Actually the Hungarians were not the last nomadic people came to the basin. In the 13. Century Cuman and Jazig people came to the Kingdom of Hungary, running away from Mongols. The Cumans and Jazig people melted to the Hungarians among the centuries.

[@MLaserHistory]

I meant the last ones to be politically established like the Huns, Avars, etc.

[@schytoyamnaya9015]

@@MLaserHistory Yeah, you're right.

[@ferenc-x7p]

Eventually the entire Eastern part (of the Tisza river) becomes a Jasz (Jazig) and Kun (Cuman) settlement. So if anyone is browsing on Google Maps, you see "Jasz" and "Kun" quite often incorporated into town and village names of Eastern Hungary. Many people will also claim to be Jasz or Kun origin ethnically and they have their traditions and customs somewhat different than the other parts of the country. If you see Szász, that's Hungarianized version of the Saxons. There are names like that pop up in town names (Szaszhalombatta) and peoples' last names. Eventually the Pechenegs (Besenyok) were also ended up loosing their upper hands later in the history and their last remaining tribes seeked refugee in Hungary , so there is that town name Besenyszög - in Hungary.

[@schytoyamnaya9015]

@@ferenc-x7p Just some parts of East-Hungary lived by jazig people and cumans. Mostly between the Danube and the Tisza. The other parts still lived by Hungarians. The genetical resoults shows that, these regions where cumnas live, the asian/eastern genes are higher, but in the other regions of Est-Hungary its way lower, it shows where the cuman people live and its just some regions.

[@TheKisapi]

@@ferenc-x7p There is no such place as Szászhalombatta. The city's name is Százhalombatta, which is often confused because of the similar pronounciation. The name refers to the 100+ tomb hills that were built there in the bronze age.

The most important question, when did they invent tokai wine?

[@MLaserHistory]

Fun fact the Hungarian wine making today is a combination of the Roman wine making that existed in the region since the Romans and the Magyar wine making they brought with them when they settled the area. The Magyars most likely learned wine making from the turks while in the plains of eastern Europe.

[@lincselo]

As far as I know, Tokaj wine was first made by a man called "Szepsi Laczkó Máté" at 1630 in the village of Erdőbénye.

As genetic research shows, people from Hungary today show about the same amount of genetic ancestry of proto-Indoeuropeans and neolithic farmers. If you have sources speaking on greater neolithic farmer ancestry in ancient Pannonia, I would be happy to look into it. drive.google.com/file/d/0B016wEaS0EWqMGxGSTBTc3VxVVU/view www.amphilsoc.org/sites/default/files/2018-08/attachments/Reich.pdf Knowing that Indoeuropeans have conquered and killed or assimilated most of peoples of Europe into their culture and that Hungarians are surrounded and most genetically similar to Slavic (Indoeuropean) speaking peoples that surround them, they are their closests relatives. The medieval ruling class had kept the language of the old Magyars, which was obviously favoured by the Hungarian state to this day. All in all, an average Hungarian is genetically closely related to a Croat or a Slovak.

[@alxb2474]

Dominik Pešut I really would hate to say this my friend but you are mistaken by a landslide as to your statement claiming that the Hungarians or Magyars are pretty much the same as Slovaks and or Croatians . Basically what you’re stating is that they are nothing but Slavic both northern better yet western Slavic because Slovaks are basically just that like their colleagues the Czechs, and Poles seeing is that they border each other then wildly also Croatian which is southern Slav. Now to a very small degree it might make a little sense because of when Hungary was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and both Slovaks and Croatians might have done a bit of intermixing with some tiny percentage of Hungarians but then that would have to presume that since Serbia , Czechs, Austrians and even some of Romanians included in that empire also! But in all honesty I sense That you are just saying this as if you had complete documentation from factual historical data when you don’t! Let’s be truthful your basis is opinion/shooting in the dark but on the very surface of “bullshit” oriented rather then documentation therefore completely biased if not borderline fraudulent mislabeling to mislead out of some spite you may have against Hungarians maybe because you might just not be one of them but rather a Romanian feller who obviously would have many reasons to make such biased uneducated statements sir !

[@MLaserHistory]

@@SirAdrian87 In truth fire arrows yes weren't used the way portrayed in movies and they where almost never used in battles (unless trying to scare animals like elephants). However during sieges of mostly wooden towns (which often times had buildings with hay bale roofs) or attacking ships off the coast, yes fire arrows where very much used. Not all the time, not always effectively and not exactly the way they are portrayed in movies but they where definitely used through out History. Plus fire arrows didn't mean only the end of the arrow its self was on fire, it usually had an attached flammable liquid on it and that did the trick. "The simplest flaming arrows had oil- or resin-soaked tows tied just below the arrowhead and were effective against wooden structures." "More sophisticated devices were developed by the Romans which had iron boxes and tubes which were filled with incendiary substances and attached to arrows or spears." etc. And saying mounted combat is stupid (when dealing with medieval history) is so dumb that I am not going to even argue against it. I'll just say this, if it was so dumb how come every more sophisticated army had some sort of a cavalry. Heck the mongols conquered half of the known world thanks to a mounted army.

