What on Earth Happened to the Huns?

Just what on Earth happened to the Huns; possibly one of history's most infamous group of marauding nomads who wrought chaos and conquest throughout Central Asia and Europe? The Huns have gone down in Western history as one of the most brutal, savage and fearsome opponents of the Roman Empire, but where did they originally come from and what happened to them after the days of Attila?
In today's video, we're going to be looking at the origins of the Huns and other Eurasian nomads who invaded Europe from lands afar, and see just what happened to their descendants from a genetic, political and cultural point of view. Thanks for watching!

"Ladies and Gentlemen! The Turul is an ancient image the ancient image of the Hungarians. The Turul is belong to our blood and to our soil. The Turul is the symbol of the Hungarians living today, the Hungarians who have already died and the Hungarians just to be born. The Turulbird tells us that there is only one Homeland, that can unite all the Hungarians within the Trianonborders and beyond. From the time we are born as Hungarians, our seven tribes form a blood alliance, our Saint István king establishes a state, our armies lose the battle at Mohács. The Hungarian is a worldnation. The Nationborders and the Trianonborders do not coincide, consequently millions were scattered outside of our thousand years old accommodation. We come together, we usually erect a Turul to ourselves, to find answers to questions such as who we Hungarians are, what we can do separately, and what we must do together Ladies and Gentlemen! Today is St. Mihály's Day! This is what Scripture gives us today. There was a battle in heaven: Mihály and his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon and his angels were defending, but they could not resist and there was no room for them in heaven. Mihály and his angels overthrew the great dragon, the prodigal who is the devil himself, the Satan, who seduces the whole world. His angels were pushed back to the ground and crashed together with him. We do not know the means of the fight, we do not know the circumstances of the fight, we only know the result of the fight. There was no place for Satan, because Mihály, who is love, service, and serenity, did not leave him any. I mean, any place."

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Chuvash people, not directly descendants of the Huns but probably the closest living ethnic group. It's theorized the original Huns probably spoke a Turkic language of the Oghuric branch,as well as Pannonian Avars, Bulgars and Khazars, and there was another group known as the Onoghurs who probably were descendants of the original Huns themselves. Mongolic languages seem to have a very old Oghuric influence dated before the Hunnic arrival in Europe which was replaced by Common Turkic after their migration. Mongols descended from the Xianbei people, who were neighbors of the Xiongnu, confederacy which may have gave origin to the Huns, these Xianbei lived in Manchuria before and later extended into what are now Mongolia and Northern China. The Huns were pushed in the west where they absorbed and brought many populations in Europe, however after their fall many Turkic populations pop out, probably brought by the Huns or part of their nomadic Confederation.

[@abanereizei204]

The Cossacks originally were a military class from the Ruthenian part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, mostly dominated by the Ruthenian Orthodox (aka Ukrainian) people and organized by the Orthodox Ruthenian nobility. There's some speculation as to how they started, with the most probable possibilities being either that they were remnants of the Orthodox Cuman resistance(which was quite fierce, but not well-documented in English) against the Golden Horde or simply the border guard against the Tatar raids, during the colonization of the depopulated by the Mongol invasion Central and Eastern Rus lands, which was organized by the Ruthenian Orthodox nobility from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The first official organization of the Cossacks - the Zaporozian Sich, was established by a Ruthenian magnate Dmytro Vyshnevetsky. Also, the Russian Cossacks, originating from Don, are famous as the cavalarymen. The Ukrainian Cossacks were mostly seafarers and infantrymen.

[@letsspeakhungarian6626]

OMG you should learn more about the huns. They were not barbaric people going against civilization. They had very high knowledge, were more civilized than most people around them . Sadly there is so many wrong information out there. Like in this video. The magyars did NOT come from the north and they WERE hunic related . In the carpatian base there was always a core population related to huns. This population was pulsing between the west and east. You can call them Avars, Magyars , European Huns, Asian Huns or Santa Cause, they were the same people, same family if you like. During the time and during the long distances they may have mixed with others or had some changes but still they were carrying the same ancient gene, culture. And magyars are NOT finno-ugoric origin.

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

​@@letsspeakhungarian6626 Some pretty strong revisionist folktale history there. The Huns were documented by Romans and Goths alike to be unspeakably savage and irreligious. The Mongols gained a similar reputation 700 years later, along with their notable administrative, cultural, and legal accomplishments that stand out in history. You missed the part in the video where they addressed this with DNA evidence. The Franks and Romans annihilated most of the Avar successor presence in the Balkans. Magyar DNA is not the same; Hunnic does present as a Turkic language or at least some type of Altaic, with Germanic names in some leaders. Not saying that steppe or any neighboring peoples don't mix. But the Slavs, Goths/Cumans, Iranic Bulgars (that we know were not originally Turkic from DNA testing) all joined the Greeks, Dacians, Illyrians in the Balkans for hundreds of years before the Magyars, with a distinct language and Uralic DNA, began making incursions into the area. The Magyars did not have the same reputation as the Huns and I don't know why you would want them to. They were seen as highly effective lightning horse nomad raiders that kept much of Eastern and Southern Europe guessing for decades. The movements of the hybrid Gepids are much better documented as are the latter movements of the eastern White Huns leading up to the Magyar invasions as well.

