Early Sabir-Magyar Rulers

summarized by Fred H.

The early Hungarian rulers, who ruled before the start of the Roman-Catholic era are found mentioned in most of the Medieval Hungarian cronicles with relatively little explanation, except the more prominent ones whose legends were included in the chronicles. Modern anti-Hungarian governments and their paid
historians have ignored most everything Hungarian today and so they have ignored these lists as well. Yet they exist and are not put into ancient books just for windowdressing.

One needs to search the earlier literature of ancient nations to find their geographical origins. Most can be found as shown by the following abbreviated list. These rulers were from the time before the Magyar migration from the Caucasus to present day Hungary. I have grouped them into three broad categories:

1. The mythical patriarchs, often found in northern Mesopotamia.
2. Ancient founding clans, which most often relate to the Scythians.
3. Prehistoric rulers of the age of migrations mostly Szabir-Magyars
or Avar Hun mixtures.

Mythological Ancestors

1.Tana:
The father of Nimrod, the giant hunter, the first potentate on earth. Tana corresponds to the Sumerian Etana, the first "human" king which was selected by the Gods, and was the first king of the Sumerian city state of Kish. Tana is also the title of early Hunnish emperors, the word is related to TEN, meaning heavens in the Turkic tongues. Etana was the first human to visit heaven in Sumerian myths. He may be the prototype of Enoch.

2.Nimrod:
The name is altered, due to Biblical influence, from the archaic Nemere, which is also the name of a wild wind among the Transylvanian Hungarians. Similarly the Sumerian Ninurta, Nergal, Babylonian Nimrud was the name of the war god, who was also the god of the Southern raging wind.

In Hungarian traditions he ruled 201 years after the flood. His wife was Eneth, and his first sons were Magor and Hunor, the supposed ancestors of the Magyars and Huns. But he had other sons who were the ancestor of the peoples of Iran. In Persian myths the sons of Treatona were Salm, Tur and Iradj. In the Babylonian and Assyrian versions of the myth we also find his twin sons, and his wife is the Sumerian goddess BAU, who is also known as ANUTA, which is quite like the Hungarian ENETH, which means doe, which often symbolized the mother goddess among the Scythian nations, and is called Bor-isten, (Egyptian goddess NUT- a horned cow goddess also).

3.Hunor:
Is often called the ancestor of the Huns, which may be a later day invention, since there was an ancient city of the Elamites and later the Scythian and early Armenian city of Hunora certa. In any case his Assyrian name is Nin, the source of their city of Niniveh. The name Hun/Kun may even mean an aspect of the Sun God (dawn), as Nimrod later became as a sun god. The rising sun.

4.Magor:
The supposed ancestor of Hungarians, is also known as Vagur in the Assyrian versions of the myths of the sons of Nimrod. This is quite similar, especially when we notice that many early Hungarian names starting with M have changed to V. The Egyptian geographers apparently also were familiar with the
MAGOR name in Northern and Western Mesopotamia and apparently applied this designation to the Subarian-Hurrian-Mede people, who also must have used this name. Madja = Magya is none other than what we call Mede. The language of the Sumerians is also E-MEGIR, which is very similar to Magyar language. The Mede confederacy also had a MAGI tribe who must have known the ancient Sumerian "holy" language. They were not Aryan, according to scholars! and neither were the original Medes, whose kings all have Hurrian-Subarian names.

Hurrian World in 2300 BC Northern Messopotamia, along the tributaries of the Tigris River.

Hunor and Magor supposedly went on a hunt with their father Nimrod, when they spotted an enchanting doe with huge glittering horns that lead them north to the area of the Caspian (Sea of Kush) & Aral Sea (MEOTIS), where the Doe miraculously disappeared into the sea. There they found the daughter of the Bullars and Alans, whom they married as did their soldiers who followed them. This supposedly is the source of the two nations and the other nations of the Scythians. This also is the myth of joining of three ethnic nations .. The Alans -a northern Scythian nation, the Bulars -- Hunnish eastern scythian people, and the original Mesopotamian Magors (Mede-Hurian-Subarian) and Hunor (Elamites). These became the ancestors of the northern Scythians. Among the easter SAKA (Scythians) an ancient ruler is recounted called Mauga and the ancestor called Kush-Tana, recalling that the Huns and Scythians were often called Kush in the distant past. (Armenian Chronicles) Similarly among the Kushan Scythians the sun god is also called Mihir as in Hungarian Magur. The pioneer researchers into the earliest languages of Mesopotamia have often stated that Hungarian and the Ural-Altaic languages are the closest living relatives of Elamite. Some have also stated the same thing about Sumerian.

