Гунны предки кыргызов? – археолог рассказал о находках периода железного века в Кыргызстане

Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, and Archaeologist Kubatbek Tabaldiev spoke about the Iron Age in Kyrgyzstan's history. Who were the Sakas and Scythians? Were the Kyrgyz Mongoloids or Caucasoids? Can the Huns be considered the ancestors of the Kyrgyz? Why should we be cautious when interpreting history? We answer these and other questions on Sputnik Kyrgyzstan Radio. On the program "Special Accent," Tabaldiev recalled that many ordinary people consider the Huns, Sakas, and Scythians to be the ancestors of the Kyrgyz. "Indeed, among the finds of artifacts from tribes that lived in Kyrgyzstan during the Early Iron Age, there are elements that are still present today. This may indicate continuity; perhaps those tribes had some connection to the formation of Kyrgyz culture. But... ethnic identity is a complex issue. "Scientific evidence is needed, which means comparing both archaeological and written sources, as well as the work of other scholars—anthropologists, philologists, and ethnographers. Therefore, it is not yet possible to directly prove the relationship between the Huns, Sakas, and Scythians and modern Kyrgyz," the historian explained. He noted that DNA genealogy is actively developing today, and many scientists have high hopes for this science.
