I’ve found that the places around the world that people tend to fear the most are the ones we should spend the most time learning about. This area of Northern Iraq, also called Iraqi Kurdistan, is one of the most unique, off the beaten path places I encountered as I traveled to every country. Once you lean in past the modern tensions, everything from the people to the foods and the rich history leaves you wanting to discover more.
I recently had the opportunity to travel back to Iraq and explore this complex country deeper with my friend Drew Binsky and Thomas and Cory from Yes Theory. We were documenting our experiences for an epic Yes Theory video, you’ll be able to see our full adventure through Iraq on Yes Theory’s TH-cam Channel next year so don’t forget to subscribe and keep an eye out for that coming soon: / yestheory
The Yazidis are also known as the People of the Peacock Angel. Their way of life is rooted in ancient, indigenous Mesopotamian beliefs. Its estimated to be only 500,000 Yazidis living in Iraq today. To truly be a Yazidi, both of your parents must also be Yazidi. It is impossible to convert to Yazidism and Yazidis are not allowed to marry outside of the religion. This makes them an inherently peaceful people because the Yazidis aren’t invading forgein land to convert followers and wipe out people who don’t share the same beliefs. The holiest of all places for Yazidis is Lalish. They believe it is the Garden of Eden where Adam and humanity began making it the oldest place in the world. It is expected for every yazidi to make pilgrimage to Lalish at some point in their lives and be cleansed by the holy waters. The ground is so sacred here, it is forbidden to wear anything dirty ‘[[on your feet so the first thing we did when we arrived was remove our shoes…
Yazidism is an oral religion, passed down through word of mouth for generations. The Yazidis believe in 1 God who has created 7 angels to help guide humanity, the most important being Melek Tawus or the Peacock angel. Yazidis believe they are descendants from the first man, Adam, and that the Peacock Angel was present when Adam was still in the Garden of Eden. Malak Taus is a fallen angel, sent down to earth, to lead their people. A fallen angel has negative connotations in other religions, as the devil is also often perceived as an fallen angel. This cultural misunderstanding has given the title of “devil worshipers” to the Yazidis for centuries. This is also inaccurate because the Yazidis don’t actually have an all encompassing evil spirit in their mythology but regardless, this dispute has justified centuries of violence and forced conversions against the Yazidis.

I am yazidi and you made me emotional watching this beautiful video full of details 🤍thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
❤
The yazidi people are kurdish . yazidi is a religion .
Are Yazidi is a devil worshipper, please correct me here
Kenapa wanita2 para penganut Yazidi itu kebanyakan cantik2 dan putih2 kulitnya ... sayang sekali mereka jarang tersenyum apalagi tertawa ter-bahak2 ... 😅😂
Hi can you tell me the painting of a girl lighting peacock lamp is it true painting of yazidi she looks like India woman
Long live yazidis.love,respect and support from India.
"We are the victims of terrorism, so don't stereotype us with terrorism"
Thank You!
A good soul, with the honest inside of a human, doesn't need to be advertised, no matter what they said about the specific tribe, the truth will come up... Those who are advertising their (whatever they proud of ) is due to lack of their honesty...
You never can be a terrorist because we know what is your root. You are one of us we all are sanatanis.
Devil worshippers
Heartwarming story Lexie.. Excited for the full road-trip across Iraq to come out 🙏
yes theory can you guys please make it iraqi kurdistan instead of iraq
@@landwrya9626 no Iraq
I am Yazidi myself I fled from Shingal and now I live in Canada. I think since I have watched hundreds of videos about Yazidis but this is probably the first truthful and honest and amazing and definitely the best video I’ve seen talk about our religion and culture. Many would make videos say Yazidis are evil worshiper or that they are Kurds, Arabs, or Persians, that is just like helping ISIS with the annihilation of the Yazidis. You have only said the truth and that’s what makes you and this video special. Love you and love what you are doing. You are very inspiring and I really liked this video and all your other videos that I’ve watched. Love from a Yazidi to you and your colleagues. Peace and Long Live Ezidi, Kurmanji, Ezidxan. ❤️❤️🥰🙏🏼 only showing the truth and not mixing other misinformations about something makes someone love you. Yazidi prayer: “I Pray peace and blessings to 72 nations and then the Yazidis”❤️
@@yousifibraheem8572 no
Nice video but on behalf of all Kurds we would like to ask you to at least put the words ‘Kurdistan ’ or at least ‘Iraqi Kurdistan’ in the title because it eliminates the Kurdish identify. Kind regards
Amazing video Lexie!!! It was so fun to join you on this trip!!
Drew you're the best bro.
Big love from Somalia🇸🇴
You people are doing great job I am hindu from from India and I incredibly respect and love these people because they are more like Hindus their temples are like us, their beliefs are like us and they are non violent people pure kind hearted people 🙏🏻❤️🇮🇳
Thank you for coming to Kurdistan brother Drew Binsky

