The Mysterious Origins of the Huns Who Brought Rome to Its Knees

The Huns were one of ancient Rome’s most fearsome enemies. History records that they emerged out of nowhere in the plains of Hungary and devastated the region. In the fifth century, the Huns under Atilla built one of the world’s biggest empires. The glory of the Hunnic Empire was short-lived and it fell apart following Atilla’s death. Even today, many nations in Eastern and Central Europe claim the legacy of Atilla and his mighty Huns. But who were they? What caused them to appear out of nowhere in the Hungarian plains?

The origin theories later took a political turn sparking intense debate among scholars and the public. <a href="https://medium.com/teatime-history/the-mysterious-origins-of-the-huns-who-brought-rome-to-its-knees-d869acd2d817">Click Here</a>
