There's shamanistic traditions from the Sami and Finns in Scandinavia to the North
 
Sami are an Ural-Altaic peoples.

with the Hungarians in between in Europe
 
So are the Hungarians (lingiuistically) or "were" the Huns.

and the Koreans
 
So are Koreans
 
Which makes this comment by you

Shamanism isn't proof of anything much here.
 
Quite ironic because the groups you listed above have an Urali-Altaic connection.
 
Shaman is derived from the Siberian Turkic languages as an etymology. Shamanism-Tengrism is an ancient religion which has strong ties to the elements of nature, Sky God, Earth/Nature God and so on.
 
The Native American nations religions have ties with the Siberian Turkic people's religions.
 
Also "Shamanism" has for some reason being mis-represented and confused with unrelated religions in other parts of the world which are not connected to each other.
 
Mother Nature, Sky God, Totems, Sun God, Moon God, Shamans being in both worlds, common creation stories, legends and myths can be found among some Native American and Siberian nations.
 
 
There are real ties and connections which cannot just be dismissed because you think it sounds different to what you've "heard" or thought you "knew".
 
 
 
If you can read Russian here Ilya Zakharov of Moscow's Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, the Northern Native Americans are genetically related to the Tuvans, a Turkic group. Tuvan genetic make-up matched Inuit, Navajo and Apache nations 78%.

There are University groups in America conducting studies of Native American nations and Shamanic Turkic Siberian populations. There are ties between the people which are very old.

Since native Americans started from roughly the same area as Altaic populations, it only makes sense that they have similar linguistic origin. Of course a "Turkic" (sic) origin in terms of "nationality" is far stretched.
 
Let me use an analogy: words like father, sailor/boat, God, etc, have the same roots in languages in the Indoeuropean language family and are similar in languages like  English, Greek, Persian and Indian. This of course points to the fact that all of the people who created these languages (as they later evolved into) had at some point a common origin, still it does not mean that Indoeuropean is a race. In the same matter the fact that Indians and some Turkic tribes share common linguistic roots does not make neither that American Indians were Turklic nor the Turks are Amerindians.

I agree with Yiannis. To me it seems far fetched to seek Turkic origins to the native population of America.

But I cannot help but wonder, why an island in the Carribean is called Grand Turk?



Maybe that was the island Piri Reis discovered, and named it Grand Turk?WinkLOL

In the same matter the fact that Indians and some Turkic tribes share common linguistic roots does not make neither that American Indians were Turklic nor the Turks are Amerindians.
 
However, both have the same root, the two's great great great great great etc etc etc grandfathers and mothers lived in the same area, where part of the same communities/cultures and lived within close proximaty of each other.
 
This connection can best be witnessed with the Shamanic Siberian Turkic tribe also the Tuvans and the Native American Nations.
 
Bg_Turk, the naming of "Turks and Caicous" has many theories, the official one being that the Cacti resembled Turkish hats.
 
Some historians studying Piri Reis have noted that he called an island in the Carribean "Turk", there are Cuban archives and other Carribean archives of Ottoman ships being sited in the Carribean.
 
However, the topic requires more in-depth studies.

Well, that Native Americans are part of the Siberian-Mongolian family tree does not mean necesarily that they are Turks. As the matter of fact, why wouldn't they be more related to Chineses, Korean, Japaneses, Ainus, Mongolians or any of the hundreds of other other ethnic groups of the region?
 
Now, for Ottoman ships in the Caribbean.... well, it seem fantastic to say the least. Christians of colonial times were a little bit tough with Turk ships, and Chirstians dominated all the lands outside the Mediterranean Sea. On the other hand, if you mean turk ships in the Americas before contact, I will say it clear: there is no evidence at all.

Well modern-day Mongols wern't in the area at that period. Chinease were in a different area.
 
Koreans and Japanease also have an Altaic connection so its likely also they could have similarities aswell.
 
There arn't hundreds of other ethnic groups in that region, apart from the two above there are Turkic people's. There are today some Russians but they are recent immigrants.

Even, Evenk are Tungusic, which are Altaic
Nenets are Samoyed which are Ural-Altaic
 
Besides all of these communities combined population is barely 100,000.

What has the number got to do with it?
 
Listen, Easter Islanders are only 2.000 people, but only they were the Moais builders Big smile.
 
Those small communities could be "barely" 100.000 people, but if they are the relatives of Native Americans, they are the relevant for this topic. No others.

Big smile Nice, but what do you guys think of the Canadian scholar who had claimed that America was first discovered by the Afghan monks? Can't recall what the name of the book was.

"Altaic" and "Urallic" are very vague language groups. There's no general agreement about those groups, and how they're related, at all.
 
And you can't compare the numbers TODAY, they're simply not relevant.
 
Anyway, they aren't "Turkic" in any way, even if they have some common ancestors way back.

Everyone claims to be the discoverer of the Americas, so those "theories" does not surprise at all. However, we are looking for the truth in this thread, and the know facts are the following:
 
(1) Native Americans entered the continent between 15.000 to 25.000 years ago. They entered through the Bering strait, either walking of following the coastal lines. They were of mongolian-siberian racial stock.
 
(2) After them, the Inuits entered the Americas around 5.000 years ago comming from Siberia, and populated all the North American Artic. They colonized Greenland as well.
 
(3) The Norse established themselves in Greenland around 1000 A.D. and one post has been found in Newfoundland.
 
(4) All the other claims of contact are ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Egyptians, Greeks, Japaneses, Chineses, Polynesians, Africans, Irish or even Afghans WERE NEVER in the Americas.
 
 
Now, for fantasies, I preffer this of Jack Forbes: The American Discovery of Europe LOLLOLLOL

Well Altaic is accepted as being originated in the Eastern Siberian/Sub-Siberian region, Uralic began further West.
 
For example the "Nenets" are originally thought to be Uralic and later mixed with Altaic-Turkic-Tungusic etc groups.
 
Ural-Altaic due to similar lifestyles, geographical areas etc are thought to have started as the same. They also mixed alot and shared similar traits.

They are not Turkic, nobody claimed this but they and Turkic people have the same culture-ancestory. It would be more correct to say both have a connection to Altaic.

For as much as this thread has been inudated with pseudoscientific claims, there is still enough interest in it for it to stay open.
 
I just find the title of this thread utterly laughable. Were there "Muslims" in the pre-historical period????
 
I am actually really embarrassed by the fact that we, the whole AE Community, have a thread in our forum with such a ridiculous title.
