Interesting from a Biblical mythology point of view.  Strange how the
"kurgan fact" parallels "medieval myth".  In modern times, Arthur
Koestler also tried similarly to connect Ashkenazi Jews to the
medieval Jewish Khazar Khanate.
 
Tried to connect?  It's my understanding that the Khazarian influx, mixing with Sephardim originating from the west, has been proven by genetic testing. The Khazars, from my reading, were quite fair.
