The history of England between 410 and the 9th century is a complete and total clusterfuck illuminated by mad monks and chroniclers. We know very little about the period at all and everything we do know is based on guesswork, archaeological evidence and brief mentions in the Anglo-Saxon chronicles from centuries later. Reconstructions of the period are fraught with dangers, especially when dealing with the idea of a historical King Arthur.

The Huns actually. Thanks to the fact that the Romans fucked up their historiography.
We really have no real idea where the main clan came from. Its generally from the Eastern Steppes and the fact that they weren't identified as any of the known Steppe Nomads meant that they were most likely Altaic.
But then with names like "Attila" or "Bleda" they were also hinted to be of Ugric.

I'm pretty sure Attila is supposed to be a title. And it probably has something to do with "father" in a Turkic language, cf. Ataturk, father of Turks.
>>600524
The Xiongnu were BTFO by the Han but for all intents and purposes, stayed in the Steppes. But they just became a bitch-tribe fallen from power.
They were still there in 200's AD, according to Records of teh Three Kingdoms.
Yes there was a westward migration of Altaics by the 300's-400's AD, but we dont know if
1) The Huns were one of them or
2) The Huns were an Ugric tribe pushed by migrating Altaicniggers.

The descriptions by Jordanes and Priscus strongly imply that they were Mongoloid in appearance. Some Persian chronicles also mention that the White Huns (Hephthalites) differ from regular Huns in that they are not "ugly", when we know that Hephthalites were Iranic and so Caucasoid.
Obviously it's hard to tell with steppe nomad confederations as it's easy for a tribe to change allegiance regardless of its ethnic background, but generally the Huns were Asiatic.

They developed out of the Canaanite culture in the area and eventually formed a religious identity out of the special veneration of Yahweh. The lost tribe stuff is the result of the Babylonian captivity as far as I know. When the priests and other captives came back, the took a different religion back because of their experiences (Babylonian influences, monotheistic, text-based). The locals/former Hebrews hasn't been exposed to that religion and didn't practice it, so the returners stopped considering them Jews as a result. Look at the Samaritans as an example.

Genghis Khan is a mystery when you think about how big of a historical figure he really was. He conquered huge territories in the Middle East and China, invading areas that were known to be excellent record keepers.
But we have no idea what he looked like, what year he was born, what year he died, how he died or where he was buried. We don't even have that many quotes from him besides the "flail of god" letter.
All we have is some random Muslim chronicler who said that it was weird Kublai didn't have his father's red hair, and a source that said he had "cat-like eyes".
There's a bunch of stories that say he died from falling off a horse, a sickness, poisoned, etc.

>>604465
The problem is that the frequency of characters perfectly matches what you'd expect from an actual language, rather than random scrawlings or a cipher.
It's basically accepted among cryptographers that the text represents a real language, written down straight-forwardly, in its own script. Of course, they've been unable to translate it as anything we know of, but I've seen a pretty good argument made for it being a Semitic or Afro-Asiatic language, based on transliterations of the horological charts and what have been identified as likely to be the major botanical words. By that theory, the script would be a partial abjad that used capitalization and used separate characters to show a sort of umlaut.

Anyways, somebody spot me here, didn't the Greeks have laws saying that people over 65 didn't need to fight in case of war? It was common enough for such rules to be enacted, obviously.

leemayo. I'm from the area and was always autistic about NC history. The Lumbee aren't a tribe and aren't native americans. They're creoles descended from former slaves who mixed with an already mixed population of settlers/natives. Also they're the epitome of human trash.
>>609237
>The Lumbee aren't a tribe and aren't native americans.
There's more to the "existence" of tribes than federal recognition. Seriously, look into the recognition process. Recognition can be denied for completely arbitrary things, and when you combine that with the political issues that come with recognition, as well as problems that come from popular conceptions of authenticity, it's a pretty messed up system.
Also, they're not the only ones that claim ancestry from the Roanoke settlers, they're just the ones who brought it up most through history.

Considering what the British did around the area, they probably weren't always so isolated for thousands and thousands of years like people claim, especially since their language is related to other islanders' nearby. A Brit ship probably just showed up and fucked their shit up, and afterwards they ingrained the tradition of "if anyone comes around from the ocean fuck them up IMMEDIATELY" into their culture.

"Culturally and linguistically, the Yenisei Kirghiz were Turkic. The Kirghiz were described in Tang Dynasty texts as having primarily Caucasian features, with some having East Asian features.[14] According to the Tang Huiyao (961 CE) article on Jiegu (the Kirghiz), which very likely comes from the Xu Huiyao that Yang Shaofu and others completed in 852, citing Ge Jiayun, who was the Protector General of Anxi:[14]
During the reign period of Kaiyuan of [emperor] Xuanzong, Ge Jiayun, composed A Record of the Western Regions, in which he said "the people of the Jiankun state all have red hair and green eyes. The ones with dark eyes were descendants of Li Ling.
It further mentioned that the name "Xiajiasi", by which the Kirghiz were then known, was what the Uyghurs called them and had the meaning "yellow head and red face"
What the FUCK was even going on in Siberia back in the day? Did caucasians go north west? If so, why weren't there any found towards the modern day? Did ALL of them migrate away or intermix? It's fucking weird.

Nope.jpg. Indo-Iranians and whoever the Tocharians were were the natives of that bit of Central Asia.
Its the Altaics that culturally enriched them. Hence that fact that some Central Asians of the Altaic Language group look Iranic/Have red/blonde hair.
That said, Imperial Chinese found red hair disgusting. One for reasons unknown, another for the fact that this feature can be found in Indo-Iranian Steppe Niggers who raided the western borders/kingdoms of Zhou/Warring States China. Why they didn't find blonde as disgusting I have no idea.
While today the Chinese do not think red hair is disgusting, the prejorative survives. The slur for white people in China is "Hongmao" or in the South, "Angmo." Meaning "Red Hair." A shortened form of the old term "Hongmaofan" (Red Haired Barbarian.)

Archaeology doesn't give enough information to dispute anything i've said. Only mad fuckers would think otherwise. Knowing the styling of a pottery shard or the distance between foundations based on rotted wood does not tell us as much about a 200 year old period as you might think.

It's pretty clear you have no fucking clue how archaeology works. It's not limited to material culture, and nor is it limited to face-value interpretations like you seem to think. You can find out an awful lot more from the archaeological record than building foundations and pottery typologies.
>if you could point me to anything substantive and authoritative i'd be happy though
The Anglo-Saxon World by Higham and Ryan is recent and a very good overview. It's a field that is actually undergoing a huge expansion in terms of literature, even the immediate post-Roman period is really benefiting from the developments in archaeological science, especially soil micromorphology.
