The "Turani European History Thesis" was advocated by some Western scholars in the 19th century. This thesis suggests that the Turan peoples, originating from Asia, migrated to Europe in prehistoric times, leaving significant cultural and technological influences. The main scholars supporting this view are:
James Fergusson (1808-1886): The British archaeologist and historian Fergusson argued that megalithic structures in Europe were built by Turan-origin peoples. According to him, certain cultural elements in Europe were shaped by the influence of Turan peoples who came from Asia.
David Leon Cahun (1841-1900): The French orientalist Cahun was one of the important figures who adopted the Turani European History Thesis. At the 1873 International Congress of Orientalists, he argued that the Turan race, originating from Asia, migrated to Europe in prehistoric times. Additionally, in his 1875 lecture titled "The Turani Origin of the Language Spoken Before Aryan Languages in France," he supported Fergusson's views.
These scholars, by suggesting that certain cultural and technological developments in Europe were shaped by the influence of Turan peoples from Asia, advocated for the Turani European History Thesis.
This thesis argues that certain cultural and technological elements in Europe originate from Asia, particularly from the Turks. For example, it is claimed that the jade axes found in Europe are of Asian origin and were brought to Europe by the Turks. This view was supported by some European archaeologists and historians in the 19th century.
Jade Stone Debates: Supporters of the Turani thesis argue that the jade axes found in Europe were brought from Asia, while proponents of the Indo-Aryan thesis claim that there are jade stone sources in Europe as well, and that these axes were locally produced. However, research has shown that jade sources in Europe are limited and of poor quality. This situation has strengthened the thesis that the jade axes are of Asian origin.
