cheerful, showing calmness (!), helpful…). Oh, and let us not forget that the Warrior is not a “lone-wolf”,
as the media insist nowadays, but a social individual, who serves the community, who places the
interests of the community above his own interests because he knows that what is good for the
community is also good for him, but what is good only for himself is actually bad. It can also be seen
from this that these peoples (in their days of glory) had another characteristic: they possessed the
knowledge of their heavenly origins. Otherwise, why would tradition hold that the magori (Magyar)
people are also the People of Knowledge?
We had many heroes, among whom many were real Warriors: they demonstrated the characteristics
of Warriors. We hope that, with the help of these pictures, we can represent these characteristics
adequately.
Of course we know that here the idealization is “exaggerated” – not everybody was a brave hero, a
wise shaman or a faithful subject and the graphics of this album do not show the everyday people.
We would like the Reader – with the help of this album – to “get a feeling for” the organic culture that
characterizes us Hungarians and our related nations, to look into our heads a little and understand how
we, Hungarians, see our ancient history, our ancestors and our roots from “the inside”.

Hungarian history creates the bridge,
which – starting from the past and arching
over the present – leads to the future.
