thought provoking, Arthur Koestler thesis: the Thirteenth Tribe (1976) is a book by Arthur Koestler, which advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people... in the book, Koestler advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people originating in and populating an empire north of and between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Koestlers hypothesis is that the Khazars - who converted to Judaism in the 8th century - migrated westwards into current Eastern Europe (primarily Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary and Germany) in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing.. ................ in late 2012 a review of DNA evidence published by the journal Genome Biology and Evolution supported the thesis that present-day Jews are, according to geneticist Eran Elhaik, primarily the children of a Turkish people who lived in what is now Russia, north of Georgia, east of Ukraine ... the Khazars.
