[20:02]Speaker 2: This is the carving of... Zayd is from here.

[20:04]Speaker 2: Just the... The Assyrians brought this water down.

[20:07]Speaker 2: It is a basin, Zayd's carving is also here.

[20:09]Speaker 1: Is there a Peacock carving here? Peacock carving?

[20:11]Speaker 2: Faces... and Zayd...

[20:13]Speaker 2: You see, like a cross, meaning it is Zayd.

[20:15]Speaker 2: They are Kurdish carvings, they are distinct.

[20:16]Speaker 1: Is the Peacock here? Peacock carving?

[20:19]Speaker 2: There is no Peacock carving here.

[20:21]Speaker 2: No, if you go to our village Sherawa... the Peacock is there.

[20:24]Speaker 1: Not here?

[20:25]Speaker 2: Not here, the carving of the monument has not come to us here.

[21:30]Speaker 1: Where is it? Show us.

[21:32]Speaker 2: Please, go ahead.

[21:34]Speaker 2: Please, go inside.

[21:38]Speaker 1: So?

[21:39]Speaker 2: This is the cave with the press inside, this is it.

[21:42]Speaker 1: So, is this a press?

[21:43]Speaker 2: Yes.

[21:44]Speaker 1: This... friend Sherif... this press you spoke about...

[21:47]Speaker 2: There are two, as we said two... there are two, inside the cave, this same press exists.

[21:52]Speaker 2: There is another one too, maybe that cave wasn't empty, they worked on it.

[21:55]Speaker 2: And this is it.

[21:56]Speaker 2: Meaning this is it... we don't know if it's for olives or grapes, we don't know.

[22:00]Speaker 1: So was this also made during the time of the castle?

[22:02]Speaker 2: Yes, this is all one, the history is one.

[22:05]Speaker 2: This history... the generation of Assyrian history, this was dug, and this was built.

[22:10]Speaker 2: And there are many things, meaning we don't know...

[22:13]Speaker 2: Meaning because of the rotting... from the decay, like this carving here, look.

[22:17]Speaker 1: What is that?

[22:18]Speaker 2: That is like a window.

[22:20]Speaker 1: That is also like a window, we don't know that either...

[22:22]Speaker 2: There are many here too, look, there are some here too.

[22:24]Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.

[22:26]Speaker 2: Meaning... there are some, just in this same cave, friend Sherif...

[22:30]Speaker 2: Each wall has two graves, or three inside. They dug them into the wall.

[22:35]Speaker 2: There are also headstones.

[22:37]Speaker 1: So those graves are also inside the cave?

[22:39]Speaker 2: Yes, graves are inside too. When someone died... passed away, they put them in...

[22:42]Speaker 2: Yes, like that... the same people who built this, surely these are their graves.

[22:47]Speaker 1: So, this niche, is this also a cave?

[22:49]Speaker 2: Yes, this is also a cave.

[22:50]Speaker 1: What is inside here?

[22:51]Speaker 2: Look, there is nothing inside, it is empty.

[22:53]Speaker 1: Is it empty?

[22:54]Speaker 2: Yes, it is empty, maybe it is a place for sitting.

[22:56]Speaker 2: Because there is work here too.

[22:57]Speaker 1: Because there is work here too.

[22:58]Speaker 1: So, the caves of the village, how many caves were there in total?

[23:01]Speaker 2: By God, the village caves... sixteen, maybe sixteen, seventeen.

[23:07]Speaker 2: Meaning there are seventeen caves in the village.

[23:09]Speaker 1: Are they all like this, clean like this...?

[23:12]Speaker 2: There are cleaner ones than this, look... as we said this is a press, there are two like this that are presses.

[23:17]Speaker 2: The rest were all caves, for living.

[23:19]Speaker 2: Meaning...

[23:20]Speaker 1: They used them as houses before?

[23:21]Speaker 2: Before... yes... before, the people here, initially when they came here...

[23:26]Speaker 2: There were no houses around... they kept their animals, and they themselves lived inside.

[23:31]Speaker 2: Yes, themselves in the caves...

[23:32]Speaker 1: Then, does anyone live in the caves now?

