[14:11]Voiceover: The village of Maseka is one of the villages in the Rajo district of the Afrin canton.

[14:15]Voiceover: And it is located to the north of the district center.

[14:18]Voiceover: The exact era of the village's founding is not known.

[14:21]Voiceover: But it is said that it was founded nearly four hundred years ago.

[14:26]Voiceover: The citizens of the village stated that nearly three hundred years ago, all the inhabitants of the village migrated due to a devastating illness.

[14:36]Voiceover: And after a while, they returned to their village anew.

[14:39]Voiceover: After the Rojava revolution, and due to the crisis in Syria, the majority of the citizens who had migrated from the village to the large cities of Syria returned and revived their village anew.

[14:50]Voiceover: Currently, more than three hundred families live in the village.

[14:54]Voiceover: The village of Maseka, like the majority of the villages in the Rajo district, is known for its black stones which are rich in iron minerals.

[15:25]Host: Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Maseka, they also mentioned the "Coughing Stone" (Kevirê Kuxikê).

[15:30]Host: We were also curious to pass by the stone, to see this stone.

[15:34]Host: They call it the Coughing Stone. The mother and I passed by, and we said we would ask about the history of this stone.

[15:41]Host: Hello to you.

[15:42]Mother: Welcome.

[15:43]Host: Mother, tell us, you said the Coughing Stone?

[15:46]Mother: Yes.

[15:46]Host: We were curious too, we came to this slope in this heat.

[15:49]Mother: Welcome. Upon our heads, upon our eyes (You are very welcome).

[15:53]Mother: Our grandmother used to say... meaning, the cough effects the child.

[15:58]Host: Did they pass them through the opening?

[16:00]Mother: We wouldn't look back... neither from this side nor that side. Early morning, before the sun [rises].

[16:06]Host: So when a child gets sick, catches a cold, gets sick, gets a cough.

[16:10]Host: When you brought the child here, what did you do?

[16:12]Mother: We passed them underneath it, meaning so their cough would heal.

[16:15]Host: You passed them underneath?

[16:16]Mother: Yes.

[16:16]Host: And how did you pass them through?

[16:18]Mother: One person was on this side, one person was on that side. We passed them underneath, and we didn't look back, before the sun [rose].

[16:25]Host: What if it was evening?

[16:26]Mother: No, evening doesn't work.

[16:27]Host: If it was evening, [or] if it was morning?

[16:29]Mother: We would come without looking back, and when we left, we continued [without looking back].

[16:32]Host: And how many times did you pass the child underneath?

[16:34]Mother: Well, some would heal [after one time], and for some, we came three times.

[16:38]Host: No, did you pass the child underneath only once?

[16:40]Mother: No, three times (transfers).

[16:41]Host: Three times?

[16:42]Mother: We handed [the child] to each other, three times we passed them underneath.

[16:45]Host: What did you say when you passed the child through, did you say anything?

[16:47]Mother: We said "God make this the cause [of cure]", we called upon God.

[16:50]Mother: We said "God make this the cause, and remove the cough."

[16:53]Mother: There were times, meaning we went, and they healed completely. There were times we came again.

[16:59]Host: And you passed them through and they healed, Praise be to God?

[17:02]Mother: Yes.

[17:03]Host: So, keep the faith, that is it, a person has conviction, puts their faith in it, then they heal.

[17:08]Mother: Yes, conviction. It depends on conviction. If you don't have conviction, meaning wherever you go, conviction [healing] won't happen.

[17:13]Mother: It must happen with one's conviction.

[17:15]Host: And in the village... Do you have children, did you bring your children here?

[17:19]Mother: Three times like that [for mine], and I brought my daughter-in-law's two or three times.

[17:23]Host: Is it Neshme?

[17:24]Mother: No. I didn't bring my daughter-in-law's. When we had little ones, we brought them. While our grandmother was alive (well), she would say "come with me".

[17:31]Mother: We brought them, my grandmother came, and when we left, we continued [without looking back].