Tamil and yazidis same culture, same god..... Murugan
The prayers being sung from 8:13 started with the word “Ha-re/ haarey” which is also used by Hindus at the beginning of most devotional chants, such as “ Hare Rama, Hare Krishna” . So much similarities between the two. God bless and may Yazidi culture stay strong and prosper.
Lot's love Yazidis brothers and sisters Hindus are always with you ❤️🇮🇳
first respect minorities in india and stop violating tourist
sir can u be specific which minority.. and we do not violate tourists here.. we respect them .
@@homer1273
Christian and Muslim almost destroyed many ancient religions across the world to answer it first. Victim card players.
@@homer1273 India has growing minorities, their population growth rate is higher than majority communities. Tourists are violated in every country and far higher in westren nations but they dont make it to news. Check your numbers properly,We didn't invade around the world for stupid religious conversions.
No respect to jihadis, 😂😂
Cry all you want@@homer1273
„We are the victims of terrorism, so don‘t stereotype us with terrorists“
I feel so bad for these people, they seem to have such a bright mindset and loving culture. And after all the issues they have to fight against the media, which keeps putting them all in one box sharing only the negativity about their cultures/countries.
Im kurdish, and yes, kurdish people fight for their lives, there are lots of people that hate us because they think were "Poor". Kurdistan has a very nice culture, but we have some problems here that make life harder for us. However, kurdistan is not down, i know out reigon is still not born to he a country, but there are still fun things to do here, such as: There are a ton of malls with a lot of different categories to buy. Plus, our villiages are absolutley amazing, things here are mostly homemade, and healthy. There is also something that had made our country even more popular and unique, and its our foods. The best meal you can ever get, is yaprax, kfta, kuba, and so on... Theyre absolutley AMAZING (they make me wanna fly LMAO) Well anyways, its not nice for us to be called "Poor" so please respect us more, however i know u mean no disrespection シ Have a good day, and stay safe❤
Terrorism has no links to Islam. Just letting y’all know.
@@epiccookie9889 yeah, sadly a lot of ppl think islamists would equal islam. judging others, but don‘t even have basic education.
@@epiccookie9889 if someone is Muslim it doesn’t mean they are terrorist
@@epiccookie9889 do you even know about Islam and Muslims you little kid
Wow... Yazidi people are so humble and they have so much similarities with southern Indian roots and culture. The peacock 🦚 is the vehicle of lord Kartikeya, also known as lord Murugan in south east asia, who is known as the son of Lord Shiva who was a feirce warrior and was primarily looking after the south direction. There are some old texts which talk about some sect of people migrating from Southern India to west and settled in parts of Turkey and Iraq ( may be called Mesopotamia and Babylon back then).
As a Balinese Hindu , here we could be has different way with India for example here peacock is symbol of glorious and beautiful it was one of power of goddess Saraswati we don't know about kartikeya or murugan but after i trace it i found that in Balinese Hindu we call it Kumara ( Kumara as angel who guard a baby , also threre are catur Kumara as four guardian Angels ) .. i hope all yazidis being protect by their holy ancestor and lord Siwa🙏
@@putuagus1747yes bro, iam living in Tamil Nadu India here kartikeya or murugan also known as kumara (son of lord Shiva) and my name is sivakumar
@@putuagus1747yes bro Peacock is the best friend of Kartikeya not vehicle And He cares him like his own child
I really like how the Yazidis are very warm and welcoming. It's very sad to hear about all that has happened to them over the years especially several years ago. I hope they will continue to prosper for many years to come! This was such an enlightening video!
Most Kurds are like that ur picture of Iraq is just war but Kurdistan is not Iraq Kurds are not Iraqi Arabs we are different but we only recently got recognition in Iraq which is only a small chunk of Kurdistan u should visit I would recommend going to slemani or Hewler they are big cities which are very modern especially in slemani most young girls/teenagers are not ever wearing a hijab u won’t feel like different except for maybe the skin tone difference but that’s nothing
Thanks♥️♥️
As a yezidi reading your comment we really appreciate it. A lot of things have happened to us. ISIS attacked us and many of my family members were killed. I hope and I would do anything just for the yezidi religion to not end because it means so so much to us.
@@faisalkalo3980 Sorry to hear your tragic stories. You people really have not much choice.
@@faisalkalo3980 you are going to not just survive but Thrive in incoming years, mark my words, I'm serious and not speaking some motivational thing, you are.❤
It seems like yazidi are long lost family of Sanatan Dharma. We love all our Yazidi brothers and sisters ❤❤❤❤ from Bharat(India).
Greetings from Yazidi
yazidi has nothing to do with india, stop claiming everything is connected with india
@@Yazidi74 The girl in the temple is from south India (Tamil Nadu) and Lamp, peacoak, removing shoes before entering the temple, fire....
Yazidis are worshiping Murugan. Muruga bhagvan. I hope they can visit the temple in Palani, Trichenthur and all the aarupadi veedu ( in Tamil Nadu )
There is also a book about Muruga Bhagvan. "" My masters form fourth dimension "'. I read it 6 months ago. It 's a wonderful book.
When Kumark Kandam ( Lemoria ) submerged in water, people moved to different parts of the world. That's what i read.
You see! So called sanatan dharma didn’t develop in a day but took centuries and centuries. Most of sanatani ways aren’t native to Hindu but brought to ancient India by foreign people migrating to India.
Yazidi are white not Indians
It is such a great feeling seeing my home on a great TH-cam Channel! Love from a Yezidi girl 🤍✨💕
Omg so drmatic 😂😂😂

