My articles on Alans

An extremely rare Northern cluster of Y DNA J1 that is only found in Eastern Anatolia, in the Caucasus, in the Iranian shores of the Caspian Sea, in Belgium and in Portugal could be associated to the Alans because it's not found in any other place.

In fact, the Asud was ever the most powerful tribe among eastern Mongolians after Yuan's withdrawal from Beijing, Asud's leader Arugtai Tayisi ever led eastern Mongolians struggled against western Mongolians Oriats and Ming Chinese for over 30 years. The Oriats finally defeated Arugtai Tayisi, the Asud lost their power and known as a sub-clan of the Kharchins later. During conflict between the Tsahar(Khan's tribe) and the west wing of the Mongols, the Asud was destroyed, some joined the Kharchins, and others were absorbed by the Ar Horchins and the Manchus.

don't forget Khubilai Khans Guard was Alan, do you think they dissappeared into nothingness?

there is no evidence whatseover that Alans moved into Northafrica. by litterary evidence the Vanadals killed all Alans in Spain. and the map doesn't show Alans in Brittany, from which we know they settled there.

Come on, I am sure you know what I meant. The Alans have nothing to do with Balkan Albanians, as less as with British people on Albion or with people from the Alps. And an eagle you can find all around the world, Germany, Prussia, Russia, USA .....

Originally posted by beorna Originally posted by Cyrus Shahmiri In Greek the name has been changed to "Albania", it is interesting that people of the modern country of Albania in Europe call their country "Shqiperia" which just means “Country of the Eagle”.  I am sure you know that Alb- means white, Albania, Albion, Alpi montes.....

I think everyone knows about the ancient Caucasian Alban kingdom in the modern day Azerbaijan.

Albania simply means country of Mountains in Latin.

Well, even if you are Iranian, then that's Arabic and not Farsi, or am I wrong?

So... I'd really like a translation of that into either English (preferrable), or any other language the most of us speak. :D

Thanks,
