Were the Magyars Huns? or The possible and mysterious bias of Wikipedia about Huns, Part 1
Posted: 12 Jan 2023, 00:08
''The origin of the Huns and their relationship to other peoples identified in ancient sources as Iranian Huns such as the Xionites, the Alchon Huns, the Kidarites, the Hephthalites, the Nezaks, and the Huna, has been the subject of long-term scholarly controversy.''

Hello everyone. Now when my job streak is nearly over, I want to bring attention to one thing that has been on my mind for a long time. As those who have read my (loooong) introduction (viewtopic.php?t=8) and are aware of my main focus, there is one thing above other historical matters which hasn't had the attention it deserves. Before going any further, I want to ask straight away from those who have been digging about the subject I'm going through after, because I myself have been to busy with other things. Two questions:
#1: Are there any worthy studies regarding Hungarian history? Please recommend me some if you have looked into some.
#2: Do you know any books about Huns and/or Chinese history worth reading?Are you familiar of other writings similar to the production by Albert Terrien de Lacouperie? Please recommend me some.
Like the title suggests, I'm sharing my confusion about the blank concerning the contact of Europe and far East, but for now mainly relying to Wikipedia, because my attention is also drawn to its curious attitude to the whole subject. While I became aware of this one thing through mr. Ott sharing knowledge about this in web, I'm also mentioning the lecture ''Catastrophe & Chronology'' by Gunnar Heinsohn (See it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=nhh6GNhPknU), for the following thing and this one are propably(?) heavily affiliated with each other.
I'm going to build upon this subject very soon, because the Chinese history (what we are led to believe in this day and age), in itself, has some points here and there that put ephasis why the subject I'm going through might be very important.
I'm indeed heavily interested in Bock saga and been looking into it for couple of years for now, so while digging into this following subject, it would be dishonest of me not stating my agenda. This is my view at this moment, and it may change, but for now:
OL shows hints that Bock saga's story about 3 arctic races is indeed correct. In OL: Finns (''Finland'' not mentioned), FINNA HÉTEN, Sven-land, SKÉN.LAND and DÉNNEMARKUM, Danmark. If Fryas are an off-shoot of the folk of Danmark, for there's only slight implying it being so if not only very subjective possibility made in translation and at least no mention when this off-shoot happened, but other than that there's actually no confusion regarding these similarities in mythology, as far as I have been reading.
The OL mentions that Magyars and Finns are a separate folk, but if this is so, there comes a very heavy question at play, that Asha Logos has already brought to our attention, who were the Magyars? Norse Edda talks about a war between Æsir and Vanir, that could possibly refer to the war between white aser-vaners and dark vaners mentioned in the Bock saga (I think it is mentioned in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP3zGCJdCrQ&t=1127s) after the 2nd Ragnarök, which in this context has to be Finns vs. Piking-people, which resulted as Mongol people. The confusion shows itself when we look into the attitudes of the mainstream academia saying that ''Huns'' came, compared to a time thousands years ago, much much later, if we are to bring up the fact that how much devastation the caused.
Concerning Bock saga; It's just a guess, but because in both Bock saga and OL the women were the handlers of the education (in Bock saga, women understood the Mis-steries, men, His-stories), the aim of the Magyars was most likely to displace the female idols (that meaning, Svan, Ella and Maj) with themselves, stealing their knowledge and status and make them work for the Magyars (See [OL 35 and 38]). If this was the case, similarities between the culture of Bock saga and the Magyars should be observed this point in mind. The name ''Magus'' (MAGÍ) is fairly similar with Maj, the female ''virgin'' aser idol for the vaner.

Lets start by quoting the latest english translation of OL with highlighted litteration of the codex:
[OL 51]
1. THAT FOLK NAS NAVT NE WILD LIK FÉLO SLACHTA FINDA.S ...
THA PRESTERA SEND THA EN’GOSTA HÉRA HJA HÉTON HJARA SELVA MÁGJARA.
This folk was not wild like many of Finda’s tribes, ...
The priests are the only masters — they call themselves Magyars. ...
2. HJARA ALLER OVIRSTE HÉT MAGÍ.
The supreme one is called Magus. ...
3. ALLET ÔRE FOLK IS NUL IN.T SIFFER ÀND ÉLLIK ÀND AL VNDER HJARA WELD.
THÀT FOLK NETH NAVT ÉNIS EN NÔME. THRVCH VS SEND HJA FINNA HÉTEN
All other folk count for nothing and are entirely under their rule.
They do not even have a name(?), but we call them Finns, ...
Please note:
''These Majgars are a type of the Turks. Their leader rides out with 20,000 warriors. This leader they call künde [kende]. This is the title of the greater of their kings. That leader who appoints the functionaries they call jula [jole]. What the jula commands, the Majgars do.'' (F)inna, Julla?
— Gardizi, 11th-century Persian historian
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyula_(ti ... th_century
There is ''this folk'', priests - Magyars (1.), leader of Magyars - Magus (2.), and then there are ''all other folk'' - including Finns (3.), that are under ''their'' rule - those who call themselves Magyars (1.). Please note that Finns are called ''other folk'' (3.), and Magyars are refered as Finda's tribe (1.), being separate folks; it is not specified, but could it be that the connection between Fryas and Finns is still an open question? Please note, that Magyars are noted being unlike other tribes of Finda (1.), so this means that the the concept of priests are not synonymous with Magyars. Still, not much is explained further about Finns, even though the matter of priests is in itself likewise an open question also:
[OL 51] THAT FOLK NAS NAVT NE WILD LIK FÉLO SLACHTA FINDA.S MEN É.LIK ANDA ÉGIPTA.LANDAR. HJA HÀVATH PRESTERA LIK THAM.
This folk was not wild like many of Finda’s tribes, but similar to the Egyptians. They have priests like them, ...
[OL 60] THA GOLA. ALSA HÉTON THA SÀNDALINGA.PRESTERA SÍDON.IS.
The Gools, as the missionary priests of Sidon were called, ...
[OL 68] HI STEK THUS MITH SINUM FLÁTE NÉI LYDJA. ... THÉR WILDON THA SWARTA MÀNNISKA FÁTA HJAM ÀND ÉTA
... MEN MIN.ERVA SÉIDE HALD OF HWAND HIR IS THJU LOFT ÔLANGNE VRPEST THRVCH THA PRESTERA.
Thus, he crossed over with his fleet to Lydia, ... There, the black people wanted to capture and eat them.
... (but) Minerva said: “Hold off, for the air here has long been contaminated by the priests.”
When I have been reading the translation of the OL I've started to get the impression how priesthood seems to be somekind of phenomena emerging from corruption, relating to enslavement. This, instead of Finda being a unified force with a common agenda. The fact that priesthood appears among Magyars, Egyptians, Gools and other unmentioned tribes of Lydia, this seems to be the case. It seems as if Bock saga's story about the cult of Ukko has not made it into the OL at all, as if it never affected Fryas, which is not completely impossible considering the folk that surrounded their lands (See [OL 49]) might have blocked them. Could it be that the OL mentions modern populance of Finland with a name that we still have difficulties connecting to through etymology and other methods of study? What if the burg Walhalla (WALHALLAGÁRA) with its seven island is the Bock saga's seven islands?
Moving on! Then, who are the Magyars, and could they be the populace later described as Huns?
Let's see what internet has to say about the subject:
''During the 4th millennium BC, the Uralic-speaking peoples who were living in the central and southern regions of the Urals split up. ... From at least 2000 BC onwards, the Ugric-speakers became distinguished from the rest of the Uralic community, of which the ancestors of the Magyars, being located farther south, were the most numerous.''

