Sabrina, your grant father, Doctor Wilson Bet Mansour was an Assyrian parliamentarian in the Iranian parliament. He also was an Editor-in-chief for the Assyrian monthly newspaper, "ATOUR". The eminent, Doctor Bet-Mansour, used to mail his prominent newspaper to me while I lived in Lebanon. Your grand father Doctor Wilson Bet-Mansour was an Assyrian nationalist, and for us all, he still remains as an Assyrian legend and he will forever live in our hearts. I hope your voice echoes the four corners of the Earth. Let the World know.

I'm with you Sabrina. I'm 19 years old and I'll take my lifetime to bring as many Assyrians back together as possible. Möge unsere alte Stärke zu uns Assyrern zurück kehren! Allaha haue minakh

All Assyrians are very proud of you, Bassma Ganakh

Aw, my name is Sabrina and I feel exactly the same! My mom is French Canadian and my dad is Assyrian! His side of the family all speak Assyrian and have so much pride, although I’ve never learned it. The amounttttt of times people reply “youre a Syrian?” and I go “no, assyrian!” Nobody ever knows who they are 🥹

Great job! By the way, Assyria did not cease to exist when the Assyrian Empire fell in 609 BC. You can read about the post-imperial period of Assyrian history, including Achaemenid Assyria (Athura), Roman Assyria, Adiabene, and lastly Asoristan.

Привет из Москвы , братьям ассирийцам! Ассирийцы - один из самых древних народов , которые построили первую в мире цивилизацию и много, многое, многое другое…!!!

Great to know the legacy of Dr. Wilson Bet Mansour goes on. Very proud of you. Excellent presentation.

word up Sista !!! power to all assyrian all over the world !! basimta raba!

this is amazing, seeing an assyrian giving a ted talk is so inspiring! keep it going khatee❤

A speech to define the Assyrian nation, well done Sabrina

Great Job Sabrina, I can see my Uncle"s Assyrian Spirit in you.

Nice presentation. I am Assyrian on my father's side. WIth his recent passing, I have taken a similar plunge into our history and heritage. There is so much to discover!

Thank you for being Assyrian not only in mouth but in heart too. When it comes to identity, our heritage is part of our identity. I suggest since non of you born in America you should say you are Assyrian-French.

Love it! I explain our heritage the same way (though people usually don't believe me because I have blonde hair and blue eyes). We will not allow our language and culture to disappear.

Sabrina glad you retained your heritage and came back to it so strongly!

Absolutely amazing what you've done. You're parents are probably super proud of you for educating the world of who are Assyrians and what have they achieved in the world.

Basma ghanakh!! Khayad! Such an inspiration to all Assyrian youth!

My lovely ❤Assyrians. I love my Assyrian people.

Such a great and interesting presentation. Both Doctors, Wilson and Nora Bet-Mansour would be so proud of you.

Much love from an Assyrian in Germany, Sabrina!

Great Job Dr. Bet Mansour!

Proud Assyrian American here!

What an eye-opening presentation! I grew up in Australia finding it very hard to identify with my Assyrian culture. Always believing it to be "too old" or disconnected from the western world. Now as I'm older, I'm learning to appreciate this rare heritage and history that we have and hoping to learn more about what makes our culture so special!

Brilliant speech. Excellent communication skills!! 👍👍

Excellent presentation! Khaya ganakh.

Basmeganakh! Beautiful presentation 👏👏

Nothing is greater than knowing your identity specially when it is Assyrian ❤ May God bless our beloved nation and united us all together 🤲🤲🤲❤️❤️❤️

“Chaladeans” are slowly opening thier eyes to our actual Assyrian heritage as well.

Excellent presentation. Thank you very much.

So proud of you Subrina. The Assyrian queen Sabrina spoke about our Assyrusn history on TED TALK. You made your grand parents & us proud. My mother survived the Simele massacre of 1933 in Iraq, walking at night, hiding at during the day to Russia. She lived there with her uncles for 7 years and went later back home. She helped us leave Assyria, the occupied land by the Bath party and later by ISIS and corrupted government . For years we dreamed about going back , unfortunately the politic didn't allow that. Now my siblings live in Sweden & I live in US . We were not allowed to learn our language at the church being accused having secret meetings after university hours in Baghdad. I can only speak my language & can't read or write it. The forgotten nation like many others out there by the united nation. There is hope where are young people like yourself.

