Turks and Kazakhs

In 545, the union of tribes that came out of Altai defeated the people of the Zhuzhans, their patrons, and ten years later they captured Sogd. In 575, the Göktürks, we are talking about the Turkics, already controlled the Northern Black Sea region, the Crimea and the North Caucasus, that is, in 30 years, the Göktürks passed and began to control the entire steppe zone from the Crimea to Manchuria. How could this happen? The seizure of territories so unimaginable in size in such a short period of time. In 555, that is, ten years after they left the Altai, they had already reached the Volga and controlled Transoxiana. Yes, the Göktürks forged iron for the Zhuzhans. But this is not the most important thing. Iron has nothing to do with it. They defeated the Ephthalites, that is, the ancestors of those very Parthian cataphractaries.

Since the 6th century, the displacement of the Iranian root from the entire steppe and its replacement with the Turkic one began. No one can explain why the ancient Iranian nomads ceded the entire steppe to the Turks. Since then, many Iranians have renounced and continued the glory of the Iranian conquerors under the name of Oghuz. The former Iranians, under the name of the Seljuks, created the «South Asian way» towards Europe – not as fast as the Turkites, but in 500 years they reached Vienna under the name of the Ottomans. What happened to the ancient Iranians that they gave way to the Turks, moreover, they renounced so much that they fought with other descendants of the Aryans in Iran and in Azerbaijan. These ancient Iranians were known to the world by various names – Saks, Massagets, Sarmatians. These ancient Iranians also lived in the Turfan oasis by right of the indigenous inhabitants. The modern descendants of these ancient Iranians, the Uighurs, will not let you lie. But the Uighurs also speak the Turkic language. After all, the ancient Iranians were known to the ancient Chinese under the name Yueji. How many descendants of ancient Iranians turned into Turks – millions! All these tribes of ancient Iranians spoke different dialects of the Proto-Iranian language. But these ancient Iranians fought with each other, like the Mongols before Genghis Khan, like Kazakh tribes before the arrival of the Russians, but the Mongolian and Kazakh eternal showdowns are pathetic copies of the ancient Iranian thousand – year showdowns (the Mongols, by the way, could not impose the Mongolian language on the conquered world, although they followed the same route). What can I say: the worst enemies, Cyrus of Persia and the queen of the Massagets Tomiris in 530 BC could talk to each other, most likely without translators. The Parthians took power from the Persians in Central Asia. The antagonism of Iran and Turan is not an Iranian-Turkic antagonism. These are the ancient Iranians who fought with each other for a thousand years. Today, only Shiite Iran is the heir of all the once glorious ancient Iranians, bringing diversity to the motley Islamic world. What happened to the ancient Iranians that they turned into Turks and changed their faith?

There are a whole complex of reasons for this historical defeat of the ancient Iranians. But the most important reason is the inability to cooperate strategically. All people with a tribal code, not even a culture, are not capable of strategic cooperation. To put it even more simply, hostility at the level of one’s own small piece of land, a local territory that has received a pathetic extension called homeland. For worms the shit is housing, for whom and the swamp is the place of birth. But the inhabitants of one village can challenge the inhabitants of a neighboring village to a fist fight – there was such fun in Russia. In Soviet cities, it was fraught for young people to walk through a strange area. The bloody showdowns of teenage gang fights are mini copies of zeref reflection. Here, the «protected area» is only as an excuse to demonstrate the power. Before the activity of Genghis Khan, the Mongols attacked and slaughtered each other. The Merkits took Genghis Khan’s wife after the raid. Then he returned her with the help of Anda Jamukha with a «Merkit gift». His first son Jochi was always called that behind his back

The Turkits in the middle of the 6th century passed these steppes in ten years simply because the whole steppe was a sparsely populated territory. This is a territory drained of simple living conditions. No one needs it except nomads (without the arrival of any civilizers, no steppes can be populated by other people, and the people who lead a nomadic economy will never refuse to do something else: they will be stubborn, they will run the old economy – they will remain in exactly the same warriors number. Without the arrival of «colonialists», the men with cultural of trade, the people cannot grow from the word in any way: new technologies are needed, especially new thinking, the ability to strategic cooperation. Therefore, all reformers apply radical measures of «re-education». Nomadic people, especially the elite the tribal elite of nomads will never abandon the «wills of their ancestors») One skirmish with the Eftalites was enough for turkits to disperse the other tribes into corners.

Ten years later, the Turkits began fighting over the inheritance because tribal thinking is the eternal ambitions of the discontented (The first to rise was the rootless Apa Khan Temeren, the rootless son of a concubine. It was only with the help of the Chinese that the uprising was suppressed). But already in 603, the Turkic ale, the empire of the Turks was divided into Western and Eastern khaganates. In 744, the Eastern Khaganate fell under the onslaught of the Uighurs. How long, it turns out, did the Turks dominate? Almost 200 years. But the Uighurs themselves already spoke the Turkic language. And the entire Iranian Maveronnahr spoke the Turkic language. Deep cultural reforms have taken place over 200 years. (Before the Tokugawa Shogunate, the ancient inhabitants of Hokkaido, the Ainu had a European appearance. Tokugawa Izyasu ordered the Ainu to be settled throughout Japan. Modern Ainu look no different from the Japanese. But the residents of Bukhara, Khorezm, Samarkand still resemble Iranians. But they speak the Turkic language because the inhabitants of the Chagatai ulus were not forcibly resettled anywhere, and the Mongols were not imported. Interestingly, most modern Kyrgyz have Aryan R1a, but they look like Mongols. Did the ancient Iranians marry Mongolian women? When did this happen? This is not a question on our topic)

PS. When I ask a Kazakh to take my book, do I have nothing to do? No, I have something to show. I need to show Kazakh ambitions. Even the most poor, insignificant Kazakh has them. It is important for me to show inability to cooperate strategically. Kazakhs are solidifying so far at the family level. Even in business, the first thought of a Kazakh is to please his family and himself, to show success to his relatives. Hence all the show-off. All the «guests» notice not the such friendship of the Kazakhs. And they use it well. For Kazakhs, disassembly among themselves is more important. When a dignitary Kazakh is in power, has access to a feeder, he will not greet a dissident. When a dignitary Kazakh is removed from office, he even hugs you. But if the Kazakh is brought back to power again, he will again behave arrogantly, again pretend that he does not know you – no matter what happens.
