When describing the great Atilla the hun, the romans had this East Asian description; "He was indeed a lover of war, yet restrained in action, mighty in counsel, gracious to suppliants and lenient to those who were once received into his protection. Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and swarthy skin, showing evidence of his origin." The Great Atilla thoroughly conquered Germania, but the roman empire was not yet in reach due to early passing. Though the germans were scared of the huns and forced to flee from them (they ended up revering him and putting him in their mythology LMAO), it ended up being that the germanics were forced to fight the easier (in decline) enemy, by dealing the end to western rome once and for all.

I see there are some discussions in comments regarding the Hunnic language and its connection to Turkic languages. Yes as the video said the empire itself is multiethnic and multilinguistic. However, the ruling family's language was oghur Turkic. Here is a section I am copying from a book about huns (the name of the book is at the end): " Turkic etymologies for the names of many of the other Hunnic kings and nobles before and after Attila, e.g. Mundzuk100 (Attila’s father, from Turkic Munčuq = ‘pearl/jewel’), 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 = ‘blackcloak’), Basik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, early fifth century, Bârsiğ =‘governor’), Kursik (Hunnic noble of royal blood, from either Ku¨ rsiğ, meaning ‘brave or noble’, or Quršiq meaning ‘belt-bearer’).101 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’). 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."

And in Turkey many were named Attila because many believed Turkish Progpaganda that Attila was an ancestor of Turkish peoples. Alexander is a Greek name for example, but Russians also claim to be the inheritants of the Ancient Greek and Romans. People are believing such rubbish sometimes..it is incredible.

Because they were from the same region as Mongolians...Huns, Avars and conquering Hungarian nomadic groups arrived into the Carpathian Basin from the Eurasian Steppes and significantly influenced its political and ethnical landscape. In order to shed light on the genetic affinity of above groups we have determined Y chromosomal haplogroups and autosomal loci, from 49 individuals, supposed to represent military leaders. Haplogroups from the Hun-age are consistent with Xiongnu ancestry of European Huns. Most of the Avar-age individuals carry East Asian Y haplogroups typical for modern north-eastern Siberian and Mongolian Buryat populations and their autosomal loci indicate mostly unmixed East Asian characteristics.

Altai mountains are the homeland of ancient Gokturks (Turkic tribes), and Metehan, who is the founder of the empire of the Xiongnu, is a name from the Turkish language! European historians never mention the connection between the Xiongnu and Gokturk khanates although both of them were funded by the same nomadic tribes relative to each other and speak very similar dialects. Many Turkish historians today accept the Xiongnu as the Asian Huns.

@kaztarihtanu

Xiongnu was the homeland of proto-turks. Then those nomadic people started their own Age of Discovery after their split into multiple small Hunnic khanates. Those who were not in favor of the Hunnic split, started to migrate westward and mixed with asian scythians(who had the mongoloid type of look and were named "saq"), then they also started to explore persia, caucasus, Edil river(volga river) and eastern europe. All of their migrations were not just te migration, but was like first exploration expeditions. Similar to how europeans discovered new world, Hunnic nomads discovered Europe, and started their expansion into lesser developed europe. Attila and the other Hunns before him were the conquistadors of nomadic people, who started to subjugate european folks. Because european hunns were the small part of the hunns across the entire eurasian continent

There is an interesting claim about the origin of the name "Atilla" that appears in both Hungarian and Turkish people. Itil river (Russian: River Volga, the region which was the capital of ancient Khazaria) was also pronounced as "Atil". Atil means Atilgan, Aggressive in turkish. It is still used occasionally in Turkish to express impatient people. I can easily see it pronounced as Atilgan firstly, and alter into Atilla with centuries passing by. Interestingly as a side note; Kapgan Khan (Qapaghan Khan, Mòchuò in some sources) known as the 2nd Göktürk Kagan, was also named after his personal traits. Kap means "to grab", "to snatch" "to take" "sometimes to steal what belongs to others" "to invade". And Kapgan means "the one who invades." Not only that. In the Islamized Ottoman (Some say "Ataman") there was "Yıldırım" Bayezid. Jıldırım or Yıldırım means "Lightning" in Turkish. In other words, as in ancient and native American society, it is customary for Turks to give the name of the child born as a "nickname", perhaps long after he or she is born.

But today’s turks are not what turkic was in the days where we shared the same word to call a flower.

