poet Firdausi (940-1020), in his epic poem Schāhnāme Zahhak one of many versions of the tale of the evil Dragon King again, growing out of his shoulders two snake heads. The snakes had to be fed daily with the brains of two children. The snakes had to be fed daily with the brains of two children. Instead of one of the children, the population started to slaughter a calf or lamb and sacrifice his brain.

For these boys and girls that went out from now on as nomads wandering and living in tents of the Kurdish people. In Firdausi led the blacksmith Kaveh (Kawa also) with his cherished flag apron as a rebellion against the tyrant in order to save the people from this cruel ritual. After the modern version of the Kurdish blacksmith Kawa was a Kurd, said the last of his three children to be sacrificed, he slew Zahhak (Assyria) hand with his hammer. These Kurdish and Iranian history of revolt against the tyrant is one of the classical epics, in which the struggle between good and evil plays a central role and sometimes mix the historical facts with myths. The murder of the Dragon King is the 21st to the March 612 put BC when the Medes (Kurds Aryan) conquered the Assyrian (Semitic Arab) capital of Nineveh.

Forging generally have a special, magical abilities, in several Central Asian epics is the mythical hero Epensänger yet blacksmith. The mythical blacksmith Kaveh has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdistan applicable to a Kurdish tradition character and upgraded to a national symbol of freedom. The kurdish new year Newroz and Medes/Median myth plays in the historical picture of the PKK a central role. History In the exemplary furthermore, the lived experience of a threatened group is included, which withdraws from danger in the mountains and there insured as a tribe of their own background. In such legends are built on genealogies. The Odes and Ballads of Kurdish folk poetry are in a tradition that reaches from Siberia, Central Asia and Iran to Anatolia. Epics that relate to historical events, and romantic tales often can not accurately distinguish from one another, both in the region include similar narrative structures all metabolic reactions and adapted to the specific cultural identity. The receipt of a national tradition for its own folklore can be abused in some cases, for political propaganda purposes. Return to the cultural tradition and its denial on the other side are opposing strategies in the same political struggle.