Q: Is there any ethimological connection between Hun and Han?
''Do you mean etymological connection? If yes, then I think there is no such connection. ...
But ethnological connection between Hun and Han? I would say practically nil. They were two distinct ethnic groups. It is generally believed that the Huns were descendants of Xiongnu or Hungno. Some even think the Hungarians were somehow linked to them. But the Han people were definitely the natives living along the Yellow River from time immemorial. While the Hans have been an agrarian people all along, the Xiongnus or the Huns were nomadic or horse-back people.'' - Carl C, Quora

Q: Are Mongolian Khan, Korean Han (韓), and Chinese Han (漢) related in etymology?
''Mongolian Khan and Korean Han share the same origin, both meaning stood for “great.” The Korean title Han had already come into being in the Three Hans period (三韓). After Chinese characters were introduced to Korea, the character 韓 was borrowed for the sound.
The Chinese word 漢 could be related to these two, and might’ve come from a dead Central Asian language earlier in the Neolithic period (10,000–4,500 BC). The word 漢 also meant “great” or “greatness” originally. The Han River 漢江 literally meant “the Great River” in Old Chinese. Due to association with this river, the word Han in Chinese became the territory around the Han river, which then became the name of a particular dynasty whose founder was given land in the area.'' - Anymous commenter, Quora

''The origin of the term (Khan) is disputed and unknown, possibly a loanword from the Ruanruan language.'' (wtf...)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_(title)#Etymology
''The first data of the title, recorded by Ibn Rusta and Gardizi, can be traced back to the earlier works of Abu Abdallah al-Jayhani. According to these earliest pieces of evidence, the Hungarians were ruled conjointly by two ‘kings’. The major one, called kende (or künde), enjoyed nominal leadership, while effective power was exercised by his colleague, inferior in rank, called the gyula. This peculiar form of governance (‘dual kingship’) is generally supposed to have been imitative of the Khazar Khaganate, which did indeed have a similar organization.''

To apply to the present confusion, considering the Magyars were most likely a folk that worked along with trade:
''What does han mean in Turkish?''
https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-m ... e5dd6.html
The term seems quite broad. Many well known caravanserais' names have the word ''Khan'' or ''Han'' in them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravanse ... avanserais
The conclusion: It seems clear to me that the whole eastern part of the continent was very connected all over for long periods of time so it is hard to make distinct differences from one group from another, yet according to Wikipedia huns ''came out of nowhere'' in the year 370, but this is based on an attitude that Magyars were not related to Huns, and even that Huns' relations don't reach all the way to the far corner of the East. This remains debated...
Consider all of this, while looking into these subjects, that connect the Middle-East and Far-East together:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 4399666349
Also, OL in itself doesn't imply that ''Finns'' were part of the tribe of Finda, and separates them from the Magyars, whatever relation they may have, other than that Magyars had some unnamed folk under their rule, called Finns. Indeed, this rises much questions about them, besides the cult of Ukko in Bock saga and also the Magyars - why are these all covered by fog?
I'm ending this one with some sillyness:
Here is an interesting possible explanation to the eastern part of Finland called ''Karjala'' in finnish, Karelia. Karja means cattle in finnish. As I have understood it, in the Genesis in the Old Testament, ''cattle'' was at times synonymous with ''tribe'':
''Caria was a region of western Anatolia extending along the coast from mid-Ionia (Mycale) south to Lycia and east to Phrygia. The Ionian and Dorian Greeks colonized the west of it and joined the Carian population in forming Greek-dominated states there. Carians were described by Herodotus as being of Minoan descent, ...''
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caria
''It is not clear when the Carians enter into history. The definition is dependent on corresponding Caria and the Carians to the "Karkiya" or "Karkisa" mentioned in the Hittite records.''
