A
nation (ethnic) is determined by the corporeal marks, spiritual and
material culture and the language. The biological, physiological marks
are the most permanent and the language is the most variable, that can
eventually also be "changed".
In searching for the ethnic origins of Hungarians, one must look for
some other people -- whether past or present -- with the same, or
similar psychology, music, dance, faith, folklore, poetry, writing
system, cuisine, flora, fauna, and language. These comparisons, aside
from relying strictly on classical written sources, may be performed
using the disciplines of anthropology, music, dance, theology, poetry,
typology, ethnology, gastronomy, botany, zoology, and linguistics.
There is no need for guesswork outside of these precise sciences. If
these methods fail in the attempt to clearly identify the group or
groups with the strongest affinities to Hungarians, then the most
scientific statement one could hope for would be the somewhat resigned
phrase: "We don't know", "We don't know yet".
Hungary has one of the most prominent non Indo-European populations of
Europe. Its origins cannot be sought in Europe, as its physical,
cultural and linguistic roots are distinctly non-European in nature. Our
chronicles and traditions trace the beginnings of their national
identity to a series of tribes from
Central Asia
who settled the
Carpathian
basin
in several 'waves'; these include the Huns who were first invited by
the Romans in 361 AD, and opposed them a century later and from whom
the modern
Székelys
claim descent -- then two waves of Avars in 586 AD and Magyars (the
nation of Árpád)
settling in 895-96 AD, then Iazyges settling in 1235 AD and Cumanians
in 1243 and 1246 AD.
The Hungarians arrived here from afar, multiplying up to around 15
million, and preserving their own language, culture and physical traits.
Anthropology can point to the Hungarian homeland through
physiological research. The old country of Hungarians must be sought
where people lived, or still live who are physically like Hungarians.
The Uyghur
cemetery at Astana near the Jungar
Gate provides the answer
to this, revealed by Aurel Stein between 1913 and 1915, with 1200 more
graves discovered by the Uyghurs and Chinese in 1986. The people buried
there were physically the same as the Hungarians who settled in the
Carpathian Basin. Also demonstrative is the fact that typically Turanian,
Pamirian and Taurid genetic elements, that entered the Carpathian Basin with the Hungarians, are common only among
the Turkic
peoples of Central Asia, but occur nowhere else in Europe.
Aside from physiology, recent genetic research has provided clues
about national origins and kinships. Within the blood group system attributed to Landsteiner,
the rate of the typically Hungarian "0" and "B" blood types (31.05% and 17.90%)
is off from that of Indo-European and Finno-Ugric nations, but is
within the range found among Central Asian Turkic nations. Besides
this, there is another blood type among Hungarians, the Diego [A+],
present in no other people of Europe. The "Mongolian spot", almost unknown in
Europe, has 22.6% occurrence, and Lactose
intolerance (missing lactose digestive enzyme), rare elsewhere, is at 37% among Hungarians,
as in Central Asia. The skin splinter system of Hungarians has Central
Asian characteristic (low bend rates, but high vortices). The Gm-marker research pointed out that the Gm abst and
Gm afb3 gene markers occurring among Hungarians are missing among other
European populations. International Mitochondrial
DNA research has also
recently identified additional Central Asian characteristics among
Hungarians.
István Kiszely points out in his work "Of
Hungarian Man",
that anthropology verifies that Hungarians can't be considered as a
typical European, genetically homogeneous nation. As he writes,
Hungarians are Eurasian. The language and the spiritual and material
culture of our settlement is second in importance compared to the
results of anthropology and genetics.
The basic concept of anthropology is that there are specific
characteristics of people common in specific groups.
This means not a well definable group in the case of
Hungarians, but five major groups at least, as István Kiszely mentions:
- Turanid
type. The old country of these people is the Heart of Asia, East
Turkestan; this type is common among the graves in Astana
from the 3rd century CE. The most Western (Northern and Southern)
appearance of this type is in the Carpathian
Basin in Europe,
having 30-35% of occurrence in the population of Hungary.
Anthropologist Lajos Bartucz writes: «The type of the Hungarian Plain
can be considered as the "Hungarian type" most likely, being the most
numerous and goes back to the settling Hungarians.»
- The
old country of the Pamiro-Ferganian, Central Asian, Mesopotamian,
or Anatolian Type is the area of Pamir,
Tien-Shan, Altai, Central Asia and the Iranian
Highland. This type of people were buried in Central Asian Astana and Ordos.
The type reached the Carpathian
Basin with the Huns
first, then with Avars and Hungarians. This is a characteristic type of
the ploughmen of the Hungarian Plain having 10-15% of occurrence
in the Carpathian Basin.
