Attila, the Huns and the Battle for Europe

- The fall of the Xiongnu Empire lead to the migration of many tribes - especially Turkic ones - away from the Altai-Transbaikal area in eastern Central Asia into the west and southwest. These tribes arrived in places like modern-day Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Kazakhstan and created new kingdoms. From the Kydarites to the Alchons and the Hepthalites ("White Huns"), these Hunnic states ruled over much of Central Asia in the migratory period from 200-560 CE, before the rise of the Göktürks, and some even went as far as India. Other post-Xiongnu states emerged along the frontier between China and the Eastern Eurasian Steppe, including the Tuoba Dynasty.
However, yet another - perhaps smaller - group migrated along the northern routes of the Eurasian Steppe Belt and arrived in the Ponto-Caspian region which connects Europe and Asia by the middle of the 4th century. Simply called "Huns", they invaded the European continent in 375 CE, slowly but steadily. Their attacks on neighboring tribes like the Goths (Germanic) and Alans (Iranic) further accelerated the migrations across all of Europe and led to the climax of the so-called "Barbarian Invasions". The Huns themselves arrived in Central Europe and founded a power center in modern-day Hungary.
Then, nearly a century after their arrival, a young and ambitious Hun called Attila took power. After killing off his brother Bleda, he ended the Hunnic system of dual kingship and - as sole leader of many tribes - started large-scale invasions of Western and Southern Europe. The Huns logically came into direct military conflict with the Western Roman Empire.
But contrary to popular belief, Huns and Romans used to be partners for a long time, cooperating against many Germanic tribes in Western and Central Europe. And unlike Western literature has suggested for several centuries, the Huns were never interested in conquering and permanently occupying places like Gaul or even Rome. Yet, Attila directly invaded the Italian peninsula, and had even planned to besiege Constantinople shortly before his death.
But why? How can the actions of the Huns be explained? Where did they come from in the first place? What language did they spoke? Did they live in yurts (tents) like their nomadic ancestors or became sedentary by building houses and creating larger settlements? And how did the fall of the Huns affect the history of Europe?
In this new documentary by Khan's Den, we are going to explore these and many other questions that have been either answered half-heartily by many scholars and historians or ignored altogether. We are also going to explain the culture of the Huns, their possible relations to Turks, Mongols and Germanic peoples, and their way of life along the western-most edge of the Eurasian Steppe Belt. Finally, we want to bring new perspectives to the history of the Huns, making way for new fresh debates about the legacy of Attila and his contemporaries. This is the Rise and Fall of the Hunnic Empire.

You are the greatest youtuber ever! I really very appreciate your unique talent on history telling. I hope always best for you...
I've heard that the Huns introduced the stir-ups to the Ancient European. It was supposed to be the reason that the Huns were able to have an edge over the Romans
@@kolfibrown6540 - Very arguable: the stirrup debate is endless, the most clear evidence seems to lead to the Avars but it may have existed earlier in Europe, nobody knows for sure, as the earliest stirrups would have just been made of perishable materials. Also it's not clear that the stirrup was such an advantage relative to Roman saddles, which were very secure. It seems that early stirrups were mer aids for less fit people to climb to the horse and may have only been placed on one side. The Hunnic advantage was surely bow and arrow, which requires intense training, rather than a relatively passive element like the stirrup... but all may help.

According the Hungarian chronicles, Attila and his troops stayed on the battle field and buried the dead enemy, and burned their own dead soldiers. After this they stopped in Rome. Pope Leo came to the gates of Rome. A short time later Attila and his troop left. So the so called barbarian didn't burn Rome like the Germans and others did before and after.

@@weekendoffender44I don't see anything wrong to be Mongolian.The Mongolian's are great people ancestors of great Genghis Khan.
@weekendoffender44 let me guess ... your Romanian.
@@accaeffe8032 There were seven Magyar tribes, but other elements were part of the federation, including three tribes of Turkic Khazars (the Kavars). Either because of this fact or perhaps because of a memory of earlier conditions, this federation was known to its neighbours as the On-Ogur (literally “Ten Arrows” or “Ten Tribes”).
@@weekendoffender44 < but that was one of the seven tribes , the onugors - on ugors . But like that , was over 107-110 on ugors tribe .of Attila , the avars just added they tribes and the magyars added , knows seven main tribes + they slaves [ slaves ] . So , just like any other main tribes , inside was many branches of tribes . The " sakas = székes -> székelys ! " .
One interesting data about the "barbaric" Attila:
In 476 the Roman empire was ended, when the last emperor, Augustus Romulus was dethroned by Odoaker, and Odoaker became the king of Italy. And who were they? Augustus Romulus was the son of the first secretary of Attila (Orestes). And Odoaker was a son of the commander of Attila's bodyguard (Edeko).
So how "barbarian" Attila could be, if his first secretary's son became later the last Roman emperor, and his bodyguard's commander's son became later the first Italian king?
Because never ending butthurt of europeans. They never come peave with the reailty of dominated by nomads of asia. Its just big black hole of their record. Last over a millenia.