[17:34]Mother: We did that, and they healed. And others besides us brought them and passed them underneath. God made it a guide [cure].

[17:37]Host: Did you also bring yours to the mother [stone]? Your children?

[17:39]Woman 2: Well, I am not from this village, I came later.

[17:42]Woman 2: My daughter's back was hurting [coughing], so I brought my little one here.

[17:46]Host: So this is also a belief, right?

[17:47]Woman 2: It is a belief, yes. I mean, I didn't know either, [I am] a predecessor/newcomer, I didn't know. Then we heard.

[17:54]Woman 2: And our little one grew up after that.

[17:56]Host: May God keep them all.

[17:57]Woman 2: Be healthy, thank you.

[17:58]Host: Thanks.

[17:59]Host: And...

[18:01]Host: You also said, what is this tree? Did you mention the tree too?

[18:03]Woman 2: That one too, they tie rags to it. Meaning so that... so that they heal/it happens.

[18:08]Host: Aaa.

[18:09]Woman 2: Those are pieces of rags/cloth.

[18:11]Host: Is this the Tree of Wishes too?

[18:21]Mother: May God keep you, you are welcome.

[18:22]Host: Thank you to you.

[18:35]Voiceover: In the village, there is also a large rock with a hole.

[18:40]Voiceover: The inhabitants of the village call it the Coughing Stone.

[18:43]Voiceover: In ancient times, because doctors were not found in the region, the villagers placed a lot of their beliefs in this stone.

[18:52]Voiceover: And to protect their children from illnesses like the cough, they passed their children through the hole of the stone three times at dawn.

[19:02]Voiceover: And without looking behind them, they returned to their homes.

[19:08]Voiceover: Beside the same stone, there is an oak tree. It is called the Tree of Wishes.

[19:14]Voiceover: And a person who wants a wish, ties a rag to the tree.

[19:49]Host: Yes, dear viewers, we left the village, we headed towards the well.

[19:54]Host: There is a well here, and this well is between two villages.

[19:57]Host: The village of Maseka and the village of Memala.

[20:00]Host: All the villagers came along with us, we thank them. Once again, in this heat, in this difficulty, they came along with us.

[20:08]Host: We will now ask about the history of this well.

[20:10]Host: Hello Jwara.

[20:11]Jwara: Hello, welcome to your arrival, to the program Soil and Country, and the Rûdaw camera, and let's say the country, and let's say Kurds and Kurdistan.

[20:22]Host: Thank you. Dear uncle, we have now come upon this well, you mentioned the well, and we said we would come to the well. This well, from how many years ago [does it date back]?

[20:30]Jwara: By God, the well is from [ancient] times, its date is not known.

[20:34]Jwara: Since ancient times, during the Ottomans we know it existed. Our fathers and grandfathers also gave us information.

[20:40]Jwara: The name of this well is called the Well of Barcûq. Barcûq, we call it Barcûq now. Its origin is "Pareçûq", in Turkish, meaning "Perepir" (Much Money).

[20:48]Jwara: The name of this town was called Barcûq. It used to be a city, not just houses. It was a city, it was big. Even now its traces remain.

[20:57]Jwara: Mosques they built are there, water jars are there, jars where they stored grain are there.

[21:03]Host: Where?

[21:04]Jwara: Right here, among the tombs, the place of the graves, all these things existed.

[21:09]Host: Now, it is a graveyard, all of this here is a graveyard.

[21:11]Jwara: It is a graveyard.

[21:12]Host: Now is this graveyard yours, or are there others here too?

[21:15]Jwara: It belongs to [the villages of] Maseka and Mamola.

[21:17]Host: So the well belongs to two villages?

[21:19]Jwara: It belongs to two villages.

[21:20]Host: The graveyard is also for two villages?

[21:21]Jwara: For two villages, yes.

[21:22]Host: So now, you said the well is old.

[21:24]Host: Until when did they come to take water from this well?

[21:27]Jwara: Perhaps even until now we... are in need, in current times we come and take it. But we had stopped this.

