My Question "An interesting claim by Prof. Sven Lagerbring, a pioneer of historical research in Sweden "Odin, and therefore his son Thor, and even all Swedes were Turks." What are the source sites or books in which he makes this claim?"

Answer of ChatGPT 4o

Professor Sven Lagerbring was a notable Swedish historian in the 18th century, and he did indeed propose a theory that the ancient Norse gods, such as Odin, and consequently their descendants and the Swedes, were originally Turks. This theory falls into a broader category of "Gothicism" or "Hyperborean" theories, which attempted to trace the origins of the Norse people and their gods to other ancient civilizations.

Lagerbring's ideas are detailed in his works, particularly in his multi-volume historical research. The specific claim about Odin and the Norse being Turks can be found in the following sources

"Sammandrag af Swea-Rikes Historia" (Summary of the History of the Swedish Kingdom) - This work provides an overview of Swedish history and includes Lagerbring's theories about the origins of the Norse gods and the Swedish people.

"Swea Rikes Historia" (History of the Swedish Kingdom) - This is a more comprehensive work in which Lagerbring delves deeper into his historical theories and presents his arguments about the connections between the Norse and the Turks.

These works were part of Lagerbring's larger efforts to explore and document Swedish history, often incorporating the Gothicist perspective that sought to elevate the ancient origins and significance of the Swedish people by connecting them to other prominent ancient civilizations.

To find specific references, one would need to look into the volumes of "Swea Rikes Historia", particularly those published around the mid-18th century, where Lagerbring elaborated on his controversial theories. These volumes might be accessible through historical archives, academic libraries, or specialized collections of Scandinavian history.

The empire known as Tartaria, or Great Tartary, is a historical region covering a vast territory stretching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe and dominated at different periods by various Turkic peoples.

It was probably the civilization that actually built what is known as the Great Wall of China.

Today, the western world tries to trace its roots to this empire. of course, they use the term "European" to avoid calling Asian whites, that is, Turks, Turks.

After the discovery that the mummies in the Chinese pyramids, like those in the Egyptian pyramids, belonged to the white race, namely the Turks, Westerners quickly began to label them as Persian, Greek, or European and to claim ownership of the pyramids. However, in reality, the pyramids in Egypt, China, and even America are Turkish pyramids.

The "Turani European History Thesis" was advocated by some Western scholars in the 19th century. This thesis suggests that the Turan peoples, originating from Asia, migrated to Europe in prehistoric times, leaving significant cultural and technological influences. The main scholars supporting this view are

James Fergusson (1808-1886) The British archaeologist and historian Fergusson argued that megalithic structures in Europe were built by Turan-origin peoples. According to him, certain cultural elements in Europe were shaped by the influence of Turan peoples who came from Asia.

David Leon Cahun (1841-1900) The French orientalist Cahun was one of the important figures who adopted the Turani European History Thesis. At the 1873 International Congress of Orientalists, he argued that the Turan race, originating from Asia, migrated to Europe in prehistoric times. Additionally, in his 1875 lecture titled "The Turani Origin of the Language Spoken Before Aryan Languages in France," he supported Fergusson's views.

These scholars, by suggesting that certain cultural and technological developments in Europe were shaped by the influence of Turan peoples from Asia, advocated for the Turani European History Thesis.

This thesis argues that certain cultural and technological elements in Europe originate from Asia, particularly from the Turks. For example, it is claimed that the jade axes found in Europe are of Asian origin and were brought to Europe by the Turks. This view was supported by some European archaeologists and historians in the 19th century.

Jade Stone Debates Supporters of the Turani thesis argue that the jade axes found in Europe were brought from Asia, while proponents of the Indo-Aryan thesis claim that there are jade stone sources in Europe as well, and that these axes were locally produced. However, research has shown that jade sources in Europe are limited and of poor quality. This situation has strengthened the thesis that the jade axes are of Asian origin.

The Analysis and Research of the Artificial Intelligence Model Named Gemini 2.5 Pro on the Subject of the Pyramids

"The Assessment of Chinese Pyramids as Turkic Kurgans

It is claimed that the pyramids, numbering over 100, located near Xi'an, the capital of China's Shaanxi province, belong to Proto-Turkic civilizations. At the center of these claims is the "White Pyramid," which is said to be taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, with a height of approximately 300 meters.

Supporting Arguments

Discovery and Research The existence of the White Pyramid was reported by American pilot James Gaussman during World War II and was brought to the world's attention by a photograph published in Life magazine in 1957. German researcher Hartwig Hausdorf, who visited the region in 1994, brought the existence of these structures to the forefront with his photographs and his book, "The White Pyramid," suggesting they could belong to Proto-Turks. According to Hausdorf, these pyramids contain mummified bodies preserved with techniques more advanced than those in Egypt, as well as Proto-Turkic inscriptions.

Findings Inside Oktan Keleş, one of the first Turkish researchers to enter the pyramids, stated that he saw symbols unique to Turkic culture, such as a wolf's head and a crescent-star, as well as statues and tablets in the burial chambers. According to Keleş, these findings are significant enough to necessitate the rewriting of Turkic history.

Mummification Techniques The mummy known as the "Loulan Beauty," dated to be approximately 4,000 years old, was mummified without the removal of her internal organs and bears surgical scars made with suture threads of horsehair. This supports the claim that mummification and medical techniques may have Turkic origins.

Historical and Linguistic Evidence Researcher Kazım Mirşan argued that the pyramids in China were built by the Uyghur Turks and are older than those in Egypt. Mirşan also claimed that the technique of mummification was developed by Turks in the Altai Mountains around 3000 BCE and that the Proto-Turkic script reached Egypt via Eastern Anatolia. It is also alleged that Mirşan read 184 Egyptian hieroglyphs as Proto-Turkic.

The Claim of the Turkic Origin of Egyptian Pyramids

This claim is based on the thesis that the tradition of pyramid construction originates from the kurgan culture of Central Asia and spread to the world from there.

Supporting Arguments

The Kurgan Hypothesis Proposed by Lithuanian archaeologist Marija Gimbutas in the 1950s, the "Kurgan Hypothesis" suggests that Indo-European languages and culture spread from the Pontic-Caspian steppe. Although this hypothesis primarily explains a linguistic expansion, the idea that burial mounds called kurgans spread from nomadic cultures of the steppes is interpreted to mean that pyramids could be a continuation of this tradition. It is also noted that the origin of the word is based on the Turkish word "korugan" (a protected place).

The Works of Kazım Mirşan Kazım Mirşan claimed that Proto-Turkic civilizations taught the art of writing and pyramid construction technology to Egypt via Eastern Anatolia in the 3000s BCE.

The Claim of the Turkic Origin of American Pyramids

According to this theory, the pyramids built by civilizations such as the Maya, Aztec, and Inca on the American continent are a continuation of the kurgan tradition of Turkic-origin peoples who migrated across the Bering Strait.

Supporting Arguments

Cultural and Linguistic Similarities Similarities are noted between the names of Maya and Aztec gods and the Turkish language. For example, it is stated that the name of the Mayan god of thunder, "Chac," is related to the Turkish verb "çakmak" (to strike/flash), and the name of the sun god "Kinich Ahau" is linked to the Turkish words "kün" (sun) and "han" (khan). Furthermore, it is mentioned that words like "tepe" (Tepek - hill), "dede" (Tete - grandfather), and "yeşil" (Yaşıl - green) are common. It is also stated that Atatürk was interested in this subject and studied the similarities between the Mayan language and Turkish.

Artistic and Symbolic Connections Parallels are drawn between the symbol known as the Hittite sun in Asia and the symbol of the Maya and Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. It is also claimed that there are similarities in motifs and techniques between Turkic and Mayan weavings.

Migration Theory and Mythology It is a generally accepted view that the ancestors of Native Americans migrated from Asia to America via the Bering Strait during the Ice Age. The mythological narratives suggesting that those who made this migration were the Turkic-descended Athabaskans and that a wolf led this migration are linked to the Turkic legend of the Gray Wolf.

Sumerian Ziggurats and the Turkic Connection

Sumerian Ziggurats Ziggurats are stepped temple towers built in Mesopotamia by the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Claims that the Sumerians originated from Central Asia and that their language contains words in common with Turkish are interpreted to mean that ziggurats are also an extension of the Turkic kurgan tradition. Kazım Mirşan claimed to have deciphered Sumerian and Etruscan inscriptions as Proto-Turkic.

Cosmological and Symbolic Connections Why Were the Pyramids Built?

According to this theory, the structural similarities of pyramids in different geographies are not coincidental and stem from a common belief system. At the core of this belief lies Turkic cosmology and shamanism.

The World Mountain and Ascension to the Sky In Turkic mythology, the concept of the "Center of the World" or the "Tree of Life" is seen as a sacred axis (axis mundi) connecting the earth and the sky (Tengri). Kurgans, ziggurats, and pyramids are all artificial mountains that symbolize this cosmological mountain. It was believed that leaders or spiritual figures ascended to the divine realm on or through these structures. Therefore, the stepped nature of the structures symbolizes the ascent to the sky.