What happened to them? they are still alive, their name now is called Szekely (Szeklers), living in Transilvania, modern Romania. After Attila was poisoned, his sons started a civil war, which weakened the huns position so much in europe, that their german, goth, avar, alan, and other subdued clans did revolt against their former masters and succeded in defeating them. One of the last surviving sons of Attila, called Csaba, settled his people in the easily defensive territory of inner transilvania, surrounded by mountains. After that he went east, to find the brothers of the Huns, called Magyars, and to ask for their help. He went for that journey, but never returned. However the Magyars came, found the Szekelys where Csaba left them, still surviving and thriving, and they were integrated into the newly found Hungarian Kingdom. The rest is history, but even until today, the Szekelys differentiate themselfs from other hungarians, even though their language is the same.

Ripping this from a dude on Masman's reddit- Basically the Huns weren't Xiongnu. Nor were they Uralic Magyar. It's kind of like how the Mongols conquered the Tartars, and the Europeans confused the Mongols for Tartars because there were several Tartar levies in the Genghis Khan's armies. Only in this case the Europeans confused the Huns for Magyars and the Chinese confused them for Xiongnu. The Huns were an Avesto-Tokharian people, who conquered the Steppe Xiongnu and later several of the proto-Magyar Uralic peoples, and incorporated members of both groups into their armies. Unlike the Magyars however, the Xiongnu lost their homelands before the Hunnic Empire collapsed, and once it did they were unable to find a new homeland. This resulted them in being assimilated by groups such as the various Tunguskics, Mongols, Manchu, Mandarins, Hui, Uralics and so on. They disappeared swiftly as an independent peoplegroup after Attila died. Conversely, we know for a fact that the Bulgars subsumed the Western Huns and there were several hybrid Hunno-Bulgar kingdoms for a while, the Khuni/Chuni Huns were eventually intermarried with Turkic peoples to birth the Kumyks in the kingdom of Djidan about 300 years later, and the rest were subsumed by the Khazar Kaghanate. Basically,the main way you can distinguish between the three groups is that the Magyar still exist as an unadultured culture and peoplegroup in the modern era, Hunnic culture still exists but only as part of hybrid traditions amongst the Bulgarians and Kumyks, while the Xiongnu only exist as genetic predecessors, with their culture being almost entirely wiped out.

[@smalltarpan]

Great job, I like your video! One thing I dare to correct is the Magyar´s name given by the west - Hungarian, Ungar, Hongroi etc - it comes from the Onogurs, a tribal confederation which partly integrated into the Magyars in the Pontic regions (onogur means ten arrows). However, the Onogurs were related to the Bulgars, they all being in some line connected to the Huns. Dr Török and dr Neparáczki investigated the genetics of the Magyar conquerors and found out that they were in 30-40% of East-Asian origin, presumabely Hunnic. The explanation that the Hungarian legends according to which they descended from the Huns were written on demand so that they could claim former Hunnic territory is not logical. This is a popular, ideology-based view which degrades the tradition as some tale gving it no credibility. The legends are geographically quite plausible, they describe the Black Sea region, the mixing with the Alans etc. It´s quite possible that at least the Magyar Árpád dynasty was from the same lineage as Attila, hence they preserved the tradition.

[@attila3231]

In what language is Onogur in 10 arrow? On-ogur on-10 in Turkish, ogur has no interpretation in Turkish. Josephus Flavius azt is írja: „Magóg és Hunor népei az áradás óta itt vannak. Területük Spanyolországtól a Tanais (Don) folyóig húzódott. Magog megalapította az ő nevű magarjait, amelyeket a görögök szkítáknak neveznek. ”Ennek az ősi rokonságnak a tényét hangsúlyozza az a tény is, hogy az etruszkok, mielőtt a mai Közép-Olaszország területére (Umbria, Toszkána) költöztek volna, a Kárpát-medencében, a Duna-Balkánon éltek.

Ironically the Chinese dubs of Mulan did actually call the Huns, Xiongnu. Also with Shan Yu's name being a alternative spelling of ''Chanyu'' the title given to Xiongnu leaders. I think Shan Yu's guys are supposed to be Xiongnu but Disney just called them Huns in the English version because Hun is an easier word for the English audience while Xiongnu would be more difficult to pronounce and understand. And probably because most non-Chinese viewers are more familiar with the Huns then Xiongnu.

The word 'Hun' simply means 'The People', and were an amalgamation of central Asian peoples, mostly speaking Turkic languages. The Turks are a mixture of Eastern Mediterranean, Celtic (!) Peoples on Anatolian plateau and Turkic-speaking peoples from Turkemenia. The Onogurs and Magyars mixed with the Pannonians and became Hungarians. Attila is a popular name in Hungary. Bulgars mixed with Thracians and Slavic speakers to form Bulgarian Khanate.

