Michael F. Shaughnessy - 1) First of all, tell us about yourself, where you were born,
and where you are currently working and what you are researching. I was born on July 26, 1960, in Béra, Ilam province, Eastern
Kurdsán. That is the archaeological site Béra.xáni “Béra dukedom” (the Farsi
Badreh). From 1990, I have been of Dutch (Netherlands) nationality, a citizen
of The Hague. Since 1994, I have dedicated my whole time to independently
researching the ancient Near East archaeological sources for early culture,
history and ethnography of the mankind, all over the world in different
universities including the University of Leiden Netherlands, the University
of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Chicago, British
Museum, London University and the British Library in London. |

Those are texts from ca. 4000 BC, traces of human civilization
and objects from millions years ago, excavated in the Kurdish regions. I take
a different approach, a multidisciplinary scientific approach from the
perspective Kurdish oral traditions, consist of myriad languages, literature,
names etc. of the sites where the ancient sources come from. My research has
led to an adequate understanding of the ancient sources, which shows the
world of the ancient Near East in a completely different way than some know
it to be now. 2) Now, tell us about this book “Bible Discovered” – when did
you decide to write it and why? In 2009, I decided to prepare the publication of the discovery of the Bible part. Because of the huge amount of linguistically, historically and anthropologically innovation subjects, I had to limit the title. The Bible Discovered is a result of the development of my research. Further deepening and expanding of my statements in the Berai 2002, Het Elamitisch de nieuwe verklaring and Berai 2003, Hoe oud zijn de Kurden (in Duth), see the books on http://hqberai.blogspot.com/p/author-books-store.html 3) Are you focusing on the Old or New Testament? The Bible was not the intention of my research but in the
course of the search I realized and for the first time, concrete traces of
many of the Old Testament stories in the archaeological texts and identified
the biblical roots, figures, terms and also some Christian traditions and
symbols of the New Testament in the archaeological sources. 4) Are you examining the Bible from a literature perspective,
or an archeological perspective? From the archaeological perspective, I made connection between
some of the biblical tales with archaeological evidences, which provide the
scientific legitimacy for the biblical accounts. 5) Why study social systems in the Bible- what relevance are
they? The patriarchally terms in the Bible and the Kurdish language
are controllable facts, accordingly to justify that by the modern scholars
identified determinatives for identification of names of the Gods, countries
and cities are false. Consequently, the contemporary accepted ancient Near East gods
names are false, they cannot stand. The ancient “dinger, dinker, il, ila,
ili, ilu, nap, nab” which are identified as determinative before divine
names, in accordance with examination of these terms in the contexts, they
are not determinatives before divine names.” For instance, traditionally the word Babel (Babylon) stands
instead of the next words: Ba, Bau, Babu, Babili, Babilu, Ka-, Kaka, Gaga, Din-, Dinkir,
Ka-dinger-raki, Bábil, Pápil, Apal, Abali, Pápiili, pápiili(ir-ra), Bábiŕu,
Bábiŕuš, Bábiŕuaw, Bábiŕuv(w)iya, bábiliki, báwiliki, etc. In other words, the scholars, at the translation of ancient
Near East scripts, have replaced and demonstrated these words with Bable or
Babylon. In Bible Discovered: Bible = Babel (Babylon), I gathered
together these, from the decipherment of the cuneiform scripts, which are
demonstrated by great researchers like W. Hinz, Rykle Borger, JA. Brinkman.
M.J. Steve and others in the field of ancient Near East Civilization. Except Din “religion” and Dingir, Dinkir “origin of the word
cardinal, religious profession”, the rest of these names mean “father, papal,
fatherly, patriarch or patriarchally”; that is clear in present Kurdish. Dinger or dinker is identified as determinative before God’s
name and stands also for the word Babylon (above). It is true according to
Kurdish that ká dingirraki “fatherly religious-ministry” = Bábiliki
“papally-ministry, patriarchal-ship, fathership” as a social system. But ká
dingirraki cannot be replaced with Bábiliki (Babylon), as it happened.