[@boomerix]

@@MLaserHistory The "mounted combat is a stupid idea" is taken here out of context! He never argued that mounted combat was ineffective or that it hasn't played a major role in warfare. The entire point was rather how fascinating it is that it even became a thing. In a world where horses are not used in combat, the idea of taking an animal that is easily scared and runs away from danger and using it for a purpose that goes against every instinct it has seems illogical and yet people put great effort into training the animals and themselves just for that purpose, resulting in revolutionizing warfare forever and making cavalry an integral and important part of warfare. He doesn't think mounted combat is stupid, he thinks it's great, despite the "idea" of using horses in combat (during a time when they weren't used) to be seemingly stupid. at that time. It's not the first time someone invented something revolutionary and impactful that would be dismissed as "useless" or "stupid" by most of their peers....

Awesome video. Although Bulgaria' s control over transilvania didn't last in 892 According to the Annals of Fulda, in 894 Emperor Arnulf sent envoys to the Bulgarians to "ask that they should not sell salt to the Moravians"; this demonstrates that the Bulgarians controlled, at a minimum, the roads between the Transylvanian salt mines and Moravia. Also one of the most famous hungarian sources(gesta hungarorum) mentions the famous vlach dukes Menomorut ,Gelou and Glad who controlled Banat and Transilvania in the early 900 s . All of who were born and baptised in Vidin , Bulgaria. Thus were most likely Bulgarian vassals. However I should mention that Gesta hangarorum was written in the 11th century. So it does have some fiction and semei-legendary figures in it.

[@MLaserHistory]

Not necessarily, they could have been trading over the Danube. With that said I am open to the idea of Bulgarian control within those lands lasting longer however what kind of control this was is very speculative. It wouldn't be uncommon for local counts to play two larger powers off of each other by giving vassalage to one then the other etc. simply for more local autonomy. This could be one aspect of it. Another could be a simple back and forth between the border regions of the two kingdoms, shifting the power dynamics between various counts/chiefs on multiple occasions. Lastly the fact that the Hungarians did establish them self in the basin by 895 does show a certain level of control over the Carpathian passages before that time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get through there. However this control could have of course been temporary or fragile or gradient, etc. There's just not enough information to go off of and a simple "not selling salt to the Moravians" could be interpreted many ways. They could have not even had control over the Transylvanian salt mines and simply been just trading salts to the Moravians from the Black see market, this is highly unlikely I am just saying it's impossible to know exactly, hence I went with the Hungarian control since as I mentioned before they needed some Carpathian control to be bale to establish them self in Pannonia.

@@MLaserHistory Absolutely agree. Deffenetly the Bulgarian rule of transylvania after the magyar arrival was more inconsistent than our rule of what was to became wallachia and part of modern Moldavia.

In that case the byzantines which excluded any Bulgarian land north of the Danube. I really love your channel becouse you dive into very unique and at the same time really controversial topics. Here are some sources if you are interested into this particular topic which our academics had named "Outdanubian Bulgaria" historian István Bóna Bóna writes that the Bavarian Geographer is the last source which contains contemporaneous information of the eastern regions of the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century. According to this source, which is actually a list of the tribes inhabiting the lands east of the Carolingian Empire around 840,the Merehani, who had 30 civitates, or fortified centers, lived along the southernmost parts of the empire's eastern frontiers. Their land also bordered on Bulgaria. The Abodrites A group of tribes which inhabited the lands along either the Timiș or the Tisza.According to a memorial inscription from Provadia, a Bulgar military commander, Onegavonais, drowned in the Tisza, implying Omurtag of Bulgaria's attempts to expand his rule in the region in the 820s. Also the Bulgars invaded Moravia in 863 and 883, suggesting that they controlled the crossing-points across the rivers Mureș and Tisza. Also emperor Simeon crossed the modern day region of Moldavia and bessarabia unchallenged in 896 in order to atack the magyars. And reached as far as the Boh river. This suggests that again these territories were Bulgarian possessions. Or atleast to some extent.

And the conqest of the Magyars of Transylvania from the Bulgarians was not in the early 900’s but the late 800’s not only according the Gesta (written about 3 hundreds years later) but also according the Byzantine sources of the IX-X century. If you quote from the Gesta Hungarorum, please do it exactly, and not according some foreigner (miss)translation or (miss)explaination!

[@historyrhymes1701]

@@lajos-berenyi The ethnicity of the dukes was not the main point here. The gesta does mention other rulers as bulgarians (Salan for example). And as far as I know, according to this source the duchies of Gelou and Menomorut located in modern day Crisana and western Transylvania fell to the hungarians around 907 AD not in the late 9th century. As for Glad his descendants ruled Banat until the early 11th century , Ahtum was the last ruler of the region. Also no consistent hungarian rule of transilvania before 1000AD can be proven. As for the gesta I am sorry, yes you are right it was written in the 13th century.

