Rise and Fall of the Rouran Mongol Empire

After the Fall of the Xiongnu Empire in the first century, the Steppe World of Eastern Eurasia descended into chaos. As several Xiongnu successor states were established further south, and the so called Huna people appeared in the West, the central Mongolian Plains became a battlefield of Turko-Mongol infighting, dominated by the Xianbei tribes. After nearly two hundred years, a new stable state emerged that managed to unite most of the tribes under its banner: the Rouran Khaganat. Its ruling dynasty descended from the Mongolic Donghu tribe - the same one that had been driven out of Mongolia by the Xiongnu. Now, the once defeated made their turn. The Rouran established the first “true” steppe empire with a sophisticated hierarchy and bureaucracy, and expanded their territory into Manchuria in the east and Kazakhstan in the west. Over time they aimed control over the Silk Roads and got into conflict with the Wei Empire in China and the Hephthalite Empire in Central Asia.
After 200 years of supreme rule, the Rouran were defeated by the ascending Ashina tribe of Bumin and Istemi, the Celestial Türks. But their dynasty did not “vanish”. Instead, large parts found refuge in China and tried to regain control over the Eastern Steppes, which resulted in a prolonged war against the Turks. Another part migrated even further away, to the west. Suspiciously, just as these Rouran nobles appeared on the vicinity of Eastern Europe, the so-called Avars appear in ancient sources, too. For a long time, connections between the Rouran and Avars had been suggested in such sources but negated in modern academia. Now, new studies confirm that the rulers of the Avars were indeed the Rouran refugees from Asia. Ultimately, they created the Avar Khaganat in Pannonia and waged wars against the Eastern Roman and the Frankish Empire. In this documentary, we are going to explore the earliest history of the Rouran, explain their lifestyle and ideology, the political and economic dynamics of their Khaganat - and try to understand how Rouran refugees managed to create the mighty Avar Empire, in the middle of Europe.

    This video took longer to make then usual due to less time I had to invest in Khan‘s Den in November. However, I hope it was worth making in as I actually wanted to leave out the Rouran and continue with the Celestial Türks. However, seeing how often we have mentioned the Rouran within the past four years while never really explaining their state and origin, I feel that this video was long overdue. So as always, enjoy. And if you really like what you are watching, consider becoming a member.

    @@georo233 Not to mistake with modern Avars (in Dagestan etc). Avars from Ruaran was shortly in Pannonia and, as a distinct people, long assimilated and extinct. Modern-day Avars have nothing to do with it and they just have the same name. Likewise the modern-day Tatars and Xianbei (Mongolian) Tatars of pre-Genghis Khan. Just the name is transferred due to complex circumstances. I saw Avars in Russia being confused: They should not worry! It is not about them. Moreover, the word 'Xianbei' is now being re-transcribed and is being written as 'Serbi', not "Xianbei'. Again, it has nothing to do with Serbs in Balkans. They should all relax.

    Here is what I wrote to somebody who know as much history as you do. xxxx Your DNA is as accurate as the Covid 19 pandemic. My pen name is Raven Alb J and you write this name on Google and see who you are talking with. You do not know any history whatsoever, yet you argue with me, who studied in debt all the Antiquity books that survived and were translated in English. I wrote books on history and proved that historians are wrong most of the time. There is a very good reason Romanians are never tested, or mentioned anywhere by Historians. It is because I debated your best historians on earth on internet, and wiped the flor with them. I will show you how much Romanian language influenced all the European languages. CREIER means "brain" in Romanian. CREATION very clearly evolved from Romanian CREIER (brain). No CREIER no CREATION!!! From CREIER the word CRANIUM evolved, because CREIER in in the CRANIUM.. From CREIER/CRANIUM the word CREST evolved, because the CREST is on top of the CRANIUM. Do you get it??? Only in the Romanian language the word CREIER (brain) exist. In Latin it is CEREBRUM and in Greek EGKEPHALOS. I have hundreds of examples like this, and your great historians could not deny any of them. Not a single one. That is why the hate me so much, and you will never see anything about Romanians in their subjects. I can't put anything on you tube, because they will not show my videos period. Why are they so afraid of me if I am wrong??? xxxx There it is. Show me what all those historians could not. What do you see wrong whit the example of the Romanian language I gave??? I am sick of you Romanians who know nothing, yet go against me only to look smart!!!

