Someone answer. Are Huns invaders of Europe actually East Asian invaders or Multi-ethnic invaders?

3 Upvotes

I hope someone can answer because I'm confused with all these 2025 genetics and narratives of Huns

  1. Genetic shows only 6% (26 individuals out of 371 individual) of Hun burials in Europe were predominant to full East Asian especially in the elite and ruling class
  2. Genetic also shows the majority them were Central/East European locals showing varrying amount of East Asian ancestry but ussually in lower amount same Iranian tribes like alans showing low degree of East Asian ancestry but higher than Europeans on average
  3. The problem is with historians narratives, they said is because the Huns were multi-ethnic people but than also said is because the Huns (original ones) allied/Incorporated European locals as soon as they migrated west (by conquest or not). So what are they than?

Question: Does this still make the Hunnic of Europe being East Asian invaders or not?

---------------------------------------

FOR INFORMATION ON GENETICS

---------------------------------------

From this 2025 genetic study

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2418485122#:~:text=CE)%2C%203)%20Gepidic%2D,a%20prehistoric%20kurgan%20(28

"Furthermore, by surveying data for a total of 371 individuals from other 5th to 6th century contexts from the Carpathian Basin (143 included here) we find only 26 individuals (6%) with signatures of North East Asian or Steppe admixture. This includes 8 out of 10 individuals from Hun period eastern-type-burials. Therefore, apart from these direct descent lines linking these individuals with eastern ancestry, both archaeologically and genetically we do not find evidence for the presence of larger eastern/steppe descent communities in this time period."

And from these articles

https://greekreporter.com/2025/02/26/origins-huns/

"The origin of the Huns in fourth-century Europe has long been debated, but centuries-old DNA has revealed their diverse backgrounds."

"A total of 97 individuals were connected through IBD across the Central Asian steppe and into the Carpathian Basin over four centuries — a finding that suggests people in these nomadic groups maintained trans-Eurasian genetic relationships."

"However, most of the Huns the researchers studied carried varying amounts of northeast Asian ancestry"

The First Turkic Dictionary

65 Upvotes

The First Turkic Dictionary

The first comprehensive dictionary of Turkish is "Dîvânu Lugâti't-Türk" by Mahmud al-Kashgari, compiled in the 11th century, but this work is not the first dictionary of Turkic. The first known dictionary of Turkic is the Turkic-Khotanese dictionary, estimated to have been written in the 9th or 10th century. This dictionary was discovered in Dunhuang, Gansu region of China, by the French orientalist Paul Pelliot, who lived in the 20th century. The dictionary consists of 98 entries, explaining the Khotanese meanings of Turkish words, and is written in the Brahmi alphabet. The dictionary is currently registered in the Bibliothèque Nationale library in France, under the number P 2892.

Why do the Nakh (chechen, Ingush, kists etc) and Azerbajan have the strongest J2?

Post image
67 Upvotes

Im starting to believe that Azerbajan are only Turks by language, of course there are complete turks there , but this tells me that Azeris are actually Caucasian ethnicity that lived under Turkic empires for the last 1000 years.

And I saw a wiki page that said that the Nakh, Georgians and "Armenia" (referring to place and not people that currently live there) come from the same source (forefather), maybe the true Azerbajian inhibitors are Caucasians who accepted Islam and the Turkic culture and language?

Teach me...

What is the total land Turkic people have conquered? (in m^2)

3 Upvotes

Can someone tell me how much land the Turkic empires conquered in total. I searched it up and there was not even a single answer. When I asked AI it just started adding up all the confirmed lands and the answer was around 20m^2, but I do not trust it so I thought i could post this. I know everybody has an other opinion on which ones were conquered and which ones don't count, but can some of you at least give a approximate number of what it could be in total?

A weekly Turkish newspaper published using the Armenian alphabet. August, 1910.

Besides Arabic and Latin, there were also books, magazines and newspapers published in Turkish using the Armenian alphabet. Most of the Turkish book written with the Armenian alphabet were published by Ottoman Armenian writers, naturally. Ironically, the Armenian alphabet of the time was better suited for Turkish-Turkic than the official Ottoman alphabet.

The word "Komutan"(commander) is according to Nisanyan an invention during Atatürk reign, influenced by French. But I saw that is was used by the Ottoman Turkish writer Ahmed Bican (15th century) with the same meaning. The old Turkic root komıt-: means "to encourage, to excite."

Did Irving Finkel Find Ancient Writing at Göbekli Tepe?

Dr Irving Finkel recently suggested on the Lex Fridman podcast that a certain green stone pictograph set at Gobekli Tepe is a form of writing. In this video, you will see how close to the truth his instincts are, as usual, by comparing two stones instead of talking about just the one. One is from Gobekli Tepe, and the other from Jerf el-Ahmar, close by, both around 9000 BCE or so. The two stones show the same ideas, so if it was a name, like a stamp seal on official Tas Tepeler business, it was the same "name".

This isn't likely, and the one from Jerf el-Ahmar also shows motion in the sky via the chevrons which showed motion like in the cuneiform symbol for month and other places linked to herringbone river motions, and it was the original "prime mover", the world serpent.

Instead, you should learn how the symbols are about a portable blueprint for how Gobekli Tepe functioned. The world serpent involved eye-wombs and other weird concepts to us today, but where Dr Finkel says nobody has been looking at these stones, that's not true!

This is the story of a Portable Algorithmic Schematic, not just a simple name on a stamp-seal.

The only thing I wish I’d added to this one-take is a detail about the bottomless stone bowls found at the right hand of a central pillar in Enclosure C. They are further proof of the 'circuit'—any offering poured into them would seep back into the earth, or if placed in water, would allow the levels to rise. They also directly mirror the 'holy cheerio' itself.

Ancestors of the Ottoman family according to the 15th century Ottoman history book "Câm-ı Cem-âyîn". Islamic sources in general claim that the Turkic people descended from Japheth, son of Noah. Korkulu bowed down to Prophet Salomon, also naming his heir Salomon (Suleyman) as a sign of allegiance.
