I love this channel so much...
Göktürk but no turkish sub? Funny!
Cant wait for you guys to point out the Khazar larping jews
Thanks for the video like always :) , just one question for the grey wolf legend, i know a lage on facebook that speaks about turkic history, it is run by a turkmen guy and he posts in both turkish and arabic, and he said that the legend of the grey wolf goes on like this: that the turks were initially a bunch of disunited tribes and were at some occasion on the verge of extinction at the hands of the chinese( in some other sources other nomadic tribes) so they escaped to a mounatnious region but their enemies blocked their exitz so they had to remain there for a few years were they united and began developping a sens of unity and one day one of their men followed a grey wolf during his hunt until he managed to find another exit and thus the legend of the grey wolf and the bearth of the göktürks. So do you know anything about it ? The page's name is Turkmenistan but it would be easier to write the name in arabic تركمانستان you will find that way easier. Thanks again in advance.
Boy: Nursed to health by a she wolf
Me:”Hey this sounds a lot like the Roman origin myth, that’s really interesting”
Boy: Bangs the she wolf
Me: :/
Very Indo-European.
Yeah, I was like “excuse-me whaaaaat?!”
Ah so the Gokturks are furries, interesting.
I think the one doing the job was the wolf :D cause according to one of the Chinese utterance of the boy in the legend boys limbs were cut off and left to death

I'm kyrgyz and I'm really proud of it, that till this day we saved our nation, identity, history throughout thousands of years and despite of all these wars
@Shalom Canom Men Amucanum persian perspective.
The first Communists invented the name "Kyrgyz". This is the lie of the communists. You must say that you are a Turk because you are a Turk, and if you deny it, do not own our ancestors!
@@bwkvy7112 apparently y are mixing us up with kazakhs. Communists named them as "kazakh" in order to differ them from kyrgyz people.
there are many turkic nations like: kazakh, uzbek, tajik and etc and i can't call myself just as"turk", bc the difference between turkic nations is obvious(difference in culture, language, appearance). More than that, before communists came to our lands we have had many bloody wars with our neighbor kazakh nation.
And there's such thing as a history. Name "kyrgyz" mentioned in different ancient artifacts that were found in Siberia, China, Arabic countries.
Among all of the turkic nations, kyrgyz have longest history(since 800BC) as per Chinese sources
@@Barakelde__kg In other words, it is a communist game made to separate Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Azeri, Uzbek, Turkmen, us Turks. There is no such thing as a Kyrgyz. There are Kyrgyz Turks and others like him. Look at the history, we Turks, our first ruler Alper Tunga and our ruler lived 2000 years ago and we are a Turkish ruler. Mete Han, Attila, Bilge Kagan, these rulers are all Turks. We see them as our ancestors. Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.

@@aysseralwan I appreciate your pun my bru
Is this chinese sponsored?? Due it is really hard to understand why they used only chinese sources while there are written Turkic sources about Göktürks like Orkhon Inscriptions!! And many more oral Turkic sagas about Göktürks and the origin of Turks like Oghuz Khagan saga which is proven that it is legit:
''In scientific literature, the name of Maodun is usually associated with Oguz Kagan, an epic ancestor of the Turkic people. The reason for that is a striking similarity of the Oguz-Kagan biography in the Turko-Persian manuscripts (Rashid al-Din, Hondemir, Abulgazi) with the Maodun biography in the Chinese sources (feud between the father and son and murder of the former, the direction and sequence of conquests, etc.), which was first noticed by N.Ya. Bichurin''
In Oghuz Khagan saga Maodun is indeed described as a supernatural person who had a bull's foots, a wolf's back, a sable's shoulders and a bear's chest that he started to ride when he was 40 days old but as everybody can easily understand this is just symbolic and showing that Maodun was Tengri's chosen one with holy strength!! But i guess chinese historians who had no idea about Tengrism and high from opium thought that his father impregnated a wolf, LMAO!! Seriously only using chinese sources is a crime against humanity as there are so many nonsenses in them...

Hungarians are not Turks. You do realise that one of the most common charge in Hungarian heraldry is the decapitated head of a Turk, sometimes several heads skewered on a sword.
_"Your bey-like sons became slaves; your lady-like daughters became servants"_ that's from the same exact ancient Turkic inscription named *Orkhon Inscriptions* which was written with Turkic runes and written by *Kül Tigin,* the brother of *Bilge Khagan of the Second Turkic Khaganate.*

Hello from kyrgyz to my brothers ✊🏻🇰🇬
*I'm honestly quite surprised that not many people in the west know of the Gokturks, it's a crying shame really.*
Unlike the Seljuks and Ottoman Turks the Gokturks didn't have much of an impact on the West
@@bluemountain4181
It's a shame they didn't even know it, even in the Greek sources, where it was one of the most powerful states of its time.
Is the term of Tujue more accurate, since Gokturks was created in order to connect modern Turkey with ancient nomadic people of Tujue with clear political agenda.
@@dannykwan7581 The real name of the state was "Turk/ish-ic Khaganate". Romans, Sogdians, Persians and Indians called it so. Tujue-Tukue is the Chinese version.
Why would they, they didnt know of China or other Great Empires in the East either for a long time.
What about Bilge Khan ? And Orkhon Inscriptions ? You didn't talk about them.
Ergenekon too
hey, this about their rise, the first khaganate. though popular among turks, bilge was somewhat a jerk. if not were for ton yukuk, he would make chinese all turks.

