in the Eastern part of Eurasia for several cen-
turies, and which had also been lived by the
Ancient Hungarians having arrived into the
Carpathian Basin from Eastern direction at the
end of the EX Century A. D. We recommend
this book to the experts of Orientalist scien-
ces, to the researchers of Ancient Hungarian
history, and also to the interested public in
