Many strange things were already
identified as possible proofs of Mesopotamia and Central Asia as the
original homeland of Hungarians.
Historic reports, Hungarian runes results of genetics and culture were
analyzed. Coming to the conclusion that all the similarities and
identities listed in the different topics would be mere coincidences
and no other proofs exists we fail. Survey of names brings new
surprises.
Names
of the Forefathers
Aparni lived on the
southern southeastern shore of the Caspian Sea and
can be somehov related to a mysterious nation, whose name clearly
resembles Kush of the Old Testament, the father of Sumerians. Also the
Khusitic Scythians had a forefather called
Kush-Tana, bringing the
Biblical person again, also pointing to the shape of Tana of the
Hungarian legends. Actual Hungarian family names Kustán, Kustyán or
Kustány still remind to him.
Hunting of the two sons of
Nimrod
is an important element of the
Hungarian legends , especially as Bible identifies Nimrod as a Mighty
Hunter (Genesis 10:9.). His Sumerian name, or his title better was
"nimb-UR-SHAG", meaning
"LORD of PANTHERS" that is "Párducok URA" in
Hungarian, or "Párduc URASÁG", in line with the name recorded in the
Bible, where word "nimra" means "panther" combined with "rad", "to
defeat". Thfirst part of the name reminds to the Hebrew word, while the
second to the Hungarian. Moreover, Nimrod had to defeat panthers to
become "Mighty" hunter: however this title is falsely identified with
killing panthers, while defeater of panthers refers more to his ability
to domesticate them for using them during future huntings. Really,
kings and rulers of Central Asia where Hungarians came from trained
panthers to hunting. Skin of the panther was traditionally one of the
most precious separate of Hungarian kings, resembling the old fashion
Nimrod was portrayed.
Historian Yosef-ben-Gorion ha-kohen, or Yosippon kept, that
Nimrod
equals to the first Egyptian king
Menes,
turning into the shape of
Mesopotamian Nimrod, while
Eneth
His wife was the Egyptian goddes
Neith
originally.
Headgod of old Galatians was called MEN, while KYBELE was their
Headgoddess portrayed with many breasts. This pair of gods can be
explained in Hungarian as well, once wiht the parallel of Nimrod-MENrot
(an other form of the name of Nimrod), while the name KYBELE can be
driven back to the word KEBEL (breast) based on the portrayal. Their
country was known as Phrygia. They seem to follow Chaldean traditions,
as even Assyrians call them "Kaldu", just as Babylonia. These
Galatians, Phrygians transferred the Babylonian relóigion to the Greeks
and Romans later. This case they can be the ancestors of both Seklers
and Etrurians most likely. The fact is taht MEN was exactly the same as
Marduk-Merodiak/Ninus/Nimrod, while Kybele equals to Ishtar/Semiramis.
The Scythian legend of origin is three folded, similarly to the
Indoeuropean, Sparthian, Dorian or Old Testament reports: Targitaus has
three sons
called Lipoksai, Arpoksai and Kholaksai.
Targitaus is an important
ancestor among Huns, Avars and Seklers. The name resembles the
Georgian
Thargamos and
Armenian
Togarma, as
Arpoksai reminds to
Arpakhshad of
Habiri. Analysis of the names based on Sumearian language provides
astonishing result. The names of the four ancestors can be translated
using Sumerian! Let's see them with the help of Sumerian dictionary of
Labat:
- Targitaus
(Sumerian:
Tar-Gi-Ta-US; Labat: 12, 85, 139, 211) - "Driven by honest decision"
- Lipoksai (Sumerian:
Lib-Aha-I-Sí; Labat: 424, 183, 231, 112) - "Benevolent Heart"
- Arpoksai (Sumerian:
Ab-Aha-I-Sí; Labat: 128, 183, 231, 112) - "Heart full of Fatherly Love"
- Kolaksai
(Sumerian:
Ku-L(i)-Aha-I-Sí; Labat: 331, 183, 231, 112) - "Heart full of Friendly
Love"
Their names also indicates the most important virtue of Scythians, that
is honesty and love.