[23:34]Speaker 2: No one lives [there], before this there were sheep, they kept sheep, they put straw...

[23:39]Speaker 2: Sheep... meaning they kept animals, even now all... they mostly quit, few remain.

[23:45]Speaker 2: People built houses, meaning mostly, they have houses... their animals, their straw, their fodder, their things...

[23:53]Speaker 2: All inside the house, they built houses.

[23:56]Speaker 1: How many cisterns are there?

[23:58]Speaker 2: There are cisterns, all... dug for water, put in the ground, they are like water reservoirs as we say.

[24:04]Speaker 2: Maybe there are nine, ten, eleven.

[24:07]Speaker 1: Like these we saw or different from them?

[24:09]Speaker 2: No, they are different, look, each cistern... is there water in it?

[24:12]Speaker 2: Yes. No, many exist, they are full, maybe some are empty, meaning void.

[24:16]Speaker 2: Those are, four meters by four... three by three... meaning the height is also three meters, four meters.

[24:22]Speaker 1: Meaning their history is also with the castle?

[24:24]Speaker 2: Yes, that history is also with the castle. This is all ancient history.

[24:27]Speaker 2: All, all, the same person, built these caves, and... dug the cisterns.

[24:31]Speaker 2: Meaning before this, wells hadn't been dug, meaning captured water, they dug these same things, and stored their water.

[24:36]Speaker 1: Do you still use those cisterns until now?

[24:38]Speaker 2: By God, currently no. Not now, but until before this, yes.

[24:41]Speaker 2: No, then, then came the wells and artesian wells...

[24:44]Speaker 2: You dug in your own yard and became comfortable.

[24:47]Speaker 1: I thank you very much, would you like to add anything else, is there anything else?

[24:49]Speaker 2: No there were, there were, things you saw, if they are in the cave. Ready, we have them now.

[24:57]Speaker 1: There were?

[24:58]Speaker 2: There were.

[24:59]Speaker 1: We thank you.

[25:00]Speaker 2: May your home be prosperous.

[25:01]Speaker 1: Thanks, welcome.

[25:02]Speaker 2: You are welcome, upon my eyes.

[31:38]Woman: Welcome.

[31:39]Host: How are you, are you well?

[31:40]Woman: Come here, are you well?

[31:43]Host: Which village are you from yourself?

[31:45]Woman: From Birç Hêderê.

[31:46]Host: From Birç Hêderê? Are you a bride of this village?

[31:49]Host: What do you do, tell us a little bit about your life.

[31:52]Woman: I was made a bride. They fought over us.

[31:56]Woman: They filed lawsuits over us. They destroyed the world.

[31:59]Woman: Anyhow I was brought to this village, and I came, became a bride of this village.

[32:04]Woman: We had sheep, we had cows, we went to do chores, we did it all.

[32:09]Woman: I went into the howdah [camel carriage], when sleeping, they brought a pair of camels.

[32:13]Host: Did they give you camels, did we make you sleep in them?

[32:16]Woman: We slept in them, the camels were there.

[32:20]Woman: My belongings, they tied the ankles.

[32:22]Host: So you fell into a cave?

[32:23]Woman: No, by God, it was a howdah.

[32:25]Host: A howdah?

[32:26]Woman: My bedding was in it, chests were in it, all my trousseau items were in it.

[32:30]Host: So they placed them with you?

[32:32]Woman: And they brought camels, my father was on the East Side and I was on the West Side.

[32:35]Host: Was there no place for camels, no place for camels inside?

[32:38]Woman: Oh now, indeed many didn't go, the camels were tall.

[32:41]Host: Is it difficult, the cave in your village, but you fell into the cave?

[32:43]Woman: The camels are old [tradition]... they made a howdah from the cave/rock, I was inside.

[32:47]Woman: They put me in the howdah, my children's father went to Cem Pês, and I remained in that howdah.

[32:53]Woman: We made a howdah, I came and fell [in/down].

[32:55]Woman: They put cows near the camels, our cows burned in there.

[32:58]Woman: The cows burned in there, and we were left with these cows, our pair [of oxen] died, we bought cows.

