Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the nomadic civilizations continues with a video on the rise of the Seljuk Empire, an Oguz Turkic empire that started in Central Asia fighting the Ghaznavids, Samanids and Karakhanids, before expanding westwards under the leadership of Chaghri and Tughril, and taking over Iraq and Baghdad from the Buyids. Eventually, the Seljuks would meet the Eastern Roman Empire at the battle of Manziker of 1071 ( • Battle of Manzikert 10... ) and conquer most of the Anatolia. This video also features the famous battle of Dandanaqan of 1040.

We misplaced Jand, sorry about that. There are multiple places it might have existed, but it was clearly to the north, somewhere around the Aral sea. Sorry! 1. There is no "officially accepted" symbol of Islam. We use the crescent, as it is widely known, but in truth, it didn't mean much for the Muslim world until the rise of the Ottomans, and even then it wasn't accepted as a universal symbol 2. The Seljuk eagle was most likely adopted only after the takeover of Anatolia in order to underline that the Seljuk sultans were the equals of the Byzantine emperors. 3. Unfortunately, details for the battle of Dandanaqan are lost, but it was one of the most important battles of the era. 4. Ads are essential for our work, as they allow us to pay our collaborators and work on the videos full time, so we would appreciate it if you would click our links. Thanks! :-)

@Bardia gh there is not a seperate name in history as Turk or Turkic. This is how the westerners called people after centuries. There was a Turk name for longer than a thousand years but also there was a name Turkman/Türkmen. Turkic is just an English word to refer people. If you want to think about this name, both Turks and Turkics established many empires in the history. Because Turks are the part of the Turkic. And if you want to talk about Turkish history, learn it first.

@@MustafaMertSenay they weren't really civilisations either, they were pretty much hordes (although the Mongols were a mix or 'in the process') They carried their empires on the backs of horses and in tents for the most part. Nothing wrong with that, but most Turks only truly civilized after converting to Islam and taking up Samanid influence. Peoples such as Romans, Persians, Greeks, Mayans, Arabs, Egyptians, Israelites, etc. formed civilisations with distinct characteristics to their civilisations. The old Turks, although ruled the steppe are similar in nature to the native Americans of the Americas or the Bedouins of Arabia/Sahara. The Mongols never truly had a civilisation, in its most mediocre definition, they also ran across Asia just sacking city after city, not caring once about a currency, or even statehood nonetheless. This is one of the main reasons why some don't consider the Mongols to have been an Empire but rather just a horde. One wouldn't refer to the Gokturks as a civilisation as they always remained nomadic, the Huns somewhat became civilized but even that is debatable and the Mongols were just way too decentralized to ever form a Mongol civilization and put its name up there with the Greeks, Romans, Abyssinians, Persians, Chinese etc. The first major Turkish civilization were the Seljuqs probably.

Turks adopted persian culture to rule iran like Ghaznavids Seljuks Timur Khuweazm Safavids Qajars That doesnt mean they are Iranics or Farsis.

I can't wait for more. The Seljuks desintegration and loss of central power (1092 - 1194) following Malik Shah's death in 1092, is one the most interesting periods of the Near East and Medieval times. From Empire to a patchwork of Atabegs and Emirs all nominally loyal to a Sultan in far away Persia.

@arda213
@arda213 3 жыл бұрын
@Black Wolf Madrasah education was a doctrinal education. That was the problem with it. Due to this its propaganda was limited to urban centers. Shia had the superior propaganda power. It would send "dai"s to Turkmens. Baba Ilyas, Dede Garkin, Hadji Bektash Veli etc. Many of these would spread their propaganda among Turkmens by playing baglama. Vefaiyyah, Batiniyyah, Khaydariyyah were the most widespread among Turkmens. I am telling this because you said majority of Turks adopted the sunni hanafi interpretion of islam but in fact sunnism was limited to urban centers and Turkmens were uneffected by the doctrinal madrasah propaganda. Of course Baba Ilyas revolt was a revolt what do you mean? It was such a great revolt that Seljuks had to hire Frankish mercenaries to destroy them because Turkmens completely destroyed the Seljuk army. In fact Mongols seeing this weakness attacked Seljuks and thats how battle of Kosedag was lost.

@Black Wolf Where did I ever say the state wasnt sunni? Did I ever contradict this? I am telling you, madrasah education was limited to urban city centers. All those scholars, clergs you listed, they meant zero to nomadic Turkmens. It was ''the few names'' I listed that inspired the Turkmen spiritual mentality. It was highly doctrinal so sunni madrasah teachings couldnt make their way to nomadic Turkoman tribes. Shia dais were far more successful at relating to Turkmens. Unlike the doctrinal madrasah teachings they would know how to relate to illiterate nomad Turkmens. They would use baglama and inspire the Turkmens. It was the Baba Ilyas, Baba Haydar, Dede Garkin, Baba Ishak, Hacı Bektaş who were esteemed the highest among Turkmens. Not those ''litteratours''. And it wasnt the creeds like maturidism that played a spiritual role among Turkmens. It was the syncretical shia sufi tariqahs like Haydarism, Babaism, Batinism, Kalenderism, Vefaism and later Bektashism that had credent on Turkmens. The state and cities were sunni thats another case but Turkmens were not. In fact there were some Seljuk statesman who previously created strong bounds with some of these Turkmen tariqahs to have political backing of the Turkmens.

