This video showed the dependence of the Volga Bulgaria on the Khazars for 60 years longer than it was, because they became fully independent in the time of Almış Iltabar.And also Khazars ruled northern Turkey,Azerbaijan,Georgia and Armenia in the time of Bulan Sabriel. See Khazars map.
I've always been intrigued by the fact that the Khazars (or at least the ruling class), became jewish. Especially since the Jewish faith rarely spread beyond hebrews.
@@papazataklaattiranimam The word Jewish designates both people of Jewish blood and those who share this religion. Today, there may be people who declare themselves to be Jews and atheists (with Jewish blood but without religion) but it is very modern. This did not exist before the 20th century. Therefore, to distinguish Judaism from the Jews, especially at this time, is absurd.
@@himlingpatrice It did exist before the 20th century. For one example, there has been numerous Jews in the Iberian Peninsula who converted to Christianity in the 19th century, and many of those are distant descendants of many South Americans that have Iberian blood. Otherwise your comment is spot on.
@@torinjones3221 Eastern European Jews aren’t descended from the Khazars, though there is a small Turkic speaking ethnic group which follows a Jewish religion, Kariate rite, and are called Karaim, which may be related to the Khazars. The overwhelming majority of Eastern European and American Jews are Ashkenazim, descendants of a small group of Jews (~5000) who left Northern Italy for the Rhine Valley in Germany, and eventually spread to Poland and Eastern Europe, and then on to North America and the rest of the world. They traditionally spoke Yiddish, a dialect of German, though many Ashkenazim now speak the dominant language of their native country and few speak Yiddish except for insular communities of religious fundamentalists (Haredim/ Hasidim)
@@furrywarriors There is an old and largely discredited theory that the Ashkenazi Jews were the descendants of the Khazars. The theory itself is completely baseless, with neither historical sources or genetics backing it up whatsoever. The Wikipedia article on Ashkenazi Jews has a section on it and there's a full article detailing the theory here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry
North-east. Are you dumb? 1. The Christians split from the Jews, so technically Christianity is a type of Judaism rather than vise versa. Two, the Christians have discriminated against the Jewish people for centuries openly and so what ur saying makes not sense.
@@Snowflake4-20 Judaism is the beginning of Christianity with no Jesus and added rules that don't exist in the Christian bible. But yes its older, in sense that its level 1 of 4 levels.
I've always found the Khazars fascinating, especially because they were so syncretic. Some were Jewish, others were Muslim and Christian while some kept their native Tengist religion. You can see that in the names of the different rulers. Must've been because they were predominately a trading empire and didn't care much for religious affiliations. Very intriguing group indeed.
Their muslim descendants are today's Kumyks in Caucasia, Jewish ones are Karaims and Krymchaks, and the Christian ones are believed to be Chuvashians. Amazing. They had such a great religious diversity. The rulers believed in Judaism tho
They are converts to Judaism! That became the state religion in 740 AD! Did you even look at the timeline? after Bulan ALL Kaganites have distinctly classical Hebrew names! ALL oF them! Khazar DID NOT convert to Islam or Christianity but to Judaism!

@@Vitalis94 That there's no reason to believe that the Ashkenazi descend from the Khazars and that the Judaism of the Khazars was very syncretic and nomadic in nature. So.... completely unlike what we see as actual religious jews.
@@Antipius Those conspiracy theorists must be bummed :D For real, though, even if the Khazars weren't exactly what we commonly think of as Jewish, they are a pretty interesting culture in itself. Nomads as a whole are. We know so little about them because they lived in illiterate societies, and the only pieces we have are from biased, settled societies. Even then, it's still hard for us, settled peoples, to truly comprehend them. That's what makes them so interesting in my opinion.
The early ninth-century Greek historian Theophanes wrote that the Khazars were "eastern Turks."3 The Arab chronicler al-Masudi recorded in Kitab at-Tanbih wa al-Ishraf (957) that "the Khazars. . are a tribe of the Turks."4 The Chinese chronicle T'ang-shu likewise declared that the Khazars "belong to the stock of the Turks.'S

