Quote:I was thinking about the Origin of the Huns, so I was looking to see if any of the names in the histories of the various steppe peoples he has listed coincided with older texts, particularlyHi Evan, have you read “The World of the Huns" by Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen. He writes on Acatziri & possible Turkiic links & some of the other Steppe tribes. He does a good job pointing out misconceptions about Huns from Roman sources. Unfortunately his work on Hunnic swords is incomplete as he was dead when his work was translated to English & unfortunately his section on swords was unfinished.