Thank you for the video. You have amazingly accurately reproduced the appearance of the Huns. I am simply amazed at how accurately artificial intelligence reproduced the images of the Huns (Xiongnu). This is simply excellent. I just began to believe even more that our Chuvash ancestors were Xiongnu. I have photographs of my relatives and they are 100 percent similar to your photographs of the Huns. It is something. I'm just touched. It was as if I saw my distant relatives. The Chuvash are descendants of the Xiongnu. That's for sure. Both in language and now in appearance... I'm sure. It was they who invisibly drew your portraits of the Huns. We Chuvash even have a clan called Mushchak (Attila’s father), I found out last week. Your hand and thoughts are invisibly led in the right direction by our great ancestors - the Xiongnu. In Chuvash, man is translated as Shun. Tavtapushch sir (in Chuvash this means thank you) We have an ancient saying that if the Chuvash disappear, the world will disappear. The Huns, represented by the Chuvash, have not left the world stage of history. They, as before, will still say their word for the glory of humanity.... Tour Shchirlakh!!!
THE SON OF ATTILA Following the assassination of Attila , the great Hun warrior , the German tribes rose up in rebellion . Many bloody battles ensued , as Teutons battled Huns . In the Carpathian Mountains , the outnum bered Huns were forced to seek reinforcements . Alone , with only a small group of warriors , Csaba , the youngest son of Attila and leader of the Székely tribe , left the scene . He took a group of his greatest warriors and body guards , and fought his way out of the enemy encirclement . He then rode east to raise another army and return to their settled homeland . He made good on his promise , more than once . As time passed , legends grew up around the returning chief and his Hun warriors . Today , over campfires , as the legends are recounted , children look up to the starry milky way and see its river of stars , the Hadak útja ( Warriors Avenue ) , and know that Attila and their ancient ancestors will return with their mighty armies of courageous warriors from the stars , to protect their homeland , and the Carpathians , the heart of the empire of the Huns .

Yes, I am Szekely and our tradition holds that we are the descendants of Attila’s son, Csaba.
He wasn't assasinated. That story is the kind of thing for a fancifull bbc drama. The facts point pretty u equivocally to a natural death.
Really loved your video. You research is impeccable, storytelling is great and illustrations as superb
Many thanks for posting this Documentery!! Respect!
This is by far the best and most informative documentary about this topic I have seen. Delicious style and magnifitient illustrations. Gettin better and better. Enjoyed alot. Please more.🐎🐎🐎
One of the best I've seen. Congratulations
It was an informative and wonderful explanation of Huns history. and their's relationships to Turkik tribe's..Huns influences in India, Persians, east and west Rome empires....thank you for sharing
It is the influence of the entire northern hemisphere on the southern hemisphere, and it is the same today. Russia inherited the Huns, Turkic Mongolia and Norman Vikings, and is still whipping the southern empire like its ancestors. Russia is still a barbaric empire, but it is still so easy to deal with the richer and more civilized NATO , this is the inevitability of human habits, Russia is the modern Huns
Yes i was wondering about the history in India as well

The reason that the Türks and other Turkic nomads were formidable warriors was that they were horse-archers. A horse-archer specifically denotes a mounted warrior armed with a bow who can shoot from horseback while riding. The Turkic nomadic warriors as well as the Mongols used the composite bow, which was made of horn, wood, and sinew. The composite bow was more accurate and had a better range and rate of fire than muskets and early firearms. The tactical principles of the Turkic horse-archers were based on the combination of fire power and mobility. yhe nomadic horse-archers shot in volleys, weakening the enemy before they charged. Ideally, they practiced "fire power in movement" like modern armies.Other things being equal, the horse-archers were often almost unbeatable on the open battlefields. Against them, sedentary soldiers were often helpless until the development of efficient battlefield handguns, including the repeating firearms (the firearms that could be fired repeatedly before being manually reloaded) in the seventeenth century.
Yes, however the the staple of he Ottoman military was a well oiled disciplined light infantry, not mounted archers.
Ottomans did not used mounted archers.
Seljuk Turks did, but not the Ottomans.
The Ottomans often paired up with the Tartars who did use mounted archers, but not always.
It was not always impossible to beat horse archers though. China with extensive history of fighting nomads, realized they can simply get lots of shield and lots of crossbows. They've had crossbows way before Europe had and they were able to field large armies of crossbowmen and this countered the nomads easily. The crusaders in middle east did the same tactic by using lots of crossbows and just volley firing into horse formations who had no armor to protect against crossbows.
WHAT WAS HARD however, was that the nomads were extremely mobile and they can quickly move from one location to another without having to worry about supply chains being stretched. When the Chinese chased the Xiongnu armies deep into their territories, the Chinese armies eventually stretched themselves too thin and their flanks got harassed slowly. Chinese armies would win battles but it wasn't enough to be decisive until the Chinese themselves adopted horse archery to counter back and chase after them.

