The 300 Spartans: International Scholars Identifying Turkic Roots in European Languages
Until the early 20th century, global scholarship largely accepted that the roots of European languages lay in the Turkic or Turanian language family, in short, in Turkish. At the very least, the vast majority of scholars recognized and wrote about the deep Turkic influence in European languages going back thousands of years. However, over time, expressing this truth became politically and ideologically inconvenient. Many significant scholars who naturally expressed such views were systematically ignored. Key works of the past were forgotten, treated as if they had never been written. A scientific mediocracy was tasked with branding every perspective outside the official narrative as “unscientific.“ Today, even the most basic truths are targeted by this terror of mediocrity. This majority—Gugul-minded, Wiki-spectacled—blindly repeats clichés under the guise of science, disregards fundamental sources, avoids questioning, and refuses to investigate... Yet somehow, claims to know everything in just a few recycled sentences.
In what follows, you will see a quick overview of various scholars, writers, and works from ancient times to the present—those who voiced core truths shaped by the reality of life itself. These are the most valuable scholars of their time and today.
These people did not write these things because they loved the Turks. They did so out of scientific responsibility, objectivity, and because it was their duty as scholars. Many of them did not even like the Turks; some outright hated them. Likewise, it’s not some starry-eyed love affair with Turkishness that motivates me, but rather a deep commitment to truth. When truths are deliberately obscured, and even the tiniest spark of knowledge or insight is attacked by conditioned minds like programmed robots, my passion only grows stronger.
The scholars listed here wrote these things out of a deep longing for truth—a trait often crushed throughout history—and from a relentless curiosity. Fortunately, despite all the suffocating mediocrity, there are still people who burn with such passion.
