Prester John of Tenduc

This is the story of the Tartarian Priest-Kings who ruled a small Nestorian Christian Kingdom in far east Asia... 🧵
First attested to by Marco Polo in the 13th century, Prester John of Tenduc wasn't the same Prester John of Africa of more famous later legend, but he was said to have descended from an earlier figure of the same name - Presbyter John of Syria (John of Patmos and/or the Disciple)

You've heard of Ogham, but have you heard of the Boibel-Loch Druidic alphabet?

Also known as the Babel-Lot, it was the series of letters used by the Essenes before their suppression under Hadrian Its original order was:

Babel, Lot, Ephron, Salem, Ne-esthan, Hur, David, Telmen, Kohath, Caleb, Moriah, Gad, Gomer, Jethro, Reu & Jacab, Jose, Jura, Jesu, Jaichin (without the Js)

These were all the tribes/clans of Israel with the exception of Babel, Salem, Moriah & Ne-esthan

The History of Great Tartaria 🌏

(For beginners AND seasoned researchers!)

Join us in this thread as we take a brief overview of the "Tartarian Empire" & explore the hidden history of this nation lost to history! 🧵
#Tartaria #TartarianEmpire #HiddenHistory

Tartaria was a vast empire of united countries across Asia existing from approximately 1200-1850

With the greatest part first united under the conquests of Genghis Khan & Mongol Tartars from 1205-1227, his sons continued expanding after his death until the Mongol peak in 1279

Now, before we even get into "official"/mainstream Mongol history, or even the "alternative" Tartarian history - let's get straight into some sources!

What can we learn from old books about Temujin/Chinggis?
Who really was he?
How did he rise to power & where was he crowned?

And now for Part 2 of... Part 4?

Let's find another city! And we'll break ourselves in with another easy one:

Quiqui/Quicui
Sound familiar? Well maybe that's because there's a present day city that exists in China called Qiqihar!

So let's start with the mainstream academic perspective on this one.
Officially Tangut was known as the Western Xia/Xi Xia Empire & was a Tangut-led Buddhist imperial dynasty that existed around modern day Gansu from 1038 to 1227 AD.

Today we dive into a strange & ancient Nestorian Christian Kingdom in the Far East of Asia, ruled by a curious character known as "Prestor John" since as early as 1000AD:

Tenduc

Nestorian Christianity? Prestor John?? 1000AD???

There's a lot to unpack here!
So before we get into the details let's take a look at the earliest known reference to Tenduc from Western sources:

And of course, we turn to our old friend Marco Polo ~1300AD

Part 2

Join me this time as I take a deep dive into the mysterious disappearance of the Tartarian Empire's old Eastern capital & the Royal Seat of the Cham:

Cambalu

So let's start with that "Seat of the Cham" because. as you may remember, that phrase was often used in relation to Chambaliq... and for good reason!

Because it's a direct translation.

"Cham"/"Cam" = "Prince" and "Baliq"/"Balu" = "Seat" in Turko-Mongolic languages.

"The Lost Cities of Tartaria"

A thread.

In this first of a future series, I'm going to explore the mystery behind the lost old Western capital of the Tartarian Empire - "Chambaliq/Cumbalich" - alongside the missing Lake "Kithay/Khitai"

#Tartaria #TartarianEmpire
Starting with some maps, we notice between the 1500s & 1700s some things we no longer see today:
A large lake East of the Ural Mountains, and when we follow the river down from it we then find Cumbalich.

2. 1570
3. 1606-1640
4. 1680

Great Tartaria. Grande Tartarie. Tartary. Independent Tartary. Russian/Chinese Tartary. Western Tartary. Little/Petite Tartary... A country of many names!

Let's talk a little bit about Tartary.
A thread. 🧵 Tartary/Tartaria was a country that existed in Central Asia/Turkestan (stretching at its peak from East China to Crimea) from around 1500-1850 but is not taught about in schools.

Why?
Because there was an effort made to remove the country from the historical record, of course!
