I assume you meant West in the former sentence...
@@calvinsuu1949 Ssshhhh lol
If a conqueror is from the West, he is called a racist and a colonialist. If they say a conqueror from the East, look at what a wonderful traditional culture of theft and robbery.

What history ?
Ruining civilization ?
Xiongnu is a Mandarin pronunciation. The Chinese characters Xiongnu 匈奴was pronounced Honnu before Pinyin system standardized Chinese pronunciation based on Mandarin. In Cantonese and Wu dialects, it is still pronounced Honnu or Hunnu.
It is customary to separate the eastern modern Xianbei-Xiongnu as Xiongnu and the western Hunnu-Xiongnu as Huns.
@@mr.purple1779 a completely erroneous custom. genetics and archaeology clearly proves the direct connection between the Xiongnu and the European Huns. the Xianbei were a bit different from the Xiongnu as well, but i'd rather not go into that right now.
@@Baso-sama And what is wrong with my words?
Kínából nagyon sok régészeti bizonyíték érkezik Magyarországra, amik erősen mutatják, hogy a Hunok a Magyarok elődjei voltak! Sőt még különálló nyelvük is volt, és a Tengrizmus vallást gyakorolták!
The origin part is kinda oversimplified, the Huns had in fact their own language, Hunnic, which is asserted to be an Oghur Turkic language related to Bulgar hence the concept of "Hunno-Bulgar", the Chuvash language remains the only surviving member of Oghuric. Like empires all nomadic polities are more or less multi-ethnic but the original core of Huns consisted of Oghur fractions like Kutrigurs, Saragurs, Utigurs, etc.
There is something very distorted between the old and new books and the Chuvash dreams of some historians.
And Avars?
@@iszb5339 Avars or more correctly Varchonites were late comers to the former Hunnic realm in Eastern Europe, they were most likely at least partially remnants of the Hephthalites aka White Huns. (Varchonite = Oghur tribes of Var & Chunni/Hun)

Hun means human or person in Mongolian. We still keep many Hun cultural traditions such as cheek red painting, folk son genre, and music instruments.

It’s always amazing to find a channel that spends a lot of time and effort into studying steppe history. It’s incredibly refreshing and relieving
Most of the time spent in this video is in research part. So yes, I've spent a lot of time in this... I hope you enjoy this video...
@@boringoldhistory I enjoy all your videos, your channel is incredible. You don’t have to stick to just steppe history but I really appreciate the amount of videos you have released on the topic. Much respect and thank you

Keep up the good work
Good job!

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)
It is who - we are now - that is real - functionally so - as humans.
We have a duty to love and think deep - about a new way for all.
Or not ?
I have German experience - yet born in Africa - love the English language and meditate in the Indian Raja Yoga tradition.
So we learn - to learn - letting go and moving on.
Or not ? Fare thee well.
Hungarian do not even have the word "Hungarian" in their language. They are Magyars and have nothing to do with the Huns.
The land in Pannonia was called Hungaria before the Magyars came there.
Yes there was no opposition, because the Franks defeated the Avars who were Huns under a different name one century earlier.
The defeated Avars/Huns retreated into the Banat Mountains and Hungaria was an abandoned land, where still were natives, but nobody was strong enough to oppose the Magyars.
Interesting insider news. Thank you. @@neloglass
@@neloglassmagyars called as hungary not because of huns. It is because on oghurs(ten ogur-turkic people) on oghur became ongar ungar hungar. Hungarians heavily influenced by turkic people and they became kinda turkic before they went hungary. From east huns, avars, bolgars, pechenegs, cumans, uzes, magyars all of them have same roots same turkic steppe culture.
@@mehmetfatihcetin5932 You got it with up side down.
Yes Turks were part of Skit nation which were migratory and controlled all territory from Black Sea to China.
But Turks mixed at a certain point with Chutcki and other such nations and lost the language and customs of the Skits.
The History you know was made up without any background and documentation.
Great video. Everyone should watch it. Heaps of texture.
Well! Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video...
Amazing video, truly.
I’d just like to ask, where do you get the smoke from? Like how where would I download something like that? It adds so much to the images
You can download them from youtube. Just search 'smoke overlays'. Find the one you like, go to their description, they'll usually have a download link, if they don't than copy the link of the video. Go to any youtube video downloader site, paste the link and download it from there. But before you download, makes sure that in the description of the video, they have mentioned something like 'this video is free to use' or 'copyright free' or anything like that. Beaware that there are many youtube channels that share these overlay elements which is not their own but a copy of someone else work. You probably won't get a copyright claim or strike, but it's always good to be on a safer side. Just make sure that the channel looks legits even if they have a very low subscribers.
Pixabay is a good site too. I am currently using many of their stock videos and vfx elements. Search 'smoke overlays', you will get good amount of them there. Download and use them, this site is completely safe. But do not use the music from this site, you will most likely get a copyright claim.

