Bu bilgi heryerde yok!

Plutarhos, yaklaşık 2100 yıl önce, Romalı komutan Sertorius tarafından yerlerinden edilen, İspanya’nın Katalonya bölgesinde yaşamış olan Karakitan < Characitani (Χαρακιτανοί) adlı bir halktan bahseder: Adı bana tanıdık geldi!

ENGLISH : Plutarch mentions a people called Karakitan < Characitani (Χαρακιτανοί), who lived in the Spanish region of Catalonia, who were displaced by the Roman commander Sertorius about 2100 years ago. Their names sound familiar to me!

The Qara Khitai or Kara Khitai (Chinese喀喇契丹pinyinKālā QìdānMongolianХар Хятан; literally "Black Khitan") empire (1124[note 1]–1218),[6] also known as the Western Liao (traditional Chinese西遼simplified Chinese西辽pinyinXī Liáo) dynasty, officially the Great Liao (大遼大辽Dà Liáo),[7][8] was a sinicized[9][10][11]dynastic empire in Central Asia ruled by the Khitan Yelü clan, and a successor state to the Liao dynasty. The dynasty was founded by Yelü Dashi (Emperor Dezong of Liao), who led the remnants of the Liao dynasty from Manchuria to Central Asia after fleeing from the Jin dynasty conquest of their homeland in northern China. The empire was usurped by the Naimans under Kuchlug in 1211; traditional Chinese, Persian, and Arab sources consider the usurpation to be the end of the dynasty,[12] even though the empire would not fall until the Mongol conquest in 1218. The Qara Khitai is considered by historians to be a legitimate dynasty of China, as is the case for the preceding Liao dynasty.[13][14]

The territories of the Qara Khitai corresponded to parts of modern-day ChinaKazakhstanKyrgyzstanMongoliaTajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The Anushtegin dynasty, the KarluksQocho, the Kankalis, and the Kara-Khanid Khanate were vassal states of the Qara Khitai at some point in history.

It is a nice Turkic word "kara" meaning simply BLACK.


A big geographical and time gap and such a similarity.


Interesting!
