Was Attila the Hun a TUrk or a Mongol?

Is Attila over rated? What did he really do?
Darkblade
hes xiongnu or huns ~ not mongols or turks.
Dokbokki
He was asiatic Turk in background.
But recently discovered skulls of his armies had bulk of them were Mongolic skulls.

It's lot easy to say he's central asian.
Unholymarch
Turk/Mongols both have (or more like HAD) Mongolic skulls, these are tribal divisions which swallowed up and became an ethnic one. Huns are the ancestors all Uralic and Altaic peoples.

Is he over rated?

I heard he didnt extend the empire his father gave him, and he couldnt take Rome. All he did was rampage around the place being an @$$. The only reason his revered is because he was the last Hun to seriously kick @$$ so he seems kinda over rated.

Other barbarians actually took Rome like Vandals or Visigoths or something like that so where where barbarian people out there that where more bad @$$ then Attila.

What do u think?
Unholymarch
Attila could have taken Rome actually - one of the quirks in history.

Here's one source:
QUOTE
Attila returned in 452 to claim his marriage to Honoria anew, invading and ravaging Italy along the way. The city of Venice was founded as a result of these attacks when the residents fled to small islands in the Venetian Lagoon. His army sacked numerous cities and razed Aquileia completely, leaving no trace of it behind. Legend has it he built a castle on top of a hill north of Aquileia to watch the city burn, thus founding the town of Udine, where the castle can still be found. Aëtius, who lacked the strength to offer battle, managed to harass and slow Attila's advance with only a shadow force. Attila finally halted at the River Po. By this point disease may have broken out in Attila's camp, thus helping to stop his invasion.

At the wish of Emperor Valentinian III, Pope Leo I, accompanied by the Consul Avienus and the Prefect Trigetius, met Attila at Mincio in the vicinity of Mantua, and obtained from him the promise that he would withdraw from Italy and negotiate peace with the emperor.[7] Prosper of Aquitaine gives a short, reliable description of the historic meeting. The later anonymous account,[8] a pious "fable which has been represented by the pencil of Raphael and the chisel of Algardi" (as Gibbon called it) says that the Pope, aided by Saint Peter and Saint Paul, convinced him to turn away from the city, promising Attila that in case he leaves in peace, one of his successor will receive a Holy Crown[9]. Priscus reports that superstitious fear of the fate of Alaric—who died shortly after sacking Rome in 410—gave him pause.


He advanced quite far, but he was not fair or just like Chingghis, he just slaughtered everyone he wanted. He died drinking himself to death.

Now lets see. Attila (406 – 453), he was the leader of the hunnic empire which stretched from Germany to the Ural River and from the River Danube to the Baltic Sea. During his rule he was one of the most fearsome of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires' enemies, he invaded the Balkans twice, he marched through Gaul (modern France) as far as Orleans before being defeated at the Battle of Chalons. He refrained from attacking either Constantinople or Rome.

In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. In contrast, some histories and Chronicles lionize him as a great and noble king. Like Chinghis Khan.

Many experts think they may have been Turkic people, descended from the Xiongnu tribes that menaced China as early as the [ 5TH CENTURY BC ]. however it can be said with general agreement that they may have been a confederation of Central Asian and European tribes.

some peope in europe describe Attila as .

short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head, his eyes were small, his beard thin, and he had a flat nose and tanned skin.

Attila the Hun has brakisephalic skull.

Scientific proves that Anatolian Turks and XiongNu(Huns) have the same genetics today even after 2000 years.

http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/...3/ancient.shtml

Skeletons from the most recent graves also contained DNA sequences similar to those in people from present-day Turkey. This supports other studies indicating that Turkish tribes originated at least in part in Mongolia at the end of the Xiongnu period.

dear friend,
Attila was a real Turk, I can't get why people still asks if he was from another nationality... confused.gif
Before Huns immigrated from central asia,they had Big/Asia Hunnic Empire. After Huns immigrated to west under Balamir leadership, some other Turkic groups joined them, like Hungarian and Bulgarian Turks ( Macar ve Bulgar Türkleri). Balamir gave his mission to Attila during immigration. Attila's biggest aim was to get Western Roman Empire... He also got Vandals,Sakshons and Vizigoths help.. Attila attacked on Eastern Roman Empire first to cut down any possible help for Western Roman Empire, than Attila attacked on Roma...
After Attila died, his Europe Hunnic Empire collapsed down and Huns mixed up with Hungarian Turks , all Hungarians and Bulgarians then asimilized as Slavic and accepted christianity.
Now u know ,all Huns, Hungarians and Bulgarians were Turkic Groups coming from Middle Asia ............. Huns are of course Turks..
HUN=TURK ----> Attila is a Turk..

Now think about modern Turkish states, such as Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgzistan, Kazakhistan, Gagauzia(means Gok-Oguz Turks, in Moldovia) ... It was the same at the past, some Turks builded up Hunnic Empire,some Seljuk,some Ottoman Empire ,, but all of them were Turks...


