Things You Didn't Know About Atilla the Hun

- Who was Attila the Hun? Attila the Hun is known as the most prolific killer of the Early Middle Ages. But the facts about Attila's life are much more complicated than that. Born into the royalty of a small but ambitious steppe tribe, Attila and his brother Bleda were groomed for a life of combat. They ascended to control the Hunnic Empire, and were soon at war with Rome.
Information on Attila the Hun is hard to come by and often biased. We know he was an innovative general feared by his enemies, but did you know that his conquests were instrumental in founding the city of Venice? Or that one of his greatest invasions started with a possibly fraudulent marriage proposal?

As bad as Genghis Khan and Attila were, I admire that they were able to keep their grave sites a secret for this long. Unknown to them, they've saved their bodies from being uncovered and put in some museum like they're just some antic and not people.
Hey Weird History! I'm still loving your channel-- just the perfect mix of humor and history😍😘
You’re one of the best sources of reliable history. Keep up the great work!
@1:49 "In a real telephone game situation..." - Awesome line!
And factually true.
@2:00 - Priscus really knew how to describe Attila the Hun's appearance clearly and simply!
I can’t unhear Max Miller of Tasting History joking that Bledda bled-a to death. 😂
It's now agreed over that the Xiongnu, European Huns, & White Huns were a common Hunnic people whereas their ethno-linguistic affiliation is presumed to be Oghur Turkic
Reconstruction of the Turkic Jie language, spoken by the Jie people, a Xiongnu tribal group

boklug-gu tukta-ŋ
English translation : When/as the army goes out, capture the Boklug (a chief) !
The Hunnic inscription on a dinner plate belonging to the last ruler of the Huns, Dengizich, was identified as Turkic. The Hunnic sample of Khan Diggiz plate ;
kinkeg dikkiz ükü essä - kijü sax sax saxynil gür täηrig
English translation : Beware of king Dikkiz the Wise's blow ! Retreat to the Tengri (God) beyond the world!
@2:12 - The dwarf warrior Gimli in the Lord of The Rings Trilogy was played by John Rhys-Davies, who also played Sallah in the Indiana Jones franchise.
A+ video!
Another fantastic Weird History video!
(also the images in this one were even better than usual, and the bar is set pretty high!)
As a hungarian I am telling you that Budapest naming is from Buda and Pest, left and right side of the Danube. Nothing similar to what was mentioned “Blada” or something like that. Jesus…
Shed blood of millions of people died choking on his own blood on his wedding night... ironic