Kolaksai was also the head of
tribe auhata, those name in Sumerian means "Sprig of the Shining
Sun God",
"A-U-Had-Da"
(Labat: 579, 381, 295, 335). They could be considered to be the
ancestors of Avars quite easy, as they were also the "Sprig of Shining
Sun", "A-U-Ar" (Labat: 579, 381, 451)
Had=Ar.
The tribe of Arpoksai called
traspisi deriving from Sumerian
"T(e)r-A-Zé-Bi-Zí-(A)"
(Labat: 375, 579, 338a 214 84 579, "inhabitant of the wood next to the
water".
The tribe of Kolaksai was paralata, the
"Bara-La(l)-Ta" (Labat:
280, 481, 211) meaning "people living under king's dependency". This is
completely true to them as Kolaksai, the youngest son inherited the
throne of Targitaus after his death. Greeks called his land Kolkhis.
Herodotus also reports that the common - family - name of the princes
after the king was Skolotus. It's Sumerian equivalent is
"Sag-Kul-U4-Tu6" (Labat: 115, 72,
381, 16),
"loyal servant of the
Enchanting Sun God". Greek equivalent of this nbame is SCYTHA,
"Sag-U4-Tu6-A" (Labat: 115, 381,
16, 579),
"slave of the Enchanting
Sun God". Today's concept to derive Scytha from
"Sag-Ud-Da" "white faced" ignoring diphtongue
"th" and it's meaning
"enchanting". This official theory
can be also disproven by the fact that not all Scythians were white
skinned indeed. There were "Kushitic", dark skinned Scythians as well.
Even Leader Árpád had dark skin, according to Chronicles...
A mysterious nation appears in Mesopotamia in the time of the Hebrew
Exodus: kassites (
kasu). Their
original homeland is still unknown, also
their further history is unknown after their move to Mountain Zargos
being defeated in Babylon. They have to be considered to be the
"
Kasdis" most likely and not
the Chaldeans of New Babylon. Kassites
accidentally spoke a Sumerian kind of langauge, if not the same, and
they might be the Sumerians returning to reoccupy their lands being
deported by Akkadians many centuries before. Kassites were excellent
horse riders, the most special feature of Northern Mesopotamian nations
on the land of Subartu/Mitanni, being very close to Sumerians from the
most ancient of times.
There can be an alliance established among the Northern and Southern
nations of Zargos region. Similar allies seem to be quite common among
Sumerian/Sabir and Indoaryan nations. Hurrite and Mede influence can be
accepted based on some inevitably Indi names of their rulers like
Suriash=Surya,
Maruttash=Marut,
Inda-Bugash=Indra-Bhaga).
This
alliance took the lead over whole Mesopotamia. Mittanite kingdom was
preceeded and survived by Kassitic kingdom by 90 years.
Gods of Mitannite treaties are typical Vedic gods: Varun-a, Mitra,
Indra and N-satyau mixing with the names of Mitanni rulers and
aristocracy being clearly Indic: Barattarna, Saushshatar, Artatama,
Shuttarna, Tushratta
(Dushratta), Sattvara (Sattiwaza), Varashatta.
At this point the other name "Chaldean" of Kassites and their relation
to Sumerians makes to connect our argument to the Hungarian-Hebrew
relations possible again. Parallels of the names above can be
identified in todays Hungarian, like
Suriash
= Surya =
Sur(j)án(y)(i) ,
Maruttash
= Marut =
Marót (an other
variant of the name of Nimrod is MEN-MAROT),
Varun-a =
Várhun, Várkony. Indic word
"bharat" has the same meaning in Hungarian, friend (barát) and even in
the meaning of monk (barát).
