Milite Ignoto Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Turks established the most powerful and advanced civilizations in the world. (see https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Büyük_Türk_Devleti). In the 6th century, when they lived in Central Asia, they started to migrate to the south west and west because the water resources dried up and there was famine. Their migration movement started the tribes migration (völkerwanderung) in Europe. They are not barbarians. But they fought barbarously to survive. In Italy, the Etruscans (Tusci) are of Turkish descent. Romilus and Remus is the ancient Turkish mythology that the Huns left to Europe. They established the Ottoman Empire, the most powerful and richest empire in the world, for the last time in Anatolia, the last land they settled. The crescent in their flag represents God/Tengri/Tanrı/Allah (c.c) and the star rimbolizes the heaven. and the colour is the blood shed in the last war. As for Dothrakis and Turks, it looks like Martin studied some Turkish History. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Tolkien’s supposedly Gothic Rohan is much more Turkic than GRRM’s bare ass Dothraki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTN02 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The "16 great turkic empires" is a turkish idea from the 60's quite similar to national socialism: creating a artificial national feeling. What they do is they claim that a shitload of other empires where really turkish. they also claim the Hunnic and Mongolian empires. The Hun Horde came from present day China and Mongolia, not turkey, and the Hunnic empires have never included the territory of Turkey. The Mongolian Empire came from Mongolia (surprise) and never included the territory of Turkey. There are some similarities between the Ottoman Empire and the Dothraki: Genocide (Greek and Armenians for the Turks, Lazareen for the Dothraki) Extensive use of rape (the turks used it as a weapon of war, for the Dothraki its a "pasttime" or something) But this is also shit that the Huns and Mongolians used to pull. (and a shitload of other empires. hell, the russian empire is using it today) So no, the Dothraki are not based of Turks, they are based mostly around the Huns & the Mongol empire.

Arrioth Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Dothrakis are not based on Turks, they're based on a lot of people from Native Americans to Mongols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
