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?
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.
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.

Arameans, the beloved place of the Syrians"
- *"Beth Nahrin Beth Abraham, the land of Noah, Shem and Aram"
- *Regarding
Syrian community: "The
Syrian community was known from its beginning as
the Aramean community"
- *On
the Syrian (Aramean) language: "In the beginning the Syrian-Arameans
had a refined language adorned with literature comprising both
prose and poetry"
- *On
Wafa, the Aramean philosopher: "Wafa the Aramean
was a ancient philosopher and poet who lived well before the Christian
era"
The Western
missionaries and the creation of mythical identities...….
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

says about the
destruction of the Assyrians
“On
the overthrow of the Assyrian Empire, which was destroyed
by thunderbolts from Heaven……"Truly, then, the poisonous
race may be said to be extinct. Death himself is extinct, and
the truth of the resurrection sealed. Again, the Assyrian
race is gone, (His book: "TO THE ASSEMBLY OF

Tertullian, a lawyer from Carthage (ca. 160 AC) says,,
On this wise, accordingly, (Scripture)
entitled the magi also with the appellation of
"Samaritans,"--"despoiled" (of that) which they had had in
common with the Samaritans, as we have said--idolatry in
opposition to the Lord. (It adds), "in opposition," moreover, "to
the king of the Assyrians,"--in opposition to the devil,
who to this hour thinks himself to be reigning, if he detrudes
the saints from the religion of God. ( Chapter 9 of
his 'An answer to the Jews)

A
remarkable story… the little Aramaea…

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
Aramean- Armenian- Greek
|
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. (CHAPTER XXII) (More:
