Quote:Greetings,Interesting link, according to it the Hephtalites would be Iranians and their destruction marked the start of the turkic rule in the eastern steppes
Atilla was described as being short, swarthy skinned and broad chested with a big head and small eyes. His sparse beard was flecked with grey...
he wore 'Scythian' clothing and used Scythian weaponry, although not so elaborate as others had.
Whatever he looked like...he was probably no Gerald Butler....lol
This site covers 'White Hun' coins [url:41w2ok6w]http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/huns/huns.html[/url]
and this is a direct link to The Hephthalites...[url:41w2ok6w]http://spotlightongames.com/variant/maharaja/eph.html[/url]
The descriptions of the 'original' Huns, which seem to be aside from those of Atilla, sound like a prehistoric hunter gatherer tribe who had little or no contact with other peoples.