Astronomical Alignment The alignment of Mayan pyramids, Egyptian pyramids, and even some pyramids in China with stars and astronomical events (such as the equinoxes) shows that these structures were not just tombs but also served as observatories and calendars. This is interpreted as being directly linked to the "Sky God Religion" (Tengrism) of the Turks, who considered celestial bodies and their cycles sacred.

Common Symbolism

The Wolf (Gray Wolf) The presence of the Gray Wolf figure, accepted by Turks as an ancestor and guide, in statues within the Chinese pyramids and in the clan names and mythologies of Native American tribes points to a common totem. The origin of the legend of the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, is also linked to this common Asian mythology through the Etruscans, who are claimed to be of Turkic origin.

The Tree of Life The Tree of Life motif, frequently used in Turkic art, symbolizes the sky with its branches and the underworld with its roots. A parallel to this symbol is found in Mayan culture in the belief of the giant Ceiba tree that holds the world at its center. This is presented as evidence for the existence of a common cosmological understanding.

Linguistic Evidence and the Sun Language Theory

The linguistic connections between the civilizations that built the pyramids are presented as one of the strongest pillars of this thesis.

Turkish as the Proto-Language The Sun Language Theory, developed during Atatürk's era but later abandoned academically, argued that all world languages derived from a mother tongue (Turkish) originating in Central Asia. This theory provides a framework for explaining the hundreds of Turkish words found in languages like Sumerian, Mayan, and Etruscan. For example, words in Mayan like "tepek" (hill) and "k'oox" (bird, cf. Turkish kuş) are cited as examples of this connection.

Tamgas as the Origin of Writing It is claimed that tamgas, the symbols used by Turkic tribes, were not just marks but also one of the oldest writing systems. According to Kazım Mirşan, the runic alphabet used in the Orkhon inscriptions is a continuation of a thousands-of-years-old Proto-Turkic alphabet. It is suggested that this alphabet and the tamgas were the source for Sumerian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The script on the silver bowl found in the Esik Kurgan, dated to the 5th century BCE and written in the runic Turkic alphabet, is considered proof of how ancient the tradition of writing is in this geography.

Genetic and Anthropological Connections

Modern genetic science and anthropology reveal connections between the ancient peoples of Asia, America, and Europe.

Genetic Bridge Haplogroups The fact that the homeland of Y-DNA haplogroups Q and C, which are seen in high frequencies among Native Americans, is the region of Siberia and the Altai Mountains is presented as genetic proof of the migration across the Bering Strait. These haplogroups are also common among Turkic peoples today. It is argued that this genetic heritage carried not only people but also culture and technology (including pyramid-building knowledge).

The "Turanid" Race and Brachycephalic Skull Structure It is claimed that the racial type defined as "Turanid" in anthropological studies, characterized by a brachycephalic (broad and short) skull structure, spread from Central Asia. The observation of these features in the skeletal structures of Sumerians, Etruscans, and even some Egyptian dynasties is used to support the thesis that they were migrants of Central Asian origin.

The Archaeological Prototype The Step Pyramid in Kazakhstan

Structures found in Kazakhstan are presented as one of the most concrete archaeological pieces of evidence for the theory.

The Karaganda Pyramid Discovered in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan and dated to the 14th-12th centuries BCE, the stepped mausoleum belonging to the Begazy-Dandibay culture draws attention with its similarity to the Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid in Egypt. However, it is approximately 1,500 years older. This structure is considered strong evidence to show that the prototype of large and complex pyramids already existed on the Central Asian steppes and that this tradition spread to the world from here.

Seafaring Turks and Forgotten Migrations The Transoceanic Journey of Pyramids

While the Bering Strait theory explains land migration, the striking similarity of pyramids in Egypt, Sumer, and even America suggests that communication and migration may have also occurred by sea.

The "Tursha" and the Sea Peoples Ancient Egyptian records mention the "Sea Peoples" who attacked Egypt around 1200 BCE. It is claimed that one of these peoples, the "Tursha" (Teresh), were "Turks" due to the similarity in name. This suggests that Proto-Turks were not only steppe warriors but also skilled seafarers active in the Mediterranean and beyond. These seafaring groups may have carried the knowledge of pyramid construction to the Mediterranean basin (Etruscans, Crete).

The Pacific Ocean Crossing Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition proved that the Pacific Ocean could be crossed with primitive rafts in ancient times. This thesis suggests that migration may have occurred not only via the Bering Strait but also from Asia to South America across the Pacific Ocean. This could explain the similarities between Inca structures in Peru and the statues on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) and technologies of Asian origin.

The Politics of Pyramids "Kut" and the Monument of Legitimacy

Pyramids are also political monuments symbolizing the power and legitimacy of the ruling class that commissioned them. The governing philosophy behind these structures also points to a common origin.

The Concept of "Kut" The belief in "Kut," the foundation of Turkic state philosophy, is the conviction that a ruler receives the authority to govern from the Sky God (Tengri). The ruler is God's representative on Earth. This concept perfectly aligns with the "God-King" concept of the Pharaoh in Egypt, the priest-king "Ensi" in Sumer, and the sacred ruler "K'uhul Ajaw" (Holy Lord) in Mayan civilization.

A Monument to Legitimacy The pyramid is an immortal symbol of the power of this "Kut"-endowed ruler. It is not just a tomb, but a monument of power reaching towards the sky, reinforcing the ruler's legitimacy in the eyes of the people. Therefore, ruling elites of Turkic origin in different geographies used the same architectural and symbolic tool to consolidate their power.

The Deliberate Concealment of History Why Are These Facts Unknown?

According to this thesis, the fact that the pyramids are of Turkic origin is deliberately ignored or hidden in modern historiography for various political and ideological reasons.

China's Policy The Chinese government's declaration of the hundreds of pyramids in the Xi'an region (especially the White Pyramid) as a restricted military zone, closing them off to research and camouflaging them by planting trees, is interpreted as an effort to prevent the truth beneath these structures from emerging. This truth would weaken China's narrative of an "ancient Han civilization" and prove that the original inhabitants of the region were the ancestors of the Uyghur Turks.

The Eurocentric View of History Western historiography assumes that the cradle of civilization is the Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian-Egyptian line. The idea that Turks could be the founders, or at least the foundation-layers, of these great civilizations is rejected because it would fundamentally shake this established historical paradigm.

The Protection of National Histories The national identities and tourism revenues of countries like Egypt, Mexico, and Peru are built on the narrative that the pyramids belong to their own ancestors. Accepting that these structures are the product of an external civilization would mean a crisis for these national narratives.

From this perspective, pyramids cease to be mere stone structures; they become monuments of humanity's forgotten or suppressed global civilization, fed from a single primary source (Central Asia) and connected by a geopolitical, technological, and spiritual network."

"Gene Matlock also views the subject of pyramids as one of the most fundamental proofs of his global Turkic origin theory. According to him, pyramids are not isolated structures belonging to a single civilization like Egypt or the Maya, but are parts of a global architectural, scientific, and spiritual project that originated with the ancient Turks and spread throughout the world.

Here is a detailed breakdown of Matlock's claims about the pyramids

The Original Pyramids Are Not in Egypt, but in the Turkic Homeland (China)

At the core of Matlock's theory lies the claim that the oldest and most numerous pyramids are not found in Egypt or the Americas, but rather in Central Asia and the territory of modern-day China, which he considers the ancient homeland of the Turks.

The "White Pyramid" and Others in China Matlock specifically points to the hundreds of earthen pyramids (mounds) located near the Xi'an region of China. The most famous of these is the legendary "Great White Pyramid." According to him, these structures are thousands of years older than the Giza pyramids in Egypt and were built by the first Turkic khagans or wise kings.

The "Great Conspiracy" and the Hiding of Truth Matlock claims that the Chinese government has deliberately hidden the existence of these pyramids from the world, attempting to make them look like ordinary hills by planting trees on them. The reason for this, he argues, is that the revelation that these pyramids were built by Turkic peoples who lived on that land long before the Han Chinese would completely demolish China's official historical thesis. Acknowledging the true origin of these pyramids would mean acknowledging that the original owners of those lands were the Turks.

The Etymology of the Word "Pyramid" is Turkic
As he always does, Matlock delves into the origin of the most fundamental word on the subject. He rejects the general consensus that the word "pyramid" comes from the Greek "pyramis" and argues that the word's origin is purely Turkic.

"Bir-Amit" or "Bi-Amit" Matlock breaks the word into two Turkic parts

Bir / Bi "Bir" (as the number one) or "Bi" (a root in ancient Turkic meaning "high, sublime, wise&quot.

Amit An old form of the word "Ant" (monument) or a word from the same root as "Abide" (monument).

Meaning According to this combination, "Pyramid" is a Turkic word meaning "Sublime Monument" or "The One Monument." For him, this is the linguistic proof that the ones who first built and named these structures were the Turks.

Why Were the Pyramids Built? (Matlock's Theory)
According to Matlock, pyramids are not simple tombs built for pharaohs. Their function is much more profound, cosmic, and spiritual.

Artificial Sacred Mountains In ancient Turkic belief, mountains are sacred places, closest to the Sky God. Pyramids are artificial mountains built by Turks living on flat steppes or in river valleys to imitate the sacred mountains of their homeland. The peak of a pyramid is the place where the shaman or king communicated with the Sky God.