@@evranirnek You say that like it's a bad thing :D
Actually that name 'Ilterish' is a title, which means 'unifier of the realm' (il = realm + termek/dermek = to gather -> ilterish). His real name is Kutluk. Just like Genghiz Khan being Temujin in his early years.
Awasome video as always, waiting for Khazars with great interest. Thank you.

And Kutluk means "the blessed (by Tengri)" - see "Bayramınız kutlu olsun"

All jokes aside according the tengrism the she wolf is Ashina(Ashkena) and in fact she is a wolf goddes not a mere wolf and she has wolf form as well as human form.

@Shem Naga because Turks and Mongols has same ancestors > Xioungnu(Asian Huns), you dumb ignorant fuck
@anıl yüksel no my brother, it's kinda reverse, because many places in East Kazakhstan have Mongolian names. For example lake Zaisan. The reason of that is Eastern Kazakhstan was Zuungar's (Left Hand in Mongolian) original land and Zuungar was destroyed by Manchu in XVII century. But all names in Western Mongolia have pure Mongolian names!
@@anlyuksel2194 Honestly we don't know. It's safe to say that ancestors of Mongols and Turks were the same group or it was a confederation of nomadic groups. Because of Chinese Divide and Conquer strategy, these nomadic people were busy fighting each other but lexicon, cultural exchanges were extensive. If you visit Mongolia, it's true that many mountains and rivers have NOT Turkish but Turkic names. Not only that, Turkic words are also extensively penetrated Mongolian language. For a native Turk, learning Mongolian can be easy because of the similar grammar structure and shared vocabularies.
A video about the military technologies of the steppe? f.e. their bows, sabers, saddles, armour, etc

I'm glad you said the Rouran remnants "possibly" became the Pannonian Avars. It's possible some remnants of Rouran did indeed reach the Balkans and became the core of the ruling class of the Avar state. Or that they pushed other nomadic tribes westwards ahead of them and those tribes became the Avar ruling class. Or a mixture of both. Nomadic states were never in any sense ethnically "pure." A tribe would rise to prominence, conquer other tribes and incorporate the conquered tribes into itself or become the leading tribe in a new confederation that had a new name. It's probable that most of the tribes/people under Rouran rule remained in Place under Göktürk rule. It's care with details like that which make this channel one, if not the, best historical channel on Yotube.

Thank you for using GökTürk in your videos. Steppe History is another pleasure to watch from you. I wonder about the Khazars.
The artwork in these videos is amazing!!!
I quite like the Orkhon Inscription(which you mention in passing in the vid) that goes into how the Turks faired in dealings with the chinese after Taizong flexed on them(since they still stuck around as vassals to the Tang for a while). There are a lot of cool inscriptions on the Orkhon valley monument in general though I think this one just sounds cool and has some interesting subject matter and ideas on it.
"Because of want of harmony between the begs and the people, and because of the Chinese people's cunning and craft and its intrigues, and because the younger and the elder brothers chose to take counsel against one another and bring discord between begs and people, they brought the old realm of the Turkic people to dissolution, and brought destruction on its lawful kagans. The sons of the nobles became the bondsmen of the Chinese people, their unsullied daughters became its slaves. The Turkic begs gave up their Turkic names, and bearing the Chinese names of Chinese begs they obeyed the Chinese Emperor, and served him during fifty years. For him they waged war in the East towards the sun's rising, as far as Bokli kagan, in the West they made expeditions as far as Taimirkapig; for the Chinese Emperor they conquered kingdoms and power. The whole of the common Turkic people said thus: 'I have been a nation that had its own kingdom; where is now my kingdom? For whom do I win the kingdoms? said they. I have been a people that had its own kagan; where is my kagan? Which kagan is it I serve?'
Hope you do the Uyghur Khaganate eventually too, or at least make a vid talking about all the various Central/East Asian steppe tribes instead of going all in on the western steppes.
Even cooler, Taimirkapig can be translated as Iron Gates
@@yohopirate actually iron doors
One interesting event I've encountered during the Shanghai expo was that a full sized replica of Kul Tigin inscription, one of orkhon inscriptions was placed at the entrance hall of the Turkish pavilion, one side was old Chinese writings and turkic on the other side, however, one who has a bit of knowledge about it knows that the contents are totally different. It felt like such a joke to me.
While Turks portray Tang Chinese as cunning, there are Chinese people that say Tang dynasty ruling family was not Han but Mongolic/Turkic.
Tang Taizong's grandmother was Mongolic (Xianbei) and his mother was from a mixed Xianbei-Han family/clan as well. Those were official Tang records. The Tang official records say his paternal lineage is Han, but according to local records from where he came from, the family/clan of his surname was mixed. Some modern people speculate that he is actually Mongolic/Turkic, and he simply pretend to be Han to make ruling/conquering rest of China easier. He forced his father to step down so he could become emperor, which is not very Confucian. He is also a blood brother with a Turk from the Ashina tribe. His mausoleum also has numerous depictions of horses, which was atypical for people identifying as Han Chinese, as horse riding has historically been considered barbaric by Han Chinese.

