The _curse of Turan_ was very common in the Persian chronicles. It strongly existed in their yearbooks. They were sure and they knew that there is a curse that strikes them down. 

Amongst the Europian nations, it only existed in Hungary.

**What does the Persian myth say?**

A Scythian golden disc's embossment represents a high mountain with king Nimrod's twin sons who are standing opposite each other with a priest in between them and a cup in the middle. 

The twin brothers Tur and Ir are cutting their own arms with a knife and letting their blood flow into the cup to drink it.

This was a blood oath which was called the Pamirian oath. The high mountain where they did the oath it was Pamir.

The Talts decided to Tur be the king who was older by a few minutes than his twin brother Ir, but the reason wasn't this. Tur was wiser, more educated, he possessed more knowledge than Ir. 

Ir said that real men don't need that much of a knowledge they need a sword. Ir was a soldier, a fighter. 

The Talts said they don't need a soldier to govern a country, because he could twirl their country into battles. 

The question may rise what sort of country is that Tur inherits from Nimrod. Nimrod's empire was really big. 

The Persian myths say that in that time Nimrod's empire included the whole Asia, the whole Europe and Northern Africa. This empire is from where later on the Great Wall of China rises to the Atlantic Ocean. 

This is only a part of his empire and not the biggest one. According to the Persian myth he had three empires one on the West, one on the South and Eurasia. 

**What happened next:**

Ir attacked Tur with his army. A huge war started. As the Persian written notation says Iran was covered with blood, Scythia was soaking in blood even blood flown under the walls of Babylon. Tur's nation was called Turanian and Ir's nation was called Irani.

After decades of war and millions of people died Tur and Ir didn't see the point of the war. Either of them wins what will they have to govern. A big pile of dead bodies. 

This is when they went up to the mountain of Pamir and did their blood oath saying they will never start a war again against each other.

The question rises again why and how the curse of Turan started. Well because they violated the oath and started their war again after six months. 

This time only the two of them fought against each other and eventually Tur killed Ir.