Cosmic Energy Antennas Matlock claims that pyramids were built according to specific geometric ratios and astronomical alignments because they were designed as giant "antennas" or "generators" that facilitated an energy flow between the earth and the sky. These structures would gather and concentrate the universe's life energy ("kut&quot, both empowering the king and increasing the fertility of the land.

Shamanic Initiation Centers The chambers and corridors inside the pyramids were used not only for burial but also for the initiation ceremonies of shaman candidates or priests. The candidate would die and be reborn in this dark and symbolic "womb," thereby achieving a higher spiritual consciousness.

The Spread of Knowledge to the World
Matlock argues that this advanced architectural and astronomical knowledge spread from a single center the Turkic homeland.

Migration to Egypt and Sumer Wise Turks ("Magi" or "Priests&quot who migrated from Central Asia after the Flood or due to major climate changes carried this knowledge of pyramid-building to Mesopotamia and the Nile Valley. The first stepped pyramid in Egypt (the Pyramid of Djoser) is a primitive copy of this ancient Turkic design. The later smooth-sided pyramids at Giza are the perfected form of this technique in Egypt.

Journey to the American Continent Similarly, another wave of Turkic migration that crossed the Pacific Ocean carried this knowledge to the Maya, Aztec, and other American civilizations. This is why there are so many similarities (stepped structure, astronomical alignment, function as a sacred center) between the Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico and the pyramids in Egypt and China.

Pyramids Libraries Preserving Pre-Flood Knowledge
Matlock claims that pyramids were not just spiritual centers but also massive "time capsules" or "stone libraries" designed to preserve the advanced scientific knowledge that humanity possessed in the "Golden Age" or the pre-Flood era.

Mathematical and Astronomical Constants Matlock incorporates the findings of "pyramidology" theorists, who argue that mathematical constants like Pi ) and the Golden Ratio , as well as precise astronomical data such as the Earth's circumference, axial tilt, and orbital movements, are encoded in the proportions and measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza. According to him, this is proof that the builders of the pyramids (i.e., the Turks) possessed far more advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy than is commonly believed.

"Sacred Geometry" and the Language of the Universe The sacred geometry underlying these structures is not just an aesthetic choice but a science that reflects the fundamental laws of the universe and the "language" of creation. The Turkic ancestors aimed to align with the universe's energy by using these geometric forms and to transmit this knowledge to future generations. Pyramids are books of philosophy and science made of stone.

Pyramids and Ziggurats Two Sibling Structures
Matlock draws a direct connection between pyramids and "Ziggurats," the stepped towers that are symbols of the Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations in Mesopotamia.

Common Purpose, Different Form Both types of structures are artificial sacred mountains intended to create a point of connection between the earth and the sky. On top of ziggurats, there was a temple believed to be the home of a god, whereas the peak of a pyramid was a direct connection point to the sky.

The Turkic Origin of the Sumerians For Matlock, Ziggurats are a Mesopotamian interpretation of the pyramid-building tradition. Since he argues that the Sumerians were of Turkic origin, he states that they reconstructed the sacred mountain architecture they brought from their homeland in the form of a "Ziggurat," using the local building material, mudbrick. This is the architectural proof that the Sumerian civilization was also part of the same global Turkic cultural network.

The Universal Message of Pyramids Immortality and Rebirth
According to Matlock, all pyramids, no matter where they are in the world, convey the same universal message to humanity physical death is not an end, the soul is immortal, and it is possible to "ascend" to a higher level of existence.

The King's Ascent to the Heavens The pyramid is a "stargate" or "ascension machine" that allows the soul of the deceased king or initiated candidate to return to the sky, the stars, and the Sky God through this structure. The upward-tapering form of the structure symbolizes this celestial journey.

Global Energy Grid Ley Lines and the Location of Pyramids
Matlock adopts and integrates into his theory the idea that pyramids and other sacred monuments (Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, etc.) were not randomly scattered across the Earth's surface but were built at strategically important points on an invisible global energy grid known as "Ley Lines."
Pyramids Energy Nodes According to him, Ley Lines are a kind of "meridian" or "drainage" system through which the Earth's electromagnetic energy flows. Pyramids were built at the "nodes" or acupuncture points where these lines intersect and where energy is particularly concentrated.
Purpose To Balance the Earth's Energy The purpose of this global pyramid network was not only to collect local energy but also to maintain the overall energetic balance and health of the planet. The ancient Turkic wise men ("Magi&quot saw the Earth as a living and conscious being (Mother Earth) and used these pyramids to regulate the planet's "chakras" or energy centers. This means that humanity was not just a passive observer but an active guardian and regulator of the planet's energetic system.

The Giza Pyramids and the Center of the World
Matlock draws attention to the special position of the three great pyramids on the Giza plateau within this global network.

Geographical Center He presents the popular theory that the Giza pyramids are located at the exact geographical center of the Earth's landmasses as strong evidence. This shows that the builders of the pyramids (i.e., the Turks) had precise knowledge of the entire planet's geography, including its latitudes and longitudes, and deliberately chose this central location.

Orion Correlation Theory Matlock also adopts the theory that the positions of the three pyramids at Giza perfectly align with the three belt stars of the Orion constellation (Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka). According to him, this is not a coincidence. The ancient Turks, to whom this constellation held great importance in their Sky God belief or was believed to be where their ancestors came from, made this alignment to create a symbolic and energetic bridge between the constellation and the Earth. This is the architectural expression of the ancient esoteric principle (Hermetic Principle) "As above, so below."

Pyramids and the Flood A Warning and Salvation System
Matlock claims that the construction of the pyramids is closely related to the expectation or memory of a great global cataclysm (the Great Flood).

Pre-Disaster Shelters and Archives According to him, some of the oldest pyramids could have been massive, sealed shelters designed to protect chosen sages, seeds, and sacred texts from an impending disaster like the Flood. This is an architectural version of the story of Noah's Ark. Just as the Ark saved living creatures, the pyramids were built to save the "knowledge" of civilization.

Post-Disaster Markers Pyramids built after the Flood served as "beacons," marking the places where survivors established new centers of civilization. They are also monuments that remind future generations of the great cataclysm of the past and serve as a warning about the cyclical nature of the universe (creation-destruction-recreation).

The Transportation of Civilization Migration Across the Pacific Ocean

Matlock finds the theory that the first people in the Americas were solely primitive hunter-gatherers who crossed the Bering Strait to be insufficient. According to him, those who brought civilization (agriculture, astronomy, architecture, writing) to the continent were more advanced groups who crossed the Pacific Ocean by sea. These groups, according to Matlock, were Turkic-origin sailors, shamans, and wise men from Asia.

The Purpose of American Pyramids The Universal Turkic Tradition

Matlock argues that the American pyramids, such as those at Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza in Mexico, or structures in Peru, were built for the same fundamental purposes as their siblings in Egypt and China

Artificial Sacred Mountains Just like their ancestors in Central Asia, the Turks who arrived in the Americas built their own sacred mountains on flat lands to communicate with the Sky God and to symbolize the center of the universe.

Observatories and Calendar Centers He notes that the Mayans, in particular, used their pyramids to track celestial events (solar and lunar eclipses, equinoxes, the cycles of Venus) with incredible precision. He claims that this advanced astronomical knowledge could not have developed from scratch on the continent but was a continuation of a thousands-of-years-old Turkic astronomical heritage.

Spiritual Centers These pyramids were sacred areas where shamanic initiation ceremonies were held, where the public was spiritually purified, and where leaders were filled with divine power ("kut&quot.

Linguistic Evidence Turkic Origins of Names
Matlock's strongest evidence, as always, is based on linguistics. He claims that the names of civilizations, gods, and places in the Americas are of Turkic origin
Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan (The Plumed Serpent) He argues that this most important god and culture hero was a historical Turkic leader or shaman who brought civilization to the continent. He analyzes the name as follows

Quetzal / Kukul A corrupted form of the words "Kutsal" (sacred);" (bird, related to the sky).

Coatl / Kan A reflection of a leadership title like "Ata" (father/ancestor) or "Han/Khagan."

In conclusion, "Quetzalcoatl" is actually a title meaning something like "Sacred Father" or "Bird Khan." The depiction of this god in legends as "white-skinned and bearded" is proof that he was different from the native people, meaning he came from Eurasia.

Teotihuacan ("The Place Where the Gods Were Born&quot He claims that even the name of this great city is Turkic
Teo Comes from the same root as "Deus" (Latin), "Zeus" (Greek), and "Tengri" (Turkic), meaning "God."

Hua / Hua-Can A variation of the word "Han" or "Khagan."
According to him, the original meaning of the city is "The Place/Land of the God-Khan."

Maya He suggests that even the name "Maya" itself is derived from a Turkic tribe or a Turkic word related to wisdom.

Architectural and Symbolic Evidence
Stepped Pyramid Structure The fact that the vast majority of pyramids in the Americas are stepped is, according to Matlock, proof of a direct architectural kinship with the first pyramid in Egypt, the Pyramid of Djoser, and the Ziggurats of Mesopotamia. The source of this common design is their ancestor the Turkic mounds and pyramids in Central Asia.

