In popular discourse, Hungary, in 1956 was visited by a mysterious people from abroad. Where did they come from? Who were they? Some thought they were the infamous ''Asiatic hordes'' from Western mythology, that show up in history every now and then to sow chaos in the garden; others thought they were like the ''Sea Peoples'' of legend, that crushed the Egyptian Empire, and many thought they came from the jungle, because they knew these people were not relatively European, nor relatively civilized. The British papers at the time noted that these people came riding in armored cars called ''tanks'', which had apparently not been seen since WW2, and from lack of imagination and relying on western sources, they began to call them ''tankies''.
