Hun, thanks to you, Ganbat has witnessed an explosion of interest on Facebook. Morgan Holmes, Jeff Shanks and others (after I told them about Ganbat) are all fans. I "friended" Ganbat a few days ago. A major talent. I wish there was some equivalent artist for "Celtic" art. Fitzpatrick is great in many ways, but the "power" isn't there. Ganbat is the "Frazetta" of Turco-Mongols. When I first came across the art of Ganbat Badamkhand years ago, I thought exactly the same thing, this artist is the Mongolian ' Frazetta.' Thanks for spreading the word concerning the great art of Ganbat. He's done some equally impressive American Indian art too. I wouldn't be surprised to find him versatile enough to apply this power and flair to pretty much anything he turned his hand to.

He certainly has the ability and skill to depict a variety of different martial cultures from history and fantasy worlds.

The Huns by Hyun Jin Kim
Book 1 The Huns, Rome and the Birth of Europe, Cambridge, 2013 The Huns have often been treated as primitive barbarians with no advanced political organisation. Their place of origin was the so-called 'backward steppe'. It has been argued that whatever political organisation they achieved they owed to the 'civilizing influence' of the Germanic peoples they encountered as they moved west. This book argues that the steppes of Inner Asia were far from 'backward' and that the image of the primitive Huns is vastly misleading. They already possessed a highly sophisticated political culture while still in Inner Asia and, far from being passive recipients of advanced culture from the West, they passed on important elements of Central Eurasian culture to early medieval Europe, which they helped create. Their expansion also marked the beginning of a millennium of virtual monopoly of world power by empires originating in the steppes of Inner Asia. The rise of the Hunnic Empire was truly a geopolitical revolution.Book 2 The Huns, Routledge, 2015 This volume is a concise introduction to the history and culture of the Huns. This ancient people had a famous reputation in Eurasian Late Antiquity. However, their history has often been evaluated as a footnote in the histories of the later Roman Empire and early Germanic peoples. Kim addresses this imbalance and challenges the commonly held assumption that the Huns were a savage people who contributed little to world history, examining striking geopolitical changes brought about by the Hunnic expansion over much of continental Eurasia and revealing the Huns' contribution to European, Iranian, Chinese and Indian civilization and statecraft. By examining Hunnic culture as a Eurasian whole, The Huns provides a full picture of their society which demonstrates that this was a complex group with a wide variety of ethnic and linguistic identities. Making available critical information from both primary and secondary sources regarding the Huns' Inner Asian origins, which would otherwise be largely unavailable to most English speaking students and Classical scholars, this is a crucial tool for those interested in the study of Eurasian Late Antiquity.

Weird and Wonderful books on the Mongols. Ethel G. Stewart, The Dene and Na-Dene Indian Migrations 1233 A.D. : Escape from Genghis Khan to America, 1991
In the previous post Dr. Edward Vadja presented the probable connections between the Yeniseian languages and Na-Dené languages. In this book Ethel G. Stewart states that the ancestors of the Na-Dené people fled Central Asia after the destruction of the Tangut kingdom by the Mongol hordes in 1227AD!

Thanks for the link trescuinge. Here's a link to the wikipedia page with a brief synopsis to all 12 Dede Korkut tales. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Dede_KorkutA few years ago there was a series based on the Dede Korkut tales by TRT (Turkish Radio Television) I could not find an episode with subtitles. Unfortunately, the series was not very good.
