A View of Chufut-Kale, Crimea
This Web site is dedicated to the history and culture of Crimean Karaims
Here you will find a fascinating history of Karaims or Karailar (sing. Karai), their language, culture, and heroic struggle to survive.
Crimean Karaims are people of Turk(ic) descent who have adopted Karaism.
This movement could be described as a return to the roots or sola scriptura.
Although the Karaite reformation never became a mass
movement, an ethnic mixture of Alans, Cumans and a number of Turkic
Kipchak tribes in Crimea and northern steppes of Black Sea, as well as
the ruling junta of Khazaria (not all the Khazars) converted to Karaism.
These people became known as Karaims, thus combining the religious
denomination with ethnonym. The following pages are about the native people of Crimea,
their ancestors, the Khazars, and the areas they settled.
Religion has played an important part in forming the Karaim people.
In the 8th century, Karaism was initiated by Anan ben David in
Mesopotamia. From the 8th to the 10th centuries, the Karaims were
subjected to the rule of Khazar Kagan. It is recorded in the 13th
century that the Karaim congregation practised in Solkhat, the capital
city of the Crimean Tatars. Karaism is Mosaism, an independent, non sectarian, monotheistic
religion of Abraham. Anan Ben David, the founder of the actual Karaite religion,
preached about a return to the written word of the Old Testament. He
refused to recognize the Talmudic thought. This religion is distinct from
Rabbinical Judaism.
Khazars and Karaims
Prince Bulan, the ruling Khagan of the Turkish Khazar Empire (not the whole Khazar
population) was converted to Karaism by Isaac Sangari,
whose grave is in the Karaim cemetery, Balti timez, in Josophate valley
of Chufut-Kale (Qirq Yer) in Bakhchisarai, Crimea.
There is another supposition that the conversion of local inhabitants of
Crimea to Karaism occurred not in Khazar times, but later, during or
after the Mongol rule, under the influence of the newcomers from
Byzantium. This could explain the Turkish language of the local
Karaites, their Tatar appearance and way of life, and the political
independence of the Karaites of Chufut-Kale. However, the genetic studies, point to their Khazar origin.
Today Turkic Karaims are nearly all from Crimea. Over the years, they moved
and settled in Lithuania, Poland, other parts of Ukraine, Russia,
Turkey, Israel, France, and the United States. It is assumed that
the number of Karaims in the world is less than 5,000 today.