Nice! So good to see some more obsured medieval states. Good work. Would have been a little bit better if there were some other states as well to see who they interacted with. As well, magyars (hungarians) were in the territory for a lot more than shown on the map!
Joseph Reinach, a French Jewish member of parliament who was opposed to Zionism, dismissed the idea, arguing that Jews descended from Israelites were a tiny minority. In his view, conversion had played a major role in the expansion of the Jewish people, and, in addition, he claimed, the majority of "Russian, Polish and Galician Jews descend from the Khazars, a Turkic people. who converted to Judaism en masse at the time of Charlemagne.
Khazars are pretty cool, basically the nobility converted to Judaism and served as a counterbalance to Christianity and Islam for a while, it was one of many Jewish religious states during the medieval period. Watch out tho, there's some pseudo science bonkers theory about how modern Jews are khazars, this is false.
@@nathanialramirez160 Like I said, whether the khazars story is true or not, it doesn't change the fact that modern day Jews share very little dna with ancient hebrews.

When the Byzantine historians of the following centuries encountered the Göktürks and Kipchaks-Pechenegs, whose Turkishness was accepted all over the world, they found their speech, dressing, behavior and traditions so similar that they addressed all of them as Scythians. (Kaegi, W. E. (2003). Heraclius: Emperor of Byzantium (First Edition) Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 140-151.).
The Göktürks were writing letters in Scythian, and the Romans called the Göktürks Scythians. When presenting the Gokturk Emperor's letter to the Zemarkos Byzantine Emperor, he said:"Today, the nation we call Turk, formerly called SCYTHİAN. This letter was written with the letters SCYTHİAN."

And significantly smaller. Volga Bulgaria was by far the biggest Bulgarian state. Old Great Bulgaria which the Khazars conquered and destroyed was about 1mln. square kilometres to put it in perspective.
In ck 3 as Bulgaria I've became their vassal and then became their emperor, using the ability meritocracy to become their emperor. I've technically switched from playing with a kingdom with playing with an empire in a matter of one generation, thanks to the game's focus on your family rather than country of origin, like how it is in HoI4 or Stellaris, for example, which are still awesome games ngl.
I’m fascinated by the fact that the Khazars were once Babylonians and now we call them Jewish people thanks to the Balfour Declaration of 1917… Truly fascinating!
@@BigYeti01 Yes there was, The Rus pretty much ended them when they sailed down the rivers on their long ships and came into conflict with them over their rich lands.

It's funny that people find it weird that central asian nomads would have "white" sounding names and then completely forget that all of those names originate from judaism in the first place. illustrates very well how much we think our culture is the default option.
Ahh yes, one for he very few Jewish states Middle Ages, being a Turkic empire you would think they would either be Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Tengrist, or Zoroastrian, but instead they made an odd choice that makes them very interesting and unique!
Khazars - Normans. Nobody can explain how scandanivians/vikings became such good horsemen. They even used armor that was identical to Khazar armor. The Normans emerged around the same time the Khazars disappeared.
It was the Aral Sea. It was drained by the Soviet Union around the 60s by rerouting its source rivers for irrigation to farmland. Now it’s just an empty salt flat, devoid of most life. It’s a very sad story, what happened to the lake that was full of life for thousands of years.
F. The soviets redirected the rivers that flowes into aral for agriculture, causing it to dry. This caused an economic struggle for khazakh and uzbekh fishing communities, while other regions prospered due to the extra water for agriculture.

Huh... Wasn't expecting to see a ruler with my name crop up in that part of the world.... Weird. (Scrolled far enough to see that at least the rulers converted to Judaism, which does explain it, but doesn't make it less unexpected)
The whole people converted when a king converts the people convert! That is why at the same time the Pagan religions also die. It was a mass conversion without a war. Becoming Jewish was not being a Christian or a Muslim and to a Khazar that meant no Muslim or Roman Catholic control.
Yeah. Video doesnt show that literally whole south Ukraine belonged to ancient bulgars, Kubrat and the Dulo clan between 630-665, and after that too, in different forms. This whole region was populated with bulgar horse riding killing machines. And to top it off, in 681 Khan Asparuh- another horse riding psychopath, founded the first bulgarian empire on the river Danube, precisely where Bulgaria still is to this day, with an outlet to the Black sea, like a BALLS!
If you’re interested in that I’d recommend his video of the Middle East every year. (From Sumer to the present day, and it includes the part where islam expanded through the caliphates.)
Как ныне сбирается вещий Олег Отмстить неразумным хозарам, Их селы и нивы за буйный набег Обрек он мечам и пожарам; С дружиной своей, в цареградской броне, Князь по полю едет на верном коне.

