The Indigenous Aramean
people of Aram-Nahrin
The
Aramean people of Mesopotamia are the indigenous people of Aram-Nahrin.
The Aramean people, not to be confused with 'Armenians', speak Aramaic,
the language spoken by Abraham, Moses and Jesus Christ. Today's Arameans
are divided into various denominations and called by different names (More
about this:
Here &
Here.)
The culture, history, language and faith of the
Aramean people have attracted the attention of many people including
scientists, artists, linguistics, clergy and laymen. The Italian film
producer Giacomo Pezalli, for example, was so impressed by the history
of one of the oldest existing Semitic people in the world that he
decided to make a film about the Aramean people entitled
The Hidden Pearl: The Aramaic
Heritage of the Syrian Orthodox Church.
The script for the film was
written, amongst others, by professor Sebastian P. Brock, a professor at
Oxford University. Professor Brock
specializes in Hebrew, Aramaic and Syrian Orthodox Church
history. This marvellous and breathtaking scientific multimedia project
can serve as a source of information for those who are interested in the
culture, religion and history of one of the oldest Semitic people of the
Middle East, who have been living in this part of the world for
thousands of years.
Contributions to world civilisations
The Aramean
indigenous nation of Middle-East made a great contributions to world
civilisations. This is well summarized by professor
Sebastian Brock who says, “Almost all
societies are dependent upon the use of writing, but very few peoples
realise that the great majority of the world’s scripts can be traced
back to a common ancestor, an alphabet invented in the Middle East four
thousands years ago, which was subsequently refined by the Phoenicians
and the Aramaeans who spread it throughout the known world. It is thus
without doubt one of the greatest gifts of the Aramean peoples to world
culture.” (Hidden
Pearl volume I: Page 27)
“…Nevertheless it is undeniable
that the simple Aramaic alphabet of 22 letters has had the most
extraordinary impact on the development of alphabetic writing systems
throughout the world. Indeed, it is very
hard to imagine how human culture and scientific learning could have
progressed without (the Aramaic language).” (Hidden
Pearl volume I: Page
58)

Aramean people and Christianity
After the
coming of Jesus Christ, the Arameans of
Aram-Naharaim
accepted the teachings of Christ and established, together with the
apostles of Jesus Christ and the converted Jews, the Syrian Church of
Antioch, the second Patriarchy after Jerusalem, where, for the first
time, the followers of Jesus Christ were called “Christians”
(Acts 11:26). This church was the mother of
all the Churches – and the first Church established outside Israel –
whose Patriarch currently resides in Damascus , Syria
.
The Semitic
Arameans underwent a change of name after they had embraced Christianity
and were then called “Syrians”,
in order to be distinguished from the Arameans, who were not converted.
Regarding the synonymy
Aramean/Syrian
for one and the same
people, please find here below the testimonies of the
brilliant scholars of the (West and
East)
Syrian
Church
of
Antioch
.
 Please
Click here for the testimonies of the brilliant scholars of the Syrian
Church of Antioch
"Assyrians", "Chaldeans",
Maronites etc.. etc.. all are Arameans. All the Christians of Middel-east
( except the Copts of Egypt) are Arameans.
The conclusion of these Gaint scholars is beyond any doubt, namely
that the Syrians, in our known by various
names, are the Arameans of Mesopotamia! When these
brilliant scientists of the Church of Antioch provided the world of
their time with an excellent scientific knowledge, wisdom and theology,
the Western countries were not formed yet in their present-day
magnitude. The science which then were explored, later transferred to
the West, was here still in its infancy. It is a mystery, why these and
many other scholars of our Church are just ignored when it came to the
identity of our people. Isn’t a lack of respect towards these scholars
when today some of the so-called "scholars" in the Western countries
try, with doubtful (political) objectives, to link the Syrian people to
the former Assyrians of antiquity? (More
about the brilliant scholars of the Church of Antioch.........)
Aramean
denominations
In East-Syriac we say:
Suryaye and West-Syriac dialect of Aramaic we say: Suryoye.
The English translation is: Syriac /Syrian.
.
In the Middle East they can be found in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey,
Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. In the very beginning of Christianity our
people were geographically divided into West-Arameans and East-Arameans.
Roughly speaking, the East-Arameans were those living in Persia and the
West-Arameans were those living in the Roman Empire. Over the course of
time, our people split into various Christian denominations.
(More..:
)
The area where the Aramean
people come from was known as “Mesopotamia”
and has been divided into the modern countries Iraq, Syria, and Turkey
since the 20th century.
In the ancient times the cradle
of the Aramean forefathers was called,,
Aramnahrin" (or: Aram-Nahrin)
in Aramaic. In Hebrew it was called,,
Aram-Naharaim" which we encounter in
the old testament. When the old testament was translated into Greek,
the term Aram-Naharaim was
translated by Mesopotamia; which
many get familiarized with during their education.
Because of overwhelming presence of Arameans in this part of the world,
in the era of early Christianity, it was called
Beth-Aramaya, meaning (in Aramaic)
the house of the Arameans. The
northern part of Aram-Naharaim was called
Paddan-Aram, meaning the land of
Aram where Biblical figures like Abraham and Jacob have lived
and walked, which is roughly speaking situated in south-eastern Turkey.
A part of Paddan-Aram is today called Tur
Abdin in the Aramaic (Syriac) language, which means “the
mountains of the servants of the Lord”,
because of the overwhelming presence of monasteries and churches.

