Hephtalites can be subjects of Huns(Xiong-Nus). Some sources call the White Huns(Akhuns). But It's not a certain idea.

I'm not sure if the dates or events are correct but they might be helpful for any researh on the related subjects...
c. 370 The Huns invade Europe from the Central Asian steppe.
440 The Hephthalites (White Huns, later known in the West as the Avars) move south from the Altai region to occupy Transoxiana, Bactria, Khurasan, and eastern Persia.
c. 460 The Hephthalites conquer the Kushans and invade India.
552 The Turks destroy the Juan-juan Empire and establish the Turkic Khaganate, nominally divided into Western and Eastern Khanates.
553-68 The Turks and Sassanians ally to destroy the Hephthalite Empire.
late 6th cent. The Hephthalites move west to the Russian steppe to form the Avar Khanate. |
This is just plain wrong, the Avars did not even begin to move south before the 500s.

A long and intensive list of steppe dates. Kind of gives us
quick access to various timelines. I always wondered about these guys -
The Hephthalites (White Huns). Seems that they are listed as Avars
here. |
Seems like there are a few discrepencies here, and no sources listed by the author. Strange.

out. A few have remained. And with Mongolian written records not
predating the time of Cengiz Han, it makes it more difficult to know
who the Avars or, in this case, the Juan Juan were. Does anyone have
info on the first documented usuage of Mongol peoples or
language? |
Written records of the Chinese, and codified versions of the Orghuz Dastans.

If u want talk something ' remarkable' at that era, instead of what u posted, which I think is tiny in significance, the five great expeditions of Ming troops against Mongols would make sense, under which the Mongols were not only swept off from China, but also droven to the north of Gobi desert and split into two. Though they thought the vast Gobi desert could be protective screen for their survival and duck behind it with harshing China border time to time, they were wrong again, they never posed a serious threat to China since then and after recieved consistent beat, they finally subdued to Ming dynasty. |
Iwant you to give more information about the five great expeditions of Ming troops against Mongols? As far as I know it's not 5, 4 instead.

Karimov is not idiot, he is very clever. He is just evil.
Turkmenbashi, well, turkmen TV shows only him if I am not mistaken.
He cultivated Rukhname as that was "Quran" for Turkmens.
I have read it, nothing stupid was published before. He thinks he is one of 3 greatest leaders of world. even he claims to be "prophet".
Thanks to Allah, that we haven't seen such stupid like Turkmenbashi.

Did those Five expeditions take place before or after the re-erection of the Great Wall? Thank you.

from what i've read the Ming army simply disintegrated because they ran into serious logistical problems (water shortage) which seems logical considdering the huge number of Ming troops. those who did not surrender to the Oirats were cut down, obviously those were not many of course only 20,000 Oirats can not defeat that many troops on a tactical level...

Neither, simply disbanded or lay mutilated and resting in the streets of Peking. Esen Khan could not absorb 250,000, and it was impossible for 250,000 to get killed at once. Like all defeats of big armies, the bigger army simply disbands or retreats. Btw, the official number of the Ming army at Tumu is 500,000.

Add to your long list most remarkable victory of Oirad Mongols by Oirad Mongols khan Esen
In 1449 The Mongol victory was won by an advance guard of only 20,000 cavalry over Ming Chinese force of 250000. The emperor Zhengtong Emperor was captured on September 1, 1449 , and on September 3 was sent to Esen's main camp near Xianfu.
Remarkable or unbelievable beat

Well, one thing I'll say for all these things is that YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN TURKMENISTAN to see what he's done. I'm not justifying him... everybody's got both good & Bad sides; the thing is that you've got to be totally useful for the systematic process. He's been, we belive, quite useful so far. Thanks for all your comments anyhow. Take care...

I know he's like a dictator, I agree. But he's done a lot of things in Turkmenistan. We had nothing before 1991; still we lack many things. But, Sapar Myrat Niyazov, as I myself think, has brought many improvements here. Others may think in another way. Take care...

Khoemeini is idolised by fanatic followers of his extreme Shie doctrine, Turkmenbashi building that statue of himself suggests he is somewhat of a megalomanic. If people erected the statue after, that is something else

and thats why we hate them
your justifing one dictator by comparing them to other dictators? it doesnt make sense.
well, the mullahs did a lot of good things for iran also, but at the end of the day they are dictators, killers, selfish, and corrupt.

Turkmenbashis statue revolves so his outstretched arms greet the rising
and setting sun LOL. Got that from Rise of the Turkic World by
Hugh Pope.
Turkish representatives had to persuade this ...lunatic?... not to
choose Ataturkmen after Ataturk - so he settled with Turkmenbashi.

Was it not 1911? And was it not Manju-Qing Dynasty? China is the wrong term in this case.

Wrong, China is the correct term. Pretty much all Manchu descendents are part of today's Chinese population. The term "China" and "Chinese" was created during the Qing dynasty with approval of the administration. "CHina" is a term designated for a nation state that does not have any ethnic restrictions.
