    Like anyone even seriously proposing that theory today? Those are PDX forum morons just take the Secret History telling us he was a redhead and then go straight for their “everyone was a Tocharian” usual nonsense.

      racists always be. but i really like that guy, mans so good. a video that could’ve been 30 seconds of “no” is a detailed study of all available sources extremely proving the obvious beyond any shadow of doubt. i appreciate.

      tocharians are a real bullshit thing named after a pretty discrete area in the tarim basin but some 19th century euro guy who associated them with references to tokharistan (several hundred kms south and over a mountain range) has stuck in the nomenclature without any academic support for it
