The Huns: Yes.
You did it wrong and it bothers me, even though I shouldn't care.

Should have put that.
White Huns are different to Huns, Huns are mongoloids, the Hephthalites
are Aryans related to Iranic groups.
"the spoken language of the Hephthalites was an Eastern Iranian language, but different from the Bactrian language written in the Greek alphabet that was used as their "official language" and minted on coins, as was done under the preceding Kushan Empire.[20][21][22]"
"White Huns" is a modern name given to them.
This is Afghan style. Fight against the whole world if necessary without fear
@@papazataklaattiranimam I don't think so.
Papaza Takla Attıran İmam most muslim turks have arabic names now does that mean they are Arabs? Ottomans used persian as the official court language and use Persian titles like Shah...does that make them Persian? So how can you claim the Hepthalites ruling class as Turkic just based on names? Lol

Also Göktürks: Wait, what...
That’s illegal
I wish I had thought of that😆

@Amir Timur In Chinese Sources, White Huns(Hephthalites) were recorded as 嚈噠. However, depending on which Chinese source you are referring to, the conclusion might be different.
@@sulaimankhan3457 to say 100 percent iranic is really really questionable
Their aristocracy spoke PARTLY irani but the majority of their people and even big parts of the aristocracy not
And even if they all spoke irani, it means nothing
The mamluks spoke arabic but were mostly turkic too
Or is the whole european aristocracy until the time of nationalism latin because they spoke latin
Dont mix your nationalism with history
Your people are not less worth because they lost some conflicts
Every nation did
And that they survived until today is a bigger success than conquering some land or defeating some enemies
I really like the art style that was used in this video
Happy to hear that :-)
I feel like the art style really took off lately. The Tecumseh video was beautiful too.

@@papazataklaattiranimam The Hepthalites got destroyed by Ashot the Iron.
The modern Abdali tribe of afghanistan are there descendants.
Franz Fridl the 1st I heard of the Hepthalites
We're making a feature film on this era, we did some hard research with half a dozen professors; so I'd like to give some perspective on these steppe powers. *Hephtalites* aka "Ak Huns" were of the same lineage of the *Great Hun Empire* that contained China and found hegemony. As Attila's forebears moved west with their clans, creating a tidal wave that swept across Europe, there were also clans and khanates that remained. Hephtalites are one of those powers, that chose to dominate and control *Sodgian* trade routes (proto-Silk road). But the simple fact remains that the nobility of Ak Huns, the Rouran Khaganate, *Gokturks* and even the northern Chinese Turko-Sino dynasties (like Xianbei) were *all* related patrilineally. We must note, however, that the ranks of statehood were different. Gokturks and Rouran were *Khaganates* ruled by a *Khagan* which can be transliterated as Empires ruled by an Emperor; whereas Hephtalites were a *Khanate* ruled by a *Khan* which is analogous to a Kingdom ruled by a King.

I can't wait for this film! I hope it'll be available/subbed in English. But watching this video I was wondering if there were any Hephtalite clans in the Gokturk Empire, or if they just got overwhelmingly pushed into India or absorbed. Maybe I just missed something. The video was pretty explanatory.
@kurgan That makes sense. Thanks :)
As Ibn Khaldun pointed out centuries later, settled people are soft due to luxury and nomads are tough and wild and when they settle they too become soft.

They are usually good at destroying stuff.
Not so good at actually building something lasting, metaphorically speaking.
It is just an oversimplified answer

Adib i agree
Adib We had gunpowder but it was more effective on foot than horse you’re right
One million kudos points to you for immediately explaining that the word 'Hun' meant a political grouping and was not a specific race of people. No-one has ever found the remains of an ethnic 'Hun'. 'Hun' was a cultural word used primarily by Central Asians to describe their affiliation. Well done - almost every history gets this wrong.
finally, one bright head among commenters, author of the video made a mistake calling them Huns(hans) instead of Huhns (hoons)
you will also find it very interesting that among current turkic nations exists tribe whose name is Arhun, sounds almost similar, doesn't it?)
If you go deep enough all ethnic groupings are originally and genetically speaking, political-identity groupings. Ethnogenesis happens almost exclusively through political coalition helped by the liquid-like movement of languages.
So it's like the word Arab?
@Uğur Kaan Komanlı turks or mongols? Which one? Cause turks and mongols are not belongs the same race they are different races.
@Uğur Kaan Komanlı Turks are a political grouping themselves from the get go. There's no such thing as a "genetic" Turk; at the start, as Chinese historians have attested Gokturk coalition (citizens of which adopted the name Turk) consisted of Mongolic looking and Iranic looking elements.