This can be surmised by analysing the names of Hunnic princes and tribes. The names of the following Hunnic princes are clearly Oghuric Turkic in origin: Mundzuk (Attila’s father, from Turkic Muncˇuq = pearl/jewel; for an in-depth discussion of the Hunnic origin of this name in particular see Schramm (1969), 139-40), Oktar/Uptar (Attila’s uncle, Öktär = brave/powerful), Oebarsius (another of Attila’s paternal uncles, Aïbârs = leopard of the moon), Karaton (Hunnic supreme king before Ruga, Qarâton = black-cloak), Basik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, early fifth century, Bârsig˘ = governor), Kursik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, from either Kürsig˘ , meaning brave or noble, or Quršiq meaning beltbearer). For these etymologies see Bona (1991), 33. Three of Attila’s known sons 40 have probable Turkic names: Ellac, Dengizich, Hernak, and Attila’s princi pal wife, the mother of the ‘crown prince’ Ellac, has the Turkic name Here kan, as does another notable wife named Eskam. See Maenchen-Helfen (1973), 392-415. See also Bona (1991), 33-5, and Pritsak (1956), 414. Most known Hunnic tribal names are also Turkic, Maenchen-Helfen (1973), 427-41, e.g. Ultincur, Akatir etc. The cur suffix in many of these names is a well-known Turkic title and as Beckwith (1987), 209, points out the To-lu or Tardus tribes (Hunnic in origin) of the Western Turkish On Oq were each headed by a Cur (noble). Zieme (2006), 115, speculates that the title cur belongs to a pre-Turkic Tocharian stratum of the Turkic language, which, if true, again highlights the essential heterogeneity of Central Asian peoples and even languages. See also Aalto (1971), 35. In addition to this primary language (Oghuric Turkic), Priscus informs us that Latin and Gothic were also understood by the Hunnic elite. See Priscus, fr. 13.3, Blockley (1983), 289.

Many historians in the world, such as Mary Beard and Ian Hughes, believe that Flavius Aetius won the battle on the “Catalan Fields”, and his victory is indicated by such facts as:
1) The failed siege of the city of Orleans by the Huns.
2) Attila’s losses in the battle were greater, which is why he and the remnants of his army retreated from Gaul, thanks to which the spoils from the battlefield went to Aetius. Which became a symbol of his victory over Attila. Prosper, Jordanes and Gregory of Tours wrote about this.
3) The Roman vassal Merovey became the king of the Franks. And not his older brother, who was a vassal of the Huns!
The voice of this narrator is amazing. What is his name please? Great video thank you

It's evident that Hunnic was an Oghur Turkic language related to Bulgar hence the concept of "Hunno-Bulgar", the Chuvash language remains the only surviving member of this archaic branch
The huns were the common ancestor of both the Turks and the Mongols.
The huns were not Turks, they were the ancestors of Turks. Big difference.
@@theanglo-lithuanian1768 Lol
wrong
Bulgars or Bolghars were probably one of the main offshoots of the Western Huns (Attila's) but there were others. They speak Turkic to this very day (Chuvash), although their Danubian relatives were Slavized from below, illustrating probably which was one of the features of Hunnic expansion: silent Slavic expansion as their vassals.
@@LuisAldamiz correct, Slavic settlement in much of the Balkans is mostly attributed to the activities of Oghuric entities like Bulgars & Avars, the depopulation of the region at the hands of the Huns also eased the whole process
Very nice documentary! In Hungary there are also some archaeological remains of the Huns such as gilded bows and Hunnic cauldrons. The name of the town of Buda comes from Attila's brother according to medieval chroniclers and a nice epic story rivalising with King Arthur's. Actually this is one of the many speculations of medieval historians recreating their past from placenames, because the name Buda comes from "oven" in Slavic and that is the meaning of the name used in medieval German also for Buda: "Ofen" (much like "oven" in English), the town being mostly inhabited by Germans in the Middle Ages, and probably founded on Slavic grounds like many other places in Hungary (example: Visegrad, meaning High Castle in Slavic). There was a strong medieval tradition of connecting the Magyars to the Huns, mainly by monks writing in their monasteries and making simplified etymological guesses as they were accustomed to in those times, guided by Isidore of Seville's Etymologicae. In the same sense, medieval French said they descended from Troy, because of prince Paris... But beyond the medieval storytellers about the Huns and Attila, we did actually have many relations with Turkish tribes and have a lot of Turcick loanwords in the Hungarian language (but also many Iranian ones and even more Slavic and German). The relation between the eastern Ural where magyars come from and the Altai is a very old one as they were directly connected by the Irtysh and the Ob rivers and these relations can alreaady be demonstrated in the Bronze Age, so there are also genetic links between Magyars and Turks going back to Prehistory and also from historical times as many Turcick tribes were actually integrated into the Hungarian kingdom, not the least the Petchenegs and the Koumans (Kipchaks).
The exonym Hungary also derives from a Hunnic sub-clan, the Onogurs, who together with the Kabars were a founding component of the Hungarian nation taking part in the Arpad led Magyar conquest of the Pannonian Basin
@@nenenindonu I doubt there's evidence the "Onogurs" were part of the Magyars. If you have some, please present it.
@@maximus3160 Moreover, it is suggested that Hungarian conquerers together with the Turkic-speaking Kabars moved in and integrated the “Avar” (including Onoghurs, Proto-Hungarians etc.) people.

where did you get this nonsense from, that the name Buda comes from the Slavic furnace :D Buda is a much older name, go a little further back in time!
@@Protagorasz well I didn't make it up, it is the opinion of historians and linguists in Hungary for at least a century and a half, when historical criticism and scholarship developed in Hungary as in Western Europe at about the same time. Why does this upset you? The brother of Attila is what medieval chroniclers wrote and they are notoriously bad historians and linguists: not seeing much difference between Arthurian legend, Bible and history.