[33:04]Woman: They brought me, I came, then my children were born, I came and we worked, we milked sheep, we milked cows, we worked.

[33:10]Woman: And well, our child was born, we milked sheep, we struggled through the world until now.

[33:14]Host: How many children do you have?

[33:16]Woman: Children... I brought forth three children.

[33:18]Host: Mashallah, may God preserve them.

[33:19]Woman: And those and her little ones... three died.

[33:22]Woman: And I have a daughter, she is paralyzed on the ground.

[33:25]Woman: And... and my children, each one went to a strange place, they are not with me anymore.

[33:31]Host: Did you marry them off?

[33:33]Woman: We married them off, they went.

[33:35]Woman: Some went to Turkey, two went to Lebanon.

[33:39]Woman: And some are in Aleppo, ah, one remained with me.

[33:42]Woman: By God.

[33:43]Host: Mother, you mentioned just now, you said when they made you a bride, they filed a lawsuit.

[33:47]Host: Why?

[33:48]Woman: It became a mess. My cousins blocked the road, they said we won't give [her] to this village. We won't give to the Tower of Suleiman [village name].

[33:55]Host: Were your cousins holding a grudge [claiming rights]?

[33:57]Woman: Ha, aren't your cousins holding a grudge?

[33:59]Woman: My cousins were holding a grudge, they said we won't give to this village.

[34:04]Host: Why?

[34:05]Woman: They blocked my way. In the past, people used to give their female cousins... to strangers.

[34:10]Host: They wouldn't give them.

[34:11]Woman: They wouldn't give. They said we won't give to this village.

[34:14]Host: When they made you a bride, did they ask you, saying are you agreed, not agreed, we are giving you away, did they ask?

[34:20]Woman: My father said I won't give to my cousins, he said each one gave a daughter for free.

[34:25]Woman: He gave to his brother's son's house out of spite... he said to me concerning the children regarding the exchange (berdel)...

[34:31]Woman: He said concerning mine, I will give a dowry of two thousand.

[34:33]Host: So did they consult you?

[34:35]Woman: They said... When I was asked for this village, I didn't know them. We didn't date before.

[34:41]Host: You didn't love him?

[34:42]Woman: No, by God, I didn't love him!

[34:46]Woman: We didn't love that night, but we took each other.

[34:48]Host: I know.

[34:49]Host: So before, girls... when they married, they weren't asked.

[34:54]Woman: They weren't asked, she would be shy. She wouldn't make a sound.

[34:58]Host: That's not good, is it?

[34:59]Woman: Back then we were shy, I didn't go to my trousseau.

[35:03]Host: Where did the village take the trousseau?

[35:05]Woman: They went to Aleppo for the trousseau.

[35:07]Woman: My father and mother went, and I didn't go.

[35:10]Woman: Oh if I went... did they have Arab cars/machines back then?

[35:13]Woman: Yes, machines existed. The suction/pump machine existed, it came and took the whole village.

[35:18]Host: When you were made a bride, did they bring you by horse?

[35:20]Woman: I was brought by horse, by God.

[35:22]Woman: I was brought by horse, they fought over us, filed lawsuits, and threw mud on us, I didn't even see where I came from.

[35:30]Woman: Honestly, by God.

[35:31]Woman: I didn't see where I came to, the Tower of Suleiman.

[35:35]Host: Those days were good, but now?

[35:37]Woman: I know... by God, no day was good for me.

[35:41]Woman: I came, no one was in this village.

[35:43]Woman: My uncle and aunt were there, and we were three sisters-in-law, that's it.

[35:49]Host: Was the village small back then?

[35:51]Woman: Yes, the village was tiny, no one was in it.

[35:53]Woman: Then buildings were made later, and brides were brought, and children were born, and the village became big.

[35:59]Host: Did the Tower of Suleiman exist before?

[36:01]Woman: Was it not there?

[36:02]Host: Thanks mother, health to you.

[36:04]Woman: May your coming be happy too.

[36:05]Host: Yes, thanks.

[36:07]Host: Your story was very nice.

[36:09]Woman: What else?

[36:11]Host: Come to the spindle mother.

