Fadhil Qaradaghi

Ancient History of Kurdistan Fadhil Qaradaghi

Critique of a book in Arabic about ancient history of Kurdistan written by a Kurdish scholar. The book is full of plagiarism and errors that no one having moderate information about that history would fall in. The scholar, because not specialized in archaeology and ancient history of Mesopotamia, proves that he even doesn't know what he has written. He listed hundreds of sources, but the critique shows that he just made use of a few books (one of which Herzfeld's book; The Persian Empire) and copied the references to the other sources from them.
This critique was first published in 2005 in Kurdish.
