We can find the roots of most of European people all the way back to India. We can not find anyone who could have been the ancestors of Turks other than vague and insane theories like Sumerians, Pelasgians, Hyperborians, imaginary Mu people, etc...
We can not find a proper background about Turks. They suddenly pop up in history migrating to places in Central Asia and forming empires but we can't say how they became organized and advanced enough to start forming empires.
We can't tell why all of a sudden more than a hundred million people started to call themselves "Turk" and started speaking Turkic languages. We can't even find from where did this Turkic language came from. It's like an isolated language among steppe people which is extremely influenced by Persian, Chinese, Arabic, Indo-European languages, etc... and that simply doesn't make any sense because we should be able to find a background for any language. It's totally unscientific to call some language isolated-alien.
There was an Anti-Steppe : Anti-Turkic policy in the past, probably some kind of Iconoclasm occurred and that could be the reason why we can't find many materials regarding Turks.

I have to admit it, if it wasn't for the internet I would be completely whitewashed by now here in AUS. No Australian libraries stock material related to steppe history, no Australian scholars are interested in anything to do with central-Asia, no Australian gives a crap about a small minority of Oirat Mongols scattered around the place.
But the internet + this forum + amazon.com = a "workable" research platform to find one's darn roots. Even it's not something so pleasant...