[@josiprakovac3284]

@@manueldegroot7625 Ha, ha, ha! Let me teach you something, Hungarian. From Croatian point of view... You occupied us? Before the arrival of the Hungarians, we had our own Croatian state that lasted 488 years (principality 296 and kingdom 192 years). I have studied this period and my conclusion is as follows; the Hungarians would not have overthrown the Croatian state without the betrayal of the Šubić of Bribir family (later Zrinjski). They protected Queen Jelena (Ilona), took her to Hungary (there is no chance that she could do it alone without protection), and the Šubićs made discord between twelve Croatian noble tribes. I have no evidence, but it is possible that they fought on the side of the Hungarians against the last Croatian king, Peter Snačić. At best, they remained passive and pretended that the war was out of the question. Later Zrinjski always, through the centuries, had an absolutely privileged position in Hungary, which disappeared with the arrival of the Habsburgs. Such a thing to say about the Zrinjski family is still taboo here, but history needs to be studied and analyzed. As for the Hungarians, we are also sorry that after Trianon you were finally reduced to your true measure. An old Croatian proverb says: who was above, is now below. 😉

Actually some Magyars were frequently mentioned as living in Bashkortostan. The Oka-Volga-Don interfluve was under the Gorodets culture.

Some stayed there too. In the 13th century, father Julianus went to the East, to find them, and he did eventually. He went back to Hungary to inform the king about it, but then the mongols reached the area. When Julianus went back the second time, no Magyars were left. But we can still see traces of them in Baskhir genome. Ironically, they have the most old - magyar DNA.

Yes, at one time there was Magna Hungaria which was in the Forest and Steppe regions of Bashkortostan, in the general area of the Southern Urals.

Charlemagne waged brutal wars against both the Saxons and a little bit later against the Avars, who incidentally where not wiped out, just their political power was drastically diminished and they no longer could maintain the same political control over Western Pannonia. Machiavellian intrigue was used by the Franks to break the power of the Avars. Many of the Avar leaders were invited to a large banquet by Charlemagne's orders to discuss the terms of peace with the Franks. The Franks had all the Avar leaders murdered. The evidence is in the 9th and 10th century gravefinds in Hungary. Many surviving, Avars had joined the Árpád Magyars voluntarily without force or blood-shed. There's quite a few Avars buried nearby the 9th & 10th Century Magyars.

"Uralic languages" is a name, doesn't mean though that these peoples lived at the Ural Mountains, like the dots in your map. Linguistically it's most probable they lived as the northern neighbors to the indo-iranian peoples. More likely they lived from the Ural Mountains to the Baltic Sea region. There is no certainty that proto-Uralic was once a spoken language, and all the peoples living that region were Finnic or Ugric languages speaking, before the arrival of Slavic and Turkic languages. Indo-Iranian loan words are also the oldest loanword layer in the Finnish language.

This video just shows how close have people to each other in current Central Europe. People were traveling from side to side.

I thought I am slovak until now, but my DNA says " balkan, welsh/irish, eastern europe and finnish " descent... . My advice : do not think too much about nationalism when you are from Central Europe.

[@MLaserHistory]

DNA isn't really used by Historians because A. as you said Europeans are far more closely related than any of us would like to admit and B. well your DNA doesn't define you as a person, you define your self as a person. For example the ruling dynasty of Mecklenburg was founded by Slavs, however no sensible person would call them Slavic after like the 10th century because well they themselves considered themselves German. They fully assimilated in to the German HRE even though their DNA was fully Slavic. What matters in political context and in turn the Historical one is what those people thought of themselves and what actions they made under those assumptions. Whether their DNA said this or that is absolutely irrelevant. If one spoke German, acted German, participated in German costumes, and thought of themselves German, even though their line and DNA was Slavic, they where German and would be calcified as such by History.

[@kbeetles]

Tibor Varga - The 2 sources contradict each other - but he says nothing about the contradictions themselves, so who (and how ) decides what is fictional and what is not fictional? Does fictional mean completely invented or does it mean that certain facts were woven into more fanciful narratives? In my opinion it has a reason why one fanciful narrative is picked up and not another. Maybe it fits into the cultural characteristics of a people. As a Hungarian I can say that the Blood contract between tribes ( Vérszerzödés) feels at home in Hungarian culture (see "testvér", "szert ülni"). * Latest cognitive science affirms the importance of using intuition alongside with factual knowledge......

As much as I love languages and am personally fairly good at learning foreign pronunciations (sadly, far more than foreign languages' grammar, which would be a far more useful talent), this modern trend strikes me as unnecessarily and excessively polite.