While its true that there was some controversy about the origin of the Huns, the consensus after recent decades is that they were Turks of Oghuric affiliation, mostly based on credible studies confirming that the vast majority of attested Hunnic names, as well as all Hunnic successor clans are of evident Oghur Turkic origin.

Wonderful documentary, great job! You have a shining talent about history telling. Wonderful explanations about hunnic subempires like blue, red, white, golden huns. Blue huns were Gokturks in east, white and red huns were Hephtalites, Alchons in south, golden huns were Atilla's huns in northwest related to turkic region. Even today we can see turkic language region in language maps as reference.
I think Xiongnu was an eastern hun + mongol tribes union in east. On the west, there was a western hun (saka, sumer) + iranic union named Saka/Scythian. Their ancestors were turkic, ugric, sumerian people who have mixed with persian and arian people of mesopotamia and caucasia. Saka people are called in I. Darius' writing as foreign, central asian people. They were elder allies, later enemies for persians.
Sumerians have migrated to balkans, central europe partly mixing with grecoromans in anatolia and italian peninsula. They named themselves as Rasenna (Etruscans). They had a turkic-like culture and agglutinative language. Also, they spread to west as vasconic (basq, aquitan as also mentioned in this video) and to north as saxonian. Vasconic people also have spoken agglutinative in west, but saxonians have converted to germanic languages by gothic, nordic tribes.
If we inspect linguistically, in recent linguistic theories sumerian, vasconic, tyrrhenian, north caucasian (including avar andic), nadene/atabasq, yeniseian languages are classified in a new language family named dene-caucasian language family which is mostly agglutinative and relative to uralic-altaic languages. They all have originated from southeast asian agglutinative languages.
If we inspect genetically, southeast asians had C1b, D, K2b ydna genetics and spread to australia, polynesia, west and east austronesia, southern east asia, northern east asia, north euroasia, siberia, americas, central asia, east euroasia, west euroasia, india and west europe. They have spoken agglutinative languages mostly and had genetically mutated descendant haplogroups of C1b, D, K2b ydna.
I can summarize them as general:
C1b, C2 - east austronesian, polynesian,
C3 - mongolic, tungusic,
C4 - aboriginal australian,
D, D1, D2 - tibetan, burman, andamanese,
D3 - ainu, jomon japanese,
K2b, P - aeta, negrito, philippinese, malaisian,
M, S - papuan, new guinean,

In a manuscript of Otto of Freising's History of Two Cities an editor, seemingly from the thirteenth century, added a marginal note to a passage describing the conversion of a king of the Huns at the time of the Emperor Justinian. This note commented that the Turks' were formerly known as 'Huns' and that Western Huns are now called Hungarians and Avars. This comment, whilst obscure and late, demonstrates that this author at least understood that a link existed between the Turks and Hungarians. There is an earlier source that makes a similar point. This is the Chronicle of Montecassino, which in an account of the First Crusade's crossing of Asia Minor, refers to the Seljuk Turkish ruler, Qilij Arslan of Nicaea, as the 'king of Huns, who now we call Turks
Sogdian sources mention that the Turks are closely related to the Huns.
Also, Indian sources mentioned that the Turks are related to the Huns.
And the Byzantine sources confirmed that the Bulgarians are the same as the Huns, and the Bulgarian kings confirmed in their sources and inscriptions that they were descended from the lineage of the Hun kings.

The oldest runes are from Norway, and are approximately 1800-2000 years old. They seem to be influenced by Latin and Etruscan. However, Runes were used by all Germanic tribes, even in present day Hungary.
The last time was a rune, which dates to the year 428, and the Turks found the stone. I would like to share the link.

I have heard and been told that there are some villages in Germany that bear a Hunnic appearance and other traits. The same also applies to a couple of villages in France. I have also read that Ottavakar(Odoacer) did not want to destroy the Roman Empire but to perpetuate it e.g.the Roman Church, the Holy Roman Empire and the modern day EU. During WW 2 the Germans were sometimes called The Huns.

To judge by the tribal names, a great part of the Huns must have spoken a Turkish language. Ultincur and Alpilcur are as Turkish as Bug-cor, the Pecheneg tribal names ending in t£ovq, and the Kirghiz tribal and clan names ending in coro. Another common ending in Turkish tribal names, -gur, occurs in Kutrigur, Utigur, Onogur, Bittugur, *Tongur, and *Ugur. On the analogy with Ultincur, Ultingir, ending in -gir like other definitely Turkish ethnic names, must likewise be Turkish. The same is true for Bardor = Var-dor and Ultindur.
Page 72
The Hunnic noblemen, Attila's relatives and retainers, have either Turkish or Germanic names. There evidently were few, if any, Alans among the leading group. As no people ever emigrated to the last man, some Alans presumably stayed in Hungary after 406, but they played a minor role. Most of their tribal and clan leaders had left.
Page 403
That the Huns included Turkish-speaking tribes can be regarded as established only if a number of personal and tribal names of the Huns are undoubtedly as Turkish as orfevre is French, goldsmith English, and Goldschmied German. One such name is *alp-il-cur.

