Who are the Uyghurs? Where do they come from? In this in-depth historical exploration, we trace the complex and fascinating formation of the modern Uyghur people—from the ancient steppes of Central Asia to the oases of the Tarim Basin.

📜 Discover how the ancient Uyghurs emerged through the blending of Hunnic and Tocharian elements, how they formed powerful khaganates with Karluks, Basmils, and Tokuz Oghuz, and how later waves of Saka, Mongol, and Persian influences shaped their identity.

🕌 Learn how the Uyghur language and Islamic faith became the core of a new civilization, even as their lands were known as "Moghulistan"—the "Land of Mongols." Despite the name, the population remained culturally and linguistically Uyghur-speaking Turks, as recorded by prominent historians like Musa Sayrami.

🌍 Featuring references to Song dynasty accounts, the Mongol conquests, and the lasting cultural legacies of the Karakhanids, this video reveals how a rich tapestry of tribes and empires came together to form what we now call the Uyghur nation.
