Wing bones from large birds have
been found in Archeological digs in Kurdistan
dating back 10,800 years. Izady speculates a
connection to the Cult of Angels religions of the
Kurds. Izady,
The Kurds. Pg. 21.
Since Peacocks are not native to
Kurdistan or the Caucasus Izady speculates that
the so-called Peacocks are actually the Great
Bustard once found in the region. The great
bustard had multicolored tail feathers but
shorter than a peacocks and more like a Turkey's.
Izady,
The Kurds. Pg. 156.
Yezidism is one of the three
Kurdish religions commonly called the Cult of
Angels. Malak Tawas or Lucifer as we know him was
the first Archangel of the Great Creating Spirit
or God as we know him. Malak Tawas was given
dominion over earth. He is often represented as a
great bird usually called a peacock but Izady
speculates the bird is actually a great bustard. Izady,
The Kurds. Pg. 156.
Alevism is one of the three
Kurdish religions commonly called the Cult of
Angels. The are also called the "deifiers of
Ali" and suggest that Ali and Mohammed were
temporal manifestations of the same spirit being
which they refer to as Alimohammed. Shah Ismail
would refer to himself as Alimohammad suggesting
his own . Izady,
The Kurds. Pg. 150.
The Yezidi cap is the same as the
Mithras cap. Izady,
The Kurds. Pg. 260