    It may not be true at all. Cause this step zone is really wide from Mongolia to Caucasia. Nobody could be so “quick” to pass entire steppe. And also it is against the recordings of Zacharias who once wrote Avars among the living tribes in Caucasia begining of the year 550. It was the year before Turks revolted against Rourans. This DNA results which I read with the others (there are 4 DNA results) basically says that the Pannonian Avars is geneticly coming from a DNA pool which also Rouran, Xianbei and Xiongnu comes from. And one of this works the researchers say, “the Rouran DNA which was avaliable” so they only worked on a few or even only one Rouran DNA. As we knew from written records the Rouran had so many different tribes under their rule. So it makes the “ avaliable DNA “ more suspecious.

    And again some creator adds more turkic then it was(according to the most studies). Over the years, 10+, i heard actually everything. Xiongnu were turkic, xianbei, huns, mongols... even chinese. There were turkic tribes later on but not in the early days long before turkic identity was born. Thats simply called proto-turkic if you speak from that time. And in the common big federations you always had a mixture, the turkic part was always described as minority or little helpers, until Gök turks build their massive empire. tuoba were buddhists, not tengrists. Xiongnu DNA revealed the mixture of a variety from genes. And rouran were probably a mix of 3 or more ethnicities. read the old chinese chronicles because they are the only source about that and every historian takes the refererence from there and just rewrite it in their favor. DNA is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. For example a DNA sample must not lead to a physiognomy you would imagine. The truth is, there is no 100% evidence what was (proto)turkic and was not. And in that grey fog, you often see claims like here, adding something into something by a strong guess and so the fog is filled with imaginery history.

    One intresting point that may be related to Avars is that in Farsi the word AvarÉ (آواره) means a person with no home and also the word Avar (آوار) means construcrtion debris and it is used for when large amounts of debri fall down and demolish . This is just a guess but it could have rooted in times when Avars had to move in large groups to west and encountered Sassanid Persians

    The word AVERE means "wealth" in Romanian. AVARI means "wealthy people", and wealthy they were. When the Franks defeated the Avars, 50 wagons of gold were carried to Charlemagne. Stop calling the Huns, Avars, and Mongols "Turks". They were Skits, Romanian ancestors. There is the city of HUNEDOARA in Romania and it means "city of the Huns". Procopius makes clear that Huns were not Turks (the name Turk did not exist at that time) and that they were related to the Goths. Where do you people get these stupid information???

    The clan of the founder of Northern Qi, known as the Gao clan, ethnically belonged to the Han Chinese, although it came under the influence of the Xianbei military aristocracy that dominated during the reign of the unified Northern Wei. Thus, Northern Qi (which appeared as a result of the division of Northern Wei into western and eastern thrones - then the Gao clan usurped power in Eastern Wei from the puppet emperor ruling there by announcing the creation of Qi) was Han Chinese. In addition, you cannot claim that xianbei (from there the ruling Wei clan of Tuoba came from, who then took the surname Yuan as part of the process of Sinification. The Yuwen clan was generally mixed and on the female line it had entirely Han Chinese) were Turks because it was never a single people, but rather a motley tribal confederation and the southern Xianbei differed from the northern ones and at that time there were no Turks as such because the Turks themselves are a mixture of different ethnic groups. Xianbei, on the other hand, clearly had distinctive features from any subsequent Turkic empires and their traditions were more similar to the nomadic Murong tribes living nearby and the tribes in Manchuria at that time, and all of them would somehow be subjected to strong Chinese influence by adopting the language and culture of the Han central plains, although they retained distinctive features for some time. The rulers of Northern Wei (Tuoba or later Yuan) called themselves the emperors of China and claimed to rule the entire Celestial Empire competing for this right with the southern dynasties, concluding mixed dynastic marriages with southern princes forced to migrate to the north as a result of civil wars in the southern dynasties, and also intermarried with the Han aristocracy remaining in the north to consolidate their position. Even if the top of Northern Wei initially differed greatly from the Han population, it was inevitably Sinized anyway, since it was possible to manage the territories of the Celestial Empire only if any nomadic leader followed Han (often Confucian) traditions and observed the Chinese (Han*) dynastic cycle. This is definitely not the Turkic Empire or even its forerunner

