BlackSmith Kawa & Newroz
Version 3
According to another Kawa legend, 2500-2600 years ago there was a blacksmith named Kawa, who lived under a very, very cruel king of Assyrians named Zuhak (Dehak according to some sources).
This king was a monster and, according to legend, had a snake on both shoulders. In order to feed these two snakes, he brought two children from the public to his palace as a sacrifice and gave his chefs the brains of these two children as food to their snakes. At the same time, this monster king was preventing spring from coming.
Tired of this persecution and finally wanting to do something, two people, Armayel and Garmayel, enter the king's palace as a cook, taking their brains to feed the King's snakes, killing only one of the children killed and helping the other secretly escape from the palace.
Thus, they mix a human brain with the brain of a sheep that they slaughter and give it to the snakes, ensuring that a child is saved every day. It is believed that these fleeers were the ancestors of the Kurds. The escaped children are secretly trained by the blacksmith named Kawa and turned into an army. This army, led by Kawa, marches to the cruel king's palace on March 20, and Kawa manages to kill the king with hammer blows.
Blacksmith Kawa burns fires on all the hills and celebrates this victory with his fellow men. Thus, the Kurdish people will be freed from the cruel king and the next day comes spring. Every year after this day, 21 March starts to be celebrated as Newroz
