    Wanted to get this out there - for all the truly hardcore Attila junkies. Over 3 and a half hours of the history of Attila the Hun. The video I kept in SD or else this would have been 4 -6 hours to upload, and I figured it was an audio only item. Enjoy!

    THANK YOU.
    I love the passion for history I’ve found among the YT community, and this podcast knocks it out of the park. The level of detail is just perfect-if people need more, that’s what books are for :). I’m a professional historian and I think you calibrated this correctly for a listening audience, whether they be new to the story or old Roman history hands . The drama is in the push-pull from East to West and you captured it beautifully. Cheers!
    I hope you have spent time in Budapest (I assume you have since you’ve been to Istanbul and Rome). Every other Hungarian guy is named Attila. They have a proud legacy and a non-Indo-European language that is the direct legacy of all the events you describe here. It’s fascinating and still very much alive ❤️❤️

      You literally cannot understand the world without understanding history. If the US did, it would never have invested a dollar in trying to create a functional Iraqi government. The islamic sectarian violence and fundamentalists in the ME - which eventually incited “global war on terrorism” 🙄 - has roots that are literally 4,500+ years old. Assyrian campaigns of conquer and its collapse multiple-millennia later, created a large scale tribal feud across the levant, which simply acquired new names as time passed. Before they adopted Islam, the same people who would later become sunni and shia already hated each other.

    I have quite literally listen to and watched tens thousands of CZcams videos and of course skimmed most of those. I've heard and watched hundreds and hundreds of narrators and hosts. You sir, whoever is the narrator of this video, is simply the most outstanding narrator of them all! Your voice is clear strong and very listenable. Your knowledge, your depth of knowledge of the subject matter is extraordinary. Your style in which you relate the information is compelling and entertaining. As a as I lay here in bed listening to your video parentheses that's normally how I digest so many videos, I literally go to sleep with them and the parentheses. So this is the most fascinating narration about the history of Rome that I have ever listened to. I look forward to listening to the remainder of this video. I am at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark. I discovered your channel totally by accident. And I certainly hope you have many more historical videos for me to enjoy.

    The Huns to me always sounded like some fantasy antagonist but way more terrifying. They are this unknown group of warriors that worship a war God and can blitz through territory like butter. But the best part of their story is that they where so powerful they got the Romans and Barbarians to work together, which is something I never thought possible.

    Atilla means aytilla, means Golden moon, his sister's name gaylin means gulan, his tribe name munjuz, means thousand heavy, all the names currently names exists in Central Asia, perhaps Atilla hun escaped by bullying white huns, or black huns but black huns would be uighurs, white huns would be uzbeks, some east side of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan. In the end they could be Crimian tatars, Gagauz, or other turkic people.

    A very enjoyable podcast! While I enjoyed it all I especially enjoyed part one as it puts a lot of things into perspective. When you study ancient Rome the word barbarians gets thrown around a lot, and you can't help but see a lot of Rome's enemies as foreign conquerors trying to get their piece of the crumbling roman pie. The fact that many of them were people trying to build a new life for themselves among the Romans that only became hostile due to Roman's elitism or at times their ruler's insanity is something that a lot of people don't understand.

    "How many people are called Attila today?"
    Well actually it is a popular name in Hungary. That's becouse Hungarians used to consider themselves as the descendants of the Huns, and it is stil a popular myth in the collective memory. I heared that Bulgarians also like to think of themsleves as descendants of the Huns, and many Central Asian peoples think highly of Attila.
    Medieaval Hungarian chroniclers commented on the Hunnic atrocities, that "every great nation births from great violance, so did the Romans, so did the Macedons, etc". And indeed it really depends on the point of view. For a long time the whole world considered Napoleon a villain, a "world robber", except for the French. Westerners have this hateful memory of the Huns becouse they suffered from their campaigns, but they don't have such memory of the Mongols, becouse they didn't have direct contact. Even though the Mongols had the same ruthless, genoicidal war methode.