    ​@@cudanmang_theog It's the same question as whether the British royal family is German, or whether Germany is actually Celtic (rather than Germanic) or whether Italy is actually not Romanic but Germanic or whether Napoleon was Italian and not French. There is not a clear line what is Italian and what is French, just as there is no clear “Han” Chinese without influences from northern nomadic people or southern people. And the Xianbei tribe was definitely not Turkic. The Xianbei were an ancient nomadic people who emerged on the Mongolian plateau after the Xiongnu, from the Daxingan Mountains, and belonged to the Eastern Hu ethnic group, a Mongolian-speaking group that had no connection with the Turkic languages. After all, Northern Wei was a Chinese dynasty whose majority of the population was still Han Chinese. This was because the Xianbei people at that time were completely sinicized by Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei. The Emperor told them to change their surnames to Han surnames, wear clothes like Han Chinese, used Han Chinese letter, and even more. Even though many Xianbei aristocrats tried to resist, they were gradually becoming Chinese. Finally, they became so Chinese that they completely lost all their original Xianbei identity. Hundreds of years of governing northern part of China turned them all Chinese

    To be honest, I have never seen the historical value of the rourans and other peoples of great extent on the territory of present-day Mongolia for study, perceiving them as only nomads, that is, a barbarian, as they are seen by the Chinese civilized empires to the south, but now I understand that this is largely erroneous and extremely biased representation. For example, the same Manchus or Jurchens were not nomads and practiced sedentary farming, being subject to the process of Sinification, and it is clear that "wild" peoples would not be able to conquer China or fight with Chinese empires on equal terms if they were exclusively wild and inept. The same Northern Wei (whose rulers initially bore the surname Tuoba) were originally a tribe that deeply absorbed the surrounding Chinese (Han*) culture entered the service of the dying Jin Empire and then firmly settled in the north of modern China laying the foundation for its own Xianbei empire. And they even competed on equal terms with the southern ethnically Han empires, although eventually the differences between them blurred by the Sui era. In general, an interesting video!

Mongolians always lived in their motherland Mongolia and they did not arrive from somewhere else. The Ruran rock sctipt found in Mongolia has never been decoded into turkish. On the contrary, recently it has been decoded by Mongolian linguists and it has proven that the vocabulary and grammar structure is Mongolian, prooving that the elits and the ruling class were Mongolians, not turks.

    The word Avar comes from the Persian word Avare which is a vagabond or vagrant. A homeless person. Makes sense as the Avars were nomadic. Also they are Caucasian peoples NOT mongoloids. Proto-Turks originated from a mixture of Eastern Iranic Saka nomadic horsemen and Mongoloids pastoralists in Western Mongolia around 300BCE with the Xiongnu confederation. The Turk identity arose from this Iranic Mongoloid mixture to form the Gokturk empire around 600AD and spread westward into Central Asian assimilated the Western Iranic peoples. If you go back to the original Orkhon inscriptions you can see they used the term bey which was inherited from their Iranic ancestors which means Lord. This is the cognate in Old Persian baga -> Middle Persian bay. The Turkic peoples who expanded westward into Turkmenistan and assimilated the Western Iranics in the region became known as the Oghuz Turks. Turkmens themselves have over 50% Iranic DNA. Turkish people are mainly native Anatolian with average 10% Central Asian admixture (as shown in the largest Turkish DNA study published in 2021)