- Taurid
(Caucasian) Type characterizes Turkish, Scythian, Sarmatian and
Yazig nations partially, occurring among Hungarians in 5-8%
from the Hunnish times through Avars and settlement even today, however
in the Kiskunság, this rate can easily go up to 14%. The old
Country of this type is Asia Minor, the Caucasus,
old Mesopotamia, Persia
and the Iranian Highland.
- North
Baltic, or Eastern European type characterizes the people of the
Eastern European Plains, where the fathers of Hungarians, Pechenegs,
Kuns, Yazigs went through. Being not common in the old quarters of the
Hungarians could come from the Levedian and Etelköz quarters by mixture
and join in. This type occurs in 8-10% rate, but in Palócland can
reach 35% because of mixing with Slavic population. A specific
variant of this type is the Pontus
type.
- Uralic,
or Ugric Type characterizes Finnougrian nations, coming from the
area between Urals and river Sayan. It?s first occurrence among
Hungarians can be proven from the 10th century CE in rate 0.6% also
today, that means that Hungarians really went through over
Finnougrian lands, but this population played no important role in
shaping the ethnic picture of Hungarians, to look for the Hungarian old
country among Finnougrian nations is unscientific. The Mongoloid
elements of the Hungarians come from this group mainly.
| The Mongoloid marker genes found in
Hungarians by Hideo Matsumoto can also be find among Southern and Central Italians (in Sicilians and Sardinians more
exactly), but also presented in Catalonians and in
the tribal societies of Madyha
Pradesh and Orissan states of India. The rate of
the mongoloid markers however still not really prove the Mongoloid
origin of the Hungarians, rather speaking of a closer daily
relationship and that part of the Hungarians are really Mongoloid in
origin. |

This fact also seems to be
proven by archeaological evidences. Between 2500 and 1600 B.C. a
new ethnic formation bringing higher form of culture appearing on
steppes from south-western direction introducing agriculture and the
animal-domestication, as well as the knowledge of metal-procession
(Randa, A.: “Handbuch der Weltgeschichte”, 1954, cited by 31.,). As the
final result of establishment of “Lapis Lazuri Road” we may find in
Central Asia - in nothern and western borders of that huge territory,
which became China later on - the formation of a Scythian Empire. It
was the confederation of smaller feudal kingdoms and smaller
town-states - just as the former Sumerian Empire of the ancient
Mesopotamia was the confederation of the smaller town-states. This
empire was composed by Europid Scythians, to which the Mongoloid type
added, and became the examplary of the Nordic-Scythic-Mongoloid
symbiosis.
It was the Hunnish Empire.
Chinese anthropologists digged out more than 100 mummified Europid
corpses in East Turan (Xinjiang), significant part of them are blonde,
each of them as old as the mummies of ancient Egypt are. Prof. Mair
informed us, that these “Indo-Europeans” came from Scandinavia and
Germany to teach the usage of wheel for Chinese around 1200 B.C.,
although the truth is written down by a Hungarian-born American
anthropologist Izabella Horvath (70., 9) based on the research of Han
Kangxin. Accordingly, the mummies belong not to West-European types,
rather are the caracteristicals of the Scythians of Asia and they are
similar to the Siberian population between 3000-1000 B.C. Mair forgot
also, that the wheel was known in the Yangshao-culture of China 5000
years ago, so it not came from Europe. The mummies belong to the
proto-Hunnish culture, as it is established by Prof. Wu En and became
written in a new article (71., 95-108), then it became conluded (72.,
46-49) basing mostly on the research of Prof. Han Kangxin. According to
it, the area has no human remains from the Paleolithic Age, so the
earliest inhabitants are incomers. As the result of examinations of the
3800 years old mummies digged out in East Turan (Xinjiang), we can be
sure, that the proto-European racial type reached the area in this
period, or maybe earlier. The bones digged out belong to the
Andronovo-culture, which gave the inhabitants of Central Asia, South
Siberia and Kazahstan between 2000-1000 B.C., and to that
Afanastyevo-culture, which gave the inhabitants of between the upper
region of Yenisei and Altai, hence these Turanian remains are the
eastward elongation of the most ancient European racial type. In the
B.C. period a Caucasoid people close to the East-Mediterranean race
(also called Indo-Afghan type) reached Eastern Turan immigrating from
West to East reaching Lop Nor and Tien Shan. An other racial type
caracterised by the short skull-form close to the Pamir-Ferghana type
appeared at the upper part of the Ili River 3000 years ago, showing the
mix of the Mongoloid and East-Mediterranian races. Finally the question
can be rised: where we can find the descendants of the inhabitants of
ancient East Turan (Xinjiang)? If we take a glance to the Uygurs,
Kazakhs, Uzbegs and Tartars, who are living there today, many of them
has obvious Caucasoid facial features, but there is a people in
Middle-Europe, which is close racially to the ancient inhabitants of
East Turan (Xinjiang). They are the Hungarians. To the territory of
Hungary the Huns arrived at 374 from East Turan (Xinjiang), where they
established the center of their huge empire. The Avars, the once strong
North-Chinese Rourans also arrived here at 567, then an other Oriental
people, the Hungarians also came here at 896. Pál Lipták Hungarian
anthropologist digging out bones of 9th century established, that the
local inhabitants of Hungary of that period had 24% Turanian racial
type, 20% Pamirian type and other 2-3% belonged to the early Asian
types. According to anthropologists, the Turanian type is the mixture
of Andronovo and Mongoloid races. The Pamirian type was an important
ancient race of East Turan, while the earlier Asian types means an
other European type came into existence in Asia. This is the clear
evidence, that the 9th century Hungarians had blood-relations with the
best archaic inhabitants of Northwestern China. According to Henkey
(61.,), the present Hungarian racial type is basically the same as it
was in the 9th century, because the bulk of settlers from South-Germany
c. 300 years ago belonged to Hun and Avar types and most of them are
also the result of Scythoid-Nordic-Mongoloid intermixture.
