Did The Khazars Convert To Judaism? - Shaul Stampfer

Did The Khazars Convert To Judaism? - Shaul Stampfer (PDF) https://odysee.com/@coronamirror:d/did-the-khazars-convert-to-judaism-shaul-stampfer:d The view that some or all of the Khazars, a central Asian people, converted to Judaism at some point during the ninth or tenth century is widely accepted. A careful examination of the sources, however, shows that some of them are pseudepigraphic, and the rest are of questionable reliability. Many of the most reliable contemporary texts that mention Khazars say nothing about their conversion, nor is there any archaeological evidence for it. This leads to the conclusion that such a conversion never took place. Most of the reports we have on the Khazar conversion come from works of descriptive geographical literature written by Iraqi and Iranian scholars who are generally classified as belonging to one of two schools—one often identified as the Jayhani tradition, after the author of a no-longer extant geography that was heavily cited by the scholars of this school, and the other known as the al-Balkhi school, after its founder, which had a strong Iranian element and saw Mecca as its center. The works of these writers combined novel contributions with large parts of the works of their predecessors.