Bábiliki and ká-dingirraki in no sense indicate Babylon (land, country). Indeed, it is well known in adopted available information and
educational sources in dictionaries and in the Encyclopedias that Babel
(Babylon) means “Gate of Gods” and the holy Bible has been described as:
[Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin biblia, from Greek, pl. of
biblion, book, diminutive of biblos, papyrus, papyrus, pa.py.rus.es or
pa.py.ri (-r) "papyrus, book, from Bublos, Byblos". [Middle English
papirus, from Latin paprus, from Greek papros], plural of biblion book,
diminutive of biblos papyrus, from Bublos Phoenician port from which Greece
obtained Egyptian papyrus]. Apocrypha (Books of the Bible). (Collins English
Dictionary -Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994,
1998, 2000, 2003.) It is clear now that the “biblia, pl. biblion, biblos,
papyrus, papyruses or papyri (-r), Bublos, Byblos” are certainly derived from
the ancient Near East, the Kurdish pa, ba, baw or bab. Compare the holy Bible
to Bábil, Pápil, Apal which mean “papal, fatherly, patriarchal”; Compare
papyrus to Bábiŕu, Bábiŕuš, Bábiŕuaw, Bábiŕuv(w)iya “in the manner of father,
patriarchally, fatherly” and compare papyri(-r) to Pápiili, pápiili(ir-ra)
“papally, patriarchally, fatherly”. Compare the English biblically to
bábiliki, báwiliki “patriarchally”; compare the Apo-crypha to “Ápú-,
fatherly-books”. Despite all speculations concern the name holy Bible, it is
clear now that the Bible certainly has a more ancient root, the ancient Near
East Babil (patriarchal). Compare the holy name Bible to Bábil, Pápil, Apal,
Abali; which mean “papal, fatherly”. Accordingly it is clear how the
Bible-scriptures stand for “patriarchal-books”and nothing else. See Bible
Discovered (Note 5) Pictographs for Ba, Bau, Babu, Babili, Babilu, Ka, Din,
Dingir and (Note 6) Inconsistency between pictographs for Babylon. The Biblical Noah might be identified to ancient Near East
Nah, Nahhu “the nah”, and Nahunda “objective, the Nah concerns”, which at the
accepted decipherments has been identified as the Elams Sun God Nahhunte in
Akkad. The biblical Deluge, the flood story of Noah is the reason
behind the name Euphrates River. The variants ancient names for the Euphrates
River “(U)frahat, (U)prhat, (U)áma, etc.” are Kurdish words for “deluge,
(water)-flood”, which are clearly dedicated to the Biblical deluge, the water
flood of Noah. According to Kurdish, the Biblical Šam son of Noah should be
identified to Nabu-shuma “the prophet Šum, Šám”. The ancient Near East tekst
Mâr-bîti-shumi-bni which is falsely demonstrated as Mâr-bîti-shum-ibni, might
mean “descent of house of Šum”. That is the biblical Šám son of Noah and
identical to the state Šám, Šum (the contemporary Syrian capital Damascus and
contemporary Syria-Lebanon plateau), which is dedicated to the eponymous
ancestor Šum of Noah. Mâr-bîti means “house member(s)”.” The Kurdish names for Prophet Abraham “Ura and Bela” occur
repeatedly in ancient Near East texts, which are the historically reasons
behind many dedicated names of regions and patriarchal indications. The prophet Abraham to be identified in the ancient Near East
scripts to napi.ir.úri; according to Kurdish napi.ir.uri means “the prophet
Abraham”. Napi, nabi, nabú “adjectival, naba d.art., mean prophet, from
the root nap”. And ura, uri, urám, abráim, bráhím are Kurdish names for
Abraham. Very remarkable the Kurdish names for Abram, the Ur variants, have
been attested in ancient texts by Borger 331 (182)” Ur seems to be the root of the word Hebrew. Ura and Abra(m)
are the same words, e.g. Kurdish ur “cloud” and Farsi-Arabic loanword abr
“cloud”. In this case according to Kurdish Hebrew (Habru, Abru, Uru),
adjective plural, means “Abramians, Abrahamians”, which corresponds to the
Old Testament story of the Jewish people, Abramians; this is self-evident.” Ura (Orhay) is the birthplace of Abram and that Nimrud ‘ruled
in Erekh, which is Ura, according to Mar Ephraim Súryaya (the Xedr Aliás). The identification of Ura with Erekh stems from the Biblical
passage Erekh, Bible (Gen. 10:10) “The accepted determinatives for a city name are false, I have
proved that repeatedly in the Bible Discovered. Consequently the biblical
claim that “Nimrud ruled in Erekh (Ark), which is Ura” is true. The Erekh to
be understood as the remained citadel ruins of the Court of Nimrud in the
city Ura, Ŕuhá.” The Bronzes inscriptions from Luuŕsu (treated in the book)
prove a single unified culture and diversity in monoculture from Dáĺeki,
Húzsu to Bábiliki and the patriarchal divisions. Dáĺegi is the indigenous name of the present Bushehr
(Southeastern Iran). Dáĺegi or Dáĺeki means “motherhood matriarchally, matriarchalism”.
