They still can't explain what happened to all of the other peoples who once lived in Mesopotamia. Assyrians weren't the only people there so where are all the others and how come only bet-shlimon and his group survived?

...their equally silly answer is that Babylonians and the rest all became Muslims, so they no longer count...but how they know that is beyond anyone.

...what really sets them to fuming is when you remind them of that they themselves are always saying when talking about how important it is to never forget Aramaic (which they call Assyrian)..."don't lose your language or you'll forget who you are"....and this is precisely the point made by George Roux and a thousand other Assyriologists who never said Assyrians were all wiped out...this what WE say they say, just so we can make fun of them.

Roux said it for all of them and it's in Dr Joseph's book...he said the ancient Assyrians "disappeared" in the sense that their conscious knowledge of who they had been disappeared, not the people themselves down to every last one....no, the genetic material remained and mixed and survived and is all around us today, probably all over the world....he meant they forgot their language when they adopted Aramaic, not overnight but gradually...and with that loss came loss of self-knowledge AS Assyrians.....and this is exactly what our parents and nationalists and priests say over and over, "don't forget the language or you forget who you are"...in other words, you disappear!

When the ruins were uncovered by the Euros beginning in the early 1800s not a single Nestorian knew of them or could read the Akkadian/Assyrian language...not one. It took the same Euros to decipher it and teach it back to US!...at least those few who showed any interest. The only thing the Nestorians knew of the ancients was what everyone knew from reading the Bible, that and no more...we never heard of Gilgamesh or any of the names we now use except those few in the bible....we "forgot"...whoever "we" are today....sure, Assyrian DNA still floats around the universe, but it exists in LOTS of people, not just that Christian tribe who had the wool pulled over their eyes by the Euros, as happened to them so many, many more times since.
