  • How the Ashina came by the craft is not recorded.
  • The sources of the Göktürk age report no salt-working at all.
  • The geologist who describes it gives no date for the first quarrying.
  • The text does not say whether a lake in the tribe's country gave it the name.
  • No source names a salt mine of the Ashina, or any other salt-working of theirs, in the sixth century.
  • These notices name furs as gifts, tribute and tax, and none of them describes a trade in furs between the Göktürks and a buyer.
  • No runiform inscription of the khaganates names a tree, a world axis, or a climb between worlds.
  • The inscriptions the Göktürks cut for themselves never mention it.
  • No runiform inscription of the khaganates names the specialist.

Issyk inscriptionMÖ 500Kaynaklar

  • The studies give these dates without the evidence for them.
  • The studies used here give no reading of the text. The study that calls the signs runiform names no reader of them. The study that calls them Iranian reads neither the cup nor the stone of Dasht-i Navur in Afghanistan, which it sets beside it.
  • No runiform text has been securely dated to the First Khaganate.
  • No dated text in a transitional alphabet joins the two. In the debate on the origin of the letters, a text of that kind would decide the matter, and none is known.
  • The dates of the cup differ between the studies, and none of them shows what the date rests on.

BerelMÖ 350Yerler

  • No report ties the Göktürk-period graves of Berel to the Ashina or to any named person.

CamelsMÖ 300Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The Chinese words do not say whether an animal had one hump or two, and the sources of this article do not settle it.
  • The Hudud al-Alam names no camel in the wealth of any of the Turkic peoples it lists.
  • The sources give no price for a camel and no size for a camel herd of a steppe people.

DonghuMÖ 300Halklar

  • The Shiji does not date Qin Kai's campaign.
  • All three claims come from histories written long after the event. The Shiji, which tells the war itself, names neither the Wuhuan nor the Xianbei.
  • Donghu is Chinese for the Hu of the east. The sources give no name the people used for themselves and no word of their language.

SheepMÖ 300Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The Chinese word yang may cover goats as well, and the texts do not separate the two.
  • The sources do not give the weight or the price of a sheep. They do not say how the wool was used outside the felt tent.

Xiongnu HerdsMÖ 300Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The three last names belong to rare equids, and their exact identity is not certain.

Army of the Steppe EmpiresMÖ 209Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The Shiji does not call this count a muster of the army.
  • The histories give the guard neither a number nor a commander.
  • The inscriptions mention no guard.
  • The histories do not say how the two figures were obtained.
  • No source gives a table of organisation for a Göktürk army. The Xiongnu have a decimal order, the Göktürks have offices, wings and arrows, and the Uyghurs have tribes with governors. No source names a Göktürk unit below the wing, a rule of precedence in the line or a regular size for a command.

The Göktürks and the XiongnuMÖ 209Tartışmalar

  • Both calendars hold a sacrifice in the fifth month, and both join Heaven with the forebears. The first-month gathering and the autumn count of the Xiongnu have no Göktürk counterpart in the sources.
  • They contain no Göktürk statement of descent. None of the Chinese texts names the Xiongnu house or lineage from which the Ashina came.

Warfare of the Steppe EmpiresMÖ 209Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • Neither text gives a reason.
  • The Kül Tegin and Tonyukuk inscriptions name no feigned retreat.
  • No source says that the Göktürks used it as a signal.
  • No source gives a drill, a system of signals, an order of march or the supply of an army on the march. The inscriptions tell of speed, night marches and attacks on sleepers, and say nothing of formations. For the line of battle the Strategikon is the only witness, and it describes Scythians in general.

Xiongnu AgricultureMÖ 209Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The sources do not say how much grain the Xiongnu grew, or how much of their food it supplied.

YuezhiMÖ 209Halklar

  • The sources do not say whether Chinese founders worked in the steppe.

