Countries That USED TO EXIST In MEDIEVAL ASIA

▶ In this video I talk about countries that used to exist in Medieval Asia. Exploring the political landscape of the continent in the year 1200 AD, highlighting the changes in borders, countries that existed then (being either annexed, destroyed, or fading away) but not today, and those that remain (plus how they evolved over time). Going into specific regions and states, including the Khmer Empire, the Ainu people, the Ghurid Sultanate, the Khwarezm Sultanate, the Champa City States, the Dali Kingdom, Mosul, and the Uyghur Khanates. The Khmer Empire was a Hindu-Buddhist empire with an innovative healthcare system but faced decline due to environmental factors. The Ainu people inhabited Northern Japan until they were assimilated into Japanese society. The Uchima Kingdom's historical existence is unclear. The Ghurid Sultanate and Khwarezm Sultanate were once powerful but eventually collapsed, with the Khwarezmian Sultanate facing a devastating Mongol invasion. The Champa City States in Vietnam had a long history of sovereignty. The Dali Kingdom in China traded horses with the Southern Song Dynasty. Mosul's sovereignty in 1200 AD is questionable due to its history of changing rulers. The Uyghur Khanates in North-West and North China varied in structure and eventually fell to Mongol and Qing rule.

    The reason you could not find any data is because "Uchima" is a spelling mistake. The correct spelling is "Uchina" with "n". The people are called the "Uchinanchu" people. The word "Uchina" is synonymous with "Ryukyu" and "Okinawa". The word "Gusuku" means castle, so "Gusuku Period" is the castle building period when they created many castles all over the island.

    I learned the pronunciation from this old Fox show called John Doe. One of the first scenes is him getting pulled up by Cambodian fishermen who are shocked this white guy somehow speaks fluent Khmer (he can speak every language). They ask him “You speak Khmer?!” And from that I learned it’s pronounced khmae. When I later learned about the Khmer Rouge, I pronounced it that way and my teacher sternly corrected me. I’m glad to know I was right all along 20 years later.

    It is more like «Kha-mae» not ka-mai. In Khmer this is how we write it «ខ្មែរ» literally «kh-m-e-r» but the « ែ »sound that we have is quite hard to imitate in english. Like in the word មែ mae (mother) ស្រែ srae (rice field) or បន្លែ bonlae (vegatable) has the -ae «ែ» sound. But of course in english you don’t have any cut sound like that. That’s why many cambodian americans pronounce it as «kamai» but that’s wrong tho just saying. People in Cambodia or even me cambodian born in europe we pronounce it the proper way.

    At 10:22. Well, "marble" in Chinese is not "大理" but "大理石," or "stone from Dali." I suppose the marble from 大理 was of such high quality it became "marble" in the Chinese languages. Somewhat similar to what happened in Europe, where marble from the Carrara mountain in northern Italy was of such high quality "Carrara" became synonymous with luxurious marble in the European kingdoms and even in North America. The Dali Kingdom or "大理" literally means "great logic" or "great truth," very likely alluding to the fact that 大理 was a kingdom known for its wise Buddhist kings in old Chinese myths.

    I knew the Philippines🇵🇭 wouldn't be mentioned here. 1) Anyway, according to Chinese sources, during the 3rd century CE, one of the polities/trading kingdoms mentioned was "Tou-po". Scholars equate it with *Tubok* , which was the old name of Cotabato, located in the Moro Gulf of Mindanao Island. Northwest of it, we found *Bo-tan* which could probably be a kingdom in Luzon island known for its gold. 2) During the 10th Century, *Dewata* Kingdom appeared in the Laguna Copper plate Inscription, which is a kingdom in Northeastern Mindanao Island. Its contemporary is *Tundun* Kingdom in the Manila Bay area of Luzon. 3) During the 11th to 14th Centuries, *Butuan* Kingdom succeeded Dewata and *Mait* Kingdom succeeded Tundun. At this time, the *Visayan raiders* were also recorded pillaging the coasts of Southern China. The Ilocano Kingdom of *Samtoy* was also recorded. 4) And during the 15th century, *Lusong* flourished and succeeded Mait. It was a tributary state to Ming China and it had colonies in the Malay Peninsula. The *Three Kingdoms of Sulu* succeeded Butuan, known for its South Sea Pearls. It was also a tributary state to Ming China. Other important polities are Pangasinan, Malindug (Marinduque), and Kumalarang (Basilan). 5) Finally, in the 16th century, major courts began to convert to Islamic sultanates. *Maynila* emerged in Lusong as the new port city state, and *Sulu became a Sultanate*. *Sugbo Kingdom* in Cebu also flourished and became an important trading port in the Visayas region. These kingdoms, except the Sultanates in Sulu and Mindanao, ceased to exist during the Spanish conquest.