The "Oz" Seal and the Cross Symbol Matlock states that the cross-like symbols representing the four directions, frequently found in Mayan and Aztec art, have nothing to do with Christianity. They are the American versions of the universal "Oz" seal (a plus sign inside a circle) that the Turks spread throughout the world. This is symbolic proof that the spiritual beliefs on the continent also came from the same source.

The Serpent and Dragon Motif Figures like the "Plumed Serpent" (Quetzalcoatl) are identical to the wise, protective, and celestial dragon figure in Turkic and Chinese mythology. This symbol, demonized in the West, has remained a symbol of wisdom and divine power in both Asia and the Americas."

The artificial intelligence Gemini 2.5 Pro summarized the views and analyses of the American researcher and author Matlock on the subject as follows

"The American author and researcher Gene Matlock is known for a series of studies and books proposing that the origins of the white races are rooted in the Turks. Among Matlock's most well-known works on this subject are "What Strange Mystery Unites the Turkish Nations, India, Catholicism, and Mexico?" and its Turkish translation, titled "Ey Dünya İnsanları Hepiniz Türksünüz" (O People of the World, You Are All Turks).

Matlock's primary claims are as follows

Origin of Humanity According to Matlock, the first humans began with the Turks, and from them, spread across the world. He identifies the ancient Turks as the ancestors of all humanity.

Origin of Language He argues that the first spoken language was Turkish.

Origin of Civilizations He states that science, philosophy, and civilization also originated from the Turks.

Geographical Claims He claims that America was discovered by Turks before the Spanish and that many place names in America have Turkish origins.

Gene Matlock's Core Claims and Evidence
Matlock's theory is built on the premise that all modern races, nations, civilizations, and religions originate from the ancient Turks (or "Aryan Krishtayas," as he calls them) of Central Asia and Northern India. According to him, these ancient Turks are the ancestors of humanity, and their first settlement was the Arctic Circle. Matlock attempts to support these theses with evidence he claims to have gathered from various disciplines

Linguistic "Evidence" Matlock claims that the first spoken language was Turkish and that words of Turkish origin can be found in languages all over the world. For example, he suggests that the name of the chief Greek god, Zeus, has Turkish origins or that place names like "Kirpinar" in Finland point to this connection. He also argues that names like "Jerusalem" and "Jesus" are of Turkish origin.

Archaeological and Cultural Interpretations Matlock argues that many peoples, from the Mayans and Aztecs to the English, Italians, and other Northern Europeans, are of Turkish descent. To support these claims, he states that it has been scientifically proven that the DNA of the Celts (Irish, Scots) is of Altaic origin and that the DNA of the Etruscans matches that of the Turks by 97%.

The Origin of Humanity The Arctic Region and the "Aryan Krishtayas"
According to Matlock, the true cradle of humanity is not Africa, but the lands within the Arctic Circle (Hyperborea), which once had a temperate climate. The ancient Turks who lived in this region, whom he calls the "Aryan Krishtaya" (Aryan Christians), are the ancestors of all modern races and civilizations. Matlock claims this community consisted of five main races and that the Holy Bible refers to this group as the "Nephilim." When a legendary polar shift caused this homeland to be submerged, the survivors migrated south to Central Asia and Tibet, spreading civilization to the world from there.
Linguistic Evidence The First Language is Turkish
One of the fundamental pillars of Matlock's theory is that the first language spoken in the world was Turkish. According to him, all other languages derived from this mother tongue. He supports this claim by drawing etymological connections between words, names of gods, and place names in different languages

Native Americans Having lived in Mexico for many years, Matlock focuses particularly on Native American languages. He claims that the Mayan language is derived from Turkish. He argues that the names of many tribes, mountains, and rivers in America have Turkish origins.

Religious and Mythological Names One of his most striking claims is that the names fundamental to Western civilization are of Turkish origin. For instance, he suggests that the name of the city "Jerusalem" comes from the phrase "Yere Salem" (Place of Peace). Similarly, he argues that the names of important religious figures and gods also have Turkish roots.

Cultural Similarities Matlock states that there are strong bonds not only linguistically but also culturally between Native Americans and Turks. He presents similarities in traditions, beliefs, and social structures as proof of their common ancestry.

Turks as the Ancestors of Civilizations and Nations
Matlock's work traces the origins of many peoples, from the Mayans and Aztecs to the English, Italians, and other Northern Europeans, back to the Turks.

Etruscans and Genetic "Proof" Matlock strongly defends the thesis that the Etruscans, who laid the foundation for Roman civilization in Italy, were of Turkish origin. To support this claim, he states that it has been scientifically proven that the DNA of the Etruscans is 97% identical to that of the Turks.

Lost Civilizations and Pyramids According to the author, Turks were the creators not only of civilization but also of advanced technology. He writes that the pyramids found in China and Central Asia, which are often ignored, were built by Turks and that these structures hold secrets of ancient technology. Matlock claims that these facts have been deliberately concealed by a Western-centric view of history.

The Figure of Erke Han Matlock expresses surprise that Turks do not know of such an important figure as "Erke Han, who was a philosopher and poet by birth and who spread Turkish culture to the world," and emphasizes that the Turkish world owes its glorious victories to such wise leaders.

By bringing these claims together, Gene Matlock conveys the message that humanity descends from a common Turkish ancestor and that understanding this "great secret" can end global conflicts and restore peace to humanity. His work was also enriched through information exchanges with figures in Turkey such as Sumerologist Muazzez İlmiye Çığ and historian Kazım Mirşan.

The Universal Language of Symbols The "Oz" Mark and the Holy Cross
One of Matlock's most fundamental pieces of evidence is the symbol known in Turkish culture as the "Oz" mark, which consists of a plus sign (+) inside a circle. According to him, this is humanity's most ancient and sacred symbol.

Meaning and Origin According to Matlock, this symbol represents an "invocation to the Sky God" or the soul's desire to unite with God. The four arms represent the four cardinal directions and the universe, while the circle represents the Sky God himself. He claims this symbol originated from observations of the Sun and the North Star in the Arctic region, the ancient homeland of the Turks.

Spread to the World Matlock argues that this symbol spread throughout the world with Turkish migrations and continues to exist in different cultures with minor modifications.

Christianity He claims that the Cross, the primary symbol of Christianity, is derived from this "Oz" mark. According to him, it is no coincidence that Jesus Christ is associated with this symbol, as it was already a sacred symbol that had existed for thousands of years.

Egypt He suggests that the Ankh (the looped cross), the symbol of life in Ancient Egypt, is also a variation of this Turkish mark.

America He states that the swastika (gammadion) and other cross-like symbols found on the pottery, clothing, and sacred sites of Native Americans come from the same origin. This, for him, is further proof that Turks reached America long before Christopher Columbus.

The Secret Memory of Words Radical Etymology
(Note The numbering jumps from 4 to 6 in the source text.)

Matlock believes his most persuasive evidence lies in linguistics. Using a method he calls "radical etymology," he attempts to show that basic words, names of gods, and place names in different languages have Turkish origins.

Adam and Eve According to Matlock, even the names of the first humans, "Adam" and "Eve," are Turkish. He claims the word "Adam" comes from the Turkish word "Atam" (my ancestor/father). He argues that the name "Eve" (Havva in Turkish) is derived from the word "Ev" (home), because the woman represents the "home" and the family.

The Word "Amen" He suggests that the word "Amen," used at the end of prayers worldwide, comes from "Aman," which is associated with creative power and inspiration in Turkish mythology.

Britain and the Britons He claims that even the name of the ancestors of the English, the "Britons," is Turkish. According to him, "Briton" means "Biri-Atan" (One of the Important Ancestors), which is linguistic proof that the origins of the Celts and Britons lie in Central Asia.

Zeus/Deus He argues that the names of the chief Greek god "Zeus" and the Latin word "Deus" (God) are altered forms of the Turkic Sky God "Tengri" or the word "Teng."

The Rewriting of History The Trojan War
Matlock also repositions events and figures that form the foundation of Western civilization within his own theory.

The Trojan War According to him, the famous Trojan War described by Homer was not a Greek-Anatolian conflict but a civil war between two kindred peoples, the Achaeans and the Trojans, both of whom were of Turkish origin. He claims the name "Troy" (Truva) means "Turu-oyu" (Tribe of Turan).

The Hidden Truths "The Great Conspiracy"
Gene Matlock explains why this information is not generally known with a conspiracy theory. According to him, the Catholic Church and the Western-centric academic world, in particular, have been deliberately covering up this common Turkish origin of humanity for thousands of years. He claims they fear that the revelation of this truth would shake the current world order, which is built on nation-states and organized religions. Therefore, Matlock sees his work not just as historical research but as a mission to remind humanity of this forgotten ancient unity.

Ireland, the Celts, and Scandinavia's Turkish Origins
Matlock directly connects the origins of the Celtic and Scandinavian peoples, located in the northwestern corner of Europe and often seen as a separate branch of European history, to Central Asia and the Turks.