5.Bor:
There is very little known about the Hungarian patriarch Bor. Many explanations are possible. The traditions of the Western Scythians was written down by Herodotus in 500BC. He mentions the mother goddess Bor-isten(es) (isten means god in Hungarian). "He?" may have been named after her. She is also called Bura among some primitive central asian turkic people.. as the goddess/ancestress of the nation, who often takes on the form of a horned- doe. This symbol is found starting in early pre-Iranian times in Luristan bronzes and can be followed throughout the Scythian age from one end of Asia to the other. The Hun versions of the wondrous heavenly stag are also found engraved into stone slabs in Mongolia and brightly painted in the famous cave frescoes of Dung Huan in Western China, commissioned by Huns. This legend is also the primary Hungarian tradition of origin and was also very commonly used among the Scythians living near the Black Sea also.

Ancient clan names

which have been personalized to be the name of a patriarch. These are also found in the early near east as clans or nations.

6.Keve:
The name and title of early Mede [Madja] kings. The tradition of Kavi, the "Smith", [Hungarian and Hun KOVA=flint], Hungarian KOV-acs = smith/toolmaker] was borrowed by the Persians who overthrew the
huge Mede Empire, which started in northern Mesopotamia and extended itself over all of Iran to the borders of India.

Keled:
The name of one of the royal clans of the Scythians as told by Herodotus as well as the Medes (Gala, Kaldu, Chalde, Kal and Gaal are also common clan names in Hungarian as is Kalti. GAL means
great in Transylvanian Hungarian and in ancient Sumerian. The GALATIAN term is generally related to Celtic of the west, however this same territory was also the birth place of the Magyars and the GAL term is much older in Mesopotamia where it means grand, big in Sumerian. The name is unlikely to have come from the west.

Ker:
Also the name of one of the 7 Hungarian tribes in the 800s, the Kari tribe. Found in place names even today. It is also the name of the ruling group of the Subarian northern Mesopotamian people commonly called Hurrians. They also started colonies next to the Aral Sea, which was the ancient kingdom of Khorez-mia. The term means great, big, fat, governing etc in Hungarian and Turkic. Khur/chur/sur was also the name of local rulers amongst the Huns and all Hunnish tribal names were similarly terminated by
gur/kur/sur suffix. In ancient Sumerian the word referred to land/country/territory.

8.Belér:
The name of the king of the Alans, a part of the Alans were also absorbed partly by the Huns and Hungarians. The Alans are also the ancestors of the northern Spanish and southern French Cat-alan. (CAT,XOD,HAD means tribe or clan in the Scythian and Hungarian languages. They were taken
by Attila to fight the Roman's in France and stayed behind. The Alans are recounted in early English and French history. This name also sounds much like the Bulgars.

Early Turanian Kings

The following rulers were historic Turanian Kings most of whom lived in the area between the Aral Sea and Caucasus, then to the lands north of the Black Sea. This era was dominated by mainly by European Hun rulers long after the breakup of the primary Hun Empire which enveloped the northern and western frontiers of China often reaching the boarders of Iran. From this time onwards the western mixed Huns dominated the Hungarians and the two people must have merged to a degree. However the Huns were
greatly diluted. Since the Huns are already mentioned in the time of Zarathustra (1,000BC?) as Hunu, their ultimate origin is also from Western Asia.

The Huns however were a minority because Hungarian did not become a Turkic language and there was next to no oriental features among the early Hungarians, only amongst some of their Turkic allies
(Bessenyo, Kuman, Avar etc). Their closest racial affinities were with the Scythians, like the Parthians as proven by serious scientific research in the last centuries.

9.Kádár
Also known as the Kushana-hun Gadahar or Kidara who ruled in eastern Iran over his eastern - Saka confederation of tribes around 387AD. The Kushan Saka had many identical military and royal titles to the early Hungarians, like the Gyula, Koppán etc.

10.Otmar
Unknown from references. Must have ruled around 379-387.

11.Farkas

Means wolf in Hungarian, but the name is of totemic meaning, as the wolf was the common totem animal of the Huns. References to him from Iranian literature is found as Prakasa or Tarikia (a title) and found on coin inscriptions in Eastern Iran. These were from around 390 AD.

12.BendeKurt

The name is two parts, the second signifying a chief perhaps but also is found in one of the Hungarian tribal names KÜRT- Gyarmat, while Bende is a common Hungarian personal name of lost significance. It is believed that this was the great Hun emperor Kur-sik or Kara-ton. These are titles not his actual personal name.

