Our ancestors were the Sumerians, Hurrians, Mitannis, Urartians ( ur from sumer), Aryan tribes, Anatolians (not turks), Gutis, Elamites, Manneans, Alans and a few more. This based on the linguistic and geographical terms. The kurds are a very mixed people but to put it in simple terms we are a mixture of the Native peoples of our area and have aryan and eastern european (georgians e.t.c) influence. Armenians are pretty much kurds they are just christians and have formed a different identity to the kurds, they also have more of an european influence. their capital is yerevan which pretty much is yerewan coming from the wan region. Wan is a very kurdish name.

The median tribes:
The Busae group is thought to derive from the Persian term buza meaning indigenous (i.e. not Iranian). Whether this was based on an originally Iranian term, or their own name, is unknown.
The second group is called the Paraetaceni, or Parae-tak-(eni) in Persian, and denotes nomadic inhabitants of the mountains of Paraetacene. This name recalls the Scythian Para-la-ti, the people of Kolaxis, believed to represent the common people in general, but whom Herodotus calls the "Royal Scythians".
The third group is called Strukhat.
The fourth group is the Arizanti, whose name is derived from the words Arya (noble), and Zantu (tribe, clan).
The fifth group were the Budii, found also among the Black Sea Scythians as Budi-ni. Buddha was of the tribe Budha, the Saka (eastern Scythian) form of the name.
The sixth tribe were the Magi...They were a hereditary caste of priests of the Zurvanism religion that evolved out of Zoroastrianism. The name Magi implies a link with the Sumerians, who called their language Emegir, over time becoming simplified to Magi. Hungarian tradition also traces pre-European Magyar (Hungarian) ancestry back to the Magi. In time, the Sumerian-influenced religion of the Magi was suppressed in favour of a more purely Iranian form of Zoroastrianism, itself evolved from its somewhat dualist beginnings into the monotheistic faith that it is today (also known as Parsi-ism).
Kurds/ Mede soldiers always wore rounded caps or slightly pointed ones (not to be confused with assyrian ones)

Baghdad was also built by the kurds, very long ago probably in the sumerian times its name means something on the lines of Court or Law like our modern day Dadga meaning court. The sumerians were based in modern day south iraq and kuwait but back then this land was fertile the sumerians eventually were invaded by the akkadians (assyrians) from the north of saudi. Eventually after the land became less fertile and their was not much water left the sumerians moved north (were their was other sumerians and natives living) and intergrated well into their society. The sumerians once again were invaded by the semetic-akkadians (assyrians) and renamed and burnt many cities. they based their capital in modern mosul back then they renamed it ninawa (remember they are invaders) they thought they could just stay their but the kurds reunited under Diako (founder of the median empire -greatest kurdish king however his name was mentioned 6000 years ago) and defeated the ass-yrians around 615 BC.
after that the assyrians never reformed and have been homeless since. They can look to their arab brothers in the south were they belong and are very welcome 
The Akkadians claimed everything to be theirs, they took the language, cuneiform, culture, religion and put their own twist on it.
In modern times the history in iraq only goes as back as the akkadian times and all the cities have been akkadified or arbabized. We have lost alot of our native land but nowadays they are shitholes beyond re-construction :/
However the Medes (biggest kurdish empire) were just a unifaction of all tribes in the kurdish regions. hamadan ( hagmatana - the place of meeting)
Zoroastrianism is basically a summary of all the religions practiced amongst our ancestors. We believed in one god (ahura mazda - which means awri mazin - which means fierce fire or hot fire) and frawahar ) fra - meaning alot and wahar meaning wealth) was his main angel. the religion was based on fire, water, air and earth. Good words Good thought Good deeds.

Remember we are layers of the people who have come to our land in peace and have integrated. In modern times kurds as a whole are mixed pretty well we can tell today because in every part of Kurdistan you will find people that look the same. The only reason ones area or tribe may look different is because they have been marrying their own family and have kept their certain traits.
We also know kurds are mixed as a whole because the Zazas in the most western part of kurdistan speak a dialect almost identical to Hawramani ( eastern kurdistan- the language closest to our mother language Awesta)
Kurmanji also comes from the word Kur - son and magi- median tribe.

Farsi comes from Parsis which now means Persian. the p could not be pronounced by arabs so it was changed and became farsi. farsi is kurdish, arabic and turkish mashed into a pile of shit and put on with a "classy" french american accent. Meeercy azizam. Persians are an ethnic minority in their own "country" the bulk of iranis population is azeri. Reza Shah was actually 3 quarters azeri he tried to be persian but he couldnt and tried to unify everyone in "iran" under the same name.

Sassanis were the last kurds to rule an empire just the name alone proves its kurdish. No iranian has the name sassan but kurds do its my cousins names. The king Ardashir was from kermanshah. Also kermanshah holds one of the most significant reliefs surviving today. Yazdgurd was also kurdish. The sassanis were also a dynasty they embraced unity and ruled with an iron fist. prophet mohammeds teacher was a mugh (magi) a zoroastrian priest exiled from iran by the sassanis. Mohammeds teachings are based upon zoroastrianism.
