In modern Italy, even to this day, in order to descrive a massive destructions and disgrace we say " The Huns have come" or to point out a destructive person we also say " is like Attila". Such manner of speech was and still accompanied by another one that literally translates " Mother the Turkish are coming". The destructive power they brought upon the roman empire carved such wound that the memory of it survived till now. The nickname of " Flagellus dei" is apparently rooted in a record, when the pope went out the door to meet Attila and the barbarian literally slapped the pope in the face. Hard to tell if it was an actual event or an ancient urban legend.

"Flagellum Dei" actually translates to God's Whip. Less the scourge of god, more so a punishment sent by God, much like flagellation was a punishment from those you wronged. Attila wasn't a scourge.

Atila and the huns were educated, gracious and just but very hard nation. A Roman prisoner was able to reach a strategist position. Lived as a servant with pleasure at the Huns, than as free one in Rome! This is a fact. It is possible to read it in Priskos writing. At the Huns the knowledge, the humanity, the justice and the expertise counted, not the natal right.

A bit unrelated, but I greatly appreciate that the majority of this channels videos have closed captioning that isnt auto generated. You speak faster than I would prefer, a lot of info in a short amount of time, but I realize that this brevity is probably for the majority who may choose not to watch it if it took twice as long. None the less, the captions are incredibly helpful. Most channels do not use them and the auto translate only works to get ideas crossed if no accents or odd names are used. They also lack punctuation so you almost have to build the previous sentence, using common sense to figure out when one sentence ends and the next begins, which makes you miss details. It's a minor piece of a channel on youtube but one that deaf and partially deaf people are eternally grateful for. I value it more than HD. Lol So just had to mention that. It is a little late, I'm sure I've watched 100 videos by now but I realized in the most recent one, the black dahlia video, how much of a difference it makes since that one does not have captions yet. I am only half deaf, it just makes it more difficult but not impossible to understand.

The transition to your sponsors are spot on.

Very entertaining video. I am glad youtube recommended it.

You should do a biography about the sea peoples. Even though not much is known about them they completely changed human history.

Alexander, Atilla, Genghis Khan. What is it about singular great people uniting warring tribes and conquering everything in site for a little while before dying and their entire empire vanishing? It seems happen a bizarre amount of times. Edit: also worth mentioning that they all die in some weird and completely anticlimactic way.

I have read accounts from diplomats met him. They claimed he would present himself as a simple man, sitting upon pillows on the ground with furs and a simple table, while he would treat his guests like royalty.

There's some interesting characters across Chilean history, I would recommend the naval battle of Iquique where a captain ( Arturo Pratt) jumped ships to battle the enemy when his ship (la esmeralda) was about to sink Pretty cool stuff

In what way ?

Play historical deduction games, and you'll come to the conclusion that either Alexander or Genghis Khan were the "greatest" warlords in history. Alexander conquered the Persian Empire who kept Attila at bay, who bent the Romans to his will, who defeated Hannibal. Genghis Khan was too late to fall into this stupid game I just played, but his nomadic chaos would've been petrifying. I forgot about the Mughals and Mehmet, dammit.

Great video but I‘d have hoped for more graphics and a sort oft timeline so you can get a better understanding of „what, when and where“
