Who are the Germans?
A SMALL CENTRAL ASIAN ELEMENT IN GERMANY?
One branch of the Scythians were the Huns. Apparently, "Hun" means "ten", indicating that possibly ten
different nations comprised the Huns. Speaking of the Scythians, Tacitus wrote thus of them in his Histories:
Those vast Scythian peoples whom all our ancestors, and even the famous Alexander the Great, had feared
and avoided according to the testimony of Pompeius, Trogus and Cornelius. . .I mean the Alans [a Nordic
people] and the Huns, and the Goths [Nordic types]. lxiv
Obviously, then, the Huns were regarded as part of the Scythian hordes. lxiv Ammianus Marcellinus mentions that
the Huns dealt in "terrific slaughter" and were "the most terrible of warriors" — "like unreasoning beasts. . .untamed
men." lxiv It was they against whom the Chinese built their Great Wall beginning 214 B.C. They conquered a
part of China, some intermarrying with the Chinese.
After their expulsion they trekked to the region east of the Caspian Sea and into the Russian steppes. In Roman
times they settled in what we call Hungary today. Although a few of the western Huns were Mongoloid, most
were clearly white. lxiv Amongst their ranks were even Nordic types who had green or blue eyes and red hairlxiv which was apparent even among the Scythians. lxiv Like the Tochari Scythianslxiv the Huns reached China, and
like the Scythians were driven out of China, migrating towards Europe. lxiv Is it a coincidence that the Scythians in
the east were known as the Tehunilxiv (Whilst in northern China, the Chinese adopted their art-stylelxiv which
was clearly Assyrianlxiv). As they migrated westward,
In many cases, the Huns took the overrun Germanic tribes along with them, the latter often becoming cavalry
warriors and adopting the Hun culture. In other cases, the fleeing Germanic tribes were forced to seek
refuge close to the border of the Roman Empire. lxiv
Todd in his book The Barbarians explains that although the Germans are not the Huns, nevertheless their history
is very much bound up together. lxiv With them were the Alans, Gepids, Slavs and Goths. lxiv He adds:
Like all nomadic peoples they are extremely difficult to track down by the usual techniques of archaeology. lxiv
However, the Huns managed to unite much of Europe into a confederation of states, comprising all Europe south
of Scandinavia, but north of the Roman Empire. Apparently, no one yet knows how this happened or what political
genius was employed to organize this vast territory. Only a people of great cunning and organizational skills could
have managed to pull off a "coup" as gigantic as this one. Yet they gave their allegiance to these Huns, as if this
were a means of uniting against Rome. Of this strange phenomenon, Hertz wrote:
The Tauern Range in the Austrian Alps may be connected with a Mount Tabor in Palestine, with Tabriz,
Taurus, etc. . .Especially in the Alps, geographical names often seem to point towards Asia, eg, Carinthia,
Carniola, Tyrol, Styria, Lech, Tegernsee, Enns, Gastein, Moll, Sill, Rhein, Brixen, Bregenz, and numerous
others. lxiv
. . .Most of the Teutonic tribes, the Ostrogoths, Gepids, Quads, Marcomanni, Suevi, Thuringians, Ripurian
Franks, were. . . forced. . .to. . .go to war for their overlords [the Huns]. lxiv
Then came the Avars, also an Ural-Altaic tribe, whom historical sources identify with the Huns. Their rule
extended over Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia. . .at times even up to Middle and North Germany, hordes of
Avars settled in Upper Franconia where their physical traits are still said to be recognised in the population
(Wirth). lxiv
When the Huns migrated westward, they set themselves over the Turkic Khazars. lxiv Undoubtedly, some
intermarriage between the two stocks occurred. When the Khazar empire started coming apart due to Russian
attacks, the Magyars decided to move on. There were seven major tribes of Magyar Huns and three tribes of
Khazars. They called themselves the "On Ogar" meaning the "Ten Arrows." After settling in modern-day Hungary,
many of the western Khazars left the Magyars and migrated westwards, finally "disappearing."
However, where did those semi-Mongoloid elements "disappear" to? Tiny traces of Turkic Mongoloid are still
noticeable in parts of southern and eastern Germany to both the traveller and especially anthropologists. These are