Being Hungarian is a proud beauty..
Nowadays, people believe again in fate, in God... More and more people are saying the idea that: There are no coincidences!
If this is true, everything that happens in our world has a reason, then can we ignore the fact that we were born Hungarian? Or, there are no coincidences, but that doesn't matter? Of course! If you were born here, you have a duty! Completing the task begins with the fact that we do not gloss over our Hungarianness, but find out what it means to be Hungarian. What kind of task has God (fate, universe...) assigned us as Hungarians.
Árpád's Hungarians come to the inheritance of Atilla the Hun, as descendants to the Carpathians, Hunnia, Hungary. They take possession of the rightful inheritance, without a fight, because it turns out that the people who live here speak our language, our relatives. The Turul dynasty, of which Atilla is a member, was called the Árpád house in the Middle Ages, and can present one of the oldest family trees in the world, as Atilla descends from Nimród. According to our able chronicle, our first king was Atilla and our first king István. It's not a mistake, that's what the chronicle says about both of them. So we have a ruling family with the oldest ancestry in Europe and a rightful heritage, the Carpathians, the Carpathian Basin. There are many things that connect us with certain peoples connected here, of whom we can also say - and I say - our relatives.
The Greeks describe the Scythians as saying that their soldiers retreat in battle, then unexpectedly attack back and destroy the ranks of the enemy, who were already confused in the pursuit, with a counterattack. This is what the Romans wrote about the Parthians, from whom they suffered a crushing defeat twice. This is the news about the Huns, the Avars, and about us Hungarians as well. In fact, our national symbol, the falcon that forms the basis of TURUL, also fights in the air in this way.
We know from our legislation that at first it consists of only 5 points (the blood contract), then it expands, again and again by recording freedoms when they seem to be forgotten. According to the Greeks, the Scythians carry the truth not in the law book, but in their hearts. Atilla, God's Whip, is stern but fair. It is based on his judgment that he destroys entire cities, at other times he leaves a monastery or a church if he finds righteous people, and sometimes he pardons the entire city, see the case of Rome.
We do not sign a contract in front of a notary, but in an authentic place (presbytery, canonry), in front of God. In case of breach of contract, God's Judgment is common. The most common is the ordeal by fire, which in the 1300s ended with more than 50% healing. Our relationship with God, loyalty to the truth plays a prominent role in our lives. (Dr. Tibor Varga)
According to the Holy Crown Doctrine, which is the written reality of a customary law, everyone deserves a life worthy of a human being. The goods required for this cannot be alienated, and cannot be transferred to private hands. Today, this would be the agricultural land, road network, drinking water supply, telephone, post office, railway... These are the properties of the Holy Crown, which cannot be alienated by either the king or the parliament. Although this system does not serve profit maximization, it gives an opportunity for a life worthy of a human being. (Dr. Tibor Varga)

-"We may set aside theories, now fashionable in some quarters, which attempt to link or identify various Iranian peoples of Antiquity with the Turkic-speaking world. Even further afield, peoples and civilizations encompassing much of Europe and even the New World have been declared Turkic. These theories have found little in the way of substantiation. More interesting, but perhaps equally a stretch are the attempts made by Denis Sinor, among others, to link Turk with the Ἱύρκαι of Herodotos (IV. 22),"
page 24:
-"If the “Tyrcae” are, indeed, the Türks, a major migration from the western Eurasian steppes to Inner Asia would be required for them to appear in the Chinese borderlands in the sixth century. Of this we have no record either in the Chinese historical tradition or in the Türk tradition. Moreover, while Indo-Europeans (Indo-Iranians and Tokharians) clearly moved eastward into Inner Asia, the movement of Inner Asian Altaic speakers (among whom the Turkic peoples are ranked), according to the historical record, has been from east to west."

None of these are the correct answer.
1. "The more common view is the "Turcæ" tribe of the Scythians, which was also mentioned by Pliny and Mela and gave its name to today's Turkic geography (Turkestan)."
(The Natural History. Pliny the Elder. John Bostock, M.D., F.R.S. H.T. Riley, Esq., B.A. London. Taylor and Francis, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street. / Chap.7)
The Scythians, the ancestors of the Nomads, came from the Altai region BC in the 10-9 centuries to North Caucausia. Scythians are originally a Caucasoid race from Altai. There is no definitive opinion that the Scythians spoke Iranian language. This is still a theory. The fact that the characteristic haplogroups of Proto Turkic Peoples are R1a-z93 (Scythian) and R1b-m343(Sarmatian) instead of mongoloid (C1-m130) is proof of this.
2. You made it up. Byzantine and European chroniclers mention the Avars Bulgarians Khazars Ases and Cumans Turks living in the North Caucasus and Central Asia. not the Hungaria.
"Byzantines encountered the Gokturks ,Khazar , Kipchaks and Pechenegs Turks. And their language, their clothing, and

