Sorry to magically transport everyone back in time, but is this Batu Khan himself depicted in this picture? Its really cool and considering the Russian slaves/stolen money I am inclined to think that it is. |

unfortunately i don't know the source of this picture, probably a Russian language book. but i think it's save to assume that it might be Batu or one of his successors...

Thanks, it is a safe assumption, at least as far as future powerpoint presentation is concerned...

Interesting photo.Poor Russians.Indeed the Mongols and their successors were powerful.Although after Cengiz Khan died his sons and military leaders couldn´t keep the vast territory he conquered for long time.Now i focus your attention to a photo from Baga-Tur organisation from Bulgaria.This is a proove that our history still lives and these people are representing it in modern times.Thank you !

Is it just me, or is the guy drawing the arrow in the Medieval European way rather than the Turko-Steppe way?

I think is rather in Turko.Steppe way.This man represent the Proto-Bulgarians ( Onoghondurs ).
Look so Hunnish,though.Indeed we are descendants of the Huns.I found so much similar elements in everything : Clothing,Believes,Armours,Weapons,Way of life,etc.

Ihsan is referring to the method of drawing the arrow. In the photo is the so-called Mediterranean rather than a thumb draw used more commonly on the steppes. But I recall reading somewhere that it isn't clearly known which draw method was used by Huns, etc..

pentref.xtreemhost.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53This site mentions: "From the time of the Avars, thumb rings began to appear which would suggest this became the predominant method of drawing these bows, however this was by no means exclusive, the Huns before them left no evidence of thumb rings and the Magyars are believed to have used their bows in the western fashion. Turkish archery, Chinese and Korean all feature the thumb draw."