Húzsu is the indigenous name of the contemporary Ahwaz in Iran. Húzsu means
“multi-party, multiculturalism”. Bábiliki, Báwilaki, Báwĺai stand for Babel
(the corrupted Babylon in contemporary Iraq) means “fatherhood,
patriarchally, patriarchalism”. Abla (Ebla), Apla, Apú “father, patriarch” is
the proper indigenous name of the corrupt Arabized Al-eppo in Syria. The
Kurdish patriarchal divisions regard the Ezidian, Jewish and Christian. The
Islam is based on the early Kurdish multicultural tradition the Ezidianism,
early Judaism and early Christianity. 6) What is this Institute Elamirkan? Institute Elamirkan is an independent research and educational
institution; I established it in 2001 in the Netherlands (registered
KVK-number 27199183). Institute Elamirkan replaced the former Kurdish Mirkan
Association which was established in 1994 in The Hague Netherlands. The name Elamirkan is abbreviated of Elam Mirkan which
designates cultural heritage of the ancient Kurds. The discovery began with
the Elam and Elamite scriptions that are the reason behind the name
Elamirkan. But in the course of the research became obvious that not only
Elamite, all ancient Near Eastern scriptions (excavated in ancient Kurdish
territories) are scribed in Kurdish tribal languages. I realized, for the first time, that the contemporary accepted
interpretations of ancient Near East scriptions are not correct, consequently
the scholars have a wrong understanding of the early human civilizations,
languages and history. The institutes and museums, consciously or
unconsciously, provide the world public and the scientific circuits with
wrong information about early human civilizations and ethnography. Many of
the historically observed facts behind the conventional scientific wisdom
about the early human civilizations are hoaxes. By not taking the time to
correct the wrongs, the modern scholars are continuing to falsify ancient
documents, and mislead public opinion by providing them with wrong
information. To stop the continuing falsification of ancient Near Eastern
historical documents, I call for a serious re-evaluation of what is being put
out in academic works and to the public about ancient Near East. The Institute Elamirkan tries to correct and reinterpret the
ancient Near Eastern ethnologies, history and languages. By means of research
come to a justifying interpretation of the ancient Near Eastern civilization,
where the proof can be given on historical, ethnological, and etymological
grounds and is backed up by the cultural relationships between the ancient
Near Eastern and European language families in many areas. The Kurdish
language and oral traditions play the key role in this discovery. 7) Symbols- why are they important in the big scheme of
things? The cross symbol images on the cover of the Bible Discovered
date from 4000 BC. The wrong assessments of ancient Near East also betray
historians, sociologists and philosophers Philosophy and conceptual religion did not begin with the
foundation of the Greek philosophy or the raising of the Chinese or Indic
religion, around the sixth century before Christ. There are archaeological evidences for philosophy and
conceptual religion in ancient Near East from at least 4000 before Christ in
Kurdish. America’s premier sociologist, Robert Bellah in a recent book,
“Religion in Human Evolution” tries to identify when religion emerged and how
it changed through the centuries. He ends with the Axial Age of the sixth century before Christ,
focusing on ancient India, Israel, Greece and China. Bellah identifies three stages: enactive, symbolic and
conceptual. Basic rituals are part of the first, then myth and legend, and
finally ethical and theological reasoning. The conceptual stage is one
related to the Axial Age, roughly around the sixth century BC, when Plato and
other thinkers founded Greek philosophy and the Buddha and other teachers
raised Indic religion to a whole new conceptual level, according to Bellah. From a Kurdish perspective in the book Bible Discovered, I
made it clear that the modern sociology and philosophy are based on wrong
assessments concern the early culture, history and ethnography of the
mankind. The very notion of the Axial, conceptual stage did not begin