Being from Iraq this hit different. Much love to my Iraqi Yazidi brothers, I hope you return and rebuild your beautiful lives

Not just Iraq, please include Iran too. Both were Zoroastrian and Yazidi countries. Both had fantastic empires. Unfortunately Islam and Christianity destroyed 90% of all ancient cultures and religions. Look at Afghanistan. No rights for women and Sharia laws are brutal. In Saudi Arabia, MBS is trying to reform. But his family members aren't allowing him to reform so fast. Overconservative orthodox mindset slows down pace of progress. In Iran alone, 75% Iranians consider themselves as Ex-Muslims or Atheists or spiritualists. Once you read Quran and Hadiths in your own language and not in Arabic and then try to find humanity, you wouldn't. Kafirs have no option but to suffer torture and die. Hence we see ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, etc. etc. etc. destroying freedom and peace of humans on this planet.
Yazidis are Kurds not Iraqis
@@corpsertag5967 *75% of the westernised diaspora

Hello.Just wondering,being that your people have been extinct through the time,how do you manage to keep yourself to yourself,I mean get married to your people only?Women cannot get involved with other religion,I got that,but men,can they marry girls from the other religion?I hope you do not get my questions wrong,I am only wondering,never heard about your people till recently and all that what I have heard is so interesting and new to me.Wish you all good and as many people to return to your homeland.

@@malaprinceza100 Hello . I am also a Yazidi girl. I'll answer you instead of this girl. It is not permissible to marry outside the religion. Just ask what you want and if I have time I will answer you. Yes, unfortunately, we are on the verge of extinction. This is because the genocidal campaigns against us exceeded 74. In the past centuries the number of Yazidis was about 80 million, but now they do not exceed a million. The Kurds are originally Yazidis, and because of the past genocide, their religion had to change
@@malaprinceza100 man are also not allowed to marry outside
(The Kurds are originally Yazidis, and because of the past genocide, their religion had to change)
Let me correct that for you. Before the genocide, we were Muslims.

Yazidi religion is actually Hinduism (tamil culture) influenced by middle eastern culture. Snakes are a big part of hindu mysticism and peacocks are only found in indian subcontinent. And the angel seen here is wearing saree and lighting a peacock lamp which is Tamil tradition.
i did some research about them... Yazidis are Indo-Iranian People... Iranian and Indian people have a common ancestor.... This is why Yazidis have some similar culture like indian but it doesn't mean Yazidism is Hindusim... Yazidi is a Monotheism religion and it share some Abrahamic Prophets, as well as concept like Angel, Satan, Heaven, Hell etc.... Yazidi consider a muslim sufi named 'Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir'' as their Peacock Angel..
@@milliyetci5672 For non Hindus and many Hindus too ,think that Hinduism is polytheistic. But if you go and find the source of all creation it is Brahman. Yazidism is definitely influenced by the prophets in middle East. And about the Abrahamic teaching are derived from Zoroaster which in turn was derived from Hinduism. With time as new prophets and monks emerged they shaped the culture in a way that they thought were the best at those times. So nowadays yazidism may culturally be close to Zoroastrianism or Islam than Hinduism. You can see a similar change if you take the example of Buddhism . As It travelled from India to China and to Japan or from India to Sri Lanka. Now Buddhism in each of these countries are different.
@@omkarnaikade9947 abrahimc prophets were monoatheistic
Not polyatheist like hindu

Love you guys .Yazidi 💜

Lovely place when I told my dad and brother I want to go Iraq. They looked at me like I lost my mind but just look at the people. They look so peaceful you can't judge a place just base on a few nut jobs. Thank you for this beautiful video I hope I can go one day soon.
From Iraqi Kurdistan, its really safe and you are welcomed
I'm Ezidi and loved the video, thanks for sharing that 💚💚🌲🌲🌱🌱❤❤

For this amazing video for ezide
my favourite of your videos! Im Jewish from Israel and seeing you reach the corners of the world and sharing the less known religions is very inspiring. I recommend learning about the Druze people!
This was awesome! I’d like to see a video about Zoroastrianism as well.
Beautiful vlog
