Even Native Americans are Turks!

From where did you draw that?

I would tell you a secret: the history of the Kipchaks / Kimaks and, in general, the history of the Turks of the 5-8 centuries on these territories is more a historical reconstruction based on very scarce, sometimes incorrect sources, than a real history.
This is Terra Incognita at that times.
I do not want to make the history of the Kipchaks more ancient, but it seems to me that this is a vicious logic: Kipchaks appeared when they were first mentioned by foreign sources. This is equivalent to the fact that the Australian aborigens did not exist until the British colonialists saw them.

I get your point, but I didn't claim that the Kipchaks didn't exist before the 8th century, but that they were mentioned for the first time in the 8th century, and if a Roman saw them, he would have mentioned them somewhere... So they were not in Anatolia until the 8th century, because the Romans were still there at that time, and they have recorded scores of people very far away from Roman territory.

Nevertheless, Turkic peoples are possibly the only documented sculptors of these stellas.
Reliable ethnic / linguistic attribution of more earlier sculptors of such stellas is missing.

What is mostly missing of these stellas is a proper dating technique. Stone cannot be carbon dated...

Exactly, and that's why 1 million canine borrowings in European languages exist. TIME MACHINE? Nobody believes your conspiracy theories. Swallow the genetic results, mongrel.

Are you sure there is only 1 million borrowings from canine howlings into European languages? I thought that it was something like 1 trillion howlings, and that the Europeans do nothing than howl all day long...