Old Hunnish tribe of
Seklers
of Carpathians can be correlated with old
Tzekelesh. One of their
genus is called "
kézdi",
exactly
"Chaldean"/"Kasdi"! One of their most important cities is called
Kézdivásárhely in Kovasna county, Roumania. The Roumanian name of the
city is "Târgu Secuiesc", meaning "Sekler Marketplace", identifying
Seklers with Kasdis/Chaldeans. The speciality of turning Assirian "l"
to "s" in Hebrew can be proven in the case of Kászdi/Káldi in Hungarian
as well, as well as the
Kasi/Kasdi
(Kassite/Chaldean): One of the
Hun-Hungarian tribes was called
Keszi,
that is the same as Kézdi most
likely, also many tribal or location name became lastname in Hungarian,
getting "i" or "y" ending, pointing to the origin. Frequent lastnames
as
Káldi/Káldy/Káltai/Káltay
and some variants of the phrase suggest the location of "Káld" or
"Kált", in Hungary that is not existing... except in Ancient past:
Káldea (Chaldea). Just as there is no location on the Carpathian Basin
called Kézd, that means name
Kézdi
can point to an old tribe only! It
is maybe a coincidence only that Western sources called both ancient
Sicilians and
Seklers as
Siculs.
Names of Hungarian rulers from Arpad House can be driven back to the
Sumerian.
- Ügek, or Ügyek: "U-E-Ge-K(e4)"
(Labat: 411, 308, 85, 233), "Prince
of Truth"
- Árpád, resembling
the name of a Scythian king Ariapeithes noted by Herodotus identified
by the official sciences with Ancient Egyptian Erpet based on the book
"The Egyptian Book of the Dead", by Wallis Budge. The name deriving
from Sumerian: "Ar-I-A-Pad-Da"
(Labat: 451, 142, 579, 450, 335), "Chosen
for Glorious Fame".
That is definitelly true in his case execution the final settlement of
Hungafrians in the Carpathian Basin.
- Head Géza,
protrayed by a Greek artist on the Hungarian Holy Crown under name
Geobitsas. This name is a full Scythian sentence "Ge-U4-U-Bi-T(i)-Sá-A", "The king who makes
effort to reach divine brightness". The real characteristic of
Géza!
- Vajk, the name of
king Stephen I. prior
converting to Roman Catholicism can be translated as "U4-A-I-I-K(e4)"
(Labat: 381, 579, 142, 233), "The
light of the Glorious Father", meaning to be the apple of his
fathers eye as well.
Others in a brief list:
- Vászoly (Vazul) - U-A-Zu-Ul, "Famous Magi Princess"
- Koppány - Gub-Ba-Á-An/An, "Person having mighty
power"
- Endre - En-Dere, "Head Prince"
- Kálmán - Kal-Ma-An, "Person having Great Prestige"
- Levente - Le-U4-E-N(i)-Ti-Ka, "Defender of the side
of Sun God"
These names used by Scythians as well - see above - all have meaning in
Sumerian, but analyzing other Hungarian names would lead to similar
results.
The question raises again, do Hungarians really have nothing to do with
Sumerians and Scythians? Nations those Herodotus himself merges,
reporting that "Scythians lived in Mesopotamia far before any other
nations"?
Geographical
Names
Names of Hungarian locations have surprisse in stor for us. Most of
Hungarian related ancient location names are find on
Syria-Ugarit-Phoenicia and in the land of Canaan. (Only locations in
Canaan will be listed here, with their Hungarian equivalents in
parenthesis.)
