МУРАД АДЖИ. Официальный сайт. | Главная страница. This is the site of the writer and historian Murad Adji whom you know by the books on history and culture of the Turkic world and the Great Steppe. His books “Wormwood of the Polovets Field” and “Europa's Asia” evoked wide response: people were either mocking without reasons or were really delighted. “The Kipchaks” and “The Kipchaks and the Oguz” which followed quickly became a “bibliographical rarity”.

Turkey and India: Fathers of Civilization. Viewzone.com Gene Matlock: The India, Turkey, Mexico Connection Introducion Editor's Note: For almost ten years, Viewzone has been proud to introduce readers to the exceptional and often controversial work of Gene Matlock.

Gene has been credited with, almost single handedly, focusing historians and archaeoligists on the cultural similarities between the indigenous people of Mexico, past and present, and the ancient cultures of India and Turkey. Gene examines common words in use by everyday people, their cultural traditions and even their religious beliefs and "gods" to make an exhaustive comparison that must make even the most skeptical historian pause and re-examine history.

His intelligently written articles have been the topic of hundreds of on-line "blogs" and of classroom discussions in universities and livingrooms all over the globe. Gene is the author of numerous books on this topic and presents some of his most provacative theories for the readers of Viewzone.

During the course of his third journey, Columbus came into contact with 'Maya' people. Many theories have been advanced by scholars to explain the origins of these American Indians and if there were any links between the ancient civilizations of the Old World and the New World.

What The Ancients Did For Us: The Indians. India is one of the oldest and richest civilizations in the world. It is home to the world's first planned cities, where every house had its own bathroom and toilet five thousand years ago. The Ancient Indians have not only given us yoga, meditation and complementary medicines, but they have furthered our knowledge of science, maths - and invented Chaturanga, which became the game of chess. According to Albert Einstein, they "taught us how to count", as they invented the numbers 1-9 and 'zero', without which there would be no computers or digital age.