Alanis Morissette understands irony more than you do.
Ironic my favorite word.
@1:07 "Rug" is the nickname of one of my friends, given to her by her sister.
Awesome voice acting!
I would like to know more about Zhu Yuanzhang, the one who defeated the mongol Yuan empire and created the Ming dynasty. He should be one hell of a guy.
@8:25 - Very helpful explanation of the tactics and strategies the huns used!
Many thanks for another great video full of surprises and interesting facts.
Have a great day and stay safe,
Joe
I'd like to hear about Chile's Janequeo, a Mapuche warrior and tribal chief who fought against the Spanish in 1587. As well, any additional ancestral history of female warrior rulers in S. American is something I've not heard yet. Thanks for this piece on Atilla and coregent brother! So interesting that I'm going now to look at this history.
Damn. Thanks for the info
Love this channel
💛 all your videos mate👍
@9:12 - I used to work in Ravenna, Nebraska, a town named after Ravenna.
I worked at Midwest Dairy Farmers, a cheese factory.
............ Looking Around for TimeLine News................... Thanks for another great Video
Attila the hun is deserving of a Netflix Series. Minus the Netflix part
PS: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Give us an update on Season 4 of the Timeline Series!
No you don't. They will make him a gay transgender,will also race swap everyone and have them all love 10 year olds like Netflix's cuties.
No thanks. Netflix would portray him as a disabled black woman.
No, don't let Netflix ruin it!!
@@Kainlarsen Yeah you're probably right
Can you do a video on Australian bushranglers or British highwaymen?
"Attila" is likely a Gothic corruption or even nickname given by his Gothic subjects. Presumably his actual eponym was "Avitohol", ancient Turkic title used by Eurasian Oghur tribes like Hunno-Bulgars which either translates to "Son of the Ancestor" or "Son of the Deer", totemic animal of the Huns
Alcohol means son of a good time in my people's language
doubtful that Priskos, who actually met him, was using just a nickname
I also can't remember Priskos giving such a detailed describtion of his appearance - he only mentioned riding around with Attila, some banquets and several times hints at his humble character
...tho he associated him with the "Scythians" and never with the also present Goths or other tribes of the hunnic federation
Sounds like hohols
Nice video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
I've visited different sights and places where Atilla the Hun frequented while on a visit to Russia
@3:23 - I look forward to when the tradition of the video store comes back.
It is such a great experience!
@1:18 It's incredible how quickly a culture's history can be forgotten if there is no written language.
Or movie cameras and tape recorders to make recordings of the events.
Have you guys looked into the history of Astoria in Oregon? Look up what happened to the fur traders and the Astor family that tried to start the colony out there back in colonial times. Their crazy story ends with a suicide explosion of their own ship with dozens of native Americans on board. Such a wild story to get to that ending tho. Def ripe for a video
I'd like to know more about General Corbolo. He famously said "AXIOS" as he fell on his sword to avoid a civil war when Nero sent people to arrest him. Axios is a term often said in the Halo universe. I also know Corbolo was so feared that when an army heard he was on the way they would surrender immediately... Please tell me more. My son loves Halo and this info is all I found out for him eight years ago.
I'm a fan of all Weird History videos... but for realsies... when is Timeline coming back again?
Do one on Napoleon Bonaparte and Vlad the Impaler
just the perfect mix of humor and history 😊😊😊
@5:36 - When we lived on the countryside in Midvale, Nebraska, we had a tv with rabbit ears similar to that.
We only had three channels which often displayed snow or very poor reception.
My favorite shows were Scooby Doo, Sesame Street, and The Fall Guy.
@7:55 - "That's Amore" (1953) was a major hit and signature song for Dean Martin.
It was on the Moonstruck Soundtrack (1987), a film which earned Cher an Academy Award for Best Actress.
It was also on the film Grumpier Old Men (1995), a film that included Sophia Lauren (who played Honoria in the 1954 film Attila).
Just about anything you could tell me about Attila the Hun was something I didn’t know. I live in the American Midwest.
Question: What do Atilla the Hun and Winnie the Pooh have in common?
Answer: They both have "the" same middle name.
😜
So Attila the Pooh or Winnie the Hun?
Interesting
🏆👍🏆!! Besides always being Well Researched/ Organized/ Presented , These Episodes are Extremely Entertaining !! The Nephews I have on the other Coast coordinate with me - we ALL watch them ( and Comment- Laugh- Have Great Debates!) together on our Teli-Zoom! Like my many other Nieces & Nephews, they always say, “.. Why can’t OUR School Teachers show us these Episodes once a week- “… instead Uncle N.B. Of the CRAP they Force down on us!! “ !! Smart Kids!! God Bless. 👴🏽NoBody🎞️s.
His narration is 💥💥🔥🔥
Hella interesting. Never knew those!
@5:39 Those wild Nissin Cup Noodles with Arnold Schwartzneggar are unforgettable.
Attila the Fun - my new punk band’s name.
Missed the opportunity to say "atila the fun, go conquer that subscribe but-TUN"
Actual lol when you said they didn't even rewind their videotapes. My God...they weren't even kind enough to rewind!
The academic 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, Kutrigurs, Barsils) are of evident Oghur Turkic origin

Donat / Donatu = horse; from Turkic Yonat
Edeco = good; from Turkic Ädgü
Ellac = to rule; from Turkic el & lä
Emmedzur = horse lord; from Turkic Ämäcur
Eskam / Esqam = companion of the shaman; from Turkic eŝ & kam

Wow, thanks for sharing your knowledge on the "Huns" and their culture.
The Huns were Americans . Came over on ships and conquered Rome and Europe . Idk why you nationalist Turks think everything is Turkish
They were Xiongnu of Northern China, related to the Mongols. Even the Hungarians agree on this fact. Language means little regarding ethnicity
@@cd5433Huns were not Turkish but Turkic. Just like Bulgars. Turks, Bulgars and Magyars share a common anchestor - Proto Turkic.
Bulgar, Magyar, Avar, Avshar, Tatar (see a trend there?) and many others once belonged to the same tribe.
I found it odd that Genesis and Attila’s graves met the same fate. Covered over by a river.
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
This time eating HAMBURGER HELPER CRUNCHY TACO (from The Weird History Food video "The White-Gloved History of Hamburger Helper") with parmesan cheese and drinking Cafe con Leche...while watching this Weird History video!
Since you're asking for options of other miltiary leaders of history, I would love to see a video on Sun Tzu!!
How about Dwight Eisenhower when he was a general during 2 world war.
BORING 🥱
Interesting 🧐
@7:41 - "...he went right to work demanding his dowry, half of the Western Roman Empire." - WOW!
AND THAT WAS JUST TO START WITH 🙃👁️🇬🇧🤔🤌

