Ancient Migrations to the East Human History is the History of Migration. Each era carries out its own migration. Migration movements and migration policies are deeply influenced by their historical predecessors. In ancient times, migration routes were from West to East, but today it is the opposite. Historically, migration flows to Sumer, Aegean-Sea Peoples Migration, Ancient and Medieval Migrations, then Colonialism and Transatlantic Slavery Trade and Migrations, Capitalist Imperialist Era Labor Migrations, and today's migration raids... Yes, migration flows: unstoppable. immigration flows. Homogeneous multicultural society < migration wave < different culture < change (simile, change) < new culture and new history... This is one of the unalterable consequences of history. History cannot be played with. History is the History of immigration. Guest workers of recent history live as permanent immigrants today. But this did not come easily. Migrations have led to terrifying destructiveness as well as revolutionary and innovative results. The Middle East, Anatolia, Europe, especially the Eastern Mediterranean Peoples were shaped as a result of migration routes. The USA is a state that was formed and established as a result of waves of immigration. While China and India were forming under the immigration invasions, they tried to give a homogeneous image as a product of the new history, but unfortunately, they could not get rid of the category of countries that gave the most immigrants. Also, former immigrants who arrived in Australia 100 years ago in the 1930s became anti-immigrants and ruled Australia by breaking and chopping new immigrants. The European Industry or Industry is entirely composed of the combination of brutal capitalist capital accumulation and migrant labor force accumulated in the colonies by force and oppression. In this sense, it is important to talk about the MIGRATIONS IN THE COLONIAL PERIOD. But let's take a brief look at the Ancient Migrations first. When we say ancient migration, we are not talking about a first migration. We mean written migrations. In this regard, the Sumerian inscriptions are the first. The Sumerians say they came from the cedar forests behind the seven mountains. What is meant by this is the cedar forests of the northern region towards the source of the two rivers. It is the homeland of the first mother goddess Humbaba. In this sense, the Sumerian City-States, which were established in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, opened trade routes to Elam, Anatolia, Egypt, India, the Eastern Mediterranean, and even within the Semitic peoples-tribes as a requirement of civilization. . However, after a while, Semitic migrations began to Sumer, a high way of life. Although Sumer met them behind the city walls, over the years the immigrants working in Sumer's agriculture, military and service fields formed separate communities outside the city-states and organized as the Semitic Akkadians and seized power by shooting the Sumerians in the back while they were fighting another state. This is how the Akkadians were formed and gave the Sumerian civilization their own color. They made their god (Anu) deities. In Sumer, they brought an understanding that put an end to the Mother-Goddess era and put women in the background. The Mother Goddess was left with only one woman. They called their god ILU, that is, the most powerful Ilah (El ilah). However, the ongoing migration flows also destroyed the Akkadians. And the Gutian rule began. Babylon, Assyria, Kassites, Huris migrated there and became the rulers of that area. When the Anatolian Etiliks and principalities plundered Babylon, the immigrant Kassites came to power and dominated their own immigration policies and cultures. The Babylonian-Chaldean state, on the other hand, displaced Jerusalem under its rule and forced the Jews to migrate to the East. The Persian-Persian King Darius helped them by saying that the 12 tribes are relatives for the Jews, he captured Babylon and the Jews returned to their homeland after 87 years of exile. On the other hand, when the Babylonian god Marduk could not prevent the invasion of the Persians, his divine foundation collapsed, and the two thousand-year-old world's most powerful god thus took his place in the dustbin of history. When the Persians entered Athens, this time the divine foundation of Zeus, the powerful god of the Aegean, collapsed and the god-religion in Greece was replaced by the philosophical idealism established by Plato, the abstract god 'Absolute Idea'. The second important migration to the East; Sea Peoples Migration. In the 1200s BC, the earth was shaken, blended and sprouted again with an invasion, almost as if it had been re-formed. This effect lasted for 400 years, and not a single piece of writing or a scrap of information was left behind. Abcak Luwian studies reveal new information about what happened in these 4 centuries (1200-800 BC). In this period, Lycia, which was ruled by democracy, and Troy and other Luwian regions were receiving intense immigration. The deteriorating economy prompted them to establish a naval fleet. The naval fleet targeted Egypt and the Hittites (Anatolian Etiliks), a great war began. Hittites were destroyed (1190 BC). Egypt lost half of its geography, but recovered early and made peace with the immigrants. The Eastern Mediterranean fell into the hands of the Immigrants. What had actually happened? In reality, the world was suffering from famine. There was massive immigration. The Dorians had suppressed and pushed the Mycenaeans, the Ancient Greek Achaeans, from the north. Again, the Illyrians had migrated to Italy with a mass influx from the north, and they had replaced the Etruscans. The ancient peoples were armed, there was no state in Europe at that time to disarm them. When the Achaeans and Etruscans pushed other peoples, the ground moved and a mass migration flow occurred. This raid destroyed the Hittites, Luwis, Phoenicians and Babylon. He left Assyria and Egypt in name only. There is no important state left in the world. This took 400 years. In this period, Moses' exit or migration to Egypt, which the Torah mentions, coincides with the same years. Certain Jews are also from the sea peoples. It was understood that the Palestinians migrated from Troy to Palestine during this period. There has never been a darker period than this sea peoples migration. The writing event under this invasion did not happen. Egyptian inscriptions tell who these invading nomads were: They were terrible creatures, they had bull-headed and so on. The Luwians, on the other hand, write in their inscriptions that they were pushed by others and that they crushed and destroyed the Hittites. Then we understand that the Luwians fled to Northern Syria. The Hittites withdrew to that region. Those who came with the sea tribes still maintain their most settled state in the Maraş region. It is necessary to emphasize the migration of sea peoples. Another of these migrations is the founding migration of Istanbul: A group of Megarians, whose chief is Byzantium, one day goes to the astrologer, the future seer of their tribe, and consults that these lands are not enough for them and what to do to find new lands. A wise dove, in his underpants, flies into the sky and comes back, wandering the earth, and says to Byzantium, 'dwell where the blind do not see'. Immigrants set off by ship to find a new home under the leadership of Byzantion and come to today's Kadıköy-Kalkedon. The Chalcedonians welcome and welcome them. At one point, one of them pointed to the other side: “Why did they settle in Chalcedon when there was such a beautiful place? Are they blind?" said. Hearing this, the chief says to the immigrants: "Get up, we are going" and they come to the opposite shore, that is, today's Sultan Ahmet, which the blind cannot see, and settle on the first hill of Istanbul. These words appear in the records of the researcher-historian Herodotus and the Latin historian Tajikus. The first name of Kadıköy was the Land of the Blind because of this event. Istanbul, on the other hand, takes the name of the chief of the Megarian immigrants: Byzantium. In 'Chalcedon', BC by the Megarians. It was founded in 675. The Megarians did not engage in trade. Religion was their source of glory and fame. After converting to Christianity, he continued to earn his income and fame through religion. It has always been the center of religious debate. Their wealth was the land they had just migrated to. The most popular migration phenomenon among the ancient migrations is the slave migration. Those who became slaves due to various reasons such as not being able to pay their debts on time, did not want to stay where they were slaves when this slavery ended, and they migrated to unfamiliar settlements and tried to establish a new life there.