The Chinese records note that in the third or fourth century, the Han dynasty finally defeated the Xiongnu. The southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han Chinese. The northern Xiongnu migrated west, and the west called them the Huns. It's said that the Han Chinese in ancient times did pronounce Xiongnu as Huns.
not Huns but Hiong-na. Ancient Chinese pronunciation.
how did they differentiate from each other
@@johnthiam2446no in Cantonese which is considered the original ancient Chinese language also pronounced it as Hun!

What also played into their alien appearance was that they practiced a form of head binding, wrapping the still soft skulls of infants and small children tightly with cloth to create elongated heads.

People find such interesting ways of saying racist stuff.
After the fall of the Han Dynasty, many nomadic tribes north of China has the surname of Liu and all claimed lineage and descent from the Han Dynasty. The Huns are probably beaten off by other claimants but still take the name of the Han Dynasty as their dynasty right.
Xiongnu wore leather and fur. That probably was why they didn't wash them. And Xiongnu actually was the people started the silk trade. Before the Han Chinese could defeat Xiongnu, in order to stop Xiongnu pillaging Han Chinese villages and towns, the Han dynasty carried out a pacifying policy that Han dynasty would give Xiongnu silk, tea, etc valuable stuff as well as marrying Han Chinese women to Xiongnu kings.
The Han emperor Han Wu Di sent Zhang Qian to look for the Yuezhi people to form an ally against Xiongnu. The Yuezhi people neighbored Xiongnu, were defeated by Xiongnu and migrated west to central Asia. In order to get to central Asia. Zhang Qian has to go through Xiongnu territory, and he was captured. Xiongnu kept him and gave him a Xiongnu wife. Zhang Qian lived with Xiongnu for ten years and escaped to central Asia to find Yuezhi people. But the Yuezhi people was doing well and formed the Kushan empire and was not interested in fighting Xiongnu anymore. Zhang Qian went back to Xiongnu and then escaped with his Xiongnu wife to China. During the ten years living in Xiongnu territory, Zhang Qian draw a map of the whole place. And he also found out that Xiongnu did not wear silk themselves but sell them to merchants in Central Asia for good money. So when Han dynasty defeated Xiongnu, they took over that area and started the silk road trade in large scale.
Took the Han Dynasty of China over 200 years to fully beat the fierce Xiongnus despite very superior military technology. They finally fled to the west towards Europe over time.

Shiung Nu, I have understood, to be a term for savages..huns were Scythians, their culture was nomadic, although I understood they did have some settlements..( I have read)...
Huns were a nomadic people within a finely defined geographical boundary
Proto of the Mongols , they were of Alltaic peoples , similar to American Indian , Japanese , Chinese , Mongols , and Turkic peoples .

The consensus is that the Huns were Turks of Oghuric affiliation, mostly based on credible studies confirming that the vast majority of attested Hunnic names as well as all Hunnic sub-clans (Akatziri, Onogurs, Utigurs, Sabirs, Bulgars, Saragurs, Baranjars, Kutrigurs) are of evident Oghur Turkic origin

What area you smoking? Nonsense you talking about.
Most of those peoples you named were not Hunnic "sub clans".
How related are modern day Hungarians to original Huns? I don’t see much Turkic features or fitting the description.
Probably not more related than many other Europeans.
todays hungarians have probably
define turkic features, they just look caucasian
They would be a mix of Caucasian and East Asian. Mostly Siberian, Altai.
If you look at many East Europeans, you can see they it.
Kinda like Tocharians. Give or take a little.
Blonde blue eyed Asians. Of course it would be a mixed bag of features and phenotypes.
I can see a little Asian in Putin.
Buddha is described as being from a Saka (Skythian) Clan.
He’s described as blue eyes and black hair with pale skin.
Keep in mind that Steppe people are male dominated societies, that send out eject men from their group, and they can’t come back without having achieved something great in a Rite of Passage for marriage.
This is seen all throughout these highly mobile Steppe people.