I wonder if there's a way for in an alternate history story to keep these guys around longer. To the best of my knowledge they had their East and Western flanks guarded by the Caspian and black seas and their southern borders guarded by mountains so they really would have to be careful about is their Northern borders. Also there's the standard political Strife of that era.
Their main issue, AFAIK, was that the whole state relied on taxing trade that went through the land and the Khazars never assimilated the conquered populations. Without any homegrown industry or exports, and with a very fractured population, it's amazing the Khazars lasted as long as they did!
@@Antipius so in order to keep them around longer you need to unify the populace more, as well as develop some local industry. What resources are in the area to do so?

This video showed the dependence of the Volga Bulgaria on the Khazars for 60 years longer than it was, because they became fully independent in the time of Almış Iltabar.And also Khazars ruled northern Turkey,Azerbaijan,Georgia and Armenia in the time of Bulan Sabriel. See Khazars map.
I've always been intrigued by the fact that the Khazars (or at least the ruling class), became jewish. Especially since the Jewish faith rarely spread beyond hebrews.
Became Judaist not Jewish
@@papazataklaattiranimam The word Jewish designates both people of Jewish blood and those who share this religion.
Today, there may be people who declare themselves to be Jews and atheists (with Jewish blood but without religion) but it is very modern. This did not exist before the 20th century.
Therefore, to distinguish Judaism from the Jews, especially at this time, is absurd.
@@himlingpatrice It did exist before the 20th century. For one example, there has been numerous Jews in the Iberian Peninsula who converted to Christianity in the 19th century, and many of those are distant descendants of many South Americans that have Iberian blood. Otherwise your comment is spot on.
@@torinjones3221 Eastern European Jews aren’t descended from the Khazars, though there is a small Turkic speaking ethnic group which follows a Jewish religion, Kariate rite, and are called Karaim, which may be related to the Khazars.
The overwhelming majority of Eastern European and American Jews are Ashkenazim, descendants of a small group of Jews (~5000) who left Northern Italy for the Rhine Valley in Germany, and eventually spread to Poland and Eastern Europe, and then on to North America and the rest of the world. They traditionally spoke Yiddish, a dialect of German, though many Ashkenazim now speak the dominant language of their native country and few speak Yiddish except for insular communities of religious fundamentalists (Haredim/ Hasidim)
@@furrywarriors There is an old and largely discredited theory that the Ashkenazi Jews were the descendants of the Khazars. The theory itself is completely baseless, with neither historical sources or genetics backing it up whatsoever. The Wikipedia article on Ashkenazi Jews has a section on it and there's a full article detailing the theory here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry
"there are two options christianity or islam"
khazars: looks like i'm about to break the law
North-east. Are you dumb? 1. The Christians split from the Jews, so technically Christianity is a type of Judaism rather than vise versa. Two, the Christians have discriminated against the Jewish people for centuries openly and so what ur saying makes not sense.
They converted to Judaism precisely because they wanter to counterbalance against these two religions...
@North-East correct me if I'm wrong but.. I'm pretty sure Judaism has been around for longer than Christians 0-0
@@Snowflake4-20 Judaism is the beginning of Christianity with no Jesus and added rules that don't exist in the Christian bible. But yes its older, in sense that its level 1 of 4 levels.
@North-East Christianity is a upgraded version of Judaism, Islam is a weird variant of Christianity
I've always found the Khazars fascinating, especially because they were so syncretic. Some were Jewish, others were Muslim and Christian while some kept their native Tengist religion. You can see that in the names of the different rulers. Must've been because they were predominately a trading empire and didn't care much for religious affiliations. Very intriguing group indeed.
Their muslim descendants are today's Kumyks in Caucasia, Jewish ones are Karaims and Krymchaks, and the Christian ones are believed to be Chuvashians. Amazing. They had such a great religious diversity. The rulers believed in Judaism tho
They are converts to Judaism! That became the state religion in 740 AD! Did you even look at the timeline? after Bulan ALL Kaganites have distinctly classical Hebrew names! ALL oF them! Khazar DID NOT convert to Islam or Christianity but to Judaism!

