September, 1983 THE EIGHTH HUNGARIAN TRIBE Page 11 Fatherland, the land where the Hungarian type of nations have come into being. 1. The presence of an agriculturist Magyar speaking population in the Ancient Near-East can be traced back in all the three river basins by the place-, ethnic and personal names, the former inhabitants of the area had used, and which in­clude basic Magyar words, like Ur and Magyar.TM In the Euphrates valley, to begin with it, the most typical such place-name was that of the City of Ur, whose ruins are called even today Mugheir (= Magyar), and which had a Maguerre (= Ma­gyar) ruler. Not far from that city was located Eridu, the oldest settlement of the whole Land. Its Hungarian etymology (<H.: Ur-i Tó) discloses, that it was built on the shore of a lake, the Present Persian Gulf. Today, the city is far from the Gulf, but in the Illrd millenium B.C. it still stood on the shore, the filling-up of the Euphrates delta with alluvial deposits having not yet been in an advanced stage. A third important Mesopotamian city with clear Hungarian name was Nippur (= H.: Nap-Ur), the ‘City of the Sungod’. We know from other sources, that Nippur was the most impor­tant religious centre for the Sun-cult in Mesopotamia for over a thousand years; a fact which warrants the accuracy of our etymology. Other Mesopota­mian place-names, with a striking Hungarian meaning were Sam-Ar-Ra (< H.: Szem-Ur) ‘Resi­dence of the Eye-God’, a variant of Sungod; Mat- Ar-Ra ‘The City placed under the protection of the Farmers’ God’, and Assour (<H.: A Só Ura) ‘City of the Ruler of the Sand’. Apart of the above place-names, the geographic term Burattu de­serves special mention. Its rootword is Bor, which is ancient Hungarian for ‘Water, River’, by which the Euphrates was meant. And the form Burattu is the rootword Bor enlarged with two suffixes, thus; Bor-át-i, to mean ‘Land (or People) Beyond the River’. This name has taken up manifold phonetical forms later on, like Berut, Beyrout, Barat, Brit, etc., and it surfaced at numerous places which the Mesopotamians colonized in sub­sequent times (see map showing the diffusion of the Burattu-name in P 132 after p. 420). In Syria, Canaan and Anatolia, which were under Mesopo­tamian cultural and political influence for a long time, the most important Magyar city-names were: Árpád, on the great bend of the River, about which more will be said later, and Karkemish and Damask. The correct transliteration of the Egyp­tian hieroglyphs giving the names of Karkemish and Damask is : Karika-Mása and Dáma-Széke, meaning -according to the Hungarian key- ‘Depu­ty of the Circular Divinity’ (Sungod), and ‘Resi­dence of the Divine Lady’ respectively. In the second great Oriental river valley, that of the Nile, the two Magyar testwords Ur and Magyar again occur frequently. Ur is included in the name of about a hundred divinities, as anybody may notice it when opening the book of Wallice Budge, The gods of the Egyptians (P 026II Index). The same word reappears in other combinations as well, like in Horus (< H.: Ur-ös) ‘Divine Ances­tor’, which was the regular title of the reigning Egyptian king. Another of his titles was Makar, the Egyptian form of Magyar. Contemporary rec­ords speak of a Makari Queen, of the XXth Dynasty (c. 1080-940 B. C.), who tragically died in childbirth at an early age. It is also recorded that during the reign of King Zoser (<H.: As ös Ur) ‘The Divine Ancestor', a certain Madir ( = Magyar) was the governor of the Elephant City. The very name of Egypt was at that time, as it continues to be even today, ‘The Land of Misir’ (= Magyar). Finally, near the Red Sea, in Eritrea, at the site called Matara, a Magyar lan­guage inscription has been found, and deciphered by the author. In the third great Oriental river valley, that of the Indus, the two Magyar testwords come up also 16. Most of the Oriental place - and ethnic names with a Hungarian meaning have been collected from the fol­lowing five publications: P 013; P 021; P 024; P 044; and P 085. Some others were found in the works of Herodotus, Dauzat, Uxbond, Saks, etc. Fig. 3. The great l iver-valleys of the Ancient ixear East
