Sons of Nimrod

Fülszöveg

The origin of the Hungarians has been debated for centuries and no satisfactory solution has been found. In this book, the author attempts to answer this question, using as his key the most ancient traditions of the Hungarians themselves.
In eight chapters written in a highly readable style yet with scientific precision, the author analyses the Hungarian national tradition, early foreign sources, the ruling theory regarding the origin of the Hungarians, and their connections with Turkic peoples, Huns, Persians, Sumerians, Hur-rians and Subarians. A final chapter summarises the author's conclusions and indicates the way for future research.
Over and over again, the Hungarian Nimrod-legend is discussed and compared with the findings of linguistics, archaeology, e t h n o -graphy, anthropology and other relevant disciplines, revealing not only the true origin of the Magyars but also making a significant contribution to biblical research.