The Western
missionaries and the creation of mythical identities...the Aramean
spiritual genocide….
The
confusion regarding the identity of the Arameans of Mesopotamia was
created in the 16th and late 19th century when the
Western missionaries went to the middle-east and started with their
mission activities.
Although the name of our people
and its history is very well documented by brilliant scholars of the
Syrian Church of Antioch, the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican
missionaries felt it necessary to stick mythical names onto the minds of
our people, which has caused us to be frequently misrepresented in some
media by people who have no authority whatsoever to speak on behalf of
our people. Here below a
word or two about the behavior of the Western missionaries carried out
in the middle-east in the 16th, 19th and 20th century
In 1552/53 the Syrian
“Nestorian” Church of the East was split into two groups as a result of
the activities of the missionaries of the Roman Catholic Church. The
part of the Church united with the Catholic Church in 1552/1553 assumed
the name “Chaldean” and with
that, the Chaldean Church (of Babylon) was born.
In the late 19th century, we see a similar
thing happening. This time, being carried out by the Anglican
missionaries, with the remaining part of the East-Syrian “Nestorians” of
Hakkaria (bordering Turkey and Iraq) and Urmia
(Iran), who were wrongfully identified as “Assyrians”;
purely geographical and only applied to the
“Nestorians”.
The East-Aramean “Nestorians”
prefer, since
then, to call themselves “Assyrians”
and try, by all means possible, to
force this term
onto other Aramean denominations
by spreading plenty of biased information regarding the origin of our
people and our language.
Go
to Room of Shame: History and Aramean language Forgers
These painful and mythical
descriptions in reference to our people, invented by outsiders, who were
unaware of the
Hidden Pearl, which was, till the present day, buried beneath
the persecutions and ethnic cleansing of past centuries, are definitely
not in agreement with the historical facts recorded by the brilliant
historians of the Church of Antioch (quote above) who
enlightened the world of their time, not only with the theological
knowledge but with profane science as well.
Western
missionaries:
Aramean Spiritual Genocide:
,,Assyrians" a spiritual product of Jesus of the West.
The behaviour of the Western
Missionaries towards the fragmentation of the Aramean nation and the by
themselves created fanatical Spiritual product,,Assyrian" can only be
understood from the spiritual point of view. Which ,,Jesus" is behind
this horrible form of ,,evangelism"? To understand this please click on:
Aramean Spiritual Genocide:
Western Spiritual Colonialism
British and American
missionary circles long believed that the peoples of Hakkaria [=East-
Aramean "Nestorians"] were the descendants of one of the
Lost tribes of Israel. They created
a sort of myth around the
Nestorians, who are of
Syriac extraction....
(Sebastian de Courtois, The Forgotten [Aramean] Genocide, page 8)
 European
Parliament and the Aramean Spiritual Genocide: The "product" and
"creation" of their forefathers.
The Western missionaries came to the Middle East in the name of “Jesus”
and were supposed to preach love, unity, support and protect their
fellow weak Christian brothers and sisters against fanatical people of
the Middle East. However, instead of doing their duty as true
Christians, they weakened, created hatred and split our people in
several sects with the result that our people became vulnerable to the
fanatical groups of the Middle East

Subject: Aramaea
Dear Team,
Thank you for your insightful website.
I
came your way because I am attempting to find out why I named my
daughter Aramaea.
While I was pregnant I dreamed a reoccurring dream in which a voice kept
saying to me "and the child shall be
called Aramaea"..
Once I had given up and declared "OK THE CHILD SHALL BE CALLED ARAMAEA!!"
The Dream stopped. Now I am researching what Aramaea means, who they
were/are, and why the heck a little baby in New Zealand should be named
Aramaea. Hence I have discovered your site... how wonderful. I will
attempt to locate some-one here in New Zealand who can perhaps teach my
daughter the language. She will be One year old on April 7th. I have
attached a photo of her for you to smile at. She is a lovely little
soul, I shall do my best to bring her up to do her lovely name justice.
Thanks Again,
Helen Todd, Aramaeas Mum.
Aramaea....Birthday......
Genocide of Christians of Ottoman Empire
|
Henry Morgenthau was United States ambassador
to Ottoman Turkey between 1913 and 1916. In his book
'Henry Morgenthau's story'
we read about the Genocide of the Christians in the Ottoman
Empire:
"And now the Young Turks, who had adopted so many of Abdul
Hamid's ideas, also made his Armenian policy their own. Their
passion for Turkifying the nation seemed to demand logically the
extermination of all
Christians---Greeks, Syrians (= Arameans), and Armenians.
....... They would
destroy all Greeks, Syrians (= Arameans), Armenians, and
other Christians, move Moslem families into
their homes and into their farms, and so make sure that these
territories would not similarly be taken away from Turkey.
