While we are in preparation for our next projects, we have decided to publish a preview for the audiobook of "The Göktürks: Origins, Religion and Rapid Rise of the First Turkic Empire". This is a historical book released by Emre-E. Yavuz, founder of Khan's Den, nearly a year ago. While the audiobook is still in production, we'd like to present you its very first chapter. Who were these "Celestial Turks" anyway? Who were Bumin and Istemi? And were they related to the Xiongnu Huns? Take a listen!