Hungarians had to come from Central
Asia or had to be in contact with the Central Asian nations to the
genetic results, also supporting the concepts based on
historical reports, that the main groups of the people forming the
Hungarian nations had to be somewhere in the land of the Fertile
Crescent and Central Asia, among Sumerians, Sabir, As-Alans, Yazigs,
and their descendants.
The results also prove the possible role of Hungarians in the
Mediterranean expansions from the Eastern banks to West, explaining the
Tzekel-Sicul-Székely similarities and the possible Etruscan connection.
To the Mongoloid genes our fathers reached also the Western part of the
Iberian Peninsula, founding Catalonia (the land of Kat-Alans) where
also a location can be find: Sabadell, meaning "place of Sabbath", that
is exactly the same with the Hungarian city Szombathely ("place of
Sabbath"), called Sabaria (City of Sabirs) in the Roman times. The name
of the Catalan city also can mean "free place" ("Szabadhely") in
Hungarian
Genetic researches also
brought a not well documented result.
A gene was found by researchers defined as characterizing Jews, the
descendants of Aaron and Moses more exactly. This gene was called
"Cohen Modal Haplotype", or the "Levite Gene" .
The results of the researches didn't prove the expectations
completely. The result was that this CMH is most common among Southern and Central Italians, Hungarians and Iraqi Kurds, also found among many Armenians and South African Lembas, but it's
existence among Jews was also pointed out.
Now, this list also contains the Southern and Central Italians. The
similarities of the two genes (Mongoloid and CMH) can harder explained
by coincidence than if only one, the relation is inevitable, especially
considering also the ethnographical, cultural and folkloristic
elements. But this also means that these nations have to be connected
to the Jews.
If this is fact, as it was published in many international magazines,
would this mean that the old Romanian dictator Ceausescu was right
calling Hungarians as the "Jews of the Carpathians"? Would we have more
to do with Jews as we think?
The Questions to be Explained:
If CMH characterize Jews (Semites in wider sense), than
Hungarians, Sicilians, Sards and Kurds have to be kept as Jews,
including Armenians (being also blessed with kind neighborhood, calling
Armenians simply as "Jews of the Caucasus")
and the Lembas. Many works published in the topic of Lembas pointing out
many similarities, between their traditions and laws and of the Torah.
The idea of Kurds being an old Hungarian tribe forgetting their
language in the mids of Arabs could be proven this way. The name of the
Caucasian location Qud-Makar of the historical report could refer to
this relation, however this is just an idea only.
But, also the Jewish traditions of origin should be doubted this way,
having Hungarians not as foreigners but as brothers, even considering
Hungarians as fathers of the Levitic priesthood, based on the original
concept!
Historical fact, that Egyptians were
really in fear of some Habiru attacking them often. Their clothing was
similar to the settling Hungarians. The Avar identity of these Habiru
was already proven, and their name appears in the form of
Avar-Abir/Apir-Habir these times. These Avars built Avaris and Tana is
(the Town of Tana) in the Nile Delta, going onward to West most likely.
However Egyptians also had some success in counterattacks.
If this skillful architecture nation,
building cities in Syria
and Kanaan down to the Nile Delta, was so strong, would it be
impossible, that their children were murdered by the order of the
Pharaoh? As their multiplication in the most fruitful part of the
country is actually a red alert politically, than the sons of some
shepherd nations settling in the same area that time. Also possible
that the foremather is the same in both cases, the biblical Ever (Genesis 10:24,25.), whose
name is written the same as the name of Ivris, or Avirs, namely "alef",
"vav", "resh", but this can be also a coincidence only.
