The Lord and People of the Csengele Cumans
The Cumans (“kunok” in Hungarian) were a Turkic speaking people who entered the grassland of Southern Russia in the middle of the 11th century and remained the masters of the territory for a hundred and fifty years.
To avoid complete and final eradication during the Mongol Invasion, the Cumans sought asylum in Hungary. The exhibit gives a brief overview of Cuman history from pagan nomadic past to Christian Hungarian future. During preparation for construction of M5 motorway, in 1998, excavations near the medieval church of Csengele revealed the remains of a fortification constructed during the Mongol Invasion, as well as the grave of a Cuman commander: the first professionally excavated grave of a Cuman commander in Hungary. The findings and their significance are also addressed in the exhibition.