@@sodinc But still it is the rule of nature. Look I am no fan of Darwinism ( I am Muslim) but the society prospers and thrives in shadow of great men. Sometimes in literature in my country( Pakistan) the period of Mongol conquests is roughly called " Drought of Men". The Muslim World at that time was suffering from lack of good leaders. In Middle East, some were hunted by Assassins and rest of the situation was not good. Even today our countries are in turmoil suffering from same malice that they faced in 13th century. And the whole World is going to face yet another disaster in shape of Men going weak and Women being in Power. I personally say that by destroying culture and by turning basic social hierarchy that has been the core of Human Civilization will prove no good. Muslim Countries are yet saved from such mess but the Satanists are locking their aim on them. First they destroy Family, then population decreases, then if there are children they are bastards. So a whole society is brought down upon its knees. Muslims are warned from this. Their ideas seem radical to world around them but these ideas are what which is saving them. May Allah protect them.

In fact his force was strong enough that he was planning to become the ruler of Oghuz Yagbu but he revealed his intention too early and had to retreat after loyal forces united against him. And he didn't retreat into Jand indeed rather stayed in southeastern Oghuz Yagbu called Cend where Muslim Turks were majority and became a Muslim as well. He continued gathering a force there and started a Muslim rebellion against Oghuz state which was partially successful and he died in today's Kazakhistan. It was his sons who decided fighting against Tengri Turks for barren lands was just pointlessly dividing their forces so they started to invade southwards and westwards while even more Turkic people joining their army in a search of fertile lands, in fact vast majority of historians agree that majority of Seljuk armies were Tengri not Muslim after a point. And Seljuk Beys kept returning to central Asia for recruiting more soldiers even after their victory against Byzantine!! Such as it is known Kütalmışoğlu Süleyman went all the way back to Tashkent in 1072 and recruited a large army with much larger following ''army'' which was families of those soldiers!! After Süleyman captured several towns in Anatolia many Turkish families migrated into those places.

This is among the most interesting historical channels at KZfaq. Some of the episodes here are more informative than the conventional channels on TV. For decades, from since school days, I had known about the Seljuks. At least by name. But had no idea how they became such a major factor in the region's history. All this while I had assumed they "must have originated somewhere in Turkey". Which is correct to an extent, but shallow.

At 13:16 shows Seljuke coin with lion and sun which became symbol of Iranian flag later during Safavid dynasty as well as Qajar kings along with Pahlavi. Alp Arsalan along with Malek Shah and Nezam Al Mulk ( their Persian Grand Vezier) established a great Turko-persian empire . The City of Isfahan became the capital and glory was restored to many Iranian traditions for first time after fall of Sassanid empire. The Jalali Calendar, a solar based Calendar with high degree of accuracy, was established and this Calendar is based on true seasonal changes with movement of earth on equinox,; the Calendar is still in use in Iran as official Calendar.

Seljuk is turko Iranian Khazonov, Anatoly M. (April 9, 2015). "Pastoral nomadic migrations and conquests". In Kedar, Benjamin Z.; Wiesner-Hanks, Merry E. (eds.). The Cambridge World History, Volume 5. Cambridge University Press. p. 373. ISBN 978-0521190749. The Seljuk Empire was another Turco-Iranian state, and its creation was unexpected even by the Seljuks themselves.

Ay takvimini aşamamış araplardan çok daha uygar ve gelişmiş bir medeniyet olduğu kesindir. Hatta o dönem "dünyanın en ileri medeniyetiydi." Anadolu'da Selçuklu eseri yaklaşık 900 yıllık üniversiteler, hastaneler, köprüler, kervansaraylar hala kullanımdadır. Bir Türk olarak, Selçuklu'ya Osmanlı'dan çok daha fazla saygı duyuyorum.

Kings and Generals, please make a video about Kipchaks (Qipchaks). They were so powerful and left so much legacy but people around the world still don't know anything about them. Even on Mongol invasion maps their land is shown as an empty land, while Kipchaks were the sole reason why Mongols invaded Central Asia. The whole BS goes as far as some historians invented a people of Cuman, while Cuman was just a Western name of Qipchak. Qipchak were the people of the Golden Horde, beloved by Jochi and his army in Western expansion.

​@@scourgeofgodattila3827 Actually the Seljuk bureaucracy was ruled by Persian viziers, even Nizam al-mulk held absolute power for over 20 years and basically taught the Oghuz nomadic Turks about establishing government (Siyasatnama) . So claiming the Seljuks ruled the Persians because of it's military influence is rather vague and fundemetally flawed. Also the Seljuks where not the only factor in the crusader wars, there where also Ayyubids etc who had no Turkic influence, Saladin being Kurdish, not to mention his close advisors like Imad ad-din al-Isfahani being Persian.