[36:14]Host: Please.

[36:15]Woman 2: [Unclear] in front of us the cows.

[36:17]Host: What do you do in the village?

[36:20]Woman 2: Welcome, you came upon our heads and eyes [You are very welcome].

[36:24]Host: Be healthy, mother.

[36:25]Woman 2: We... meaning the name... we remove the "navkar" [fix the navel/healing].

[36:30]Host: Do you do it for illness?

[36:31]Woman 2: Yes, meaning illness. If a head is dizzy, confused... their stomach is not comfortable, I lift the navel for them [traditional healing].

[36:39]Woman 2: Meaning I lift something, I take it out.

[36:41]Woman 2: If I lift a heavy load, it happens.

[36:44]Woman 2: And then...

[36:45]Woman 2: When women come to me...

[36:48]Woman 2: When women come to me, I massage them completely here.

[36:53]Woman 2: So their children... meaning so they can have children.

[36:56]Woman 2: Before, I went to mothers, I learned midwifery.

[37:01]Host: Who did you learn from?

[37:02]Woman 2: A midwife... no, I went to a Bedouin woman.

[37:06]Woman 2: There, that woman... I didn't have children, she massaged my stomach, fixed it.

[37:12]Woman 2: I learned from her, women came to me and did that.

[37:16]Woman 2: If God gives, He gives the cure. If He doesn't give... it is God's work.

[37:20]Host: So people come to you?

[37:21]Woman 2: Yes, they come.

[37:22]Woman 2: They come from Kobane, from Birçka Terpê, wherever they want, I go.

[37:29]Host: Thanks. Let's ask mother something too.

[37:32]Host: Just...

[37:33]Woman 3: I came a bit late.

[37:35]Host: Welcome, mother.

[37:36]Woman 3: Welcome, to the honorable friend.

[37:40]Host: Be healthy.

[37:41]Woman 3: You came upon our heads and upon my eyes.

[37:43]Woman 3: We are sitting in the Tower of Suleiman.

[37:45]Woman 3: Today, our friends have come.

[37:48]Host: Are you yourself from the village of Birçk?

[37:49]Woman 3: I am myself from the village of Birçk.

[37:50]Host: Are you from this village?

[37:51]Woman 3: Yes.

[37:52]Woman 3: I was given to the house... they weren't my cousins... my father was still there.

[37:57]Woman 3: I was asked for, they stood up and asked for my hand from a stranger... a woman.

[38:02]Woman 3: They stood up and ruined it, they didn't let my hand be taken.

[38:05]Woman 3: They took [me] instead.

[38:06]Woman 3: Meaning when I was asked, I was still small/young.

[38:08]Host: How old were you?

[38:09]Woman 3: I was about seven or eight years old.

[38:11]Woman 3: They stood up and gave us... it was our cousin.

[38:14]Woman 3: I was made a bride, put on a horse.

[38:17]Woman 3: Sent off like that, onto the back of a stranger...

[38:20]Host: Did they take you far, or not far?

[38:21]Woman 3: Not far, but put on a horse.

[38:23]Woman 3: And there were many people with drums, it was like that, lots of people.

[38:27]Woman 3: And food was placed at the house, the bride was placed, things were made.

[38:32]Woman 3: And meaning it was good, they made a nice wedding.

[38:35]Host: Were they nicer than the weddings now?

[38:37]Woman 3: By God it was nice. They made nice weddings.

[38:39]Woman 3: It was nice, by God. Weddings now are nice too, but past weddings were by daylight, outside.

[38:44]Woman 3: People stayed in those houses, were invited, they gave food.

[38:47]Woman 3: Meaning they were nice.

[38:48]Woman 3: Again, praise be to God, if they are happy, our community.

[38:52]Woman 3: Upon our heads and upon our eyes, and may you be healthy.

[38:55]Host: May you be healthy, mother.

[38:56]Woman 3: I was very happy we met you.

[43:03]Host: Hello Uncle Mihemed.

[43:04]Guest: Hello, welcome, upon my eyes.

[43:06]Host: May you be healthy, may your eyes not hurt. Today we are in your village, we wanted to get to know Birca Silêman [Silêman's Tower].