Assyria, kingdom of northern Mesopotamia that became the centre of one of the great empires of the ancient Middle East. It was located in what is now northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. A brief treatment of Assyria follows. For full treatment, see Mesopotamia, history of: The Rise of Assyria. Assyria was a dependency of Babylonia and later of the Mitanni kingdom during most of the 2nd millennium BCE. It emerged as an independent state in the 14th century BCE, and in the subsequent period it became a major power in Mesopotamia, Armenia, and sometimes in northern Syria. Assyrian power declined after the death of Tukulti-Ninurta I (c. 1208 BCE). It was restored briefly in the 11th century BCE by Tiglath-pileser I, but during the following period both Assyria and its rivals were preoccupied with the incursions of the seminomadic Aramaeans. The Assyrian kings began a new period of expansion in the 9th century BCE, and from the mid-8th to the late 7th century BCE, a series of strong Assyrian kings-among them Tiglath-pileser III, Sargon II, Sennacherib, and Esarhaddon-united most of the Middle East, from Egypt to the Persian Gulf, under Assyrian rule. The last great Assyrian ruler was Ashurbanipal, but his last years and the period following his death, in 627 BCE, are obscure. The state was finally destroyed by a Chaldean-Median coalition in 612-609 BCE. Famous for their cruelty and fighting prowess, the Assyrians were also monumental builders, as shown by archaeological sites at Nineveh, Ashur, and Nimrūd.

Great presentation!

Assyria is rising again

Thank you for the quick and easy info education on Assryian. I'm self teaching educating myself on Assryian and Armenia.❤❤

Very well done Sabrina! I, from the land of the oldest culture & civilisation, wish you all the success in your endeavour. It would be an added pleasure to have been able to be connected with the Assyrians of Today. The sun will rise again, if you wait and struggle for it.

Very well said. Keep up the good work.

Great job!

so inspiring🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏

As a daughter of Jewish parents, who immigrated to Israel from Iraqi Kurdistan, I also speak the Assyrian language - Aramaic.

The Assyrian (Chaldean, Syriacs) Nation needs to unite again and work for out own Region in our ancestral Land where we can speak and teach our Aramaic language, so Our children will learn it and preserve it. Tihe Othur Tihe Suryoye God Protect Assyrian and Assyria will RISE If we do IT! ܬܝܚܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ ܬܝܚܐ ܐܬܘܪ

Wonderful! 👏👏👏👏

Very proud of you. God bless you. God bless Assyrian and God Bless America my home sweet home 🙏🕯️🕊️🇺🇲✝️✝️✝️✝️

Fantastic job 🙏💐

Great job on your message. I am Assyrian, speak Assyrian & sometimes eat Assyrian food. Not sure where you live but try to find middle eastern restaurants near you. There is an annual Assyrian convention held in the US. Maybe you can attend one. Did you know there are Assyrian artifacts in the Paris Museum ? Glad you have interest in part of your heritage. It is part of your blood.

Excellent talk

God bless Assyrian people! ✝️☦️

Great job! We wish you the best in your future.

Loved it! ❤️👏👏👏

Assyrians in Armenia (Armenian: Ասորիներ, Āsōrīnēr) make up the country's third largest ethnic minority, after Yazidis and Russians. According to the 2011 census, there are 2,769 Assyrians living in Armenia,

Both my parents are Assyrian, regardless of how much more difficult it is to explain, I always say that I am Assyrian when asked about my heritage. Wonderful message, well done.

Khaya Ganekh 👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent presentation, keep up the great work.

Proud of you!

Good job queen

Thankyou for the insight of your nation of Assyrian God bless

I’m a Chaldean Assyrian to

Besma ganakh! Ashur Ehyeh bless you 🙏❤️🙏

Well done on raising awareness 👌

Semiramis was a historical Assyrian queen of Babylonian birth, who lived and reigned around 800 B.C.E. By the 18th century the legends associated with her life had eclipsed her actual accomplishments as queen, notably due to the popularity of Voltaire's eponymous play, written in 1748. His version of her life centered on palace intrigue, notably the beautiful queen's affair with Assur, and her plot to have him poison her husband, the king. As he dies, the king implores a trusted friend to take his son, Ninias, away from the palace to save his life. Although Semiramis ruled Babylon well for fifteen years, during that time she was stricken with guilt over the murder of her husband and the loss of her son. Her lover Assur, however, plots Semiramis' death after she refuses to marry him and install him as king. To foil his plans, she arranges to marry a young warrior, who is in fact her son, whom she mistakenly believes to be dead. Ninias is warned away from this incestuous marriage by his father's ghost, who then demands that his son avenge his murder. Led by the ghost, Ninias stabs and kills a form he believes is Assur, but is, in fact, Semiramis.

ܐܬܘܪܝܐ 💫🤍💙❤️

Stay blessed Assyrians harsh times do come ❤🙏🏽

Awesome talk. I am Assyrian on my dads side, don't know how to speak the language. I have children who want to learn too. I'm trying to find ways online but not much out there? Any tips my fellow assyrians??

atten hoyat basemtah. I remember your granfather as a kid growing up in Tehran.