The Bulgars (also Bulghars, Bulgari, Bolgars, Bolghars, Bolgari,[1] Proto-Bulgarians[2]) were Turkic semi-nomadic warrior tribes that flourished in the Pontic-Caspian steppe and the Volga region during the 7th century. Emerging as nomadic equestrians in the Volga-Ural region, according to some researchers their roots can be traced to Central Asia.[3] During their westward migration across the Eurasian steppe the Bulgars absorbed other ethnic groups and cultural influences, including Hunnic and Indo-European peoples.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Modern genetic research on Central Asian Turkic people and ethnic groups related to the Bulgars points to an affiliation with Western Eurasian populations.[9][10][11] The Bulgars spoke a Turkic language, i.e. Bulgar language of Oghuric branch.[12] They preserved the military titles, organization and customs of Eurasian steppes,[13] as well as pagan shamanism and belief in the sky deity Tangra.[14] The Bulgars became semi-sedentary during the 7th century in the Pontic-Caspian steppe, establishing the polity of Old Great Bulgaria c. 635, which was absorbed by the Khazar Empire in 668 AD. In c. 679, Khan Asparukh conquered Scythia Minor, opening access to Moesia, and established the First Bulgarian Empire, where the Bulgars became a political and military elite. They merged subsequently with established Byzantine populations,[15][16] as well as with previously settled Slavic tribes, and were eventually Slavicized, thus forming the ancestors of modern Bulgarians.[17] The remaining Pontic Bulgars migrated in the 7th century to the Volga River, where they founded the Volga Bulgaria; they preserved their identity well into the 13th century.[12] The Volga Tatars and Chuvash people claim to be originated from the Volga Bulgars.

[@WatchmanofMKDN]

The Bulgarians think the Bulgars were a Balkan people who spoke a slavic language.

[@jimmypage2499]

Well thanks to the ottomans we may never know how wrong you are. As in this video there are some deeds given to the slavs that either did not happen or are largely misinterpreted. Their conquest at the hands of the Huns adding to their ranks are largely exaggerated where as the Bulgarians who actually warred alongside them are almost always never mentioned. The youngest of Atila's sons Irnik/Ermak actually inherited the Bulgarians to rule over. This opens the way to few misconceptions. The slavs and the Bulgarians just to humor the most popular theory aren't one and the same but slavs are credited as coming to the Balkans earlier despite some Bulgarian feats. The Romans themselves mention Bulgarians in the IIc. A certain individual speaks about losing the land and that Moesia(northen Bulgaria) belongs to the Bulgarians. Misionis rex Vulgares. However Paisii Hilendarski father of modern Bulgaria wrote a book and used references from other books and texts that the otomans had yet to burn when he calls out the Bulgarian people originally Slavonic who fathered and left the slavic branch in their pursuit to the ancestral land. The second misconception is the title of Khan. In St. Parkersburg there is an original copy from the 8-th c. of the Bulgarian Rulers and it begins with Kanas Avitohol who ruled from about 145 AD. and continues with Atila's son Irnik from the Dulos clan in the mid 5-th c. That same clan is attributed with creating Bulgaria in 681. but in that treaty the Romans recognize the enlargement of Asparuh's Bulgaria not it's creation. Every name that ruled over in Bulgaria has had the title kanas (Княз) no khans (Ханове) or anything of the like. almost all of the names in that list are iranic Kubrat his son Asparuh and his whole lineage including. Also in what world would you believe that Asparuh and his tribe numbering around 10 000 women, children and old folk included would beet a profesional Roman army numbering between 40 and 60 000 men a battle ready fleet and a very determined emperor? Obvously the local slavonic farmers further aded to his ranks and the romanized Thracians helped him but why would they do that? A large portion of our DNA can be traced to the Pontic steps that is correct. Paisii Hilendarski wrote that in the mid 18c that among the many ethnicities that formed Bulgaria was from the Cimerian tribes aka modern Crimea. those Bulgarians who claim to be decendent from Volga Bulgaria are from at least three oblasti (areas/states) with Tatarstan and Chuvashia the most vocal among them. Unfortunately they are a minority there and can not over rule the majority that are Tatars who themselves want a free tatar state in which they can rule themselves in.

Regardless, the word Hun - which is And English corruption; much like the word “Turk” or “Turkey” are English corruptions as well (Is not “Turkey”, it is “Turkiye”/ Iranian: “Tor-kee-yeh). Much of Ferdousi’s Shahnahmeh (Persia’s “Book of Kings”/ The blue print for Irelnd’s The Tain And on how to rescue your culture’s stories and myths in the face of a conqueror/colonial power/empire) spoke of the long struggles between the “Heroes of Iran (‘Homeland of the Aryan/Iranian) and Turan (“Homeland of the Turks; which was somewhere northeast of Iran).
