Specifications of the Tree
This tree is the result of 12
years of research and collections of more than 7350 names of
family members inside and outside the Country, and study of old
trees which consisted mostly in several vertical lines with tens
of names of only men? and drawing of a new design able to spread
the information over the limited surface of the tree, as well as
penmanship and painting with oil color. In this tree, the
history of Ardalan family as mentioned in books is painted in
the form of a natural tree and with the beauty of a painting for
installation in house, so that it may attract young people and
show them their background and identity. It has gifted them a
haversack of history.
- The landscape seen as the background of the tree is
Hassan-abad Mountain in Sanandaj on the summit of which there
was Ardalan Fortress sometimes in the past, and at present,
after the elapse of 8 centuries its ruins still demonstrate its
ancient greatness. The location of these ruins on the summit of
this mountain is shown in the tree.
- For the purpose of spreading the names and data over the
surface of the tree (vertically and horizontally), it is drawn
as an old tree with 12 branches.
- Dimensions of the tree: 200 x 115 cm.
- Margins of the tree are divided into the numbers 1,2,3,4 and
the letters A, B, C, D, E, F… and red dotted lines (vertical &
horizontal) have divided the surface of the tree in squares
where is written a number of names. Referring to the table of
names one can know in which square is written a specific name.
- Seven thousand three hundred
and fifty (7350) names (men and women) in “ two white and yellow
colors” in the size of the lineage tied together, have covered
the surface of the tree, and though connection with the 12 main
branches which are also linked together, show more than 93
generations or lineal descendents of history during 2900 years.
In other words a tree of which the root goes down in the depths
of the history.
- To identify Ardalan rulers and their sequence, each of Ardalan
rulers is marked with a star (*) and the history of the ruling
period, their titles and some pieces of information about them
are written in front of their names. In addition, the list of
their names is drawn up from No. 1 to 40 respectively on the
left of the tree.
- All the names, titles and specifications together with
necessary explanations are mentioned in a table in the book
“Abstract of History of Kurds and Kurdistan” for guidance of
interested person. Briefly, more than 30000 names, addresses,
histories, points and landscapes with a new design are mixed
together in a painting in order to visualize the history of this
family in form of this tree from 900 B.C. to 2007 A.D.
- The period, from the year 900 B.C. (Media Tribes Union) to
Ardeshir Sassanid (212 A.D.), and to then Baba Ardalan (1222 AD)
(21 Centuries and
about 63 lineal descendents), due to being long and mention of
the names of generations in history as well as shortage of room
in the trunk and the root of the tree, has been mentioned
briefly just enough to convey the purpose. From 1222 AD when
Baba Ardalan attained the government of Kurdistan and his
descendants governed subsequently until 1868 AD and until 1924
AD when the last Ardalan ruler by the name of Abbas Khan Ardalan
(No. 40 of the tree) was imprisoned and under surveillance for
life, and also up to the year 2007 AD which form 8 centuries are
drawn on this tree in details which in certain cases include 30
lineal descendants which is matchless in the world in its kind.