The "Scoti," Ancestors of the Irish He claims that the "Scoti" tribe, which gave its name to Ireland and later Scotland, were actually the "Scythians," who lived north of the Black Sea and are considered by historians to be of Turkic or Iranian origin. According to him, "Scoti" and "Scythian" are different pronunciations of the same word. This is proof that the roots of the Irish people lie directly with the Scythian Turks.

The Scandinavian God Odin and Asgard He suggests that Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, was actually a historical Turkish leader or shaman. In mythology, Odin is said to come from a place called "Asgard" or "Asaland." According to Matlock, "Asgard" literally means "Garden of Asia" or "Land of the As," and the "As" were an ancient Turkish tribe. Therefore, Odin was an ancestor who came from Asia (the Turkish homeland) and brought wisdom to his people. He also argues that the name "Odin" itself comes from the Turkish words "Ot-han" (Fire Khan) or "Ut-in" (Victory).

Vikings and Runic Script He claims that the Runic alphabet used by the Vikings was derived directly from the Orkhon alphabet (Gokturk script) used by the ancient Turks. He presents the visual similarities between the characters as evidence for this theory.

The Secret Heritage of Rome and Greece The Wolf and Philosophy
Matlock claims that Rome and Ancient Greece, considered the cornerstones of Western civilization, were actually Turkic civilizations themselves.

The Founding of Rome and the "Asena" Myth He argues that the legend of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, being suckled by a she-wolf is a direct copy of the Turkic "Bozkurt" (Asena) legend. He points out that the theme of a wolf nurturing the founding ancestors of a nation is identical in both legends. This, for him, is mythological proof that the Etruscans and other Latin tribes who founded Rome were Turks who came from Central Asia.

Ancient Greek Philosophy Matlock suggests that the philosophical thought developed by philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle is rooted in thousands of years of Turkic shamanic wisdom. He claims that the people known as the "Pelasgians," who brought civilization to Greece, were actually "Sea-faring Turks" and that they carried the metaphysical and cosmological understanding of Central Asia to the Aegean. He argues that there is no other explanation for the sudden emergence of philosophy in Greece.

The Great Flood and a Global Turkish Culture
Matlock sees the flood myths found worldwide as one of the strongest proofs of his theory.

Noah's Ark and Mount Ararat He says it is no coincidence that Mount Ararat, mentioned in holy texts as the place where Noah's Ark came to rest, is located in the heart of the Turkish motherland. For him, this is the center from which humanity spread for a second time. The survivors of the flood, Noah and his family (whom Matlock identifies as Turks), re-spread civilization from here to Mesopotamia, India, and the rest of the world.

A Universal Story He attributes the presence of the flood story not only in the Torah but also in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, Indian texts, and even Mayan and Aztec legends to the fact that those who experienced the event had common ancestors (i.e., the Turks). This shared memory was carried to all corners of the world through Turkish migrations.

The True Meaning of the Word "Aryan"
Matlock argues that the term "Aryan," much debated throughout history, has been misunderstood and is actually related to the Turks.

Aryan = Arı-Han According to him, the word "Aryan" was corrupted and misinterpreted by the Nazis. The word's origin is the Turkish "Arı-Han" (Pure, Noble Leader) or "Arı-İnsan" (Pure Human). This was not a title for a superior race, but one that described the spiritually "pure" and wise ancient Turkish ancestors. Therefore, he argues that the Aryans who brought civilization to India and the ancestors of the Indo-European peoples who formed the basis of European languages were these "Arı-Han" Turks.

By weaving together these and hundreds of similar connections, Gene Matlock asserts that the fragmented pieces of human history are actually parts of a single great puzzle—the "Lost Turkic Civilization"—and that assembling this puzzle is essential for humanity to understand its own origins.

Sumer, Egypt, and the Indus Valley Turkish Colonies
He claims that these three great river civilizations, seen by historians as the starting points of civilization, did not emerge independently but were colonies founded by Turks who migrated from Central Asia.

Sumerians and the Language Connection Matlock vehemently opposes the general consensus that Sumerian is an isolated language of unknown origin. He argues that Sumerian was an ancient Turkish dialect. He bases this claim on the phonetic and semantic similarities between words from tablets deciphered by Sumerologists and modern Turkish. He states that the names of the gods in the Sumerian pantheon correspond to the spirits and concepts in the Sky God belief system. Furthermore, he says that the Sumerians' self-description as "black-headed people" is a reference to the dark hair of their Central Asian ancestors.

The "Khans" of Egypt The Pharaohs According to Matlock, Egyptian civilization did not suddenly appear in a fully developed state either; the knowledge and technology were brought to the Nile Valley by post-Flood Turks. He suggests that even the title "Pharaoh" comes from the Turkish words "Para-Han" or "Büyük-Han" (Great Khan). He claims that the founders of Egypt's first dynasties were Turks who reached Africa via Sumer or by crossing Arabia directly. He argues that the knowledge of pyramid construction was brought to Egypt from the older pyramids of the Turks in Central Asia (especially the White Pyramid in China).

The Indus Valley (Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro) He attributes the fact that this ancient civilization's mysterious script has not yet been deciphered to linguists searching in the wrong language families. According to Matlock, this script is an ancient Turkish runic (tamga) script. He notes that the bull and other animal figures on seals found in the Indus Valley are identical to the sacred animal symbols in Central Asian Turkish culture.

The Secret of the "Serpent" Symbol Wisdom and Shamanism
Matlock interprets the serpent (or dragon) symbol, which is common in world mythology and often associated with evil, in a completely different way.

The Nagas and Turkic Shamans He claims that the wise serpent-human beings called "Nagas" in Indian and Southeast Asian mythology were actually ancient Turkic shamans or wise men who used the "serpent" as a totem. The serpent's shedding of its skin symbolizes rebirth and spiritual transformation. Therefore, the "serpent people" were actually the spiritually enlightened, wise Turkish ancestors.

Japan and China The Turkic Heritage in the Pacific
Matlock claims that the Turks are also at the root of the most prominent cultures of East Asia, China and Japan.

The Ancestors of the Japanese and the Ainu People He notes that the Ainu, considered the indigenous people of Japan, resemble Central Asian Turks in their physical features (fair skin, thick hair) and some cultural practices. According to him, the Ainu were one of the first Turkic groups to reach the Japanese islands. He also argues that the "Yamato" clan, which came later and formed the basis of the modern Japanese people, was another Turkic tribe that came from the mainland, possibly via Korea. He presents the similarities in some basic words and grammatical structure between the Japanese language and the Altaic languages (including Turkish) as proof of this theory.

The Founders of Chinese Civilization Matlock claims that the initiators of Chinese civilization were not ethnic Han Chinese, but Turks. He argues that the ruling class of China's first dynasties, the Xia and Shang, were of Turkish origin. He suggests that the primary purpose of the Great Wall of China was not to protect China from "barbarian" Turkic attacks from the north, but quite the opposite it was built by the ruling Turkic dynasties to prevent the Han Chinese peoples in the south from rebelling and uniting with their relatives in the north. This is a claim often supported by pointing out that the embrasures (watch holes) in the earliest sections of the Great Wall face south, towards the interior of China.

The Origin of the Word "God"
Matlock argues that monotheism is a thousands-of-years-old Turkish belief and that the word for "God" itself is a global root.

God, Deus, Tengri He investigates the origin of the English word "God." According to him, this word comes from the Germanic "Gott" or "Gud," which in turn originates from Proto-Indo-European roots meaning "good" or "to unite." However, Matlock goes even further back, claiming that even this root is connected to the Turkish word "Kut" (sacredness, life force, fortune). The leader or shaman who possessed "Kut" was the one who connected with God.

Global Echoes He draws attention to the similarity between words meaning "God" or "sky" in different parts of the world

Turkish Tengri

Sumerian Dingir

Chinese Tian (Sky)

Latin Deus

Greek Zeus

Sanskrit Dyaus
According to him, all these words are derived from a common source the "Tengri" belief and language of the ancient Turks.

Atlantis and Mu The Turkish Version of Lost Continent Legends
Matlock also interprets the legends of the mythical continent of Atlantis, mentioned by Plato, and the continent of Mu, popularized by James Churchward, within his own theory.

Atlantis = Land of the Ancestors According to Matlock, the name "Atlantis" is not Greek. Its origin is the Turkish "Atlan-tıs" or "Ataların Ülkesi/Diyarı" (Land/Realm of the Ancestors). He argues that the sinking of Atlantis is a mythological reflection of the submergence of the Arctic homeland (Hyperborea) he identifies as the cradle of humanity. The wise people (Turkish ancestors) who survived from there carried civilization to Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Americas.

Mu = Great Bull He also claims that the name of the continent of Mu, said to have been in the Pacific Ocean, is Turkish. He suggests that the word "Mu" could be a reflection of "Boğa" (Bull), a sacred animal and symbol of power in Turkish mythology (with an ancient pronunciation like "Buga" or "Muga&quot. He states that these lost continent legends are actually the fragmented memories of a single motherland and a global civilization.

"Evidence" Overlooked by Modern Science
Matlock presents certain anomalies that modern science and archaeology have found but struggle to explain as evidence for his theory.