- Ugarit (the god of soils was called Ugar, that means fallow
in today's Hungarian refering also to the name of Ugors);
- Arad (Arad)
- Arpad (Árpád)
- Emesa (Emese)
- Halman (Kálmán)
- Kalno (Kálnó)
- Sin (Szin; sound "s" is written as "sz" in Hungarian)
- Arka (Árka)
- Paripa (Paripa - steed)
- Cor or Tirus (Csór)
- Damaskus (to István Székely in the 16th century the old god
of Hungarians was called Damasek)
- Simira/Sumura/Samuri (Szemere, Szomor)
- Halab or Aleppo (Haláp or Halág)
- Ursu (Örs)
- Hadad (Hadad)
- Berit (Beret)
Name Baal-Biqa can fall under suspicion of being Hungarian in origin,
having Baal symbolized witha bull (bika). Coincidence can be closed out
in this amount of similarities concentrating in a small location. Even
in the Holy Bible can be many (exactly 84) today's Hungarian location
name identified!

Anyone being familiar with Biblical Commentaries can easily identify a
height called Taborhegy (Mount Tabor or Tavor, or Har-Tabor/Tavor
according to Hebrew) in the land of Manasseh, meaning Mount of Camp
(Táborhegy) in Hungarian, exactly according to the ears of Hungarians!
Many Hungarian location exist those names resemble the geographical
areas of Hungarians' origin or their inhabitants, or the Old Testament
of the Holy Bible. A list without the need of completeness:
Today's Hungary:
Ábrahámhegy,
Bakonyszombathely, Barabás, Bélmegyer, Boldogasszonyfa, Egyházaskozár,
Garabonc, Szombathely, Istenmezeje, Iszkáz, Izsák, Izsákfa, Jakabháza,

Zalaszabar.
Transylvania, Roumania:

Kozárvár, Mezõörményes, Mezõsámsond, Obád, Örményes, Szárhegy
many other locations with names
beginning with "Magyar-",
or "Kászon-".
Today's Slovakia:
Besenyõfalu,
Betlenfalva, Felsõelefánt (this one is for speciality only,
being elephants absolutely strange in this part of the world), Hutti, Illés, Izsákfalva, Nagymegyer,
Nagyszombat, Rimaszombat, Simony, Szepesszombat
Poland:
Bélakorompa
Vojvodina, Serbia:
Kumán,
Bácsgyulafalva, India
Subcarpathia, Ukraine:
Halábor,
Ungvár, Szõlõsgyula
and some
"szerdahely" more
from all regions, reminding to the law of
third day.
According to Hungarian grammatics can names
szakály, szokoly or
székely
sign places where
Sakas (or
Sokos and
Sekes to some dialects) live(d).
What is the reason of
- our fathers bound us so deeply to the Old Testament and
it's figures, however
being Christians quite long?
- having so many "Turkic/Turkish loanwords" in the names of
our locations? Could
their 150 years long occupation have so heavy influence in our
language, or is it possible that our language is just closer to Turkish
in spite of official theory of Finnougriansm?
Northern Mesopotamia was also known as
Mada/Mata/Madya. Word
"mat",
"madh",
"madj" means "country" in Sumerian,
Sabir, Parthian and other relative languages, but Assyrians and
Egyptians used it in the similar meaning. Important detail that sounds
"dh" or "dy" are the same as Hungarian "gy", and that Hungarian word
"megye" still means the same as in the past. Now if this phrase could
stay so long in time, than Hungarians have to be the old tribe of
Mitanni. The land of Mitanny or Mada was called Magor or Magar in some
ancient Egyptian documents. There are many evidences of similarities
between Hungarian and Sumerian/Sabir languages, like "tarshua" in
Hurrite/Sabir means "every people", while "shag" in Sumerian was used
to tall people or high in rank. Todays Hungarian has the combination of
these two words in "társaság". Also Hungarian words of
ló (horse), harci mén (war stallion),
szekér (wagon) can be identified in Northern Mesopotamian
language.
The name of Anatolia (Turkey) is also interesting, in Greek
"man from
East". In the Turkish - who came from East - it means
"Rich Mother", in
form of ANA+DOLU, that surprisingly reminds to the combination of
Hungarian words ANYA+TELE. This name can be the explanation of the name
of
Andalusia, Spain, as
parallels of name
Sephardian,
(Subartuan-Savardian) can be identified in the same area.