with the foundation of the Greek philosophy or the raising of the Chinese or
Indic religion, around the sixth century before Christ. The world’s most influential philosophies were founded at
least 4000 before Christ in the ancient Near East in Kurdish language. The
Axial symbols (Coptic Cross and Maltese Cross ) in the sense of “religious
profession and act, mass, mission” occur on ancient Kurdish care bowls and
dishes from 4000 BC; see the cover of Bible Discovered and pg. 104-105; also
see under Din-ger-ki, Din-ker-ki, Ul-maš-ki. The ancient Near East cuneiform sign (maš) means “act, mass,
mission”. The ancient Near East axis, axial, cuneiform sign (dinger,
dinker) means “religious profession, cardinal”; from the root din “religion”
and ger, ker “create, creator”. So din-ker is the origin of the word
car-din-al “religious profession”. These also make assured that the contemporary assumption – the
origins of religious profession date from the time when Christians were
recognized in the Church as followers after perfection in the practice of
religious life, – is not real and should be corrected in: “the origins of
religious profession date from the holy ancient Kurdish time when believers
were recognized in the Kerk (Church) as followers after perfection in the
practice of religious life.”
Written for those interested in human history, culture and
religion, who are seeking to broaden their understanding of the language,
culture, and accomplishments of the ancient people. Bible Discovered is meant for scholars and serious students of
the ancient Near East civilizations and the Biblical archaeology. Archaeologically, anthropologically, cultural, and
linguistically the book is a fascinating, if controversial, counterclaim to
accepted doctrines. The book presents a wealth of information for readers to
examine. It is filled with unique information as it provides a realistic and
ample amount of understanding of the ancient sources of human civilization. With the further deepening and expanding of the research on
subjects which have been discussed in my work, I have enjoyed more and more
success in finding scientific proofs and sources for my statements. Those
have led to new revelations, which I hope to share with readers along this
journey of discovery in the Bible Discovered: Bible = Babel (Babylon). I call
for a serious re-evaluation of what is being put out in academic works and to
the public about ancient Near East. 9) Why do you consider this book to be important? Many of the historically observed facts behind the
conventional scientific wisdom about the early human civilizations are
hoaxes. The statements which have become conventional scientific
wisdom and public opinion in the name of linguistic, historical and
ethnological sciences are inadequate and deceptive. The well-known ancient Near Eastern civilizations Elam,
Babylon, Sumer, Akkad, Hittite, Assyria etc., were not countries or
country-languages. The ancient languages which are unjustly by the European
experts called as Elamite, Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Hittitian,
Assyrian, Syriac, Persian etc. cannot stand, since the texts are clearly
written in the Kurdish myriad languages and the Babylon, Sumer and Akkad were
not countries or country-languages, but patriarchal social systems. The scientific legitimacy of the division of the languages to
Indo-European and Semitic fall at all since the Indo-European related words
are rooted in ancient Near East which are more ancient than Sanskrit. And the
Semitic languages cannot stand since these languages are more ancient than
the Sam. Sam the eponymous ancestor of the Semitic is to be identified in the
ancient texts as a Kurdish descendent, thus. The Table of Nations and the Genealogy of Mankind The Biblical Noah and his house descendants occur repeatedly
in the ancient Near East texts. The listed children of Naoh, the descendants
of house of Noah in the bible Genesis 10, cannot be taken as the Table of
Nations neither as the Genealogy of Mankind. The chronological bible Genesis
indicates only the local Kurdish ethnic groups, identical with the present
name of many contiguous Kurdish ethnics and their issued regions. 11) Where can interested scholars get a copy of your book? “Bible Discovered: Bible = Babel (Babylon)” is available for