"To the East I have made campaigns as far as the Shantung plain, and almost reached the sea; to the South I have made campaigns as far as Tokuz-Ersin and almost reached Tibet; to the West I have made campaigns beyond Yenchii-Iigiiz (Pearl River) as far as Timir-Kapig (The Iron Gate); to the North I have made campaigns as far as the land of the Yer-Bayirku's. To all these lands have I led (the Turks). The forest of Mount Otiikin has no [foreign] overlord; the forest of Mount Otiikin is the place where the kingdom is held together."
Bilge Kaghan (Orkhon inscriptions)
You have forgotten to mention the two important personality in Turkic Khaganate.
Bilge Khagan and his adviser Tonyukuk.
Great video !
Yeah I was surprised they didn't at least mention Bilge Khagan. Seems a little too important to just leave out.
@@ahumpierrogue137 Exactly !
@@ahumpierrogue137 I think the time he is talking about is just a little earlier than when Bilge Kaan And Vizier Tonyukuk were a thing. If I am not mistaken there isn't just one Orkhon scripture stone, more was added later on by other Kaan's and Bilge Kaan's was one of those.

I'm learning so much. The voiceover compliments the content perfectly.
Kings and general your on fire incredible documentaries one after the other
Now you know why Turks were sharing all those weird House Stark memes all over the internet couple of years ago
You are the reason I even open UA-cam half the time kings 👍
When Byzantium was friends with Turks
@TheGreaterGood80 The reason Turks later invaded/conquered the westerlands was mostly droughts and other natural causes, steppes just could not support so many people, plus the Chinese preassure of course. So it's not just Islam. More like Turks converted to Islam when moving westwards.
@TheGreaterGood80 Islam is evil and that's a fact.
yet Western Göktürks still captured Crimea from the Byzantines

Why don't you look like Mongols then?
@@cyrusdrawsstuff8916 Turks were mix of Indo Europeans, Ugorics and Turkics even in ancient times. Check the Tocharians, Andronovo culture, Scythians etc... All nomads unified under Turkic identity during ancient times. Even Gokturks were 40% East Asian & Siberian (Search Gokturks dna sample). And today Oghuz Turks (Azerbaijani Turks, Turkish, Gaguzians, Turkmens, Salars) are very similar to each other by genetically. They are majority West Eurasian and minority East Eurasian.
@@youngerpierce no they don't, because azeris have 80 to 90 percent Iranic genetics an 10 to 20 percent genetics from central Asia
@@cyrusdrawsstuff8916 Lmao what? There is no such a gene like Iranic or Central Asian. Even Iranians are not pure. Azerbaijani Turks are similar to Turkmens from Central Asian rather than Persians.
My tribe was called "Bozok" among the turks. We are currently living in the west of Azerbaijan. Tengri Menen, Brothers! Auuuuuuuu says the she wolf. Bye.

Love each and every upload of yours! I noticed how you mentioned both Romans and Persians as Western civilizations, just like there is no "West" with its glory without the work of other civilizations, there is no Persia with its glory without the "Western" civilizations accepting and improving upon what Persia and also others created. Amazing work as always KNG!

Love your videos they are keeping my interest in history alive. Also would you ever do a video on the Maratha empire of Maharashtra in India by any chance. It's pretty underrated in terms of civilizations and empires not only around the world but also in India.
Great to see these new docs on topics not already covered many times over.

Humbled to watch such masterpiece every time. I am watching your videos in scheduled repetition. Also please cover the Liao dynasty by Khitans and Jin dyansty by Jurchins. They were highly crucial factors in medieval eastern history.
Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Good job Göktürks!
Unexpected bill wurtz reference and only recognised after two months lol
Thank you for covering the history of the ancestors of the turks too! There isn't alot of videos on this. Best and most hard working UA-cam channel about history 👍🏻
I was hoping this would be a video since the Hun one. I'm excited for the next one too. Great series. :)
Super interesting region and time period. Especially because there are not many sources for these times.. Thanks for these beautiful videos!!
Never knew these people existed. I loved this video. Great job to whoever made this video a reality.

Is it safe to say that the Chinese indirectly caused the collapses of two Roman empires?
@mahmut mahmutoglu savage
that's a cool way to think about history!
@Ergün Nar Before battle of Talas, we had defeated Umayyads for twice in 715 and 717. We still just stopped at Chui river.
Remember we were and are a settled people so logistic basically limited Chinese empire's western border.
No
I mean yeah... but by that logic, it's possible to name anything as an indirect cause of anything (as long as the prior comes before the latter) 😁
Great video. Look forward to seeing about the rise of the Oguz Turks and the conquests of the Great Seljuks.