[43:12]Guest: We were eagerly wishing you would come one day soon, but we also came.

[43:16]Guest: You came upon our heads and upon our eyes. Your arrival is very joyous.

[43:19]Host: May you be healthy.

[43:20]Guest: Our greetings to... our greetings to you, to however many workers... who work in the daily operations, we have greetings for all of them. We are very happy with your arrival.

[43:30]Host: May you be healthy.

[43:31]Guest: Praise be to God for this situation.

[43:33]Host: Be healthy. Uncle Mihemed, let's talk a little about your village. No one until now has asked about the history of your village. Like us, no one had visited your village one day.

[43:45]Host: Before our program, we visit villages. We want to ask about the name of your village first. Where does the name of your village, Birca Silêman, come from?

[43:57]Guest: Well, it comes from Silêman... He was Silêman, the son of Şêrqî. When they hadn't come to settle in the village [yet]...

[44:06]Guest: Uh, this name, by the name of Silêman... and it was known as the Tower. Silêman's Tower [Birca Silêman].

[44:10]Host: Meaning, there are many villages with "tower" [Birc] in the name in all... in the Şêrawa region?

[44:15]Guest: This is one of them, meaning this tower is this one.

[44:18]Host: Is that so?

[44:19]Host: Is this the tower?

[44:20]Guest: Initially it was known by the name of Silêman. Was that Silêman your elder?

[44:24]Guest: Yes. He was my father's grandfather.

[44:26]Host: He became known in the community... they said Silêman.

[44:28]Guest: Yes.

[44:29]Host: Now, many of your villages have "tower" [Birc] around here. There is Birc Qas.

[44:34]Guest: Yes.

[44:35]Host: There is Birc Ebdela [Abdullah's Tower]. And there is Birca Silêman. There are four villages named "Tower"?

[44:39]Guest: Four.

[44:40]Host: Uh, and there are other villages known by the name "Bêt" [House].

[44:43]Guest: Yes.

[44:44]Host: Meaning like; Basilê... Basûtê... Basûfanê...

[44:51]Host: Maybe there was a village name from there too, what was it?

[44:53]Guest: Bazêr.

[44:54]Host: Bazêr. Meaning that is also "Wind of Gold" [Bayê Zêr]. Meaning many villages of Şêrawa also with... maybe the wind/air here is different, right?

[44:59]Guest: Yes.

[45:00]Host: It has good air.

[45:01]Guest: Yes.

[45:02]Host: Uncle Mihemed, I wonder, what is the age of your village, how many years have you been here?

[45:06]Guest: The village... that has been known by the name of Silêman, is near three hundred years old.

[45:10]Host: Three hundred years?

[45:11]Guest: Yes.

[45:13]Host: Meaning, how many households is the village comprised of? Do you know how many households it was [originally]?

[45:17]Guest: Well, I know... possibly, either three hundred, or less, like that.

[45:22]Guest: From around three hundred years, because our grandfather Elo... and my father's grandfather Elo... and our father Elo, they were around, their age had reached eighty years.

[45:37]Guest: Meaning... and the house of Silêman... they had died out/become empty.

[45:41]Host: You said something, I don't know, I know...

[45:43]Guest: Go ahead.

[45:44]Host: Who remained? From the miracle...

[45:46]Guest: My father's name was Şerqo. My uncle's name was Elo.

[45:50]Guest: Elo and Şerqo are cousins. One is from Mihemed [son] of Silêman, one is from Ehmed [son] of Silêman.

[45:56]Guest: Ehmed... of Silêman. Şerqo is the son of Ehmed. Elo is the son of Mihemed. They are like the children of Silêman.

[46:04]Guest: Ehmed and Mihemed are brothers, children of Silêman, son of Şêrqî.

[46:08]Guest: Uh, the village died [became empty]. Who remained? My father remained, his age was four years. My uncle remained, his age was eight years. They were cousins.

[46:18]Guest: A woman from the house of Silêman, a co-wife had married, they called her Zêneb of Silêman.

[46:23]Guest: One of her co-wives... was taken away, her name was Şem.

