History of the Khazar Empire

The history of the ancient Khazar Empire

A major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in A.D. 740 converted to Judaism. Khazaria, a conglomerate of Aryan Turkic tribes, was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazar's themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western (Ashkenazim) Jewry…

The Khazar's' sway extended from the Black sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.

Thereafter the Khazar's found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohamed. As Arthur Koestler points out, the Khazar's were the Third World of their day, and they chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism.

Ashkenazi Khazar Jew “The Gentiles”
In the genealogies of the Hebrew Bible, Ashkenaz (Hebrew: אַשְׁכְּנַז, ‘Aškănaz; Greek: Ασχανάζ, translit. Askhanáz) was a descendant of Noah. He was the first son of Gomer and brother of Riphath and Togarmah (Genesis 10:3, 1 Chronicles 1:6), with Gomer being the grandson of Noah through Japheth. The isles of the Gentiles. Genesis 10:5: “From these the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.” Genesis 10:5, KJV: “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.”