@Khazar Khanate Archer yes... Turkish people are assimilated-people who were originally Greeks, Persian ,arabs,etc. who were cnverted by Selkuk turks to being turkic during the 12 or 13th century. Shame they change their names to turkic names and speak a variant of a turkic language. They abandoned their languages and culture.
Its like British India becomes British people , changing their names to English names and speaking a variant of english.

Excellent video as always! Only one thing I would like to point out, that Gurjar Pratihars never managed to get a hold of entire north India, and never set foot in eastern parts. They were engaged in a 3 way deadlock with Rashtrakuta dynasty from South India and Pal dynasty of eastern India. A struggle to control the entirety of north India that weakened all three powers over time.
Snehaditya Ghosh mihir bhoja was the greatest ruler of out dynasty and he did conqured pala and rashtrakuta lands in his time
@@paranjaybagri2345 yeah, but he didn't manage to sustain it I think. I am not sure if he conquered the original seat of power of Pals, Bengal. They were succeeded by Sen dynasty, who lost it to Muslims. But nonetheless you're right, at one point he did sit on top of the food chain, and probably made it closest to full control of north.
VIRAAT SANATH mahipal gurjar did defeated the palas
In the final battles
After that pal dynasty fell into rebellions n anarchy
So its clear who got the upper hand
But it can be that palas have won more battles against us
But in the end we were victorious
Prit Singh get your facts clear
@Arun Kumar probably because most of the records got burnt in Nalanda
Beautiful animations and great content, please keep it up!
Really enjoyable and valuable video. Valuable because it emphasizes the Huns who had a great impact on persia, and northern India, and are almost never mentioned in popular culture. Having read briefly about the hunnic attacks in Indian school history book, I was suprised later when the Huns under Atilla never were at Indian borders. Only today I got the full picture and it's really satisfying..
Pratiharas arose as a resistance to Huns and later Arabs and turks
Pratihar,Palas and Rashtrakut Dynasty fought relentless wars durind 8 th and 10 th Century AD for the Possession of Kannauj called Tripartite Struggle.Can you make a series of this struggle.This struggle is as fascinating as Byzantine-Sassanid war of 602-628 AD.
Of course they can, you just have to support them on Patreon.

History is nothing to be embarrassed from. It’s something to learn from to make sure it doesn’t repeat.
You must be living under a rock or naive, hx always repeats and is cylical
That’s the problem with humans we never learn from our mistakes
Whenever we invent something or discover, we relapse into annexing
Oooohhh. Not enough content out there about the Hepththalites. I love this.
@Vedprakash Meena they are huns though.....
Did you know to this day the word "Gavat", which originated from persian king Kavad, means the man who sells his woman/ or someone who is middle man for corrupted affairs in Turkish.
i just realized that during the video and it is really interesting :o
Wow! It even influenced some Arab lands too. We do call a man who sells his woman "Gawwad"
lmao had nk clue gawwad was part of it.
In Persian, it's not KAVAD. in Persian that is Ghobad. its nothing like KAVAD

Thank you so much! I haven't heard much about Heptalites before even though my own mother is from Altai. Interesting how this little but sacred place (Altai) gave birth to so many great warriors that created huge empires. Gokturks, simply Blue Turks were also from Altai, initially known as iron workers and smiths.

I do not get where the narrator got the " The Huns probably beat Skandagupta" from. Even Wikipedia says all evidence points to the fact that Skandagupta beat back the Huns soundly.
"The Bhitari pillar inscription dated 455 CE states he beat back the Hunas."
"The Junagadh inscription, dated to the year 138 of the Gupta era (c. 457-458 CE) mentions Skandagupta's success against the mlechchhas (foreigners)"
"A sentence in the Sanskrit text Chandra-Vyakarana (c. 7th century) states Ajayad-Gupto Hunan, literally, "The Gupta conquered the Hunas"
All of these are contemporary sources, and why would the Huns let the Guptas make victory pillars in their domain.
Read about the alchon huns .the huns conquered areas of the South asia like the punjab gujrat Rajasthan and across northern subcontinent..

Frankie Fontecchio no one cares dude
Sassanid's trying to replace the princess with a low born girl. Really bold move.
One that back fired horribly.
Actually, sometimes ancient Chinese emperors did similar things, too. Fortunately for them, it never back-fired.
Vincent Celeste yup and when it did backfire the whole country was put to the fire.
@@TheManofthecross Well, I think either Chinese dynasties or nomadic khaganates collapsed during a century-long interval so no one cared about this or it was just mere luck. Still, not all princesses were fake or lower born. There were real princesses during the heqin.
@@FlashiestRed It's hypothetical in history so I couldn't comment. What I could recall was during the reign of a certain Wusun Khan, he happened to marry two different Han princesses. (Though I believe in reality, those 2 princesses should be regarded as duchesses since they were not direct relatives of the ruling Han emperor, but rather granddaughters of some revolting brothers of the previous Han Emperor. )

Skanda gupta didnt drew out the huns but he defeated them twice, second time giving them a major blow that they did not attack India for next 50 years. This was the period, their attention was diverted to sassinid and other domains. Finally when buddha gupta (successor of skanda gupta) died, Empire was struck by succession struggle and the far stretched regions declared independence leading to almost no resistance in northern India. But when the same mihirkula entered further down, was defeated by narsimhabala gupta in alliance with prince yashodharman of malva after which the huns never attacked.
@Timothy Callanan Well the second invasion was by large hun army(so have I read-not from the internet but books). Initial battles where when skanda gupta was prince could have been with smaller hun raider parties/armies. Second, while he was king was fought on a larger scale.

