THE OVERLOOKED TURKIC LEGACY: HOW ANDALUSIA, JEWISH-TURKIC TIES, AND OTTOMAN CONSENT SHAPED RENAISSANCE EUROPE
Keywords:
Throughout history, Jewish communities have often been at the center of knowledge preservation, particularly in Andalusia, where they safeguarded the Turkic legacy during Islamic rule [3]. The ties between Jewish communities and Turkic civilizations are not coincidental but rooted in shared ancestry, trade, and intellectual collaboration.Abstract
This article examines the intricate historical connections between Turkic civilizations, Jewish communities, and the aristocratic and intellectual elites of Europe. Anchored in the “Odam Tili” theory and an analysis of historical events, the paper uncovers how the fall of Andalusia (1492) and subsequent Eurocentric manipulations of knowledge obscured Turkic-Jewish contributions to the European Renaissance, global finance, and even the colonization of the Americas. By tracing these connections through etymology, historical accounts, and sociopolitical analysis, the article reveals the enduring influence of Turkic knowledge systems and their role in shaping the modern world[1][2].
