Heads-up: there's quite a lot of doubt that any Khazars converted to Judaism. The origin of this belief is most likely just a Spanish polemic about Jewish history framed as a series of letters. If anyone in the Khazar power structure was Jewish, it was likely only the Khagan Bek, or the military commander; and they had been assimilated into neighboring Muslim Tatars by the year 1000. And they'd never reached Central Europe.

[@ibnyahud]

Your point is strongly corroborated by the lack of a widespread or predominant Turkic - Judaic language (Hebrew, Yiddish, judeo-Aramaic) exchange in either region and in the historical European J populations' extant literary record. Plus we have Frankish and Polish records as well as others strongly corroborating the history of Js migrating from Rome to western Europe and then further settlements eastward in later centuries. When the Russian Empire acquired so many J's in their annexations of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Catherine enacted the "Pale of Settlement" decree to keep them ghettoized. Of course, if you had enough money or influence, the rules were "flexible", but to the average person, a trip past the lines required strict business permits and applications. Merchants saw business opportunities peddling at various major city fairs, as they were more prominent high culture activities of the day.

The Kabars were Tengrists and probably losers in what may have been a civil war among Khazars.

@@sebastiansuteu1829 Ionut and Janos regardless how you write it, are both the same name with Hebrew origin, referencing the bible and the christian faith. Gyula and Gyalu are of Turkic origin and believed to be the inspiration for Gelou (which is not a known name and lacks source or origin). Weirdly, Gelou who is called Gyalu died exactly in the town called Gyalu (Gilau). Hungarians certainly didin't name a town after a defeated foreign foe. Other issue is that Romanians have to spellings for the same. Gelou is as much a real historic figure as King Arthur, Buddha, Jesus and such. Many different individuals mixed together with facts and myths. Other problem is, that Transylvania was ruled by Gyula, hungarian voivode of Transylvania, father of Sarolta. Sarolta is Geza's wife. Geza is Vajk/I.Stephen's father. Vajk was an adult in 1001, when he created the Kingdom of Hungary,, probably at age 20, so was born around 980, Sarotla around 960 and her father Gyula, ruled his territory around that time.

Based of my knowledge of J history, I would wager that Samuel Aba was what we would refer to as a "Karaite". I would compare them to an ancient version of "reform" Judaism. The rejection of rabbinic literature is the major "precept". It was a more popular belief around the Caucasus all the way to Crimea with a possible forebear (or perhaps coincidence) in the ancient "God fearers" of that region that Goethe wrote about. But certainly the west to east migration of traditional and surviving Judaism is a fact of family histories, literary, legal, and manuscript collections' records.

[@andrasnoll2559]