Turkish dont have Mongolian genetics, a Turkish skull is belong to Europid Turanid skull shape -Brakisefal faced...Turks are caucasians.... and icon_smile.gif all real Turks and Finnish people has ''''sella turcica'' on their back head..

(turanid,Europids are Turks,Fins,Hungarians,Latvians,Lithuanians,Koreans and Japanese)
Turks are not Mongolian, but some Turkic Groups lived together and builded up so many states together. Mongols and Turks fighted together againts Europeans, thats why many European still confuse Turks and Mongolians..

I hope this explainiation helps u..

The Orhon Monuments tell about Asena centuries before the Mongols were known and also modern science connects it with Turkic people or rather their ancestors.

I dont believe that these are also the ancestors of Mongolian people since Mongolian and Turkic languages are too different and dont share basic vocabulary, e.g. the numbers or names of bodyparts. As a Turkish speaker I can understand an Uygur or an Uzbek but I dont get 1 single word in Mongolian. So Turkic and Mongolian are 2 distinct groups that influenced each other with language, culture

... and maybe with legends regarding their origin.

There are many languages in India and not all of them are Indo-European. For example Sanskrit is an old Indian language and related to Latin and Greek. Anyway it is closer to Iranian than to Romanic.

Here says,that Ashina had mongolian origin. Russian turkolog L.N. Gumilev.U"ll read it on his "Ancient Turks". That is a translation using on line.Not perfect indeed.

Descendants of a she-wolf. The knowledge of family trees and their special studying was long since characteristic for centralasian people . It is Thus rather curious that many of them named the ancestor of this or that animal. So, Mongols - a grey wolf and a fallow deer, Teleuts - too a wolf and the daughter of shan-yu of Huns, and Turks from Huns kings and a she-wolf considered as the ancestors and the Tibetians of the male of a monkey and a female rakshas (wood spirit). Two last legends have arisen very much for a long time, apparently even in dwelling of these people on southern suburb of great desert Gobi as the mythology is somewhat corrected by the facts of political history and etnogenez. Among the tribes won Toba people at conquest by them of northern China, there were "five hundred families Ashina" . These "five hundred families" have arisen "from mixture of different sorts" Shaanxis living in the western part, won in IV century at Chineses Huns and Xianbeys . Ashina submitted to prince Muganju of Huns owning Hesi (area to the West from Ordosa, between a bend of Huang He and Nanshanem). When in 439 Toba people have won Huns and have attached Hesi to empire Vej the prince "Ashina with five hundred families ran to Juan Juan people and, having lodged on a South side of the Altay mountains, extracted iron for Juan juan people" . The text narrates about an origin not all people ancient тurkic, but only their ruling clan. In this version of an origin ancient тurk anything legendary is not present. Apparently, Ashina was the leader of the small team consisting from , for some reason or other not got on in numerous Xianbey"s and Hun"s princedoms. Such small military units which it is impossible to name the states, constantly arose during a rebellious epoch III - V centuries and disappeared, without having left a trace. Chineses named subject khans of Ashina - Tyu-kyu. This word is successfully deciphered by P.Pelo as "the Turk +iuт", i.e." Turks ", but with plural suffix not Turkic, but Mongolian. In old-Turkic language all political terms are made out by the Mongolian plural. It gives the grounds to think that they are introduced in the Turkic language environment from the outside. The word" turk "meaned" strong, strong ". According to A.N.Kononovu, it is a collective name which has turned subsequently to the ethnic name of breeding association. Whichever there was an initial language of this association, by V century when it left on the history arena, to all its representatives interbreeding language of that time - Xianbey was clear, i.e. ancient mongolian. It was language of a command, a market, diplomacy. With this language of Ashina in 439 have passed to northern suburb Gobi. The word" Ashina "meant" a wolf ". On-turkish a wolf - Buri or Kaskir, and on-mongolian Shino or Chino" And "- a respect prefix in the Chinese language. Hence," Ashina "means" a noble wolf ". The word has remained in the Arabian record of this name of Shane . A question on that, it is how much lawful to name khans of Ashina , at a current state of our knowledge cannot be resolved
, but it is clear that the name "wolf" had for VI. huge value. The Chinese authors consider concepts "the Turkic khan" and "wolf" as synonyms, probably leaning against views of Turkic khans. Not casually a queen of Xianbey speaks about the husband, khan Shabolio: "the khan on its properties is a wolf" and in the instruction at an attack on тurks it is told:" That should use a measure: to drive nomadic and to attack wolves . The gold wolf head flaunted on Turkic banners , and, at last, in two legends about an origin of turks the first place belongs to the progenitress-she-wolf . For both a little legends that in them there is no hint on historical event - transition of a horde of Ashina from Gansu is characteristic. Therefore it seems legends have arisen on Altai and, maybe, have been created to prove specially the rights of newcomers to exclusive position. The first legend is curious that she knows about" branches of the house of Hunnu from the Western edge on the West ", i.e. about power Attila. This branch has been absolutely exterminated by neighbours; one nine-year boy to whom enemies have chopped off hands and feet has escaped only, and most have thrown in a bog. There from it the she-wolf has become pregnant. The boy all the same have killed, and the she-wolf has escaped to Altai and there has given birth ten sons. The sort has bred, and "after the lapse of several knees somebody Asjan-she with all tribes left a cave and recognised itself as the vassal of the Juan Juans khan". So, according to this legend, the Altay Turks-tukyu (тurkiut) occur from western Huns, but not directly, and miserely, via a she-wolf, and, if to consider that western Huns have been destroyed about 468, and Turks act as the people already in 545 it would be possible to marvel only to speed of their reproduction and alternation of generations! The second legend deduces тurk from a local sort With and besides she-wolves. All representatives of a sort With, on a legend, were lost "because of own nonsense" (in what it was shown, it is not explained), only four grandsons of a she-wolf have escaped. The first has turned in a swan, the second has lodged between the rivers Abu and Gjan under a name of Tsigu, and the third and the fourth - on the river of Chusi (Chui) in southern Altai. This legend is explained Н. And. Aristov who has compared From a legend with it come With at Kumandins - the North Altay tribe on the river of Bie, the first grandson has co-ordinated to a tribe Swan - ku-kizhi, and the second - with Kirgis, living between Abakan (Abu) and Yenisei (Gjan-whom). The grandson of the elder son - Asjanshe of the first legend. Here both of them are closed . Foothills of Mongolian Altai where fugitives have got, have been occupied by the tribes occurring from Huns and speaking in Turkic languages. With these natives combatants of prince Ashina have merged and have allocated with their name "Turks", or "Turkiut". The destiny of this word is so remarkable and important for our theme that it is necessary to give particular attention to this plot. The word "Turks" for 1500 some times changed value