13.Böken
This name is still found in North Western Iran as a city name BUKEN. Much of northern Iran was under Hun domination for several hundred years and many wars were fought between them and the Persians. However it is believed the he was also the Persian king Bahram 420-485.

14.Csanád
The White Hun (Ephtalite) king "Ks.na.waz", who ruled in eastern Iran circa 457-460. However in 523 there was also a Szabir-Magyar king whose name was Cate (Csete) in the Cuban region (eastern Black Sea shores) who converted to Byzantine Orthodoxy from his native "monofizite?" Christian faith while in Byzanteum. He ruled the Magyar province of Egresi (Ugor).

15.Budli
"B.D.L" A distortion of the name EB.DAL, which is also the variation of the original name of the white Huns (EPTA, Heital, Haital..) name which probably came from the name of their dynasty located in Eastern Iran circa 460-464.

16.Beszter [Gobazes]
Was called Gob-az (es) by the Greeks which is the distorted form of the Hungarian "Kopasz" meaning bald. In the Hungarian version BESZ-tar his name uses another word TAR meaning the same.. so his name was "bald"+BES. Gobazes was a king living in the Caucasus Mountains around 466 to 473.
He is pictured on the Hungarian "holy crown" on the back with the following inscription "Geobices, the believer of God, the king of the Törks." At this time this was the Greek name for Hungarians and European Huns also. His kingdom was north of the Caucasus. For some strange and unknown reason some people claim his image on the crown represents St Stephen's father, Géza, even though the writing has no semblance to that name.

Northern Caucasus place names with over 66 Hungarian like names.
Special thanks to Dr Vámos Toth Bátor for his Tamana Maps and place name researches.

17.Mike
Nothing is known about this ruler who possibly lived around 473-482 and probably used another title or name than this. The name is obviously Christian Michael.

18.Miskéc
Similarly unknown name from this time, however the name is found in the Hungarian city name of Mis-kolc? Aproximate time he lived .. if he existed was 482-491.

19.Ombod
Can be safely equated with the Sabir Hun Ambazuk, who ruled around 491-514. The Sabir name is originally Mesopotamian Subar, (see map 1) some of them remained in the Caucasus region
and are closely related to the Magyars living next to them for millenniums. They are not really Eastern Hun in origin but only were named such because like the Magyars they became part of this confederation.

20.Kölcse
Unknown, but found in the similar Hungarian town name of Kalocsa [?], famous for its colorful embroidery today. Probably from around 514-528.

21.Levente
Is believed to be the "?Hun" king known to the Greeks as Alamandros. (M/V change due to Greek) The name Levente however crops up repeatedly among the early Hungarian kings and is clearly a royal title of sorts. He ruled around 528-546. Much later Árpád also had a son called Levente who lead major battles against the Bulgars. It is believed by some that the term Levente means Marsgrave. The name is found in many areas of Russia where Hungarians may have lived once. They were probably territorial outposts.

22.Lél
Unknown ruler, but a name which crops up repeatedly in early Hungarian history. The word and name is means breath, spirit, air. The name also recurs in the 9th century. Ruled aproximately ruled 546-553.

23.Zámor
Unknown ruler from around 553.

24.Zombor
Zaber Khan/Zamergan was a Kutrigur Hun ruler who lived around the area of the lower Don River in what today is Southern Ukraine ca 585.

25.Balog
Bilge Khagan was not a Hun or Magyar, but a true "Turk" ?Bayan? Emperor of the Kök Turk empire, who defeated the White Huns and caused a new wave of migrations toward Europe and the introduction of the Avar Huns into Central Europe. He ruled 625-640 in Turkestan a very sizable empire. The Avar Huns had
many ally Scythian nations with them, they in fact now used the Parthian (Apar/Abar/Obor/Avar) name for themselves, because their rulers were of Parthian Arsac lineage, and they also were partly absorbed by the Scythian nations of Central Asia. Hungarians were probably amongst these. Although the Avars
had Turkic titles, like Kagan, the remnant of Avar towns and place names indicate their language was like Hungarian. They still existed at the time of Hungarian settlement and appear to have cooperated and were glad to see the newcomers come to their rescue. They were Christians.

26.Bulcsu
A common old Hungarian name. A ruler mentioned by Bonfidi as Bulcso ruled in North Eastern Iran around 640-689.

27.Solt
A common old Hungarian royal name, but unknown ruler from the pages of history of this time.
ca. 689-703.

28.Berend
Unknown ruler from around 703-717?

