Migrations
of peoples
The symbolic system of Annotation archaeological finds
- which, in some cases, bear some relationship to Székely runes - prove that
religious ideas were the same from the
beginning of time (from at least around 7000 BC) until the Christian
Era. The characteristic symbolism appears in Attic, Hurrian, Sumerian cultures
and in the similar ideas reflected by Scythian, Hunnish, Avar, Obi-Ugrian
objects, Hungarian national symbols[1],
and even American Indian symbols. The hieroglyphic, sometimes seemingly
phonetic application of these symbols is the same in spite of thousands of
years of difference in age and great geographical distance (Figs. 11, 12, 17,
32, 36). The relationship between these signs are facts that cannot be left out of consideration in the theories of
the early history of mankind and the origin of writing.
According to an often published view, before the
Neolithic Age (before the start of surplus-producing agriculture), conditions
for the development of effective communications did not exist, therefore great
nations, languages and writing influencing large areas could not develop either
(cf. Róna-Tas/1996/32). Of course, this is only one of those linguistic
theories for which there is no proof at all. Another - opposing - theory says
that some linguistic elements, such as the stem of the onomatopoeic word murmur, can be traced back to the animal
stage of mankind. It is more probable that the actual historical-economical
conditions and level of development of peoples and geographical areas
determined whether languages broke up into sublanguages, or several languages
merged, or they lived side by side undisturbed. These processes could have
alternated.
We do not intend to evaluate these theories, since we
possess more reliable evidence than such armchair speculation. The relationship
between Székely runes and American Indian and Mas d'Azil signs throw new light
upon, and indicate an earlier period for, “conditions for the development of
effective communications.” Until recently, even in the case of the great river
cultures this age was considered to be around the 7th millennium BC. By now
archaeological finds have made it clear that the first civilizations developed
not along the valleys of great rivers, but among the surrounding mountains,
thousands of years earlier.
Myths which are known all around the world and which
list the deeds of the heroes of great cultures that emerged after the Flood
(following the Ice Age) do not fit into the narrow time limit set by Róna-Tas
András and other authors. The myths prove that significant cultural heritage
linked various groups of mankind well before the imagined “conditions for the
development of effective communications.” As early as 12000 BC that link could
include at least a few myths, technological knowledge and the pentatonic scale
(see note 66.) as well as the possession of words, and a symbolic sign system.
These could constitute similar systems only if they had a common source of
origin. This central source proves to be around

These migrations and the series of cultural effects
are the basis of coincidences in the mythology, sign system and language (cf.
Hungarian írás “writing” and Latin juris “law”), which can be detected
between even fairly remote language families, and which often drive to despair
those linguists who try to model the relations between languages by
tree-structures.

According to Chinese tradition, the Chinese acquired
their first characters around 2800 or 2700 BC. Chinese historians several
centuries before the birth of Christ claimed that the Huns (“wise rulers of old
times”) introduced the Chinese to the achievements of civilization. Indeed,
writing that have parallels to Székely runes, occur on archaeological finds
from the Xia dynasty, which was related to the Huns (2000 - 1600 BC).[5]
Around 1500 BC they had a writing system of 2500 signs.

The Hittite Empire, largely inhabited by Hattians and
Hurrians, collapsed around 1200 BC under the onslaught of the sea peoples; the
last Hittite kingdom was destroyed by Sargon II. in 717. The Scythians appeared
on the steppe around that period. According to Mészáros Gyula they were the
descendants of the Hattians, migrating to the North (Mészáros/1938). As they
came from the same homeland near

According to the anthropologist Tóth Tibor, the Hungarians'
anthropological features developed about 1200-800 BC, as a result of the
Scythians’ and Andronovo people’s mingling. The two related peoples left the
same homeland in different times and different directions. Their partly
dissimilar histories could have resulted in changes in body, in culture, and
perhaps in writing. The Steppe’s tendency to unify seems to have reduced or
abolished these differences.

[4] Even if the Hurrians were cannot be
identified with the Hungarians, a part of their mythology, language, and sign
system must have been inherited from the Hungarians’ ancestors. For example,
their name means harcos
"warrior" and is genetically connected to the Hungarian words úr "lord,” harcos "warrior" and árja
"Arian.” According to most experts, the Hurrians' other name is Sabir. And
according to Constantinus Porphyrogenitus, in the form of savartü asfalü, this is the old name for the Hungarians.
Kumarbi,
the overthrown Hurrian god, created a demon from rock: "What name should I
give to this boy?... he burst out of the body of a rock ... may he be Ullikumi
... let him go up to the sky ... and occupy it ... let him throw all gods out
of Heaven and ... break them all." (Haas/1982/149-151.). The name of the
rock-bodied boy means "Élõ kõ me(zõ)" (living rock field) in
Hungarian.

are identical with a Székely character, and a further 3 have similar shape
(Varga/19936155).