    As far as I know it is not "Uchima", but rather "Uchina" in the native okinawan dialect and refers to the connections of Okinawa and China . However, even before Okinawa was unified, due to its strategic position it was a hub of trade and travel from the Philippines, China and other regions. "Uchina" is today very often a part of the name of martial arts schools teaching okinawan Karate, e.g. "Uchinadi". "Di" in okinawan dialect = "te" in Japanese. So, "Uchinadi" translates to "China Hand" or "China Technique".

    For example, in your image of Okinawa/Ruyuku These alpha beta names are just the pronunciation, the meaning of the names lost in the translation. SANSHAN 三山 (as shown in your image)literally means three mountains Nansan means the southern mountain Beisam means the northern mountain Zhongshan means the middle mountain All these names indicate the location of the three kingdoms on that island

    The big mistake Japanese did was to start a war with Russia. The defeated will have a price to pay. It is good-bye forever to these islands. A Russian colleague told me if Japan relinquished the island of Hokkaido, then Russia might consider as those islands are part of it too. I think what about Okinawa ?

    The Turks were considered as the best warriors due to their horsemanship and skill in archery. Kaushik Roy., n.d. Military Transition in Early Modern Asia, 1400-1750: Cavalry, Guns, Government and Ships (Bloomsbury Studies in Military History). p.24. While there is much more than this to the Turks, it is true that Turks rank among history’s great empire-builders and rulers. Under the Ottomans they conquered vast territories in the Balkans and the Middle East and ruled for six hundred years. Turkey Country Study Guide Volume 1 Strategic Information and Developments pp.30 The Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.

    al-Jahiz "The Goggle-Eyed": “The Turks are famed for their prowess as mounted bowmen.... The Turk looses ten arrows before another person can let one fly. He gallops his horse up a hillside or down a gully faster than others can make their steed go on flat ground.... The Turk's ability to stay in the saddle-trotting, sustained gallopinglong night rides, and cross-country trips-is truly amazing.... In the course of any day the Turk spends more time in the saddle than on the ground.... The Turk has adapted his body to eating only meatHis horse eats only leaves and shoots and it needs no shelter from the sun and no covering against the cold.... Turks have no interest in craftsmanship or commerce, medicine, farming, or building.... They care only about raiding, huntingriding horses, and fighting with rival clans.... They have mastered these skillswhich give them all their pleasure, glory, and interest.”

    Writing in the ninth century, the Arab historian al-Jahiz captured the awe with which outsiders viewed these fighters: If a thousand of their [Turks’] horse join battle and let off a single shower of arrows, they can mow down a thousand [Arabs’] horse. No army can withstand this kind of assault. The Kharajites and the Bedouin have no skill worth mentioning in shooting from horseback, but the Turk can shoot at beasts, birds, hoops, men, sitting quarry, dummies and birds on the wing, and do so at full gallop to fore or to rear, to left or to right, upwards or downwards, loosing ten arrows before the Kharajite can nock one ... and if they do turn their back,they are to be feared as much as deadly poison and sudden death; for their arrows hit the mark as much when they are retreating as when they are advancing.18 RICHARD M. EATON. India in the Persianate Age, 1000-1765 by Richard Eaton .

    The Virtues of the Turks The Turk has with him at the moment of attack everything he needs for himself, his weapons, his mount, and equipment for it. His endurance is quite amazing for long riding, continuous travel, lengthy night trips, and crossing a land. For one thing, the horse of the Khariji [a warrior identified with a radical Muslim rebellion in southern Iraq] does not have the endurance of the Turk's mount. The Khariji is not good at caring for his horse except as riders care for their steeds. The Turk is more skilled than the veterinarian and better at teaching his mount what he wants than trainers. He bred it and raised it as a foal. It followed him if he called and galloped behind him when he galloped. . . . If you sum up the life of the Turk and reckon his days you will find he sits longer on the back of his mount than on the face of the earth. The Turk rides a stallion, or a mare, and goes off on a raid, a trip or hunting expedition or some other project. Then the mare and her foals follow him. If he is unable to hunt people, he hunts wild animals. If he is unsuccessful in that or needs nourishment, he bleeds one of his riding animals. If thirsty he milks one of his mares. If he wants to rest the one under him he mounts another without touching the ground. There is no one on earth besides him whose body would not reel against eating only meat. His mount is likewise satisfied with stubble, grass, and shrubs. He does not shade it from the sun or cover it against the cold. . . . The Turk is a herdsman, groom, trainer, trader, veterinarian, and rider. A single Turk is a nation in himself. Ibn al-Haytham
