Quote:I saw some deformed skuls in the Budapest Meuseums bu they are ascociate with Mongols if memeory serves me right.
Priskos who was sent as ambasador to Atilla is our main source about Huns.
He describes them as "mongolid"
He says that Huns cut deeply the cheeks of the babies to prevent them for growing facial air. Possibly I think it was a type of facial scarring like tatoo.
The pre-Roman step Kurgans have yielded mongolid dead with elaborate face "tatooing".
Prokopios made a distinction between Huns and "White Huns" as v being different nations.
Kind regards.
What is the difference between "Black Huns" and "White Huns"? 8)