History already proved the Biblical account
(Exodus 12:38.), that the nation led by Moses was more mixed than
to be Hebrew (Ivri, better to say) only. There were Ivri staying,
and also not Ivris following Moses. This is all to the Bible.
The concept deriving the 12 Israeli (not only Hebrew-Ivri!) tribes,
and handling them as a homogenous nation as it is so common among
European nations for the sake of ennoblement is false also according to the Bible.
When the Israeli nation became reality to the history by
settling in Canaan in about 1200 BCE means the easy-tight covenant of
12, partially Southern ("Egyptian"), partially Eastern ("Mesopotamian")
and partially native ("Canaanite") tribes to an external observer
having the sanctuary of Jahweh in Shiloh as centre. Watching over the
sanctuary was the task and privilege of the branch Cohen of the tribe
Levi specialized to priestly role, deriving themselves from Aaron (the
brother of Moses and famous first priest). Some of them settled around
the sanctuary, while the rest wandered around the land as mass-priest,
playing important role in keeping the nomadic traditions of the Yahweh
cult and in joining and spreading of tribal traditions.
When Assyrian
came to power creating the first empire comprising the whole
Fertile Crescent, they deported about 30000 people from the land of
Israel (the Northern 10 Tribes) to the Sefardians and vice-versa and
the sons of both nations South, Southwest to the Caspian Sea going
ahead of a possible alliance and rebellion. These people and their
descendants then moved toward East and North East following the old
route of lapis lazuli meeting with the former Sumerian colonies, those
became Turks, Hungarians. They were welcome finding friends, relatives
among them, where the Jewish culture could begin to flourish, as the
concept of the nations of the area was, that I can learn from others
being more even myself. Cities Samarkand
and Bukhara are the best
examples becoming famous centers of the Jewish culture in Central
Asia.
The analysis of the nations mentioned in the CMH report shows that
they once lived together in the past in the same region called Urartu.
Following the collapse of the Hittite Empire, the kingdom of
Urartu have emerged around the Lake
Van in eastern Turkey. Urartians have formed a state by absorbing
Hurrians who were their relatives
and living in the Lake Van region. Urartian kingdom based in their
capital Tushpa on the shore of Lake Van, has covered a large territory
extending from Caspian Sea and southern Caucasus to eastern and
southeastern Anatolia and also northeastern Mesopotamia. In the 13th C.
BCE., Urartians have formed two separate small kingdoms, Uriatri and
Nairi. The name Uriatri, in Assyrian language means " Mountainous Area
", a description that fits perfectly the geographical features of this
area. In the Assyrian annals, this area and Lake Van are referred to as
"Nairi Lands" and "The Lake Nairi".
Sefardians lived
on the Western part of the country according to the Bible. The name reminds me to the names Saparda or Sabir especially considering the
fact that in the time of Biblical report no vowels were used in the
texts (this is still not too common today as their identification by
dots and commas is also not "too old"), the only sure thing of the
sounding of the name is that their name is signed by the string "SPRD"
or "SPhRD", that considering grammatical and auditorical distortions
can also be "SBRD" or "SVRD". These last variants concur coincidally
with the tongues "SVRD" of the self-identificatory name "Savard" of
Hungarians reported by Constantinus Porphyrogenus.
The Eastern border of this empire was Media, where Kurds lived, while
Armenians on the North in the Caucasus.
If this would be valid, than CMH had to be called as Urartu Gene
rather, or considering the rates as Nemere
or Nimrod Gene with a bit
exagerration as a typical Hungaricum, as the forefather of Alans, Huns
and Hungarians is the same person, Tana or Etana, who is Nimrod.
Now,
the sound logic tells that this new gene should be a considered as a
common characteristic of all Sumerian originated nations, based on the
facts that CMH - Nemere gene is the only genetically most
characterizing thing of Hungarians, while all other antropological
signs are shared, and our Asian origin is inevitable. This could
underline the toughts of the colonization,
wandering and moving of Sumerians by Zoltán Lépő, also underlining
the explanation of the fresces of Tree
of Life with Lion in the Chapell - Throneroom of the castle
Esztergom.
Sabirs (ancestors of Hungarians) and Hebrews lived
together on their old and new lands this way, they had to live together
bringing along intermarriages and the interaction of cultures.
After all, based also on genetic evidences, the statement can be made
that Hungarians have really less to do with the Finnougrian nations,
but many thing to do with Near East
and Central Asia than what
today's official theory claims.
There also can be truth behind the idea of looking Hungarians among the
first settlers of the Mediterranean
Basin .
And over all, have
countless binds to Kurds, Southern and Central Italians, Catalans,
Armenians, and what this article is all about to Jews... based also by the Mongoloid and "Cohenim" genes.
