Runes are an alphabet used by the early Germanic people, and the Futhark is the name given to a very similar - almost identical - writing system that was given to the writing system employed by the writers of the Orkhun Monument. For some reason, European scholars are reluctant to admit that the two writing systems are extremely similar beyond coincidence and that Germanic and Turkic peoples may have had contacts way earlier than commonly accepted by mainstream history. Both gropus have been portrayed as barbarous, and is commonly assumed that writing didn´t exist among these people prior to Romans passing on the Roman alphabet that they got themselves from the Etruscans, who got it from the Greeks, who, inturn, got it from the Phoencians. The reason why not many records exist today of the Futhark and the Runes is simply because this alphabet was often carved on wood, which has a tendency to disintegrate over the years. However, it is remarkable that both writing systems are very similar to Semitic writing in the sense that they tend to omit vowels.
Could the so-called barbaric Eurasian tribes be literate before their interactions with the Roman Empire? Could they also share more cultural roots than commonly agreed on by the orthodox academia?

Yes and it´s because it was difficult to write any letter on the stone and they wanted to save some effort (and time probably). But there were cases where wovels needed to be carved on the stone to prevent ambiguities.
For example:
Karýþýklýk & kýrýþýklýk

Why Runes versus Futhark?Aren´t they one and the same?The only difference is terminology used and dissimilar interpretation of a writing system.Runes mean secret meaning while Futhark is the name given due to first six glyphs of that alphabet.
No matter what is the name it is extremely interesting how it spread and how much cultures have in common.

Incredible thing that Runic glyphs from different places in Europe can have the same meaning in Gokturkce...world of languages is amazing!

What is stunning is that most European scholars do not admit the similarities or ackowledge that there must have been a connection. It is funny how a bunch of scandinavians stormed off to central asia in the hopes of proving that the orkhun monuments had been carved by early germanic people and were dissapointed when it turned out to be outrigh turkish.

I have learned something new.
There is a cave in Trabzon in Turkey.
The name of the cave is Akyazý cave. There were pictures and writtings on the wall of the cave. The archeologists have tried to read these inscriptions by greek, persians, hitit and other old languages. But they can not achieve to read.
But these writtings could be read by old Turkish. Noone has tried to read by turkish before. The date of these writings is 10.000 B.C. They are 12000 years old. The picture in cave shows a Mehter Team. Drum, etc.
Another thing is the resemblance between Etrucians and Turkish genetics. and their languages.

As for genetics, we read it everywhere but as for language similarity, it´s contoversial subject. We have limited knowledge about Etruscan language and everybody claims their languages are related to Etruscan language. Personally I belive there is some similarity between Turkish and Etuscan but nobody except for Turks themselves accepts it.

some researchers really do
ScienceDaily (June 18, 2007) — The long-running controversy about the origins of the Etruscan people appears to be very close to being settled once and for all, a geneticist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics today. Professor Alberto Piazza, from the University of Turin, Italy, will say that there is overwhelming evidence that the Etruscans, whose brilliant civilization flourished 3000 years ago in what is now Tuscany, were settlers from old Anatolia (now in southern Turkey).