[46:27]Guest: When those orphans remained, the village remained empty, remained void.

[46:31]Guest: She stood up and brought that woman, they came and took her to themselves. One was herding sheep, one was plowing.

[46:37]Guest: They grew up... then one gave his daughter to him, and one gave the daughter... of his partner to him. Gave the daughter... of his brother-in-law.

[46:55]Guest: They had their sheep, they had their things. They had everything of theirs. This container/place had remained empty, remained void.

[47:02]Guest: Meaning, their recovery happened, they were inclined, like on the path they stood up, then on Saturday [Şemiyê] she held her hand over them.

[47:10]Guest: When they married them off, they brought them and said "go to your dwelling".

[47:13]Guest: And they came and entered their dwelling... and lived like that.

[47:16]Host: Meaning, did your people live in caves before? There are many caves in your village.

[47:20]Guest: Uh, by God, the house of Silêman, possibly didn't enter the caves early on.

[47:23]Guest: They made shelters opposite the village... before in the shelters as sleeping spots, they didn't enter caves very early, they didn't need caves.

[47:31]Host: Later did they enter the caves quickly?

[47:33]Guest: Meaning before this, the village was populated but they were in another place?

[47:35]Guest: But they were "Megal Tambûrî" [possibly a specific tribe or group name].

[47:37]Host: Where were they?

[47:39]Guest: It falls towards the eastern side. Past the place of our narrow pass. Meaning not from here to there, there are ten kilometers.

[47:48]Guest: Then they come, the co-wives settle down.

[47:50]Guest: After that, moving to this village, it was empty.

[47:54]Guest: Friend, this village had remained empty.

[47:55]Host: Now, which villages are relatives with your village, are neighbors?

[47:58]Guest: Usually on the... in the tribe, there is no one, we don't have relatives.

[48:02]Host: Which tribe are you from?

[48:03]Guest: We are from the tribe of Dewrêşê Ebdî.

[48:05]Host: Are you from the tribe of Dewrêşê Ebdî?

[48:07]Guest: Yes.

[48:08]Host: Meaning your entire village is known by the name of one family.

[48:11]Guest: Yes, the house of Silêman.

[48:12]Host: The house of Silêman. Meaning, young and old, you say "we are from the house of Silêman".

[48:15]Guest: All. All people, our villagers, their surname/identity, is House of Silêman.

[48:21]Host: By his name, Silêman.

[48:22]Host: Now Uncle Mihemed, let's talk about the houses. How many houses are there in the village?

[48:26]Guest: Did I say there are forty houses?

[48:28]Host: Were there forty?

[48:29]Guest: I said there are forty houses. But the houses of the Silêman family are all there if they are settled in them.

[48:34]Host: Which one is it?

[48:34]Guest: These houses here.

[48:35]Host: Yes, this one.

[48:36]Host: Meaning during the revolution too, in the revolution of Rojava Kurdistan, many attacks came upon you.

[48:42]Guest: Uh, by God, attacks came upon us, but they didn't enter the villages. But after us, they didn't enter the village.

[48:49]Guest: Here, you inside until now, meaning you are here today, didn't you hear the sound of cannons and things?

[48:54]Guest: Yes, until now the sound comes. And between us and them, there are a hundred and fifty meters. Meaning if we call out to each other, our voices reach each other.

[49:03]Host: Now those people, are they people of this... this region? Are they from here?

[49:07]Guest: No, Daesh, foreigners. There were many foreigners.

[49:10]Host: Were they foreigners from outside?

[49:11]Guest: Yes, foreigners.

[49:12]Host: But now?

[49:13]Guest: Uh, now they said Jabhat al-Nusra is around us...

[49:16]Host: Who are those people?

[49:17]Guest: They are mostly Syrians.

[49:18]Host: Did you know these people before?

[49:20]Guest: By God, we knew some of them by name. And they came to be killed.

[49:24]Host: We thank you. May God not give you lack/loss.

[49:26]Guest: May you be healthy. And may God increase your situation/status, and may God keep you for us.

[49:31]Host: Be healthy. Many thanks.

[49:33]Guest: Upon my eyes [You're welcome].