@@Vitalis94 That there's no reason to believe that the Ashkenazi descend from the Khazars and that the Judaism of the Khazars was very syncretic and nomadic in nature. So.... completely unlike what we see as actual religious jews.
@@Antipius Those conspiracy theorists must be bummed :D
For real, though, even if the Khazars weren't exactly what we commonly think of as Jewish, they are a pretty interesting culture in itself.
Nomads as a whole are. We know so little about them because they lived in illiterate societies, and the only pieces we have are from biased, settled societies.
Even then, it's still hard for us, settled peoples, to truly comprehend them. That's what makes them so interesting in my opinion.

Joseph Reinach, a French Jewish member of parliament who was opposed to Zionism, dismissed the idea, arguing that Jews descended from Israelites were a tiny minority. In his view, conversion had played a major role in the expansion of the Jewish people, and, in addition, he claimed, the majority of "Russian, Polish and Galician Jews descend from the Khazars, a Turkic people. who converted to Judaism en masse at the time of Charlemagne.

When the Byzantine historians of the following centuries encountered the Göktürks and Kipchaks-Pechenegs, whose Turkishness was accepted all over the world, they found their speech, dressing, behavior and traditions so similar that they addressed all of them as Scythians. (Kaegi, W. E. (2003). Heraclius: Emperor of Byzantium (First Edition) Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 140-151.).
The Göktürks were writing letters in Scythian, and the Romans called the Göktürks Scythians.
When presenting the Gokturk Emperor's letter to the Zemarkos Byzantine Emperor, he said:"Today, the nation we call Turk, formerly called SCYTHİAN. This letter was written with the letters SCYTHİAN."

Let’s compare history Iranic vs Turkic one of the best Iranic Empire the Parthian Empire vs the second best Empire in Turkic history Seljuk Empire I get this question all the time the answer is Parthian Empire is clear the Parthian Empire was superpower Empire for 300 years the Seljuk Empire not even 150 years so that double the time or even more overall Parthians have better rulers both destroyed many states and beat some Empires but Parthian Empire destroyed better Empires and kingdoms and force Rome to pay tribute and also general Surena >>> all Seljuk military commanders Iranic lion Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad destroyed part of Seljuk Empire like nothing LOL 😂 for example in Battle of Herat 1175
I have to wonder: why could they never conquer sevastopol?
It was owned by the byzantines
It was a giant fortress essentially IIRC.
Not good at sieges
It didn't exist back then. Maybe you are thinking about Chersonesus nearby.
Turkic and you are wrong at starting of video they are vassals of Gokturks khanate
then they invade Sassanids but you showed that it's first Jewish Turkish state
Khagan Joseph is not good ruler there no Khagan after that
I misread this as an astronomy vid about quasars...

*No. The Jews are not Khazars.*
It is based on racist conspiracies from 100 years ago and even the literal Nazis based on those conspiracies.
The vast majority of the Khazars were not Jews by any means.
It was just a dynasty of Khazars kings and their small elite that converted to Judaism. Absolutely not the general population.
In the Khazar Khaganate there were many different religions. Buddhists, Tengrists, Muslims, Christians...

@@מ.מ-ה9ד Calm down he meant judaist
@@מ.מ-ה9ד I called the Khazars Jewish. I didn't call the Jews Khazars. Although it appears the term I was really looking for was Judaist. Also I'm already aware of the fact that most of the Khazars did not convert and that it was mainly limited to the upper class of Khazar society.
@@papazataklaattiranimam I've actually never heard of it called that way. Could you explain the term to me?
would have been more informative with border neighbors.....
Sevastopol holds firm
In the south Khazar borders were around modern Karaj near Tehran.
very cool Turkic empire.