@4:32 - There is a meme with an image of Bill and Ted that says I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST TED TALK...IT WAS MOST EXCELLENT.
I'd like to hear more about Bertrand du Guesclin :-D
Can you look into Napoleon
@1:34 - "When I Grow Up" by Garbage, off their classic album Garbage 2.0 (my favorite college album), is on the Big Daddy Soundtrack.
Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage, said she had a crush on Adam Sandler and was thrilled that he called her to ask if he could include the song on the soundtrack.
@5:05 That reminds me of the classic music video "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion.
I have probably watched that video 100 times.
It's All Coming Back To Me Now was the title of the film Love Again (2023) before it was retitled. It is Celine Dion's acting debut.
Two games make me love Attila:
"Sometimes, I miss it" (Age of empires 2)
"Attila was born in dark and despair!" (Total War: Attila)
I read it as Alita now I’m thinking of Alita The Battle Hun lmao.
"The cup of noodles of Atilla" 😂
Well, some people think noodles were invented by Steppe peoples, though not necessarily Huns. (-:
A little bit of an error at around 2:40, emperor Valens died in a battle against the Goths, not the Huns
@9:17 - NBA superstar Julius Erving, AKA Dr. J, was famous for his tomahawk dunk.
He customarily wore the number 32, a famous number that has been retired by at least seven NBA teams.
Could you do a video about Canada?
You spelled Attila wrong.
Please correct the title typo: not Atilla but Attila. Thank you.
As a Canadian I would like to see you do one on Laura Secord. Her 20 mile journey was amazing and helped us win the war of 1812.
A true badass. You don’t have to be a good man to be good at being a man.
He was not a badass, Attila got what he deserved
@10:42 - That is extreme when a grave is covered by a river!

I would like to hear about Alford Packer the Colorado cannibal
@1:34 - We played "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns N Roses for prep band in Junior High and High School.
It is covered by fellow University of Missouri alumni Sheryl Crow (Grand Marshall of Homecoming) on the Big Daddy Soundtrack.
@8:23 Risk was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2021.
Toys inducted into it are culturally bulletproof.
@0:08 The tv series Moonlighting (1985-1989) with David Addison Jr. (Bruce Willis) and Madolyn "Maddie" Hayes (Cybil Shepherd) partner at the Blue Moon Detective Agency.
- It was "one of the first successful and influential examples of comedy drama, or "dramedy." (wikipedia)
- "In 2007, the series was listed as one of Time magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-Time." (wikipedia)
Pointless comment.. & moonlighting = ignorant
the first known Turkic expansion is identified with the polyglot Xiongnu (Hsiung-nu) empire ca. 3rd c. BC - AD 48, mostly based on the interpretation the language of the so-called Jie couplet included in Jin Shu, a history of the Jin dynasty period (Shiratori, 1900; Benzing, 1959; Tenišev, 1997; Schönig, 1997-1998; Dybo, 2007; Janhunen, 2010).
More than a dozen readings of the Jie couplet are available in the literature, and most of them iden- tify its language as an early Turkic variety. Those include the oft-cited reading by Ramstedt (1922), who based himself on Shiratori (1900) and was followed by Bazin (1948) and Gabain (1949).
Fun Fact: His friends did NOT call him 'Hunny'.
Not for long, anyhow.
They called him “Hunny” cause he was so sweet you know. 😊
Please make a video about Emma Goldman!
Pannonia's territory is nowadays Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia. Not balkans. Balkans situated more to the southeast.
In American oversimplified geography, typically the entire Balkan Peninsula including Greece (but mostly focused on the former Yugoslavia as a wellspring of chaos and conflict in 20th century history) as "the Balkans," not just the mountains. Of course a pastoral people like the Huns would as a general rule have preferred good pasture lands (flat, mostly Steppe) to alpine areas, but it is still (mostly) SE Europe.
I would love to hear your take on Shaka Zulu
@9:40 "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
Don Corleone, played by Marlon Brando, in the film The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola (1972).
I want to learn about famous people, like musicians, that were in the military. I went to the same combat medic school as a serial killer. Kinda neat, unless i turn out to be a serial killer then its weird. Or something
I'm sticking with the motorcycle theory
He would marry his daughters to Kings or Leaders of Counties and then soon after the Husband would be called to serve in The Army. Leaving his daughter to rule that Country.
CAN YOU PLEASE SPECIFY OF THE MAN YOU REGARDING AS THE AMBITIOUS FATHER THIS COMMENT SECTION WENT SOUTH WITH TONS OF UNRELATED COMMENTS 😔 PLEASE SIR🤌🤔🧐🤦👁️
@@poocabraxi Atilla the Hun, would marry off his daughters.
Nobody out-Attilas the Hun.
It’s easy to forget that the real Huns are the friends we made along the way💀
@0:59 The film The Social Network (2010) is about the founding of Facebook with Mark Zuckerberg as the protagonist.
At the 83rd Academy Awards, it won three Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing.
"The spiritual sequel to Big Daddy" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pls pls do a video on Khalid ibn walid
Please please please do one on the Russian naval admiral Robert Viren please 🙏. He is my great great great uncle.
My guess is Atilla simply got tired of life on the road and died of boredom.
ESPECIALLY SEEING HOW MUCH FUN THE ROMANS HAD AT LIVING COMFORTABLE AND CARE FREE MIXED WITH MADNESS 😄

G'night Hun.

Attila the Hun was someone that you DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT TO PISS OFF...

Please do Margaret Thatcher
Could you please talk about the war between China and the Mongols?
That would be a plural. Which one(s)?
I thought his wife called him “Hun”! He thought that sounded pretty good so…
