1. I would basically agree with the assertion that the Parthians were basically the ancestors of the Kurds. Certainly the Parthians were closer to today's Kurds than today's "Persians".
Utterly false! Parthians hardly have any connection with the Kurds at all.
You do realize that during antiquity, three Aryan races stormed areas around Mesopotamia; Medes, Parthians and Persians.
The Medes, got mixed with the original inhabitants of the area, with the most important being the Hurrians, the original ancestors of Kurds, and added one more layer to the genetic make-up of the Kurds. Hence we can say that Kurds have a Hurro-Median origin.
Parthians on the other hand established their own empire which lasted up until 224 A.D and was then succeeded by the Sassanid Empire, a Persian one. Therefore we can conclude that Parthians and Persians have become mixed into present-day Persians whilst Kurds are distant from them by being the descendants of the Medes and the Hurrians.