Beautifull talk. One note: only the book of Daniel is originally written in Aramaic. The rest of the old testament is originally written in Hebrew, and the new testament in Greek. Lots of love from the Jewish nation!

God bless you BlessAssyrian i am proud listen to. You

Intresting Language and History. Greetings from Turkey you all 🫶🏻

A wonderful speech. I wish you success after our generation was unable to achieve anything significant other than engaging in narrow church disputes. “It does not matter if it was planned from the outside. What is important is that the results that others aspired to have been achieved, and what is worse is that we are still transmitting those results with us to modern generations.” And the new countries in which we are resettling.” The most important obstacle facing the new generations of our people is that we do not even have a local political region / province of our own, neither in our historical land, nor even in the countries of our foreignness, which deepens the national cultural gap between our people.. Because this will necessarily provide a number of governmental institutions in which our language can be modernized and placed within its contemporary evolutionary framework, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of generations that use our language officially... But the problem with this is that the only person who thought and sought in this direction was the saint and martyr Mar Ishai Shimon. However, for purely political reasons, none of our political parties, groups, or even intellectuals adopted this idea after the assassination of Mar Ishai Shimon. Rather, all of our organizations and parties are still revolving in the same vicious circle in seeking only to obtain positions within the governments on whose territories they exist, which means that they are all... work not for our national cause, but for their narrow, selfish personal interests, exerting all their efforts to please those governments and not to push for us to obtain complete or even partial sovereignty..

Assyria forever

Love To Assyrians

GOD Bless You

Khaya ganakh!

Bravo we're proud of you

Sargon II, followed by Sennacherib, who was the founders of what would become the Neo-Assyrian Empire, certainly considered themselves to be descended from the great Akkadian Empire, naming himself after Sargon of Akkad who ruled over a thousand years earlier. His empire is thought to have included most of Mesopotamia, parts of the Levant, and incursions into Hurrian and Elamite territory, ruling from his (archaeologically as yet unidentified) capital, Akkad. Sargon appears as a legendary figure in Neo-Assyrian literature of the 8th to 7th centuries BC. Tablets with fragments of a Sargon Birth Legend were found in the Library of Ashurbanipal.

Thank you khayee!

much love and respect from india, come what may, assyrians yazidis kurds will get a homeland one day,

WHAO, a correction is warranted here. There are five (5) million Assyrians total ? The Chaldean population in Iraq and abroad are estimated to be 400k at a minimum (worldwide) and a maximum of 650k but not likely, most agree it’s 500 - 550k worldwide. The Chaldean to Assyrian ratio is Chaldeans are 8 or 9 : 1 Assyrian, so the 5M number needs to be updated.

God Bless every assyrian!

❤❤❤

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well presented. Sad of the process of persecution suffered Read about the true great Assyrian Empire and ironical that so few left in the modern world.

❤👏

All the while I thought Assyrians were an extinct group of people. Once a very powerful nation as told in the Bible.

🙏

Assryian in 1916 fleed to Russia when the were also prosecuted because they are Christians. There are about 20000 assryian that live in Russia today.

What brought me here is in the Bible says as in the days of Noe before the 2nd coming of the Son of Man, everyone saying it's is as in the days of Noah, not true, Strongs concordance Noe means Providence of Assyria, thank you for your info about your wonderful family

I’m Assyrian from Turkey. The Assyrians were never promised land it was the Kurds who were promised. The Kurds saw this an opportunity to wipe out all the Assyrians so that South East Turkey could be theirs. At this time the Ottoman Empire was collapsing and First World War broke out. Turkey was attacked from different angles and many western countries wanted a peace of Turkey. This was an very unfortunate event that lead to the massacre of the Assyrians. But the Assyrians always wanted to live in peace. Get your facts right.

😢😢😢😢 this made me cry wow lol 😂

The Kurds want their land. The assyrians want theirs. The Muslim world in the region is full of war. You pretty much want to reestablish the conquering empire of assyria but I don't think it will be possible anytime soon. The kurds managed to get their bit somehow though so let's see

The vast majority of Biblical scholars disagree "the original Bible was written in Aramaic". The Old Testament was written in Hebew and the New Testament was written almost entirely in Greek. This is the scholarly consensus.

Aasura vs devas

The God is Ashur the Land is Ashur the people are Ashur the language is Ashur****Greater

Many moden arameans claims that the assyrians people are extinct and that syrians are only arameans

True land of Assyria is on North American continent

if u came from a assyrian descendant from the Babylonian assyrians then so did the assyrians whos parents r from the Middle East but does that Mean u speak ancient Aramaic

*The Armenians are trying to use us Assyrians in the issue of genocide against Turkey, but at the same time, the Armenians are flirting with the Kurds against the Assyrians.*

I love the Assyrians as well. Greetings from Kurdistan.
