Topic: Chronology of Central Asian History Posted: 26-Dec-2005 at 14:34 |
They were not Khalkha-Mongols, or something like Kalmucks or Burjats.
They were Turkic-speaking nomads similar to Kazakhs, Noghays and steppe
Crimean Tartars.
Toba were Turkic speaking rulers of China. Read Rene Grousset "mpire of the Steppes".
The time table says much about the "China conquests", whereas the Northern China
itself was during most of its long history ruled by nomadic conquerors
from the North.

The Mongol Hordes occupied Russia for about 262 years. Amazing

As I recall it appears to be a theory that says that the Sumerians were not originally from Sumer. Through their early writings (not cuneiform, by the way) there appears to be similarities with those discovered in the Black Sea area and a few more other areas which could suggest migration possibly after the last ice age. It further says that this theory would indeed upturn all our earlier beliefs about Mesopotamia and that the Great Flood as told in the Genesis and in the Epic of Gilgamesh is actually around the Black Sea.
I am not sure whether this theory has been rejected or otherwise.
Thanks, tadamson.

You might be right Rakhsh; thanks for your comment. But, why don't we let time to clarify everything? Take care and take it easy.
Kind regards,

Stalin was a ruthless killer and the president of TurkemanStan is just as bed, ohh Khomeni well he was a cruel ruthless leader and killer too. Do you know how many people died because of him or how many he ordered their deaths? Or how he tried to destroy Iranian Culture?

Oh, Zagros, you see Emam Khomeyni and Emam Khamene'i everywhere in Iran too...
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...

I think people are "mad" and nothing wrong with him! I was born in Nebit Dag and I have seen a part of his cult. Some people love him. My father, for example, thinks it was nothing wrong to Stalin, people loved him. He thinks Stalin was a great ruler, as he fought corruption, enemies and provided strong order and rose economics. However my father has no respect for present rulers of Russia.

Thanks Seko. Good article. Now, I'd like to mention that Juan Juan dialect was described as 'different' than Turks. About their clothings and customs, we see paradoxes, if compared to our ancestors (Turks) at that time. You know, we've got various linguists and scientists about Turks and Mongols with different points of view. But here, I'd like to refer to what eyewitnesses say about them. I can give you links to different papers (old and new) which is about our conversation. Take care mate.

Below is a short synopsis on the Ruruan (Juan Juan) as coming from the eastern Hu tribes and later mixing with the Hunnic tribes -Gao-che. The author claims that the Ruruan are more Hun than anything else. Not pre-Mongol even.
The Ruruan founder was said to be a 'Hu' by Toba. Toba claimed heritage from Huangdi and hence dispised other nomads as 'Hu'. The terminology for 'Hu' was categorical. Toba, in order to show their disdain for the Ruruans, despised the Ruruan and nicknamed them as 'ru ru', meaning a kind of slow crawling insect on the ground. Toba, claiming Yellow Emperor heritage, certainly treated other nomads as barbarian. There is one more comment in History Of Toba Wei Dynasty, namely, the founder of Ruruan might have origin in Eastern Hu nomads. So to say that it is no strange to see non-Chinese websites advocating a school of thought stating that Ruruan (Zhuzhan), like Toba, were people of Eastern Mongolia and Western Manchuria and that "from the IInd and up to the IVth centuries, Altai lived under the influence of Syanbiy tribes. From the end of the IVth century the Altaian tribes were subjugated by the Zhuzhans ... and were to pay tribute to them (by ironware)." (see http://www.altai-republic.com/history/altai_history_eng.htm for details.) But after the Ruruan founder fled to the Altai Mountains, he conquered and absorbed remnant Hunnic tribes and Gao-che people there. Ruruans and Gao-che people warred with each other as well as allied with each other. Hence, the Ruruans were more Hunnic than anyone else. History Of Toba Wei Dynasty further commented that "Ruruans, though the descendants of the Huns, could not have their exact ancestry traced."
