[@RejectedInch]

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. He was a force that could only be sent by God himself. _Because who else could create something so divinely destructive?_

[@sol2544]

I was so confused because "Flagellum" refers to Whip, doesn't it? Caught me off gaurd immediately

[@Bethelaine1]

Scourge can be a verb and as noun. It could be seen as the whip of God, a punishment for perceived sins by the Christians and those who had not converted. It could also have referred to the Anti Christ. Christians were expecting the final battle at any time, they may have seen this as the end of the world. Again.

[@thrashingputz5163]

@@Bethelaine1 You're likely correct, coz the Huns were famously atheistic. It wouldn't surprise me that Attila announced himself as the anti-christ to spite the Romans.

[@AshleyDaySosa]

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.

What did Attila say to his wife after coming home from Rome? "Hun! I'm home!"

[@iagosevatar4865]

I shouldn't have laughed at this ..

[@Austrian_Butcher]

"Hunny, im home!"

I love this bald guy No religion critisism here Just interesting stories

[@ubberJakerz]

He's objective, and that's all that is required because religion criticises itself.

[@international-arms-dealer]

Well, he might not directly, in this video.. but he manages to give Christianity it's due in sly ways 😂

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“

[@myrodin1210]

Its interesting to think this is the same sinon who is the ultimate Blaze host in the Business, with co-host Eta/Charles. One minute hes Blazing and talking back and forth with Eta and the next he puts on the teachers jacket and informs us of things we should have learned more about in school.

[@cassandraralph5906]

Very interesting and educational video, I learned a lot about Attila the Hun, and I really thought I knew everything about this man! Thank you for sharing this video with us!

[@millercalen]

Was doing my genealogy recently and found him as one of my ancestors. Very interesting find and brought me to want to learn more about him. All of this was such interesting information!

[@Ryan-kn6xd]

How the hell did you find that out ?

[@millercalen]

@@Ryan-kn6xd easy when you have family that does tons of DNA tests and have connections to help you do your own research as well.

[@coryfice1881]

@@millercalenThat's funny cause the huns are notoriously hard to pinpoint genetically so you were probably duped especially if you did your own research.

[@vsGoliath96]

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.
