 ===Prophet Nahum and Alqosh===
-AalQoun, father of Nahum, was the son of a [[Hebrew]] family among thousands whom the Assyrian king Shelmenassar V, who reigned between 727 and 722 BC, brought to Alqosh. These Hebrews lived in [[peace]] with the Alqoshniye and even became [[prophet]]s such as Biblical Nahum. The interpretation that seems most logical relies on Marotha, the Alqusheian wise man from three centuries ago who asserted that the name Alqush is derived from Sîn, the god known as Siin, meaning "the greatest god". It was located at Shweetha D’Gannaweh, a hill north of Alqush. In this respect, Marotha relays what his ancestors have stated that those living in [[Nineveh]] would visit Alqush every  [[Akitu]] (the Assyrian and Babylonian New Year) to replay the [[Enuma Elish]] which is the Sumerian Epic of Creation. They then would have a religious ceremony in honor of the [[moon god]] [[Sin (mythology)|Sin]] and the image or icon of the god would be carried in a procession on their way back to Nineveh passing through the old Nineveh Alqush road.

-To its south is an agricultural area known as Bee Siinnat is clearly derived from the word Siin. Forty days later the inhabitants of Nineveh would return the statue or icon of the god to its original place in Alqush. Based on the foregoing, we believe that the name Alqush is taken from the Assyrian or earlier Sumerian name for god Siin/Alqush. Some Sumerologists claim that [[Inanna]], the Sumerian goddess of love and war, was also the offspring of the moon god [[Sin (mythology)|Sin]] or as he is was originally known ''Nanna''.  Alqoshniye are still awaiting the day when excavations of Shweetha D’Gannaweh, will hopefully reveal new cultural artifacts from its Assyrian or possibly even Pre-Assyrian history.

 As for women, their clothing originality extends to the history of [[Mesopotamia]]. Some signs of the Hatra's kingdom clearly appear in the ''posheya'' (Chaldean  headscarf) that adorns the head and in the Mazer worn by the women. The Chaldean signs in the Alqushian female would appear in the long braids made of wool that extend to her ankle after connecting it to the woman's original braids. The Alqushean women exaggerated wearing golden and silver ornaments around their neck and ear and in her Poosheya that used to cover her head, that was decorated with colorful beads. The forehead was surrounded with a golden belt that skirts this ''posheya'' front the front side whereas black strings dangle from both sides. The skirted part of various colors and decorations would cover the woman's body from the front after it hangs from the shoulder to extend to the two knees.

 ==Christianity and Alqosh==
-Since its establishment, Alqush was a place for worship. either for the [[Sumer]]ian god [[Sin (mythology)|Sin]], who was also worshiped at [[Ur]] as the Sumerian equivalent ''Nanna'', or for the god El-Qustu. Alqosh was also a site of worship for the Hebrew peoples when they were brought by the Assyrian army during the eighth and ninth century BC{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}.

 Alqush became an important town for Eastern Christianity after the coming of the [[Chaldean people|Chaldean]] monk Hirmiz who carved out a monastery out of the mountains of Alqosh.  This abbey is called "[[Rabban Hormizd Monastery]]" and which was crafted in 640 AD at the outskirts of the Mountains of Alqosh. It was used as the Seat for many [[patriarchs]] of the [[Church of the East]]. From this monastery came [[Yohannan Sulaqa]], who decided to unite with the [[Catholic Church]] in 1553 and established the [[Chaldean Church]].
