Reading the Evidence

According to the archaeological record, the Jews of the Southern Jurisdiction of Judah were pagans all the time prior to the Hasmonean period. Judaism prior to that must be understood as primarily a secretive religion hiding within other religions and so is still largely the case with the Jews of the Northern Jurisdiction of Israel. How should the evidence of Judaic practices in Alevism be understood? Is it prima facie evidence of Israelite origin? Theses practices have mostly been adopted throughout the ages in light of the understanding by leading Alevi Dedes in times past of the partial Israelite origin of the otherwise tribal priestly Median origin of the Alevis. How should the evidence of the Israelite practices in Yezidism be understood? The Yezidis are a highly archaic denomination of Median Judaism and it remains unclear when these extremely archaic practices were adopted considering that the Assyrian-deported Israelites of the Northern Kingdom of Israel were pagans. The evidence makes obvious that Alevis and Yezidis are clearly Jewish. The question that should be asked is whether they belong to the Southern Jurisdiction of Judah or the Northern Jurisdiction of Israel? Since any origin in the Southern Jurisdiction of Judah is out of question must it be concluded that they at least themselves secretly believe themselves to constitute the Northern Jurisdiction of Israel. The trisection in a) commoners, b) priestly tribe and c) priestly class which exists throughout core Median Judaism suggests a common Median historical origin. The fact that Sabbatai Zevi chose to become a Bektashi dervish (Bektashism is one of 9 denominations of core Median Judaism) and brought 300 families among his adherents into Bektashism suggests that he knew about Median Judaism and as the then recognized messiah was initiated into the secrets of Esoteric Judaism.