Whatever origin there were those "five hundred families" which have united under a name of Ashina, between themselves they spoke in mongolian until peripetias of military success have not thrown out them from China to Altai. However centenary stay in тurkospeaking, certainly, should promote to environment fast change of informal conversation as "five hundred families" of Mongols were a drop in the Turkic sea. Probably that to the middle of VI century and members of a sort of Ashina and their companions were absolutely divided out and have kept traces mongolianspeakness only in тitul which have brought with itself. On the basis of the above-stated it is visible that an origin тюркоязычия and occurrence of the people which have named "Turks" "Turkiut", - the phenomena absolutely different. The languages nowadays named Turkic, have developed in an extreme antiquity , and the people "Turkiuts" have arisen in the end of V century owing to ethnic mixture in the conditions of a forest-steppe landscape, characteristic for Altai and its foothills. Merge of newcomers to local population has appeared so full that in hundred years, to 546, they represented that integrity which it is accepted to name ancient turkish a nationality or тurkiuts.

The Term Türk was made up in the 6th cent AD the term Mongol was introduced or made up after Cinghis Khaan (if i'm not mistaken)

Before those Terms there only were individual Tribes


First confederation were the Huns those who joined them were Huns those who didn't were just individual Tribes
Second confderation was teh Gök Türk Khanate those who joined received the name Türk

Turkic languages dont have a common plural suffix. And the language of the Göktürks is only one of them, but not the root of all.

Modern Turkish has: -ler and -lar, e.g. Mogollar, Türkler

Older Turkish plural suffixes as: -iz -Iz / -üz -uz / -an -en have become regular parts of words and are not longer used to mark the plural.

The suffix you mentioned "Türküt/Turkut" appears in a few old Turkic words but it is not a pure Mongolian suffix since old Tungusic languages also have it, especially for tribal names.

But i have a question: This "500 families" is a chinese thing. The Göktürks dont mention them on the Monuments. So where are the Mongols or their earlier tribes mentioned ? Are you the 30 tribes of Tatars?

Not any historical documents are 100% accurate, and Gumilev made some mistakes but his work isn't bad as a whole.

Khan = Ruler, Leader, King
Khagan = Khan of Khans

Thank you very much

Oh you talking about the Huns? then yeah Yabgu/Shanyu

Hmmm, you know sometimes I wonder why even when we introduced ourselves to Chinese as hun = human, they insisted on calling us Xiongnu. And it continued for centuries, instead of Toghrul, they called him Wang Khan. Is it because our language is just THAT different they refused to do $hit properly?

It's kinda like this:
You: "My name is Tujue"
Me: "Oh hey hows it going Borat!" icon_smile.gif

Tumen Shanyu was founder of Hun empire. Tumen means in Mongolian language ten thousand icon_twisted.gif

first Mongolian Tümen system = 1200's AD
first Turk Tumen System = 6AD

Hun Tümen system 500 BC