Ok, this wasn't half bad, but I'd like to point out some details. The war between Stephen I. and Koppány wasn't exactley exactly about Christianaty or Táltosism (Hungarian paganism that was mostly a mixture of Tengri slavic and northen non viking peganism, later of whitch mostly practiced by pre-christian lithuanians.) but about which type of Christianaty the Hungarians would follow western/chatolic or eastern/ortodox Stephen stood for chatolicism and the quick abbandonment of paganistic elements while Koppány took up ortodox Christianaty in order to get closer to Bizantyum and because chatolicism was more restricting (less neighbours to attack with walid casual belli because most of theme where of seme religion and chatolicism placed the pope as "chief replacement" aka the church had more power and influence with whitch they can curve and challenge crown authority while in ortodoxy the ruler is the highest rank in terms of sate leadership. In addicion the later was less restricting on keeping some in fact most pagan tradicion alive. In the end Sthepen won Koppány was cut to 4 and his remains spread across the corners of the cuntry as a warnning. Péter was hated mostly because he was seen as weak, greedy and acted too much italian for the nobilitys taste so he was ousted in favor of Sámuel Aba who was most likely the head of a maternal offshot of House Árpád. Péter returned whith the help of Otto and the not so honly not so roman but at least still an empire at this time and retook the throne from Sámuel who at this point was also hated by most of the nobility because of tyranical and unrulerly acting such as forcefull landgrabs and unprovokedly starting minor wars on his vassal landowners because of said landgrabs. Also conributing to the fact of his unlikednes was that in order to gain the support of the Hungarian lords he promised and actually delivered giveing them more rights and liberties and later trying to revoke them first by legal means and when it did not work by force (hench the landgrabs and inner wars). But Péter was still hated and the fact that he made the kingdom an effective bufferstate of ze Imperiállll Germans didn't help a bit. Fun fact he tryed to liberate himselfe from Ottos vassalige 3 times by means of war, but at first after some minor victories a stealmeat comeabout and they ended it with a whitepeace the 2. time hi won, but Otto give him some land in order to stay loyal and at 3. he complettle bunched it lost both teritory and got weakend. Finally he was kicked out of the Kingdom by András and Levente coming back from their exile in Poland "riding the overhwelming tides of the pagan rebellion" and with the help of knights and warlords dissetisfied with the current system took power. They tried some reforms including the reinstallition of dual leadership of old times with the king takeing over most of the domestic affairs and administration with some military arrengement and the secundary leader the "fővezér" closely translating to something like lordcommander or highmarshall taking under most of the military matter including but not limmited to logistics,training,homedefense, Borderpatroll organisation ...ect whilest addicionally helping in state management. However Levente wanted to bring back pegan tradicions and delegate more power to the lower nobility/most prominent warrior cast in Hungary at that time with which András strongly disagreed on as he wanted a Kingdom with highly centralised crown authority. Long story short: they got in an arguement about it and few days later Levente died in a rather suspicious "accident" leaving András as the soul ruler. He invited his younger brother home from his exile (he was in Bohemia at this time by the way) and nominated him as secund in command. With his help he crushed the rebbel lords and centralised power. Ze Imperiálllls tried to reinstall Péter to the Hungarian throne later but he died during the war in which Hungary descimated a large chunk of the attacking armyes hummiliating ze Germans plus the investiture clonfict between the pope and ze emperor was ongoing at tehet time if I remember correctly, aniyways the war ended in a total Hungarian victory and András in order to marry his son of to ze emperors daughter for ain German allaence and to secure the West instituted primogeniture again much to the dismay of Béla who in recompensation gained the voyvody of Transylvania, but later marshalld his troops and called in a favor he had with the Bohemians and claimed the throne ... for a wapping 3 years after which the throne fell on him and he was chrushed (accidents happen I guess, definitly not murder attemot). Then a still in his midteens Salamon son of András was crowned and imidiatelly had to face schiming wia his cousins László and Béla but they resolved it peacefully and waged a war on the pechenegs not the cumans humes with the kingdom fostered a good relation with. Time goes by Salamon dies, Géza inherets the throne for some years but dies after a short reighn because of wound infestation (he weared a belt with iron trohns inside as a pennance for ther almost attempted regiside against their young cousins the king.) and László becomes king without a children so he nominates Kálmán his nephoew as soul heir. László continued his war against the pechenegs succesfully drowing them out of the kingdom and impruved relations with the kumans, he also maied the kingdoms armyes more effective and streighend chatolicism while simualtainesly keeping ancent tradicions in the army and civilan life allive without the two contradicting each other. After him Kálmán inhereted the Kindom. He supprted education had some bulding and infrastucture project continued his uncels polici regarding Croatia which later led to its annexation into Hungary as a semy autonomus Barony/Duchy thingi and descimated a maraudeing crusader army at the Bohemian border plus drove out the unruely horde of Peter the hermet after they attempted to sack a citys markeplace.

Now that I think about it the world of Avatar is weird for only having 4, well actually 6 nations (the northern and southern water tribes and western and eastern air nomads are separate). Though arguably only the Fire and Earth nations and maybe the northern Water Tribe are real nations. Though it is somewhat similar to East Asia where there are far fewer states than in Europe.

A little known fact about the battle of Lechfield 955 ce. The Magyars (Hungarians) only fielded approximately 10,000 horse warriors that were led by Bulcsú, Lehel and Súr vezérs, not the entire army of Hungary.

[@teovu5557]

According to historians the whole Magyar military at that time was around 20,000 so yeah they lost "half" of their battle harden experienced warriors. Hence they stoped all military campaigns after that for over 100 years as they only had enough horsemen to defend pannonia. (Ethnic hungarian population was only around 60,000 not including Slavs)

[@DarkKhagan]

@@teovu5557 No the estimated total population of Hungary was closer to 500,000 Only the western located vezérs took part in the Lech campaign, so the total military might of Hungary was not engaged. The total forces at that time, would have been closer to 60,000. After Lechfeld no other country tried to invade Hungary for 100 years.