Captives and the UnfreeMÖ 200Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • Raids and wars of the steppe empires carried people away. Some were ransomed, some exchanged, some kept at the court of the captor, and some sold. The sources describe the taking, the ransom, the flight and the sale. They do not give the number of the unfree among the Göktürks or any rule that governed them, and no source describes a law of slavery.
  • Whether it had to do with enslaved people is not known.
  • These sources are of the tenth and eleventh centuries. They describe the markets of the Islamic world and its neighbours, and they do not show whether the Göktürks or the Uyghurs sold people in the same way.
  • How large a part of the economy they carried is not known.

Craftsmen in the Steppe EmpiresMÖ 200Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The finds do not show whether the lacquered cups of the graves were gifts of the court or goods that were traded.

Seasonal PasturesMÖ 200Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The sources do not give the routes of the moves or the dates on which a people left a pasture.
  • They name the seasons and the places of a few courts. They do not say whether the khaganates of the Orkhon moved their herds along fixed stages.

Wood and WoodworkingMÖ 200Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • Wood was scarce in much of the steppe and was worked all the same. The sources name timber for building, planks for coffins, gilded pillars at a court, wooden cups and figures, and woods that were traded. They name no carpenter and no wood-carver.
  • The text does not say what trees the two woods came from.
  • The sources say nothing about how the wooden planks, pillars and vessels were cut and joined, or whether the steppe peoples had carpenters of their own. The one trade term that survives is the carpenter's axe of the eleventh century.

Xiongnu PotteryMÖ 200Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The sources do not name a Xiongnu potter, a pottery workshop or a kiln, and no kiln of the Xiongnu is described in the studies used here.

  • The Han Shu tells of no campaign in this reign.

Han Reply to the Northern Xiongnu (AD 52)52Muharebeler ve olaylarkısa

Yueban91Halklar

  • None of the passages in which the Sui and Tang histories tell of Göktürk hunting describes how the game was taken.

Bride-Price in Livestock400Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The Chinese records give the figure only where a ruler or a prince married. The price of an ordinary marriage appears without a number.

Khan (Khagan)400Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • Modern literature commonly styles him yabgu for those years, which is plausible given the rank the Ashina leaders are said to have held, but the sources do not use it of him.

Ötüken400Yerler

  • The Zhou Shu has none of those details. It names no month and no place for the cave. The five hundred li belong to the mountain of the earth-spirit.
  • No text sends anyone east.
  • Where the cave was is unknown. The inscriptions never mention it. What was done there beyond the sacrifice, the Chinese did not learn.
  • The book says nothing of the place itself.

The origin of the Old Turkic script400Tartışmalar

Mumocheng502Yerler

  • Archaeology has not found the site, and its location is not identified.

Bumin Khan510Kişiler

  • Circumstances of death: not recorded
  • For the years before the war, he appears without a title. Modern history books give Bumin the title yabghu. This is plausible, given the rank of earlier Ashina leaders such as his father Tuwu. The sources, however, do not use the word of him.
  • The sources do not say how that support was obtained or which groups joined.
  • The Chinese histories record no such cup.
  • The manner and month of his death are not recorded.

  • The biography does not describe the stations.

The Turkic War of Independence546Savaşlar

  • The Zhou Shu names Bumin alone as the leader of the war. What Istemi did in these years is not recorded.
  • The sources say nothing for four years. Bumin spent them assembling support among other Turkic groups. This is an inference from the size of the force he commanded in 552. How that support was obtained, and which groups joined, is not recorded.

Sabao549Kurumlar ve Unvanlar

  • The sources describe the religious role of the sabao better than the commercial one. They do not show the sabao leading a caravan.

Istemi576Kişiler

  • Nothing is recorded of Istemi's life before 552.
  • The Zhou Shu, the history of the Northern Zhou dynasty, names Bumin alone as the leader of the War of Independence. What Istemi did between 546 and 552 is not recorded.

  • Where the two kings came to terms, and through whom, is not recorded.
  • The manner of his death is not recorded.