3. Also The interesting thing is that the genetics of Hungarians are similar to Cumans and are agglutinative like Turkish languages.
for example
hg: Jebemmen śok kiszik alma van.
tr: cebimde çok küçük elma var.
eng: There is a very small apple in my pocket
4. In addition, contrary to classical encyclopedia sites, archaeological, anthropological and genetic research on the Scythians indicates that there is no connection between the Scythians and the Ossetians. New genetic and linguistic studies connect the Scythians to the Turks.
Also The genetic lineage of the Karachay and Balkar Turks is mostly the same as the Schytian-Alans. Karachay Turks Characterictic Haplogroups R1a-z93-z2123 36% + G2a1-p15-16 %34%
Unfortunately, the Scythian Characteristic Haplogroup R1a-z2123 (%42) is 1-2% in Ossetians.

My Hungarian ex-girlfriend was One of the most perfect creatures that ever lived, emitting a glory that would blind any mortal man. I find no fault with the engineering judgement of the man she married after dropping me.
This can be surmised by analysing the names of Hunnic princes and tribes. The names of the following Hunnic princes are clearly Oghuric Turkic in origin: Mundzuk (Attila's father, from Turkic Munc uq = pearl/jewel: for an in-depth discussion of the Hunnic origin of this name in particular see Schramm (1969), 139-40), Oktar/Uptar (Attila's uncle, Öktär brave/powerful), Oebarsius (another of Attila's paternal uncles, Arbårs leopard of the moon), Karaton (Hunnic supreme king before Ruga, Qarâton = black-cloak), Basik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, early fifth century, Bársig = governor), Kursik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, from either Kürsig, meaning brave or noble, or Quršiq meaning belt-bearer). For these etymologies see Bona (1991), 33. Three of Attila's known sons. have probable Turkic names: Ellac, Dengizich, Hernak, and Attila's principal wife, the mother of the crown prince' Ellac, has the Turkic name Herekan, as does another notable wife named Eskam. See Maenchen-Helfen (1973), 392-415. See also Bona (1991), 33-5, and Pritsak (1956), 414. Most known Hunnic tribal names are also Turkic, Maenchen-Helfen (1973), 427-41, e.g. Ultincur, Akatir etc. The cur suffix in many of these names is a well-known Turkic title and as Beckwith (1987), 209, points out the To-lu or Tardus tribes (Hunnic in origin) of the Western Turkish On Oq were each headed by a Cur (noble). Zieme (2006), 115, speculates that the title cur belongs to a pre-Turkic Tocharian stratum of the Turkic language, which, if true, again highlights the essential heterogeneity of Central Asian peoples and even languages. See also Aalto (1971), 35. In addition to this primary language (Oghuric Turkic), Priscus informs us that Latin and Gothic were also understood by the Hunnic elite. See Priscus, fr. 13.3, Blockley (1983), 289.
The name of Ellac, Attila’s eldest son, is a corruption of the Turkic älik ( ilik ) meaning ‘ruler, king’. 21 Ernak/Irnik the youngest son also has the variation of the same suffix in his name. His name is probably Turkic är-näk , meaning ‘great hero’, with the suffix here functioning as an augmentation of the Turkic är-än (hero). 22 Thus the suffix -ik/ich was used in Hunnic to imply greatness (i.e. ruler or kingship). These names were, it seems, formal court titles rather than personal names.
Kim, H. (2013). The end of the Hunnic Empire in the west. In The Huns, Rome and the Birth of Europe (pp. 89-136). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Naturally we also have more probable Turkic etymologies for these names, especially for those of Attila and Bleda. However, even if they were Germanic or Germanicized Turkic names," ,99 this does not allow us to make any hasty assumptions about the official language of the empire, if it ever existed. What Heather ignores is the fact that we have convincing or highly probable Turkic etymologies for the names of many of the other Hunnic kings and nobles before and after Attila, e.g. Mundzuk (Attila's father, from Turkic Muncuq = 'pearl/jewel'), Oktar/Uptar (Attila's uncle, Öktär = "brave/power ful'), Oebarsius (another of Attila's paternal uncles, Aïbârs = 'leopard of the moon'), Karaton (Hunnic supreme king before Ruga, Qaraton = 'black cloak'), Basik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, early fifth century, Bårsig= 'governor'), Kursik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, from either Kürsig, meaning 'brave or noble', or Qursiq meaning 'belt-bearer'). All three of Attila's known sons have probable Turkic names: Ellac, Dengizich, Hernak, and Attila's principal wife, the mother of the first son Ellac, has the Turkic name Herekan, as does another wife named Eskam (Ešqam = 'companion of the Shaman).102
It seems highly likely then from the names that we do know, most of which seem to be Turkic, that the Hunnic elite was predominantly Turkic speaking. However, in the western half of the empire, where most of their subjects spoke Germanic languages, the Huns may have used both Hunnic (Oghuric Turkic) and Gothic. Thus fief holders and royal family mem Ibers in the west who ruled Germanic tribes often bore Germanic or Germanicized titles (of great significance, as we will discover later on in the book), e.g. Laudaricus and Ardaric.105 Priscus, who is our only reliable source, being an actual eye-witness, tells us that at the Hunnic court Hunnic, Gothic and Latin were spoken, but with Hunnic always men tioned before Gothic. All three languages were apparently understood by the elite to some degree, so much so that Zercon the Moor could provoke laughter by jumbling all three together at a Hunnic banquet in the presence of Attila.107 There is, however, no indication anywhere that any of these three languages was the lingua franca.
Kim, H. (2013). Notes. In The Huns, Rome and the Birth of Europe (pp. 30). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Haussig (2000), 277, suggests that Oult or Oulti is a Greek rendering of the Oghuric Turkic word for the number six. What is interesting is the fact that in names such as Oultizouroi and Ultzincur above we have clearly two elements Oulti (six) + the Turkic title Cur (noble), meaning ‘the six lords’.