[21:31]Jwara: There was a time a crisis happened... shortage occurred, drought occurred, we come and take our water from it.

[21:38]Jwara: And we, as they say, release the livestock, cows and things, we manage with it.

[21:43]Host: Now let me ask this friend as well. Now your well... how many meters is this?

[21:47]Villager 2: By God our well... is ten to fifteen meters deep, very deep.

[21:52]Host: So 15 meters?

[21:53]Villager 2: There are 15 meters, yes.

[21:54]Host: Its width?

[21:55]Villager 2: Its width is also below... down there it is built like a tunnel... a man's radius fits inside the build... the water before... they went down and made it... emptied it.

[22:05]Villager 2: Its width is a meter and a half. From bottom to top.

[22:08]Villager 2: It is uniform.

[22:10]Host: Is this water constant?

[22:12]Jwara: It is constant. It has become weak now.

[22:14]Host: It has become weak. Now in the past, did it provide for all of you, did the village utilize it continuously?

[22:18]Jwara: Yes, the herds of two villages, three villages... nearly a hundred, a hundred and fifty cattle we constantly watered there and it didn't run dry.

[22:26]Jwara: And sheep... there were goats in the past, there were no sheep. There were goats.

[22:30]Jwara: Four hundred, five hundred goats drank water there. They came and washed their clothes there, washed their heads there.

[22:35]Host: So where did they wash? Where was the place?

[22:37]Jwara: Troughs.

[22:38]Host: Were there troughs?

[22:39]Jwara: There were troughs right here.

[22:40]Jwara: There were.

[22:41]Jwara: There were two troughs, they were black stone, hollowed out, very deep, they were wide troughs. They put water in the troughs.

[22:48]Host: So where are those troughs now?

[22:49]Jwara: They were broken and gone. There was a platform here. They broke them... just built over it now... put up a wheel and became... they take from it.

[23:00]Host: Until twenty years ago you constantly utilized the water? And now in the village, every house has built a well of their own?

[24:00]Host: And when you came, did only women come to this well? Did men come too?

[24:05]Amina: Men... there were [some], they didn't come. They weren't there and women... it's not far and there was no fear or dread.

[24:11]Host: Because the villages are a little far from each other, was there a difficulty?

[24:13]Amina: No, by God we were not afraid.

[24:14]Host: Not about fear. For the hardship, how you drew the water, how you carried it?

[24:18]Amina: God is the trustee of the world. God willing we will be finished with this hardship. God willing we will be finished.

[34:28]Huseyin: Then he went to their service, worked on the railway, went on the bridge... the bridge guard.

[34:35]Host: Let's get a little from this one too. Hello to you too, uncle.

[34:37]Ahmed: Welcome, hello.

[34:38]Host: What is your name, please?

[34:39]Ahmed: Ahmed.

[34:40]Host: Uncle Ahmed, you said, "I have worked here".

[34:43]Host: How many years did you work here?

[34:46]Ahmed: Twenty-one years and three months.

[34:50]Host: Until when did you work here? How many years has it been since you stopped working?

[34:55]Ahmed: It's nearly twenty-four years, or twenty-five years, that I have retired.

[35:01]Host: And when... this rock/tunnel was dug, who, who worked here?

[35:06]Ahmed: It was our forefathers. Our pickaxe [laborers], as they said.

[35:09]Ahmed: He said, "We were working".

[35:11]Ahmed: Our pickaxe [laborers], not my father, my pickaxe [laborers] said we were working.

[35:17]Host: And in the village of Maseke, did only your grandfather work?

[35:19]Ahmed: Uh, I don't know, he said "I worked". Whether others worked, or didn't work...

[35:25]Ahmed: There... the number was vast, I don't know.

[35:28]Host: Did anyone from your villagers work here?

[35:31]Ahmed: Yes. Some worked.

[35:32]Host: Who were they?

[35:47]Host: Did they pass away too?

[35:48]Ahmed: They all went to [God's] mercy.

[35:50]Host: May God have mercy on them.

