HUNOR AND MAGOR / GOG MAGOG / YECUC MECUC.

HUNOR AND MAGOR / GOG MAGOG / YECUC MECUC.

 Hunor and Magor;  Mythical hakan in Ural / Altaic and Hungarian mythologies.  They are two brothers.  They are considered to be the ancestors of the Huns and Hungarians.  Hunor represents Hun arm and Magor represents Hungarian arm.  The two names given to Hungarians in Europe today (Magyar and Hungar) also originate from here.  According to some views, it actually dates back to much earlier and was formed by the development of Scythian (Saka) legends.  Hunor, together with his brother Magor, crosses the sea in pursuit of a blessed deer and reaches the territory of Hungary.  It is said that Attila Han descended from Hunor.  Magor is descended from Almos.  In some other Central Asian legends, they are two brothers who were the founders of the Saka.

 Hunor and Magor are mentioned in Hungarian epics.  Based on this, the Mongians are thought to be the ancestors of the Hungarians, a Turkish tribe, but in this case, the first homeland of the Hungarians is also thought to be Southern Anatolia.  In addition, it is thought that the Mongolian name comes from Magor.

 Similarity of Gok and Magok (Gog and Magog)

 Although the expression Gok-Magok is mentioned in the Torah and the Bible, Jews, Christians and Arabs exclude Turks from these two terms.  It is said in the comments that "people living in Caucasia mean Scythians".  However, it is thought that these two brothers are not Gog and Magog mentioned in religious books.

 On the other hand, Cimmerians and Saka, who were Turks, followed the Caucasus-Euphrates road and settled in the Middle East in the 8th century BC.  According to the Assyrian sources, when the Saka came to the Caucasus by expelling the Cimmerians, Saka Khan Gok had two sons, Parat and Marat, and when they attacked the Assyrian country in 662 BC, they were defeated and captured.  Parat's son Madiva is described as taking over all Anatolia, Syria and Palestine.

 M.S.  In the Syriac Alexander novel written in 628, the name Magok, which is mentioned next to the name Gok, is also mentioned with the names of the chiefs of the Turkish tribes.  (Magok is named after the grandson of Noah, the ancestor of the Turks).  The Bishop of Urfa, Âfram, wrote in the work we mentioned: "They are Gok and Magok horsemen. They fly like a storm over their steeds. There is no one who can stand against them."

 It is thought that the Gogars, the Mogars, descendants of Gok, are the descendants of Magor.  Mong country is around Van and Hakkari.  Both are Saka sizes.  According to the conclusion, the Turks came to Anatolia with the Battle of Malazgirt and the Saka long before that, not during the Seljuk period.