The core Turkic tribes of the Hunnic Empire from very early on all possessed different names: Akatziri , Alpidzuri, etc. in addition to their Hunnic identity.

Sogdian sources mention that the Turks are closely related to the Huns.
Also, Indian sources mentioned that the Turks are related to the Huns.
And the Byzantine sources confirmed that the Bulgarians are the same as the Huns, and the Bulgarian kings confirmed in their sources and inscriptions that they were descended from the lineage of the Hun kings.
There is no direct relation between the Germanic runes and that Turkish ones. Runes are just the ancient form that letters had, preferring straight lines as you can see in Archaic Greek and Etruscan inscriptions, before classical letters came into being. It was much easier to carve straight lines into wood than curved ones and it still is. The Germanic runes are directly connected to the Greek and Roman letters, you can actually still read them by knowing the Latin alphabet, some Germanic language (such as English) and a little exercise. Turkish runes are a very distant relative, therefore they have not been deciphered till quite recently.
I'd say that the actual legacy of the White Huns are the Hazara and not at all the Pashtun. They do carry (among other East Asian genetics) the so-called "Genghis Khan lineage", however I'm persuaded that's not a Mongolian heritage but a much older one ("molecular clock" is rubbish, at least the way shcolastic orthodoxy uses it), one that almost certainly pertains to the Turkic/Hunnic expansion. Also notice the similitude Hazara = Khazars.
Khalaj people also have a good claim on the White Huns since some of their successor polities were ethnically Khalaj (Zunbils & Turk Shahis) although White Huns themselves were more likely Oghuric, the Hunnic component in the Varchonites is also assumed to be of White Hun stock

I also don't really understand what "Oghur(ic)" means, aren't all Turkics Oghuric? Which Turkics (other than maybe weird Siberian branches like the Yakut) are not Oghuric? When did the Oghur concept first coalesced?
@@LuisAldamizIt's still debated when exactly the Oghur Turkic-Common Turkic separation occurred however the former got greatly replaced by the latter today all Turkic languages other than Chuvash belong to Common Turkic
@@nenenindonu - Yakut/Sakha included? That suggests that Oghur is core-Turkic and that Bulgars (proto-Chuvash) may have been indeed an admixed population with a creole dialect of their own. A wild guess anyhow.
@@LuisAldamizYakut also belongs to the Siberian branch of Common Turkic, Chuvash is a very obscure language with a considerable Finno-Ugric component, it's also fascinating how it didn't get Kipchakized due to the imperial influence of the Golden Horde unlike other originally non-Kipchak languages like Kyrgyz, Kazakh,...
In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.
You call the whole of Central and Western Asian Nations Turkic. This is madness.
Did the Mongols establish Turks? Where did you learn history?? In addition, the Xiongnu people fled from western China, and today's Shanxi is the birthplace of the Xiongnu.
One may argue world history began with Chingis Khan, in the 13th century? Spoken by a true mongoloid
In the case of Early Pre-Proto-Mongolic, certain loanwords in the Mongolic languages point to early contact with Oghur (Pre-Proto-Bulgaric) Turkic, also known as r-Turkic. These loanwords precede Common Turkic (z-Turkic) loanwords and include:
• Mongolic ikere (twins) from Pre-Proto-Bulgaric ikir (versus Common Turkic ekiz)
• Mongolic hüker (ox) from Pre-Proto-Bulgaric hekür (Common Turkic öküz)
• Mongolic jer (weapon) from Pre-Proto-Bulgaric jer (Common Turkic yäz)
• Mongolic biragu (calf) versus Common Turkic buzagu
• Mongolic siri- (to smelt ore) versus Common Turkic siz- (to melt)
The above words are thought to have been borrowed from Oghur Turkic during the time of the Xiongnu.
Later Turkic peoples in Mongolia all spoke forms of Common Turkic (z-Turkic) as opposed to Oghur (Bulgharic) Turkic, which withdrew to the west in the 4th century. The Chuvash language, spoken by 1 million people in European Russia, is the only living representative of Oghur Turkic which split from Proto Turkic around the 1st century AD.
Words in Mongolic like dayir (brown, Common Turkic yagiz) and nidurga (fist, Common Turkic yudruk) with initial *d and *n versus Common Turkic *y are sufficiently archaic to indicate loans from an earlier stage of Oghur (Pre-Proto-Bulgaric). This is because Chuvash and Common Turkic do not differ in these features despite differing fundamentally in rhotacism-lambdacism (Janhunen 2006). Oghur tribes lived in the Mongolian borderlands before the 5th century, and provided Oghur loanwords to Early Pre-Proto-Mongolic before Common Turkic loanwords.

