History of the Khazars - Origins and the First Arab-Khazar War (Part I) 

Hey everyone, while I am all for people voicing their opinion, I've noticed that many of these comments don't add any value to the discussion and are simply hateful diatribes against others. Why all the hate? I'm debating whether to even continue with this series due to such comments. If you have a valid point to make, by all means please do so but keep it civil and clean. Please, don't make me shut off or have to individually approve comments. It's no fun for me and restricts what otherwise could be a great intellectual discussion. Thanks!

I would love to see Part 2!

Yeah, us Hungarians hang with the Khazars for like 200 years, but then they became all weird about it, so we were like "later losers" and left with a bunch of their tribes.

When will part two come out? You did a great job on part 1.

I would like to see part 2 !

Part 2 please. 🙌🏻

Extraordinarily good take on a much abused topic. Keep up your good work.

Ahh this was so helpful👏🏾 now the line is straight up here ....

I need the next parts of this now.

Nice work

Great video!

Derbent literally means 'the door is closed' (Persian "dar band"). Where the mountains almost reach the sea except for a narrow littoral just wide enough to hold a fortress.

New sub. Great find for me. Another awesome historical channel.

fascinating stuff! please continue this series

Excellent video. I could not find the sequel video. Please post a link. Msny thanks.

Wow thanks for this video!!! Arab Khazar war is hugely underrated war. It's about time that someone finally do a video on it.

we're still waiting for the part 2. let no one or anything discourages you from finishing this awesome history. and i really don't mind if you remove some inappropriate comments from the board. after all, this is your own channel, you can do anything you like here. By the way, i've once heard, that there was a civilization, an indigenous tribe in central america or perhaps south america, that were once a great tribe, expanding their borders without a single drop of blood. that is through negotiations, lobbies, collaborations, and the likes with neighboring tribes. so much so, that the said tribe were able to make other tribes use their language, even agree to use their currency as their national exchange note. do you happen to know this tribe?.. i really want to know.

Most enjoyable, thank you

Part 2 ,please! 😀

Excellent video. The people who lived on the Eurasian Steppe made a gigantic impact on human history. It's a shame that they aren't studied more in schools.

Cool video!

Interesting video. Arthur Koestler's book entitled The Thirteenth Tribe provides a reasonable overview on the Khazars. There are several other more scholarly treatises on Khazars and Khazaria, but said book are in Russian.

Bro thank you İ wanted the History of Khazar Turks and you did it😘

I've always found Khazar history lrerty interesting. Great video!

Selçuk who established the Seljuk Empire was a Khazar General. His sons names were Mikail(Michael), Musa(Moses), Davut(David), İsrail(Israel). He most likely converted to Islam and his grand children Tuğrul bey and Çağrı bey enteres Baghdad in 1058.

So pocchissimo su questo popolo. Nelle scuole a lezioni di storia non ci hanno raccontato di loro. Pero' dopo questo bellissimo video ho imparato anche di loro. Grazie per bellissi.e lezioni di storia! Tanti saluti,

Hey just wanted to say that I'd love to see part 2. This is enthralling! Much thanks!

Part 2 please

Looking forward to part 2

Where is part II? I cant wait!

this comment section is gonna be great 👌😂

Good video I'm a new sub

Thank u

GOOD VIDEO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your stuff on the ancient near East is great and informative. Can you please make videos like these on mesoamerica in the future?

Samandar : farthest gate Balanjar : highest gate Derbent : barred gate

that was a good informative video

A video regarding the Avars also would be interesting

The death of Ali was the consequence of the civil war (fitnah), not the cause.

5 minutes of commercials before a 10-min video. Thanks Gooey!

What happened to part 2?

The names of the cities are very similar to the names of the leaders of the Huns, this once again proves that the Huns are Türks

When Part II is coming?

Bro can you do a video about Tulunids and İkshidids after the khazar part 2?

History with Cy Which sources do you use i curious about this? My sources britannica,newworldencyclopedia(my favorite),geacron and sometimes wikipedia

Where is the second part?

2:50 - Hey, Khazars: many belated thanks for sending us the Bulgarians (and their offshoots, the Skopjans of Macedonia)! With love, from Greece. 🇬🇷

Reading a book called 'Dictionary of the Khazars' by Milorad Pavic. Thought I knew history. Know nothing of this empire

Did you ever make part 2?

My familys surname is khazar and I think I am a descendant of the khazars. After doing one of the famous dna tests I got the result that I have jewish blood, even though all of the contemporary people in my family members are Turkish

oh there so much epic names and storyes in that region, if u whanna i coud give a list of epic characters of Rus - brothers Galician Daniil and Vasilko for example - the epic story with the elements game of thrones - there a script of that thing but i dont know if this translated.... the brothers was great warriors - win many battles - and they often fight personal - there political schemes and plot twists and etc. also.