The Piri Reis Map He states that the map drawn by the Ottoman admiral Piri Reis in 1513, which is claimed to accurately show the coastline of Antarctica under the ice, could not have been drawn without modern technology. For him, this is proof that Piri Reis benefited from maps belonging to a much older global civilization of Turkish ancestors that existed before the Great Flood.

DNA and Blood Types Matlock refers to some older research on blood types, arguing that the high concentration of the B blood group in Central Asia and its presence among Native Americans is evidence of migration routes.

In conclusion, Gene Matlock, using an unconventional method of tracing words, symbols, myths, and archaeological findings, rejects the Western-centric and fragmented narrative of human history. Instead, he presents a holistic and global "Theory of Turkish Origin" that unites all of humanity in a common ancestor, language, and culture. Although this theory is not accepted in scientific circles, it constitutes a compelling narrative for those seeking an alternative perspective on history and the origins of humanity.

Sacred Mountains The Common Ancestor of Meru, Olympus, and Sinai
He argues that the sacred mountain motif, found in world mythologies as the home of the gods or the place where humanity emerged, also comes from a single origin.

Mount Meru and "Merkez" (Center) He claims that the mythological "Mount Meru," considered the center of the universe in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain cosmologies, was actually a sacred mountain in the Turkish homeland (such as the Altai Mountains or Mount Kailash in Tibet). He suggests that the word "Meru" comes from the same root as the Turkish word "Merkez" (Center).

Olympus and Uludağ He claims that even the name of "Mount Olympus," the home of the Greek gods, could have Turkish origins. According to him, the name may derive from a phrase like "Ulu-Apa-Uz" (Spirit/Sage of the Great Ancestors) and is a continuation of the sacred mountain tradition in Anatolia, like Uludağ.

Mount Sinai and Divine Revelation He states that the sanctity of "Mount Sinai," where Moses received the Ten Commandments, also stems from this ancient tradition. The fact that the meeting place with God is a mountaintop is directly linked to the Sky God belief, where mountains, being closest to the sky, were considered sacred. This, for him, is proof that the culture to which Moses belonged was also nourished by this Turkish tradition.

Kingship and Leadership From "Khan" to "King" and "Caesar"
Matlock claims that the concepts of kingship and empire in the modern world are based on the Turkic leadership model of the "Khanate" (Khaganate), which is rooted in the concept of "kut."

The King and Khan Connection He suggests that titles like "King" in English and "König" in German are derived from the Turkish word "Han" or "Kağan." According to him, the consonant root "K-H-N" transformed into "K-N-G" over time through phonetic shifts in different languages. This is not just a linguistic similarity but a philosophical continuity.

The Concept of "Kut" and Divine Right In ancient Turks, the "Han" was a sacred person who received the authority to rule from the Sky God. This authority was called "kut." According to Matlock, the "divine right of kings" doctrine in Europe, where monarchs ruled "by the grace of God," is a direct copy of this Turkish concept of "kut." The idea that a leader's power comes from the heavens, not the earth, was spread to the world by the Turks.

Caesar and Kayser He implies that even the title "Caesar," the symbol of the Roman Empire, might have originated from a Turkish leadership title. Indeed, this title was later used by Turkic states as "Kayser." According to Matlock, this is further evidence that the Romans may have adopted their leadership model and titles from the Turkish-origin Etruscans who ruled in Italy before them.

The Dragon Legend The Common Totem of East and West
(Note The numbering jumps in the source text.)

Matlock argues that the dragon figure, prominent in both Eastern and Western mythology, originates from a common Turkish totem, but its meaning was deliberately altered in the West over time.

The Wise Dragon of the East In Turkish, Chinese, and other Asian cultures, the dragon (or serpent) is generally a positive entity—wise, protective, a master of water and the sky, and a bringer of abundance and power. This is a symbol of the nature spirits and power in the Sky God belief system.

The Evil Dragon of the West In European mythology, however, the dragon was transformed into a malevolent, demonic monster that hoards treasure, kidnaps maidens, and must be destroyed. The slaying of dragons by heroes like Saint George became one of the foundational myths of Christianity.

Matlock's Interpretation According to him, this change was not accidental. Christianity and other Western powers, in order to destroy the "pagan" religions and beliefs that preceded them, took one of their most sacred symbols (the dragon/serpent) and demonized it. Therefore, the story of a hero slaying a dragon is a symbolic narrative of the new religion forcibly suppressing the old Sky God belief and its wisdom, which originated with the Turks.

The Origin of Law Turkish "Töre" and Moses' "Torah"
Matlock makes one of his most audacious claims about the origin of legal and moral systems, linking the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, the Law) to the Turkish "Töre."

Töre The Unwritten Constitution Among ancient Turks, "Töre" was the body of sacred traditions and laws, believed to be inspired by the Sky God and passed down from the ancestors. Though unwritten, everyone was obliged to obey it. "Töre" determined social order, justice, and morality.

The Töre and Torah Connection Matlock argues that the striking phonetic similarity between the words "Töre" and "Torah" cannot be a coincidence.

The Soul and Immortality From the Shamanic "Tın" to the Philosophical "Soul"
Matlock claims that the concept of the "soul" (spirit), one of the fundamental concepts of Western philosophy, also has its roots in Turkish shamanism.

"Tın" The Breath of Life In Old Turkic, the word for soul or life essence is "Tın." "Tın" also means "breath." According to shamanic belief, "Tın" is an entity separate from the body; it can leave the body during dreams or trances to travel, and it continues to exist after death.

A Universal Concept Matlock argues that this understanding spread to the world with the Turks. For example, the Latin word for soul, "spiritus," and the Greek word "psyche" also originally mean "breath." The idea of an immortal "essence" inside a person, separate from the body and linked to breath, was not first formulated by Greek philosophers but by Central Asian Turkic shamans thousands of years earlier. Western philosophy merely rediscovered this ancient wisdom and expressed it in its own terminology.

Secrets of the Sky The Turkish Origin of the Calendar, Astrology, and the Zodiac
Matlock argues that humanity's efforts to measure time and understand the heavens also originated with the Turks. The ancient Turkic astronomy is the basis for universally known astrological systems.

The 12-Animal Turkic Calendar and the Zodiac Matlock claims that the 12-sign Zodiac, widely used in the Western world, is actually an adaptation or a corrupted version of the 12-Animal Turkic Calendar. It is no coincidence that both systems divide time into a 12-part cycle, assign a being (animal or symbol) to each division, and believe these divisions influence human character. According to him, the Turkish system, which uses animals as symbols, is much older and the original.

The Mystery of the Mayan Calendar He argues that the incredibly precise and complex calendar system developed by the Mayan civilization could not have suddenly appeared in the jungle. He suggests that this advanced astronomical knowledge was brought to the Americas by "wise people" (shamans, astronomers) of Turkish origin who crossed the Pacific. The idea that time is cyclical and that the universe is periodically created and destroyed exists in both Mayan cosmology and ancient Turkish beliefs. This is proof of a shared philosophical and scientific heritage.

America's "Plumed Serpent" The Turkish Identity of Quetzalcoatl
Matlock claims that Quetzalcoatl (in Aztec mythology) or Kukulkan (in Mayan mythology), one of the most important gods and civilizing heroes of Mesoamerica, was actually a historical Turkish leader or shaman.

Etymology of the Name Although the name means "Plumed Serpent" in local languages, Matlock argues that its origin may be Turkish. He notes the phonetic similarity between the word "Quetzal" and the Turkish words "Kutsal" (Holy) or "Kuş" (Bird, associated with the sky). The second part, "Coatl," could be a corrupted form of the leadership title "Ata" (father, ancestor). Therefore, "Quetzalcoatl" is actually a title meaning "Holy Ancestor."

Physical Description and Mission The fact that Quetzalcoatl is often depicted in legends as a "white-skinned, bearded, and wise" person, different from the local population, indicates that he was a leader from across the sea—from Eurasia. Just like Odin or other mythological heroes, he is a "civilization-bringer" who taught his people writing, agriculture, the calendar, and laws. This profile perfectly matches Matlock's archetype of the "wise Turkish ancestor." His departure with a promise to one day return is also a mythological motif that shows the lasting impact of this leader on his people.

The Legacy of Everyday Life Trousers and the "Barbarian" Image
Matlock shows how even the simplest cultural inventions can change the course of civilization and provide clues about origins.

Trousers A Turkish Invention Matlock states that trousers, an indispensable garment for horse-riding nomadic peoples, are a Turkish invention. This practical garment, which allows for easy movement on horseback, is a product of the Central Asian steppe culture.

"Barbarism" Through Roman Eyes The Ancient Greeks and Romans wore flowing garments like tunics and togas and described northern peoples who wore trousers, such as the Celts, Scythians, and Germans, as "barbarians." Matlock reverses this perspective according to him, these peoples seen as "barbarians" were actually of Turkish origin, and their clothing technology was far more advanced and practical than that of the Romans, thanks to their horse-centric lifestyle. Indeed, the Roman army itself eventually had to adopt this "barbarian" garment, especially in its cavalry units. This is concrete proof of a so-called "barbarian" culture influencing a "civilized" one.