[@teovu5557]

@@DarkKhagan Thats a high estimate and including Slavs of pannonia. I said "Ethnic Magyars" were only around 60,000 with 20,000 warriors and around 40,000 men,women and children at that time period. (Pannonian plains cant sustain 500,000 at the time nomadic pastoralist til they switch to a agrarian lifestyle post 9th century.

[@DarkKhagan]

@teovu5557 Perhaps 500,000 is a high estimate? However 60,000 seems a bit of a low estimate, perhaps it was a number somewhere in between 60,000-500,000?

[@DarkKhagan]

​@@teovu5557 Btw, the Magyars were hunter gatherers as well as practicing a transhumance form of pastoralism and already using a combination of agriculture along with animal husbandry.

There are two theories about Aba Sámuel. Pagan or Judaism (possible because of Khazar-elite-link) Aba family converted to Christianity. Although it is more often referred to as a pagan. In fact, he was not a real King, only the nobles gave him power and controlled him. According to our history, although it is possible that they encountered Judaism, it did not affect them. At this time they were fighting against strong Christian influence. Although religion was actually only taken up out of necessity. Although not easily, the country secretly remained pagan under the surface. But very decent work. On the other hand, the Hungarian proto-religion really contained elements similar to Tengrism. But this could also be because they lived in an area where they believed in Tengrism. Although there are important disagreements. Totem belief, animism, was an important basis for both. It was light (fire) worship.

[@barkasz6066]

Hungarian mythology is fascinating but sadly 99% of it is conjecture and speculation. We don't have much in the way of direct written sources or myths outside of literally just 2 or 3 stories at most. We can guess some elements of it based on medieval laws that mention certain activities like worshipping spirits of the forest, rivers, lakes, meadows, mountains, etc. We know the rituals involved dancing around the fire and making offerings to the ancestors by throwing pieces of meat and drops of alcohol into fire. Other sources are medieval legends which have elements that are foreign to contemporary Christian mythology. Also religious traditions and folk tales that are ostensibly Christian in nature but have elements or characters in them that are foreign to Christianity. The Virgin Mary for example has a very rich and unique tradition in Hungary and is venerated in wildly different forms both as a Maiden and as a Mother, implying that the Hungarian version of Mary contains elements of earlier, pagan female deities. She is also connected with the Sun as her celebration is connected to the Spring equinox. Linguistics also help, as certain animals have totemistic names which imply that they were revered in some way (bear, wolf, deer). Archaeological evidence also helps, there are lots of deer and falcon motives, tree motives and warriors are buried with their horses and equipment relating to horse riding. Bodies are also buried with everyday items placed on the opposite side of the body as they would be used in life, and lots of mirroring is going on with burials in general, implying some sort of "mirror afterlife" image, where certain things or perhaps everything is mirrored in some way. But we do not know what that actually means. We know there is also ancestor worship going on, as there are Christian laws mentioning sacrificing foodstuff at communal meals to feed the spirits of the ancestors. And there is one legend about the battle of Lechfeld where it is said that all the people that a warrior slays in battle will serve them in the afterlife. There are ostensibly Christian legends that mention God and the Devil (Ördög) creating the world together and being on equal footing. Murals of Saint Ladislaus fighting the Cumans are also somewhat unique in that it implies a dualistic worldview the way the king is depicted wearing white armor and riding a white horse while the Cuman he chases wears black armor and rides a black horse. Later Christian murals in Hungary abandon this and depict colors more realistically and to my knowledge this black-and-white imagery wasn't typical of Christian murals back then. But specific names like Hadúr and such are 19th century nationalist conjecture.

[@ArakeenArchivist]

Uhhh no. There's nothing "pagan" about the ways Hungarians venerated the Virgin Mary, which could be found in similar forms throughout medieval Europe. You shouldn't just assume something unique/ unexplained is "pagan." It's sloppy history.

[@schytoyamnaya9015]

@@ArakeenArchivist Its higly accepted, that the Hungarian Marie cult is based on the mixing of the Christian figure and an ancient Hungarian goddes figure, called Boldogasszony (Happy woman). In Transylvania, székely-hungarians called her Babba or Babba Mária, connecting her to the Moon, like she is the lady of the moon. There were even multiple Boldogasszony, connected to significant roles, and the leader of them was the Nagyboldogasszony (Great happy woman).

Nationalists of today will have you believe that their country would be the greatest in the world, if not for infighting and internal 'traitors'. This constant battling of monarchs and would-be kings has been happening for ages everywhere. Which is why world history should be taught in every school and take up much of the curriculum.