Where is part 2?

Finally, someone who CAN SPEAK CLEARLY and, precisely, eruditely. HARD to find decent videos on this topic.

How's Part 2 coming? Enjoyed Part 1

Do we have second part of this

Where s pt 2

Part Two????

The weird hatred in these comments is hilarious. It's been several centuries since a Khazar polity existed and you'd think any religion would be happy about new converts, especially seeing as they did it to spite Christians and Muslims, the two other Abrahamic religions that have oppressed Jews since either religion got started.

The description of "easternturks" is very fitting

So no part 2

Fucking awesome video... where's the 2 part???

they were also related to the hunes and the modern chuvash

@ 01:07 Theophanes = Thee-off-a-knees, not Thee-o-fanes.

Where is part 2

Put the big SPIN on this one! Lol

im khazar turks from Azerbaijan

part two?

My teacher played this video in class

The Khazars were Turks but the region in north Caspian steppes that they concourd and ruled was the land of Indo- European Scythian ( Same as Ashkenazi ).

But whey did the Arabs attacked the Khazars? What was the cause?

Hy .in asia a country was an union of tribes .is like german states . Avars early turkik and other hephtalita tribes was khazars .hun also was near the same union of tribes .in that time in a khaganate was a lot of religions .crestians hebreu or shaman or muslim .was an amalgame. Some kings from khazars has hebreu religion may be .but they was no semita tribes . Khazars was a hun faction .seeing weapons and batle tech .and huns speak about khazars like huns with another kings .ok anyway some say khazar not existed .anothers historians say khazar existed .in that zone in that khaganate was a bulgar hun magyar hephtalita amalgame .not forghet when a tribe was pushed not all was gone just a part of them .the interest of a conquesting one was not to see mankind free terytories . For example skits was from Carpates basin to asia later they became huns .black and white huns .nowdays who are they ?? Simple hungarians bulgars .a part of Ukraine people but laguage was changed .kazah turk mongol corea siberian tribes like bashkir .cecen dagesthan in india hunza also in switzerland in a valey you can find huns . About khazars aprouch sources in hungary .bulgaria turkey khazastan georgia Azerbaïdjan. Ok don t forghet in asia a country was based ln blood aliances intertribal blood aliances sometimes between tribes who not speeked the same language .or speaked laguages who was not far them . For example hungarian catedra find 4000 words between mongol and hungarian 3000 words between ujgur and hungarian. In sanscrit 600 words .Korosi Csoma Sandor was in tibet .a good source .turkik have 1400 words bashkir also bulgar .i can continuu .but the most amaizing think is 6000 words from sumerian match in nowdays hungarian .and mistr Mattei an italan guy found etrusc can be TRANSLATED just with the help of hungarian . Beeing an early form of it . The silk road was the zone of skits huns avars and other tribes asociated to them . Ok some hints .have a nice day .

HalleluYAH ✊🏾

It's not that they left so little it's that everyone after them made a point of destroying their sites all the way up to the Soviets, Stalin had a particular haterd for them!

Where is part two???

Any connection with khasas?

Just goes to show .. you should do a vid on sabbatism

Khazars and Guzar or Gurjar /Gojer are same ?

8:34 - 713;714.

Where's part 2?

A single jewish empire in history and a single Turco-Jewish state

Hazar Turks

Armenian history is world history . Its incredible . Proud Armenian

Hazar/Khazar/Gezer is Traveller/Nomad

looking for more info,..

The Hungarian kings used a contingent of mounted khazars as the royal bodyguards. The Hussars take their origin from them.

And also Khazars started the history of russia,ukraine,belarus and lithuania

The way this guy pronounces "origins" is, um, interesting.

I came for the comments.

They are Oghur Turks like Chuvashes,Bulgars,Huns,Pannonian Avars

What was the original nationality of them people back then

Thank you. I like the way you mention about "territory that is called today Armenia". In that time that territory was Azerbaijan. Russia divided territory of Azerbaijan following her political interests and gave away that part of territory. Not much changed since. Nowadays still same politic. Same problem over the territory, and people of Azerbaijan.

Could the khazars be related to the Caesars and the russian czars?

The Khazar people never converted to Judaism en masse. Their rulers converted but the people were free to be muslim christian or tengrist.

Tengri

Classic Turkic.Brave, conquering, incredibly maneuverable army.

Since Mohamed live from 670 to 732 , how could muslims fight in 640 ?

Kenite`s

Where the Khazars t one of the tribes or some of the tribes of Israel after the sack of Israel by the medo-persian or the Assyrians ?

Bernie Sanders is a Khazar, a very menacing warrior