How different were the Huns from the Mongols? Especially in terms of military technology. Did the Huns use stirrups? Also did the Mongols had better horses than the Huns because of 800+ years of selective breeding and improvement?
at that time,mongol's ancestor donghu and xiongnu was enemy to each other.
@@lingli5099 😂 even brothers were enemies at that time no problem
Mongols were more advanced, evidently, because they came later and built their organization on the system Scythians and Huns built before them. Huns used straight swords and asymmetrical bows, Mongols used curved swords and symmetrical bows. For the military unit consisting 10 000 men ancient Hungarians used the word "tömény", and the Mongols used the same, "tuemen". I bet they used the same small but sturdy Asian horses.
The same ppl. Just different times, hence more developed military
Huns-European name (Xiongnu-Chinese name) Hunnu(Хүннү)- Mongolian name. Both are same people and ancestors of Mongols
The painting shown in 19:48 is called ''Asparukh (such a Turkic name, isn't it?) at the Battle of Ongal'' by Vasil Goranov, and the sword on the book's cover in 26:20 is the sword of Kubrat, the founder of Bulgaria.
Also,
Modern genetic studies of bone material from Bulgarian burials from the period of the early Middle Ages clearly shows that the ethnic appearance of the discovered bodies belongs to the Indo-European group. Archaeologically, the Proto-Bulgarians belong to the Sarmato-Alan cultures.
The Proto-Bulgarians as inhabitants of the lands north of the Caucasus in the 2nd century are mentioned by the Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi. In his History of Armenia, written in the 80's of the 5th century AD, he speaks about two migrations of Proto-Bulgarians from Caucasus to Armenia. Proto-Bulgarians lived amongst Sarmato-Alan and Slavic tribes for centuries before migrating to the Balkans. However, Turkic elements could also be found due to the influence of the Avars (mostly) and the Göktürks.
Most of the names of the rulers and aristocrats of the First Bulgarian Empire are of Iranian origin.
Names such as Sinnion, Zabergan, Kubrat/Xovrat, Bezmer/Bozmihr, Asparukh, Tervel, Kormes, Sevar, Kardam, Krum, Omurtag/Murtag, Negavon, Okorsis/Korsis, Malamir, Boris, Rasate, etc., are proven to be (Indo)Iranian and generally Indo-European in origin (and etymology) and does not have Turkic analogues. The last pagan ruler of Bulgaria was literally called Persian/Presian.
There is NO historical source or evidence of Tengrism in Bulgaria. The only "evidence" that suggests the alleged presence of ''Tangra/Tengri'' in the Bulgarian lands is a damaged fragmentary inscription found near Madara. The argument that the name "Tangra" was written on it has been refuted many times over the years.
@@ds-on4sm This is the first time I see someone so fiercely insisting that he's a descendant of a bare footed slave (Slav) wearing a single linen shirt, instead of a Turk Warrior in full mail armor. 😆
here was a migration of nations. So the Huns

not leave descendants. Roman Empire to rule

I think you should review the examples of names you have given. In addition, Mogul and Turkish are separate languages. 😊

In 451 there is not much left of the Roman Empire in Gaul. Aetius leads a coalition of Gallo-Roman troops, Salian Franks, Armorican, Visigoths, Alains, Burgundians etc... After the defeat of the huns, nothing remains of Rome in Gaul. The Visigoths and the Franks dominated portions of the territory and Rome was looted by the Vandals.
God video ❤but little corekt .In Gots Hronik and Romans Spek older Skyts lather huns and today bulgarian people in 5centure 😉 Good Bulgarian history 👍
Fun fact: if Atila the Hun and the Huns never slaughtered the Eastern Slavs, they would have never ran away from home and moved into the balkans and become now the southern Slavs (Serbs, Croats, Bosnaks and Montenegrins)
The number of farming peoples is far more than that of nomads and Huns. They drove and enslaved the Huns. The farming peoples were inherently evil and wanted to capture the free Huns as slaves. At this point, the Huns began to fight back. It was not the Huns who took the initiative to provoke evil, they were just side and self-defense side
Greetings. May I ask you to provide the sources you used for this video? If so, much appreciated.
i once killed attila by chance early on in ''attila total war'' the huns collapsed quickly and it was the easiest playthrough i had. good times.

Hard to believe the Huns were described as most unhuman or (subhuman), when India also existed.
This video also proves, they were much more, than some barbaric people.
16:30 Hungary’s obvious connection to their ancestors, the Huns.
No it comes from Ugri/Ungri
