The Huns are part of Europe’s rich history. The direct Hunnic impact on Europe as it stood around 370 was massive. Attila is one of the few names from antiquity that is still instantly recognised. Three famous experts on the Huns – Otto Maenchen-Helfen (1973), Edward Thompson (1948, 1996), and Mischa Meier (2020) – contributed significantly to our knowledge, but they failed to answer the five most important questions on Attila and the Huns:
– Which was the native country of the Huns?
– Where are the capitals and tombs of Attila’s royal ancestors – Uldin, Charaton, and Ruga?
– Where did Attila’s decisive Battle of the Catalaunian Plains really take place?
– Where is Attila’s lost capital?
– Where is Attila’s legendary tomb with his fabled Sword of Mars?
This book provides answers to each of these five questions, while also solving other mysteries – the identity of the enigmatic river Drecon, the name of the village of Attila’s sister-in-law, and the true course of Attila’s Gallic campaign in 451 and his Italian campaign in 452.
