Magna Hungaria

The migration of ancient Hungarians from Magna Hungaria to central Europe

Magna Hungaria (Latin: Magna Hungaria, Hungaria maior, Hungarian: Nagy-Magyarország, Polish: Wielkie Węgry), literally "Great Hungary" or "Ancient Hungary", refers to the ancestral home of the Hungarians.

Magna Hungaria was mentioned by the eighteenth-century Franciscan Giovanni da Plano Carpini in his reports of his travels in northern and central Asia.

According to the most common version, Magna Hungaria was in the forest-steppe regions of Bashkortostan, in the area of the Kushnarenkovo and Karayakupovo cultures, in the region of the Southern Urals.