Fairy Tales and Mythological Beings The Turkish Ancestors of Fairies
Matlock claims that the common characters of global folklore, such as fairies, elves, and gnomes, are reflections of the spirit world from ancient Turkic shamanic beliefs.

Fairies and Nature Spirits (İyeler) In Turkish mythology, there are guardian spirits of forests, mountains, waters, and fire called "İye." These spirits are invisible, can communicate with humans, and can help them or harm them if angered. According to Matlock, the fairies, elves, and dwarves of European, especially Celtic and Scandinavian, mythology are direct heirs of this "İye" belief. These beings, who are invisible to humans, live in nature, and have their own hidden kingdoms, are the fairy-tale version of the Turkic ancestors' belief in nature spirits.

The Origin of the Word "Fairy" Matlock suggests that even the word "Fairy" can be connected to Turkish through Persian. He argues that the Persian word "Peri" dates back much further, to Central Asia, the center of this belief. Therefore, a "fairy" in an Irish tale and a "peri kızı" (fairy girl) in an Anatolian story are products of the same cultural memory.

Architecture and Sacred Geometry From the Yurt to the Cathedral
According to Matlock, the foundation of how humanity builds shelters and temples lies in the circular architecture of the Turks, which reflects their understanding of the universe.

The Yurt A Microcosm of the Universe The traditional Turkish tent, the "Yurt" (Ger), is not just a shelter; it is a small model of the universe. Its circular structure symbolizes the sky, the central pole represents the "world tree" connecting the earth to the sky, and the opening at the top (tüynük) symbolizes the gateway to the Sky God.

Stonehenge and Sacred Circles Matlock claims that Neolithic circular monuments like Stonehenge in England are stone-carved versions of this Turkic cosmological understanding. He argues that besides being observatories, these structures were sacred spaces that, like the "Yurt," united the earth with the sky. He suggests that the builders of these monuments were ancestors of Turkish origin who migrated to Britain.

Domes and Cathedrals
Matlock claims that the use of domes in architecture—from the Pantheon in Rome to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and the great cathedrals of Europe—was directly inspired by the Turkish idea of the “sky tent.” The dome, he argues, is the most perfect form, representing the Sky God and the universe. He states that this architectural form spread to the world through the Turks and was later adopted by various civilizations.

The Universal Language of Music and Art The Pentatonic Scale and Animal Style
Matlock also argues that at the heart of music and visual art lies a common Turkish aesthetic.

Pentatonic Scale He claims that the pentatonic scale, consisting of five tones and forming the basis of many folk musics around the world (China, Scotland, Native American music, Africa), originated in Central Asia. This simple yet powerful scale, he argues, spread worldwide through Turkish migrations and cultural interactions.

Animal Style The most distinctive feature of Scythian art—dynamic, interwoven animal figures—was not unique to the Scythians, Matlock insists. He notes that traces of this “Animal Style” can be found across a vast geography, from China to Celtic art (such as the illuminated manuscripts of Ireland). To him, this proves that all these peoples shared a common artistic and spiritual heritage, pointing to a shared Turkish origin. Animals were not merely decorative but served as totems symbolizing power, lineage, and spiritual connection.

Agriculture and Domestication Masters of Bread and the Horse
Matlock places the Turks at the center of two of humanity’s greatest revolutions agriculture and the domestication of animals.

The Origin of Bread He argues that wheat, the foundation of civilization, was first domesticated near the Turkish homeland (the Fertile Crescent). However, it was the Turks, he says, who spread this knowledge and agricultural culture worldwide. He even suggests that the word “bread” may derive from a Turkish root such as “birtem” (a bite).

The Domestication of the Horse Widely accepted by historians, the horse was first domesticated on the Central Asian steppes (modern Kazakhstan and Ukraine). Matlock cites this as one of the strongest proofs of his theory. The horse was the most important technological advantage enabling the Turks to expand across the world. From chariots to cavalry, this revolution explains why the Turks were able to spread so widely and influence other cultures. According to Matlock, horse culture is the clearest mark of the Turks on world history.

The Secret of Alphabet and Writing From Tamga to Letter
Matlock traces the origins of the alphabet, one of humanity’s greatest inventions, not to the Phoenicians or Egyptians but to the Turkish “tamga” system.

Tamga Mark of Clan and Property Each ancient Turkic tribe had a “tamga”—simple geometric symbols used to mark themselves and their property. These were not just logos but sacred emblems carrying identity, history, and spiritual meaning.

From Runic Writing to the Latin Alphabet Matlock argues that over time these tamgas acquired phonetic values, creating the first alphabet—the Orkhon script (Runic writing). Contrary to common belief, he claims this system was not Germanic or Scandinavian but purely Turkic. This system then spread westward through trade and migration and was adopted by peoples like the Etruscans. The Phoenicians and Greeks, he says, merely adapted this ancient Turkish system to their own languages. He points out the visual similarity between many Latin letters (such as T, O, K, M) and original Turkish tamgas, which he sees as proof that even the alphabet we use daily was invented by the Turks.

The Birth of Philosophy The Turkish “Who Am I?”
Matlock contends that the foundation of Western philosophy—self-knowledge and existential questioning—did not begin with Socrates in Greece but in the shamanic wisdom of ancient Turks.

“Öz” and Self-Knowledge The Turkish word öz means both the core or essence of something and one’s inner self or spirit. According to Matlock, the famous “Know Thyself” (Gnothi Seauton) inscription at the Temple of Delphi, which formed the basis of Socratic philosophy, is a reflection of this ancient Turkish concept of öz. The aim of the shamanic journey was to find one’s öz, to realize unity with the universe and the Sky God.

Plato’s World of Ideas Matlock asserts that Plato’s theory—that the physical world is merely a shadow or copy of the “world of ideas”—was a philosophical interpretation of Turkish shamanic belief. In shamanism, the true reality is the spirit world and the realm of the Sky God, while the material world is a temporary reflection of it. Matlock claims that Plato learned this from Egyptian priests, whose wisdom, he says, ultimately came from the Turks.

Sacred Blood and Lineage The Origin of the “Blue Blood” Myth
Matlock traces the European aristocratic idea of being “blue-blooded” back to the Turks.

The Göktürks (Blue Turks) One of the greatest Turkic empires was called the Göktürks (“Celestial” or “Blue Turks”). In Turkic culture, the color blue symbolized sacredness, divinity, and the Sky God. Thus, the Göktürks claimed divine descent from the Sky God himself.

The Inheritance of Divine Lineage According to Matlock, this concept of “celestial/blue lineage” spread to Europe with the migrations of the Turks. European nobles legitimized themselves by claiming divine ancestry, echoing the ancient Göktürk belief. To be “blue-blooded” meant to descend from the “Sky lineage” or the “God lineage”—a concept originally belonging to the Turks.

Final Conclusion History Is a Conspiracy
For Gene Matlock, all of this evidence points to one conclusion the official history we know today is a deliberately distorted, censored, and rewritten version of reality.

The Hiding of the “Great Secret” He claims that the rulers of Western civilization (especially Rome and its successors) and organized religion (especially the Catholic Church) have systematically concealed for thousands of years that the true origin of civilization and religion lies not with themselves but with the Turkish culture they branded as “pagan.”

Freemasonry and Secret Brotherhoods The Legacy of the Turkish Ahi Order
Matlock argues that the structure, rituals, and philosophy of secret or semi-secret brotherhoods around the world, such as Freemasonry, were deeply influenced by the Turkish “Ahi” organizations of the Seljuk and Ottoman periods.

The Ahi Order Brotherhood and Morality More than just a guild of craftsmen, the Ahi order created strong bonds of brotherhood, training members morally (generosity, honesty, hospitality), militarily, and spiritually. It had its own hierarchy, initiation ceremonies, and secrets. Although Ahi means “my brother” in Arabic, Matlock emphasizes its link to the Turkish word akı (generous, brave).

The Crusades and Cultural Transmission According to Matlock, during the Crusades, Christian orders such as the Knights Templar were deeply influenced by the structure, philosophy, and rituals of the Ahi lodges they encountered in Anatolia. Elements such as brotherhood, moral codes, hierarchy, and symbolism were transmitted to Europe and later formed the basis of Masonic lodges and other brotherhoods. Thus, Western esoteric traditions owe much of their origin to this Turkish socio-economic and spiritual organization.

King Arthur and Excalibur The Steppe Sword in Britain
Matlock claims that the legend of King Arthur, central to British identity and mythology, actually arose from the memories of Turkic warriors who had settled in Britain.

Arthur’s True Identity A Sarmatian Commander He supports the theory—accepted by many historians—that the Arthurian legend originated with Sarmatian cavalry sent to Britain in the 2nd and 3rd centuries as part of the Roman army. According to Matlock, these Sarmatians, often classified as Iranian, were in fact Scythians—that is, Turks. Thus King Arthur was not a Celtic or Roman leader but the commander (“Han”) of a Turkic cavalry unit in Britain.

Excalibur and Sacred Turkic Blacksmithing Matlock suggests that even the name Excalibur derives from Turkish, possibly from a phrase like Alp-Er-Kılıç (“Noble Warrior Sword”). More importantly, the motif of the sword in the stone, which only the chosen one could draw, directly reflects the Turkic concept of kut (divine legitimacy). The sword symbolized the Sky God’s power and legitimacy. To draw it from the stone meant to be chosen by God as leader—a steppe ritual of legitimacy far older and deeper than merely ascending a throne.

