Unsolved:Kingdom of Balkhara

From HandWiki
Balhara according to Acad. Suren T. Eremian's reconstruction of the original map of Central Asia from the Armenian geographical atlas 'Ashharatsuyts'

Kingdom of Balkhara is the subject of a fringe theory[1] on the originating homeland of the Bulgar people. It is popularised by some Bulgarian historians (for example: Georgi Bakalov, Petar Dobrev, Ian Mladjov) to have been the earliest known state[2][unreliable source?][3][unreliable source?] of the Bulgars, situated in the upper course of Oxus River (present Amu Darya), and the foothills and valleys of Hindu Kush and Pamir Mountains (ancient Mount Imeon).[4][unreliable source?] Peter Dobrev places the date of the kingdom around the 12th century BC.[5][page needed]

The theory is based on the presumed relationship between the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex and the Bulgars.