​@@tuguldurlkhagvadorj8331 You sound like the typical Mongolian I've come across online. I don't understand your intention, but it seems like an insult to me that you compare us to Arabs or French. Nothing personal, sorry if i am wrong. But know that if you say this to an ordinary Turk, they will take it as an insult. Now I will prove to you that we are not Arabs or French. The word you wrote as "ijilhen" is probably the word we use as "itilen" meaning= "pushed". Atilgan = Atılan = Being thrown at, or the one who jumps forward. So being pushed and thrown are essentially similar. The word you use as "Tsetseg" is written as "Çiçek" in us. Its pronunciation is "Chichek". Doesn't it mean anything to you that the two words you gave examples are in today's Turkiye-Turkish? We were already Ottomans(Ataman) 500 years ago, the westerners gave the name Turk. They called the place we live as Turkia. Because although we have forgotten, we are Turkish. They know better than us for sure. Westerners have a habit of recording history in writing. We didn't have this. We carved some things on stones or somewhere else. But it was never enough. Today, some Turks hate you (for fighting against Islam) and some sympathize with you (like me) because your pastoral lifestyle reminds us of our ancestors. Not everyone is "from the city" in Turkey. It certainly has its equivalent in Mongolian. In Turkish, two different groups are defined as Urban and Villagers. (Köylü-Şehirli / Obalı -Şehirli) I think this debate has existed since the beginning of history. Villagers are more dependent on Customs (Töre-Tigir) . Urbanites are more likely to assimilated by foreign cultures. There are still many people who live pastoral life, keep livestock and keep horses in Türkiye. I don't want to get into a religious debate with you. I just want to explain some things. We are not all Muslims. And many of us live by blending Islam with Tengriism in our own way. The name of our ancient god is "Tengri". We were never shamans. Shamans were common people in Asia. The real Turkish follows "Tengri". It has no gender, lives in the sky (In universe). Oghuz kaan deported the shamans to the east, to present-day Mongolia, just as you said. This is how the Arabs sold their religion to the Turks. They said that Tengri and Allah are similar. If you read the history a little bit, you will understand that not "in fact" Turks have become Arabs, but that Arabs and Iranians have become Turkish, and even the caliph was a puppet of the Turks. These events took place during the Seljuk period. Selcuk bey was actually a Tengriist. It was the yabgu of the Oghuz confederation. After they became Muslims, they established a great empire, they did not do anything different from what your ancestors wanted to do (red apple-golden apple-the unreachable goal-world domination.) Because in the time of Oguz Kaan (some say that he was the Great Hun Emperor), there was a belief that the Turks dominated the world and this should be experienced again. You saw and recognized the remnants of the Seljuks as the Harzemshahs. But I don't know if they give information about Turkish history in general in Mongolia. You tell me about common ancestor and history. We Turks know that we are descended from a common ancestor with the Mongols, or at least close enough to be called cousins. Today, when I watch the Mongolian festivals, when I see the wrestlers, it is difficult to distinguish them from those in my own country. When you speak your language slowly, I can understand some sentences. First explain why your great khan of half Turkish origin killed the Cuman-Kipchaks. They had a completely different phenotype than you, but your commander, Subutay, also knew that they were genetically close to you. This is something I am particularly curious and sad/mad about. Turks and steppe people have never had a single ethnicity. The Turkish image you see in the TV series, I'm sorry, but it existed in Mongolia 2000 years ago. It is true and natural that our phenotype has been influenced by elements such as Greek-Slavic-Iranian-Arab. In the work named Cami'üt-tevarih, written by Reşidüddin Fazlullah between 1304 and 1316, dedicated to İlkhanlı Han Olcaytu Han, the author of the book explains the concept of Türk, based on their dispersal over a wide geography, that the Turks were Oghuz called Turkmen; After stating that Kipchak, Kalaç, Kanklı, Karluk and others belonged to them, and that their dialects were close to each other, he also noted that there were differences among all of these Turkish tribes due to the conditions of the places they lived. In addition, he brought the Turks directly from the descendants of the son of Noah, in accordance with the conceptions of the period. The reason for this is that the Oghuzs were very influential in the Ilkhanid country at that time. So, can you explain why you look like Chinese? If only you've read the Orkhon inscriptions in Central Asia!

The word "HU" in Mongolian means Human, and "Hunnic Empire" meant "Human Empire". And when somebody asks what is your origin? We would say "Hunnu". It is an ancient Mongolian word for "Human". Both "Turks and the Mongols" refer their ancestors to the "Huns" or the "Hunnu". The Hunnic people didn't care about race etc bcse it was not important for them or something that troubled them. So they would mix with others easily along the campaigns.

Some of you said that these names are common in Turkey and a few other examples. To the question, was it always common in Hungary or just recently became a popular name? Yes, it was always common, and its considered a very old name here. There have been many great and leading figures in Hungary called these names. The Huns were a mix of different ethincs groups, part modern Hungarian, part modern Turkish, etc.

@sneksnekitsasnek Well there have been people called Attila since the foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom (1000 AD) and even before that. As I just wrote in my other comment there are historcal figures in Hungary's history called this. Attila as a name got especially popular at around 1800 and then reaching its highest point around 1960-1970 when it was the 6. most common name in Hungary. So as said it was always popular, but it got even more so in recent decades. Its still very common today. As for the name Elek it was much more popular back in the time. The further back you go in history the more common it gets. Nowadays its not that common anymore, as more and more parents choose the names which have a western origin and are just made to sound more Hungarian. There is also a smaller town called Elek in Hungary btw.