I’m interested how the Huns ended up as Hungarians.
I was thinking the same thing about the “Hun” in the Hunan province of China.
Where did they come from?
I am surprised that the important language like Urdu did not include the translation
I just added Urdu translation. Thanks for the remainder. I didn't have audience from Urdu speaking region. So, I didn't add them. But I'll include Urdu from now on.
Where did they 'come' from!
I have a question. Where did these partially nomadic people get steel? Where were the blacksmiths? Did they just steal everything? And if so how did they start without weapons? I'm not saying that you're wrong, it just seems strange.
Yes, they probably did steal the weapons. As did their contemporary Goths in 376, and the mongols in the 13th century, who often armed themselves with the weapons of the dead soldiers. Most of the Huns' weapons of earlier period are considered to be of Persian origin. But loot and plunder was not the only way they got their weapons, they also bartered with those they came in contact with. Later on, they too had goldsmiths, most of whom were either Roman prisnors or deserters. Atilla had men in his army who could build and serve even the seige engines who were clearly not Huns.
No, they didn't steal everything. They had their own weapons too, composite bow being one of the most famous one. Almost all of the Huns soldiers were cavalry archers, and their battle tactics mostly revolved around archery. It was not until so many years later that they began to adopt some of the Roman equipments.
As a matter of fact, they didn't need the weapons of others. They were superior in warfare than any other European military. It were these steppe nomads who brought revolution to the mobile warfare. Here is a quote from Hyun Jin Kim just to add to my point--
"...and the Romans discovered to their horror that their military system, despite the reforms of Constantine and subsequent emperors, was still out of date in comparison with the novel type of warfare being introduced from the steppe region"
@@boringoldhistory Вы плохо знаете Тюрков. У них в горах Алтая было свои железные ископаемые ресурсы и там у них было кузнецы и всегда воевали против Китая и у Тюрков было разные стрелы которые смотря противника использовали разные стрелы... Китайский стена построено именно для защиты от Тюркских кочевых народов
The bow Xiongnu used were made by the Chinese. But the Xiongnu had better horses and they were much better horsemen. The Chinese had to get the "heavenly horses" from central Asia (today's Afghanistan), had a large scale reproduction program that every Chinese family had to raise horses for the country, and trained Chinese horsemen for years before they went to war with Xiongnu and defeated them.
It's very interesting that people don't know this. Central Asian nomads and especially Turks are famous for their iron workmanship. In some texts written in the Middle East, the name Turk is used instead of blacksmith in the Middle Ages. In the south of Siberia, in almost uninhabited areas, there are numerous ruins of forges. When Tsarist Russia went to the Tuva and Altai regions, the small tribes living here had only leather and steel, so they paid their taxes to Russia in steel. In addition, various ironworking techniques and blast furnace techniques came to Europe with waves of migration from Central Asia and became widespread in countries such as Sweden. In summary, the Huns were probably the best blacksmiths and especially the best weapon manufacturers in the world at that time.

They operated the same way Native tribes operated in the Americas as small decentralized units, where our cheifs were voted in and held sway only until the task at hand was accomplished.
How did the Huns interact with the Slavs?

Academician, who has presented the biggest evidence about identification of the Huns with the Xiong-nus, is Friedrich Hirth, American scholar of German origin. Chinese annal named Wei-shu relates that the country of the Alans was destroyed the Xiong-nus while Ammianus Marcellinus recorded that the country of the Alans was destroyed by the Huns. In the light of the information presented by both sources Hirth claimed that the Huns were the Xiong-nus. the Huns were the Turks and the Bulgarians, who are accepted to be the grandsons of European Huns, were of Turkic origin and spoke Oguric dialect of Turkic.
😂😂 As a bulgarian it was always a big fun to read the comments of turkic people, who even after 100 years believe in the Soviet bullshits serving the goals of the ideology, called Bulgarism 😂.

@@stanvanev109 I am familiar with Hunnic Studies. The prevailing view about the origin of the Huns is that they were of Turkic origin.

I wonder what happened to the Hun. I have this idea when i read that the western mongolian empire was massacre by the chinese qing dynasty emperor.

No they didn't. The Avars brought the stirrup to Europe.

There is nothing boring about the Huns. If you want to hear boring history then listen to NPR tell you about the history of the Cello.
But still no answer
other than snits and giggles what is the point of studying any of these groups? did they develop Cold Fusion or discover the cure for cancer? what scientific or technological advances did any of these folks leave as a legacy? what contributions to the Arts did any of them make? great paintings, plays, poetry, symphonies? can someone explain how the study of these people is relevant for those of us living in the present? their history just seems to be a never ending parade of warlords and aggression. no rise of democratic republics or industrial revolutions or Renaissance!

@@paulroese1376 Oh no. Even if you consider the Huns some 'failed experiment' (which would be an unscientific appraisal, as it would be a moral, emotional judgement rather than a scientific one) in science failures are important too.
If you believe as someone like Marvin Harris believed, that 'infrastructure probabilistically predicts structure (a society's family and economic and political organization) which in turn predicts its 'superstructure' (the religion, ideology, and belief systems used to justify and explain the 'rightness' of it all) then if you don't think the Huns are a good result, it behooves you to know how these come about.
As an example of this, the Farm (organized by hippies in the 1970s) started out practicing a form of simplified agricultural lifestyle, akin to the Amish. Because their lifestyle mimicked those of the Amish, over time their belief systems started to mimick those of the Amish (babies good, abortion and homosexuality bad, etc). Several other people who have engaged in such agriculture have noted that a divide begins over what is considered "man's work" and "women's work", a gender divide over roles. In short, so many of our belief systems are the result of the organization favored by our way of living, you do "what makes sense" and over time your belief system starts conforming to justify what you do.