[35:51]Ahmed: [May] we [be] alive.

[35:52]Host: So, sir, when this rock was being dug, were they English or were they Germans?

[35:57]Ahmed: They were Germans.

[35:58]Host: They were Germans?

[35:59]Ahmed: Yes.

[36:00]Host: Are you aware of how they pierced that rock?

[36:04]Ahmed: At that time, I used to hear from my grandfather...

[36:08]Ahmed: He said, "They gave us God's salary [sustenance]".

[36:11]Ahmed: He said, "Our salary was good".

[36:14]Host: What was their salary at that time?

[36:16]Ahmed: I don't know. What the money was at that time, I don't know. If it was Mecîdî [Ottoman coin], or what it was, I don't know.

[36:22]Ahmed: At that time the Germans said...

[36:26]Ahmed: "If it doesn't come straight..."

[36:28]Ahmed: The tube is straight...

[36:31]Ahmed: One [group] dug from this side, one [group] dug from that side.

[36:35]Ahmed: A lot of expense went into it.

[36:38]Ahmed: "If it doesn't come straight..."

[36:40]Ahmed: "[Let] the Mauser burn its place [referring to shooting himself]."

[36:43]Ahmed: "If it doesn't come straight."

[36:45]Host: Who said "fire the Mauser at its place [at himself]"?

[36:47]Ahmed: Their engineer.

[36:49]Host: Whose engineer?

[36:50]Ahmed: The Germans'.

[36:51]Host: What was his name?

[36:52]Ahmed: I don't know.

[36:53]Host: Do you remember?

[36:54]Ahmed: No, no, no.

[36:55]Host: Didn't your grandfather tell you?

[36:56]Ahmed: No, he didn't say what his name is.

[36:59]Host: When this rock was pierced, who, who worked here?

[37:05]Ahmed: They were both small [young], our pickaxe [worker] said so. He said, "I worked there".

[37:10]Ahmed: My pickaxe [grandfather/elder], not my father, my pickaxe [grandfather] said "I worked there".

[37:15]Host: And in the village of Maseke, did only your grandfather work?

[37:19]Ahmed: I don't know, he said "I worked". Whether others worked, or didn't work...

[37:23]Ahmed: There... the number was vast, I don't know.

[37:26]Host: Did anyone from your villagers work here?

[37:30]Huseyin: I hadn't heard. I hadn't heard any information about this tunnel.

[37:35]Host: Did your grandfather work here?

[37:37]Ahmed: Yes.

[37:38]Host: And how difficult was it until they pierced that rock, this mountain, how did they do it?

[37:43]Ahmed: It was without worry [meaning: just labor]. It was without worry using dynamite.

[37:48]Ahmed: They hit it with dynamite, they dug.

[37:51]Ahmed: So he said.

[37:53]Ahmed: I didn't reach [that age]... it was with swords [a long time ago/old times].

[38:00]Host: What is there, what knowledge do you have, is there anything you can tell us about this road?

[38:05]Host: You said you worked in it for twenty-one years? What work did you do?

[38:10]Ahmed: I was on the bridge.

[38:11]Host: You were also on the bridge?

[38:12]Ahmed: I was also on the bridge.

[38:13]Host: Is the bridge far from here?

[38:16]Ahmed: It is five kilometers away.

[38:18]Huseyin: No, five kilometers, it is two kilometers.

[38:21]Ahmed: The Ottoman rule was one [unified].

[38:24]Ahmed: When... they drove out the infidels, they spoke, Hitler...

[38:31]Ahmed: The Germans...

[38:33]Ahmed: He said a lot of loss and expense is going into it.

[38:36]Ahmed: Maybe... Hitler said, "Let the Mauser... burn its place".

[38:41]Ahmed: He said "burn it", he said "burn it, there is no loss in it". There is work in it.

[38:45]Voiceover: [Correcting] The straight path.

[38:47]Host: Who said these words?

[38:49]Voiceover: The iron railway of the train that connects Europe and the land of Sham [Levant/Syria]...
