THE HIDDEN TURKIC ROOTS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION: FROM RIMBAUD TO ALEXANDER THE GREAT
##semicolon##
The she-wolf statue (Lupa Capitolina), prominently displayed as a symbol of Rome’s origins, has long been interpreted through a Eurocentric lens. However, its roots in Turkic nomadic symbolism—specifically the wolf as a sacred protector and maternal figure—challenge conventional narratives. Turkic tribes migrating into Europe introduced this symbolism, which became central to Roman mythology [3].##article.abstract##
Western historiography often credits ancient Rome, Greece, and Latin Europe as the primary origins of Western civilization. However, a deeper linguistic, historical, and anthropological analysis reveals that Turkic nomadic civilizations played a foundational role in shaping these traditions. From the symbolic use of the she-wolf in Rome to the linguistic and cultural roots of Latin itself, this paper explores the suppressed and overlooked contributions of Turkic peoples to Western civilization. Furthermore, it critically examines the construction of figures like Alexander the Great as Eurocentric fabrications aimed at erasing the Turkic legacy [1][2].