You called "barbarian" your ancestors if you have R1a, R1b ydna haplogroup. Because, altaic people are P1 ydna as ancestors of R1a, R1b ydna people. Huns (actually altaic) people have no iranic people included (They just pushed caucasian alans in front). But, elder scythians (saka, sumer originated) have mixed partly (70-90% altaic, 10-30% iranic) with iranic people. Also, after scythians have entered to west euroasia and balkans, they have mixed with slavic people too. There are 6.5k years old tatar tablets in romania.
Huns were the next migration group of altaic people similar to elder scythians. They were living pastoralist and they were a confederation of tribes but not a confederation of ethnicities. I see you have misunderstood many topics like their appearance, agriculture, ethnicity etc. but even in this case you have told huns well as much as europeans can. Thanks to your efforts and I want to finish my words by listing altaic, uralic siberian genetics as below:
C3, N2, N3, O3, P1, Q1a, Q1b, R, R1a, R1b ydna and D, G, C-Z, N, Y, A-X, I-W mtdna... These are total north and central asian, siberian genetics:
C3 mongolic, tungusic,
N2, N3 uralic, finnic,
O3 koreanic, japonic,
P1 altaic, altai turkic,
Q1a ket, yeniseian,
Q1b native american,
R uyghur turkic,
R1a hunnic, turkic, ugric,
R1b saka, sumer, tyrrhenian, vasconic...
Huns were mostly P1, R1a, Q1a and minor other siberian ethnicities. They mixed with persian, bactrian J2, slavic, ostrogothic I2 later in their journey in 3-4th century like scythians did same tousands of years ago.
Early xiagnu migrated to iranian land in central asia like kanju, massageate and alans. All alans not moved to west. It is true that Huns were majority iranian but elite were altic people
@@sulaimankhan3457 No, huns were highly turkic. Even todays central asian turkic people are 70-80% turkic, 20-30% iranic (at most like turkmens, uzbeks). For example altaian people are highest turkic with 80% turkic + 20% other altaic people like mongolic. Huns were mostly mixed with some mongolic in east, kazakhs are good example.
Also, european huns have mixed with some slavic in west, russian tatars are good example. Scythians (Saka) were partly iranic and turkic mixture. Also, I think old anatolians were a mixture of sumerian (agglutinative dene-caucasian) + iranic (persian, caucasian arian) + grecoroman (including some balkan slavs) similar to modern turkish, azerbaijani people genetically.
Funny. Maybe they thought the same thing about Romans and Germans
Very true.
Germans were not different from them but not the same for romans
The nomadic people are essentially the melting pot of various ethnic groups. The nomadic ethnic groups in northern China are quite powerful in human history, and they are the people who fought against China. The essence is the conflict between Eastern Chinese agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization! There is no right or wrong between both sides, it's just for survival! Once the nomadic tribes in the East fail, they mostly flee to the west!

Huns and Avars were Turkic. So much so that when Magyars settled into Pannonia, the region was already adressed as “Tourkia” by Eastern Roman Empire. You can google for “Geza I” and you’ll see Byzantine painting of him and written in Greek: “King Geza, faithful king of Tourkia”

The Hun/Xiongnu were Turkish, although others joined them and interbred. They shared some common ancestry with Mongols.
Nope. Perhaps Turkic, but definitely not Turkish. There's a difference.
turkic, not turkishh
Definitely Turkic and so partially Turkish. Turkish or Turkic, these are definitional differences in english language. There is no such distinction in us Turk's languages for ourselves. We are all Turks from different clans. We are not going to use your terminology for ourselves and our own history.

@@Ye_fan. Mongol ponies existed since time immemorial. Long before the establishment of a proper Mongol empire. According to "All the Khan's Horses," by Morris Rossabi - Columbia University
Genghis Khan and his descendants could not have conquered and ruled the largest land empire in world history without their diminutive but extremely hardy steeds. In some respects, these Mongolian ponies resembled what is now known as Prezwalski's horse.
Thus looking misshaped as they have short legs, big heads, rugged and pony size.
@@jacku8304 So why weren't the Turks, the powerful nomadic people before Mongolia, left an impression? ?
@Ye_fan. Mongolia was located beside China where gun powder and cannon were invented. It was a terrifying weapon not seen before and were made use by Mongols to terrorize and defeat others. From the Chinese it learn also about tactical surrounding, blockade and scaling of city wall. etc.

You have no proof that the Huns were Turkic.
In my opinion, the Huns were a conglomerate of peoples with the Royal Scythians at the core.
Some (if not most) names have suggested Turkic origins and the peoples who appeared in the Pontic Steppe after the Huns generally spoke Oghur Turkic (such as the Bulgars, who also claimed to descend from Attila through his son Ernak).
