Before Mukris, the region was ruled by Hadhabanis, the region is also in the same, or similar, location as Mannea and Takht-e Soleymān. During the battle of Dimdim, Mukriyanis rallied around Kurds of Bradost.[6] It is said Mukris speak a very pure form of Kurdish.[7] Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri noblewomen in 1610 AD.[8]