Atilla's grandfather name was Uldız (Uldin) which in Turkish Yıldız, means Star. It's came from an old Turkish epic. According to an epic, Oghuz Khan who ancestor of nomadic tribes, has 6 children, three of them celestial other three terrestrial. Celestial boys names: Gün (Sun), Ay (Moon), Yıldız (Star) Terrestrial boys name: Gök (Sky), Dağ (Mount), Deniz (Sea) Some founders changes their name and choose one of them for legality. For example Genghis name was Temüjin but he change his name and choose Çengiz, it's mean Deniz in Mongolian. Uldız (Uldin) did same thing. Now a question, why they take little brothers name? Because in nomadic culture tent belongs to little boys. So they mean - we are the real heir of Oghuz Khan.

Genghis/Tengiz/Cengiz etc doesn't mean the "sea" in Mongolian. The source of that title is highly debated and one suggestion is that he got that Turkic name and Han/Khan (ruler) to signify he is the ruler of everything, but there is no certainty. Also Oguz Khan epic as you said is an epic and there are many variations of it and none of them are certain, even if he actually existed. While there is a historical link with the Huns and Pro-Turks/Turkic tribes, it's not proven that Huns are in fact Turks

@@merd209 indisputable is a very bold claim for something that is heavily disputed. I'd be happy to check your resources for a concrete evidence. Everything you mention to be "compatible with Turks" is plausible to relate Turks to Huns but it could be that they all were a part of the Hunnic nation along with other tribes and had heavy influence on each other. It could even be that population wise Turks were more dominant and could have had more influence but it's very difficult to pin point the origin. As a similar example, for decades many scholars from Turkey and around the globe had a theory that Turkish and Mongolian were in the same language group but then the theory got debunked and it was accepted that there is a heavy influence over each other due to living in close contact for a long time but not enough structural connection to suggest they form the same language group. Again there would be substantial amount of culture and language similarities with Mongolians but it wouldn't be valid to say Turks = Mongolians. Also again it's only a variation of the epic that it's about the Hun leader Mete and Atilla is not a direct descendant of Mete.

Good video in tying together a number of elements in Hun origin and history. I suspected the Huns had an Oriental origin when I saw"Xiongnu" translated as "Huns" in several translator apps. Your description was the simplest and clearest concerning the origin of the Huns. I hope you do future episodes with the Magyars and the Goths.

Thank you Kings and Generals, you are one of the best , putting real history documentary that matter. Atilla the Hun gets very little attention than it should. From the east to the northern Sea he united the various tribes of Europe that were militaristic and fighting with Rome, Hunnic invasions also let the eastern militaristic discipline adopted by Goths, Alans and Norse Confederacy for example.

I just love it you used Total was: Attila Hun theme.

In 16 minutes I learned and retained more information about the Huns than books, other videos, and tv episodes about the subject could ever do. I hope you guys become mainstream mainstream one day!

The illustrations of this video are amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for a great video. always love watching. I heard many crap stories about the origins of the Huns. Everyone interprets it in a way they like. I think your presentation is the best, very impressive. Articulating that link existed between the Huns and Xiongnu would probably be disliked by many )) This explains the blue spot found on the back of newborns of some Europeans ;-)

Sensational stuff as usual from you guys. I knew of the legend with the stag but I never heard of the one with the cow :)

Today still there are so many people in Hungary and Turkey who have Attila's name.

In Hungary the name was introduced in the 19th century by orientalist fashions. In Turkey the name was introduced in the 1930's by the turkish reform. So originally neither of these countries had that name.

In Turkey they teach us that the Xiongnu was basically the asiatic huns and atilla etc were european huns edit: for some people in the comments thinking that they teach us atilla was turkish. : they dont teach us that atilla was turkish, they teach us that he was one of our ancestors. We learn that Mete Han (modu chanyu) was our first leader, the story of him is identical to Oghuz Khagan which is the semi-mythological leader of Turks,considering the European Huns are xiognu that migrated westwards, then yes Atilla is our ancestor.

Thank you and I like this video.

The european Huns used germanic straight swords. The best infantry was the gepids in Attila's army. And the gepids were a german tribe, and manufactured great straight swords. The Sabre is better against less armored enemies, but the straight swords are better against better armored enemies like the romans.

The sword cult was foundational to gothic culture from the Baltic. Tyrfingr is the old Norse name for “a certain sword” that became a mouth prop for the bound Fenrir wolf. This myth relates the process of taking the warrior spirit to become socially beneficial alchemists like Chinese myths of the Stone Monkey King trapped in Buddha’s Palm in a mountain called “5 Element Mountain.” Snorri said that Tyrfingr was a Kenning for any sword, and it means “Heaven’s Finger.” Jews use the finger wand of God to turn the pages of the Torah. Tyrfingr was the Gothic Excalibur, as the stone is the spine down which the wolf spit, called “hope,” drips. It’s the cerebral-spinal fluid dripping down the spinal cord from the brain.

The name of the first king of Hunnu was tumenshanyu. There are many people named tumen in Mongolia. Hunnu is also a Mongolian word. DNA analysis was also done on many graves of Hunnu people from Mongolia. It has been confirmed that 68.8% are similar to Mongolians. Also, Luut city of Hunnu was found in Mongolia. Luut is the Mongolian word for dragon in Mongolian. It has also been confirmed that the appearance, culture, traditions, and lifestyle of the Hunnu people are similar to those of the Mongolian people today.