If you don't know how Khazar became Jews even though it is hard for others to convert to Judaism is because a Russian king saw Khazar pagan religion as satanic and sent them ultimatum to convert to any three of the Abrahamic religion (Orthodox Judaism, Sufi-Islam, Orthodox Christian) and he won't commit genocide toward them.
It is also believed they were only given two option which was Islam or Christianity in general any sect is allowed. They choose Judaism themselves but knowing how it is hard for Judaism to be spread because Jews ways of spreading Judaism it is hard to believe they were giving only 2 option. Or else only about half of them would have been able to convert. It takes five real for you to convert to Judaism is it a lot of grind.
They never convert. They faked a conversion. Thats why Cabal Elites of today, and the Whole Western World is Satanist ( Marxist). Just go to the Vatican
@@valentinvanruiz But there aren't that many proof. We only had proof toward Marxist of Germany but Karl himself looks innocent.
@@muhammadabuzarkhan7450 "But there aren't that many proof" what are you smoking, literally my nations entire administrative cabinet is them and they don't even hide it they have their histories posted on wiki and others documentaries. Most openly admit to being Marxists and J's.
I don't know anything about this nation, can some one summarize it?
A nomadic Turkic Silk Road trading empire that the ruling elite may or may not have converted to Judaism (scholarship is in dispute) to serve as a third option between Byzantine Orthodoxy and the Arab Muslim worlds
Steppe peoples who settled down and created an empire. They converted to Judaism for various reasons then got conquered by Cumans.
They are Turkic and jewish
khazar milkers
@@jvy012896 Settled down? I thought the ethnic Khazars of the empire were nomadic throughout, only that their subject were settled peoples?
Thanks for my homework :D
Khazars were most Christians, Muslims and Pogans. Judaism was religion of leaders and small elite there.
Hearing the roman empire music got me so confused for a second
They fought the Romans
Hungary: Romanians are migrants, we came here first.
Also Hungary: 1:25
It's unclear when Romanians, Vlachs arrived to Transylvania. The Dacian continuity is unlikely, becouse Dacia was only occupied for 150 years. A Daco - Roman culture would've taken much more to form. Meanwhile other Balkan regions were Roman ruled for 300 years. The formation of the Romance speaking Vlachs is more likely in this places. This is also prooven by the other Vlach - like peoples.
@@anotherhistoryenthusiast5874 As actual Indo-Europeans, we could literally arrive 1000 years later and still be more entitled to owning the land. So your point is moot.
@@botatobias2539 Indo-Europeans were just another conqueror ethnicity. No different to others. Uralic languages appeared in Europe at the same time as IE ones. Around 4000 BC.
And altough Hungarian came later, but it is still a Uralic language. Original inhabitants, such as Basques spoke and speak languages that were and are more similar to Uralic ones, than to IE ones. Agglutination, etc... Indo - Europeans were dark skinned, dark and curly haired people originally. See Cheddar Man. The look of modern Europeans is not from IE peoples (at least the fairer ones), but from pre - Indo - European peoples. Don't think you were always here, just becouse currently you are the biggest group. You came here too, just like 99% of modern Europeans.
@@anotherhistoryenthusiast5874 it's not unclear, the Romanians migrated north of the Danube in the 11th-12th century. They are the original Thraco-Romans. Wikipedia agrees.
Israel Is so small compares with Khazaria 😟
I Hope One Day We Come Back To Khazaria
Khazaria was the strongs jewish empire in the history
Yes I hope so, Khazar Khagante very rich and advanced country that time. But they are not Jewish they are Judaist but they speak Turkic language and they are succesors of "Gokturk Khaganate" so "Jewish Empire" is wrong, maybe you can say "Judaist Turkic Empire" is okay, historian say small population original(semitic) jews migrate from islamic caliphate and byzantium to escape from oppression but original jews population max %5 of they, others just converted Judaist Turks.
The Khazars were Turks. The descendants of the Khazars are the Kumyks Turks Muslims who live in Dagestan in the North Caucasus. Previously, their capital was called Samandar.
Here 2:59 at this minute the Kumyks live to this day in Dagestan.
That's why the American government send money to Ukraine so these zionists can fight for it back
Khazars wasnt Jew. They was Judaist Turks
Aa. So, the word 'Azer' 'Azar', comes from the word 'Khazar'.
Nice

Name: Joseph Stalin.

I wonder if there's a way for in an alternate history story to keep these guys around longer. To the best of my knowledge they had their East and Western flanks guarded by the Caspian and black seas and their southern borders guarded by mountains so they really would have to be careful about is their Northern borders. Also there's the standard political Strife of that era.
Their main issue, AFAIK, was that the whole state relied on taxing trade that went through the land and the Khazars never assimilated the conquered populations. Without any homegrown industry or exports, and with a very fractured population, it's amazing the Khazars lasted as long as they did!
@@Antipius so in order to keep them around longer you need to unify the populace more, as well as develop some local industry. What resources are in the area to do so?