29.Kadicsa
Sabir Magyar ruler 717-730

30.Opos
Sabir-Magyar ruler from 730-750 is famous in the souther Caucasus battles against the growing power of the new Moslem Empires. Called in Arab history Upas Ibn Madar "Opos Magyar". Opos is an important Hungarian clan which is related to the Báthori clan.

31.Ethei
Unknown ruler from around 750-770.

32.Szemen
Possibly the founder of the Samanid dynasty of Khorezmia (770-789), which after this time expanded greatly beyond its original size to engulf Persia before being wiped out by the Mongols. It also engulfed the eastern branch of the Hungarian people.

33.Torda
Unknown ruler, but found as a place name in Transylvania as Tordos.

34.Ügek
Magyar ruler north of the Black Sea in the "Don Mouth" "Den-tu" Magyaria kingdom 818-847. His name Üg = ük can mean simply ancestor, or else Ügy=holy.

35.Álmos
Magyar ruler north of the Black Sea "Etel Köz" (Etelkuzu) and also the leader of the Magyar migration to present Hungary. His son Árpád was the military leader but Álmost died before seeing the new land, in the northern Carpathians at a very advanced age, his grandsons were leading armies.

Early Magyar Kings in Hungary

The early settlements of the Magyars overflowed the boundaries of the Carpathian Basin.

36.Árpád
895-907 The military chief of the Hungarian settlement and the founder of the Hungarian Árpád dynasty of kings, which gave the best kings Hungary has ever seen and many kings to foreign countries as well. His name is totally ignored by European historians as though it did not exist, just as the greatest Hungarian kings are also skipped over, no doubt to later Habsburg influences.

37 Solt 907-945 Magyar ruler.

38.Taksony 950-997 Magyar ruler.

39.Géza
970-997 Started the reorganization of the Hungarian nation along Feudal lines, centralizing power and ending the power of tribal lords. In opposition of the semi-democratic tribal traditions based on the early Hungarian tribal "constitution" known as the "Covenant of Blood". This may have been necessary
to create a stronger state and more united front. It took many other European powers much much longer to eventually do the same.

40.Vajk (St Stephen)
The son of Géza, who later took the throne name of "Stephen" Stephen is remembered only as St Stephen the first "truly?" Christian king of Hungary. Finished the job of his powerful father and often cruelly forced Roman Christianity on the people and the destruction of old writing and records which could be a link to the old Caucasian Christianity and Magian religion of the Magyars. He was a very powerful and competent ruler who welded together the various regions and dukedoms of Hungary into unity. He ruled from 997-1038. He saw all of his sons fall prey to foreign intrigue and assassination. The foreigners which surrounded him like a wall destroyed his immediate family but his extended family continued his heritage.

The rest is well known main stream history!

An unusual number of saints originate from the Árpád clan settled in Scotland, Poland, France, Greece, as well as several saints in Hungary. They are the ones who built up Hungary while the Habsburgs are famous for tearing the Hungarian nation apart, allowing Turkish occupation with little effort to free the country. Afterwards they were given the country to further destroy. They were instrumental in flooding the country with so many minorities which later broke off to create their own small countries and to further be a thorn in the side of Hungarians in their own land and in Hungary itself. This anit-Hungarianism was naturally was also encouraged by the Western Powers, who saw the old monarchy as a threat to their own powers. They created the situation leading to the first World War, then sacrificed the nation which had nothing to do with it as a scape goat, Hungary.

Today international powers are repeatedly pushing the world to confrontations and wars in their ever-lasting quests for power and monopolies, financial gains. The power and wealth of individuals and corporations has become unbridled by laws and state. Even Democracy is becoming a sham in one of its old strongholds, the U.S., which has fallen to the servitude of big business and moving toward suppression of its poor and misinforming its own citizens about its foreighn adventures.

Hungary has just escaped one slaveholder, the now defunct Soviet Empire, to fall immediately prey to another, the world Bank and big International Big Business, which destroyes everething in the country to sell its own products. Everything costs much more than before, while many have lost their jobs, and wages are not much better then before. Life expectancy is dropping, young people are leaving, the cost of living going up drastically and the national debt is skyrocketing. While the officials of the country are financed to get into office by foreigners, (world bank, Izrael, Germany and who knows what secret channels) to serve outside interests, not the local population. They lie, steal, rob, then leave with a big bank role at the end of their terms in office or when cought. They are not punished for their crimes, however anyone who talks of Hungarian interests is branded as a fascist, racist or anti-semite, only for caring.
