My best regards

Hi Tim,
Of course I remember you! I saw Achim and Fabian in Germany at the Damascus Steel conference a few years ago. I was wondering why you weren't there! Might get over to Belgium this summer for a few days.

Hi Jim,
I have been lurking around the website but teaching was taking the place of research...but now back to research. I now have a book contract in hand for my crucible steel book so writing up is paramount now!

The history of the Khazars and the peopling of that whole area is complex. I'll see how much I can learn!

Hi Ann,
I very much doubt that I can help, but which time frame are you looking for?
Funny, they seem to have been using the Hungarian Runic Alphabet in the earlier times.

Very astutely observed Jens!!!
Apparantly the Khazars were not only allied with the Magyars but largely in control of these tribes at the height of thier power, with both Khazars and Hungarians founding the famed city of Kiev.

All the best,
Jim