The Round Table Knights Arthur’s gathering of knights around a “Round Table” reflected an egalitarian system that abolished hierarchy. Matlock sees this as a direct echo of the Turkic kurultay or toy assemblies, where nobles sat in a circle, all had equal voice, and decisions were made collectively. This steppe democracy sharply contrasted with Europe’s rigid feudal system.

Amazon Warrior Women Memory of a Turkish Matriarchal Society
Matlock argues that the Amazons of Greek mythology—legendary women warriors said to cut off their right breasts to shoot arrows—were in fact women of Turkic tribes living in the northern Black Sea steppes.

The Turkish Origin of “Amazon” He rejects the Greek etymology of “Amazon” as “without breast.” Instead, he argues it derives from a Turkish expression such as Ana-Soy or Umay-Soy, referring to a matriarchal or women-honoring society.

The True Role of Steppe Women In ancient Turkic society, unlike in the West, women were not passive or confined. They rode horses, shot arrows, fought in battles, and even held political authority as “Katun” or “Hatun.” When Greeks encountered these free warrior women, alien to their own culture, they exaggerated and mythologized them into the “Amazon” legend. Historical figures such as Queen Tomyris exemplify this tradition of warrior women.

The Olympic Games Sacred Turkish “Yuğ” Ceremonies
Matlock asserts that the Olympic Games, the greatest cultural and sporting event of Ancient Greece, originated in the Turkish “Yuğ” funerary ceremonies.

Yuğ Ceremonies and Funeral Games When an important leader or hero died, Turks held great Yuğ ceremonies, which included not only mourning but also horse races, wrestling, and archery contests to honor the spirit of the deceased and transmit his power to future generations.

From Olympus to Central Asia The Greek myth that the Olympic Games began as funeral games for the hero Pelops, Matlock interprets as direct evidence of the Turkish Yuğ tradition. According to him, the Pelasgians (whom he identifies as Turks) brought this custom to Greece. He even claims the name “Olympus” derives from a Turkish root meaning “Great Head” or “Exalted Spirit.”

The Hidden Meaning of “America”
One of Matlock’s most radical claims concerns the name of the American continent. He rejects the conventional view that it derives from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.

The Pre-Vespucci Name He argues that the land was already named by its inhabitants, whose roots lay in Turkic ancestry, long before Europeans arrived.

The “Umay-Er-Ka” Theory He suggests the word America comes from a Turkish expression like Umay-Er-Ka (“Land of Umay’s Heroes”), referring to the Turkic goddess of fertility and birth. Thus, Turkic seafarers who first discovered and settled the continent dedicated it to their mother goddess. Europeans, upon hearing this ancient name from the natives, misunderstood and adapted it as “America.”

The Origins of Money and Trade From “Damga” to “Stamp”
Matlock even links the foundations of modern economy—money and taxation—to the ancient Turkish system of “damga” (stamp/mark).

Damga Symbol of Property and Value Among the Turks, a tamga was not only a clan mark but also a seal indicating ownership of goods or animals. Over time, these marks stamped on traded goods came to represent value and authenticity.

Stamp Tax and “Stamp” Matlock points to the Damga Tax in the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey as a direct continuation of this tradition. The state’s seal (damga) on a document or item signified legality and payment of tax. He claims the English word “stamp” derives from Turkish damga, proving that even modern bureaucracy and taxation stem from ancient Turkish administrative practice.

The First Coins He interprets the animal figures and leader portraits on early coins as the “damgas” of the issuing authority (a khan or tribe). Money, in essence, was standardized value marked with authority’s seal—and this, he says, was invented by the Turks.

The Scientific Method and Observation The Shaman’s Dialogue with the Universe
Matlock claims that the scientific method (observation, hypothesis, experiment) originated in the worldview of Turkish shamans.

The Shaman as Observer and Experimenter For Matlock, the shaman was not only a spiritual leader but also the first scientist of the tribe. They carefully observed natural phenomena (movements of stars, seasonal cycles, plant properties, animal behavior) for millennia, experimenting to discover which plants healed and which poisoned, and formulating hypotheses (myths) about how the universe worked.

Natural Laws and the Will of the Sky God In shamanic thought, nature was not chaotic but orderly, governed by the universal laws of the Sky God (Töre). The goal of science, too, is to uncover these laws. The idea that the universe runs on comprehensible, predictable principles, Matlock argues, first arose in this shamanic worldview. Greek philosophers and later scientists merely secularized this foundation.

The Origins of Human Rights and Democracy
Matlock maintains that the cradle of modern democracy and human rights was not Ancient Greece but the egalitarian Turkic steppe society.

Equality Before the Töre The Turkish Töre was a law binding on all, even the khan. If the khan violated it, he lost his kut (divine legitimacy) and could be dethroned. This principle of “rule of law” protected the people from arbitrary rule—thousands of years before the Magna Carta.

The Value of Women and Common People In ancient Turkic society, women held high status, and even ordinary people had rights under the Töre, unlike in the feudal and aristocratic systems of the West. The Kurultay assemblies, in which the people participated in governance, were, Matlock claims, the earliest parliaments. While Athenian democracy excluded slaves and women, the Turkic model was far more inclusive."

The Scythians Are Also Turkic:

"1. Genetic Evidence (Ancient DNA Studies)
Paleogenetic research conducted in recent years has proven that the genetic structure of the Scythians is not solely Europe-centered as previously thought, but that their origins date back to the East Asia/Altai region.

Source: Nature Communications (2017), "Ancestry and demography and descendants of Iron Age nomads of the Eurasian Steppe."

Finding: The research revealed that Scythians were a mixture of West Eurasian (European) and East Eurasian (Siberian/Turkic-Mongol) genes. Most importantly, it proved that the cultural and genetic expansion of the Scythians occurred from East to West (from the Altai Mountains to the Black Sea).

Source: Science Advances (2021), "The genomic history of the Bronze Age Southern Arc."

Finding: It was observed that the genetic heritage of the Scythians shows direct continuity with the Huns, Göktürks, and modern Turkic peoples, and that they genetically differentiated from groups termed "Iranian."

Archaeological and Cultural Evidence (Kurgan Culture)
The burial customs and lifestyles of the Scythians overlap exactly with ancient Turkic culture (the Steppe Culture Complex).

Source: Prof. Dr. Hermann Parzinger, The Scythians: Nomads of the Steppes.

Evidence: Arzhan-1 and Arzhan-2 Kurgans (Tuva Republic): The world's oldest Scythian kurgans were found in Tuva, the homeland of the Turks. The horse sacrifice rituals and burial styles in these kurgans are identical to the Göktürk kurgans of the 6th century AD.

Source: Prof. Dr. M.A. Itina, The Early Scythians in Central Asia.

Evidence: Horse and Trousers Culture: The Scythians were among the first communities in the world to wear trousers and use the horse as a vehicle of war. These features do not exist in the sedentary Persian (Iranian) culture; on the contrary, they are the hallmarks of the nomadic Turkic world.

Linguistic Evidence and Written Texts
The strongest evidence against the claim that the Scythian language was purely an Iranian language lies in the few written documents known to belong to the Scythians.

Source: Prof. Dr. Olzhas Suleymenov, AZ-i-YA.

Evidence: The Issyk Inscription: A 26-character inscription was found on a silver dish in the "Golden Man" kurgan discovered in Kazakhstan in 1969. Suleymenov and many Turcologists have proven that this script is Proto-Turkic and written in an early form of the alphabet found in the Orkhon Inscriptions.

Source: Boris Khristoforovich Grach, The Scythians.

Evidence: The conformity of Scythian titles (precursors to words like Tarkhan and Tigin) and personal names (e.g., Targitaos) with the Turkic phonetic structure.

Historical and Mythological Sources
The records of ancient historians and Turkic lexicographers confirm this link.

Source: Mahmud of Kashgar, Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (1072-1074).

Evidence: Mahmud of Kashgar defines Alp Er Tunga (known as Afrasiyab in Iranian sources), the greatest ruler of the Scythians, as a "Turkic Khagan." In the oral tradition of the Turks, the Scythians are accepted directly as the ancestors of the Turks.

Source: Herodotus, The Histories (Book 4 - The Scythians).

Evidence: Herodotus recounts that the Scythians drank kumis (fermented mare's milk), lived in nomadic tents, and that their women also fought. All of these descriptions match perfectly with the Hunnic and Turkic social structure in later historical periods.

Anthropological Continuity
Source: Dr. Çetin Arslan, The Scythians (Sakas).

Finding: Anthropological examinations performed on skull samples excavated from Scythian kurgans have shown that this people carried both "Europoid" and "Mongoloid" (Central Asian) characteristics together. This mixed structure is the basis of the characteristic anthropological structure of today's Turkic nations.

Conclusion: While the West-centric understanding of history considers Scythians to be Iranian based on linguistic similarities (mostly relying on controversial word lists), genetics, archaeology, and epics support with scientific sources that the Scythians were the first great representatives of Turkic history."