The Hephalites were vassals of the Rouran Khaghanate. The Hephalites even borrowed the title Khan. The title Khan was originally a Rouran one. The Gokturks were once Turkic vassals of the Rourans but rebelled and overthrown them. Once the Gokturks Khaghanate was established they went into alliance with the Sassanids and helped them push back the Hephalites. The Avar Khaghanate is hypothesized to be the fleeing remnants of the Rourans.
These historical accounts are intoxicating. Thanks for the information.
I never understood how the Hungarians can believe that theyre descendants of the Huns. The Magyars came to Hungary 400 years after the Huns had dissolved and even back then the polulation in the area was already established, it didnt change much until the Magyars came. All they did was adapting to their language.
I tell you a secret, nobody in Hungary thinks that we are the descendants of Huns. The english name HUNgary came from the mistake they thought it hundreds of years ago, we don't call ourself that way.
Every nation has its mythology.
@@janosb5885 ıs that why are you keep building statues of Attila and trying to get closer to Turkic people? Even your president Orban joined Turkic Council. Stop playing anti-Turkic shit, you are just trying to find an id for your people, you are not slav. So you are trying to prove that you are Turkic people. We all know that you are not european actually bro so, know your origin 😊
@@daredevil3098 there are not only slavic and turkic people exist in the world. Our president says whatever his economical or political interest is, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t have any problem with Turkic people. But Attila was in this territory 400 years earlier than our tribes arrived. Anyway nowadays Hungarians are a mix of hungarians germans slavic and also turkish people.
@@janosb5885 A lot of people believe in Hunnic origins, read Gárdonyi. In fact the most recent DNA studies by several global laboratories underline the origins exactly to the white Huns. Do your research. Today's population of course is a mix with neighbours.
I am just in awe how many nations were either founded or ruled by The Turkic people
@ZeroWolf Learn history dipshit , there is no such thing as "Anatolian Turks". All Turks originate from Asia and the ones in Anatolia came from Central Asia.
@Woiller- Relic yes i know. I meant the first original ones
@ZeroWolf are you braindead?
@Woiller- Relic fuck your greek focused propaganda. Turks conquered Anatolia in 1071 for the 7th time and not first. Graves were found in southeast Anatolia with turkic way of graves. Even their bones were analyzed which were 3,500 years old and a 90% match with today's population.
Yeah actually I’d really amazed when I realised that.Turkic people were so good at fighting and so that’s why they created lot’s of kingdoms and empires.
I think they were really badass 😅
A great event you forgot to include which was quite similar to the case of Western Roman empire and their germainc allies defeat huna king attila - Yashodharman, Maharaja of Malava created a confederecy of Indian king include guptas and other kings to fend off hunas which resulted into mihirkula's defeat at' battle of sondani ' in 528 ce which toppled down hun from North india. Also yashodharman's father prakasha dharman also defeated the torana huna king to protect malava and central india.
Obviously the author is biased so I am not surprised why he forgot this great event.
😲 Wow! You learn something new from this channel. Very educational. I knew about the color code system the Hun tribes used until I watched this video.
Your videos are amazing !! How do you make such animations ?
Thanks! After Effects, mostly
Today I realized why India never opt for foreign lands invasion .
That's coz they've been subject to foreign invasion & barbarity since time immemorial
@@arkadeepkundu4729 because the land was already prosperous and the adjacent lands were barren wastelands ensuring that they kept to themselves.
South Indian kingdoms colonised South East Asian countries. That's why you have hindu temples in cambodia and bali is hindu.
They did. I believe the buddhism that spread by ashoka to egypt and far till georgia must not been a peaceful one. Some tribes must have revolted.
@@ebenezerassemblychurch not sure they were invasions. South Indian kings "bought" the Pacific islands by means of trade influence.
The meaning of the Hun is people or folk. Huns aren't only Turks. They are have many etnic group but majority Turks.
The Turks are says black to north. (West - White), (South - Red), (East - Blue). For example; Turks say "White Sea" for the mediterranean sea. The black sea is a "black sea" and the red sea is a "red sea". :D
Damn now that you say it... so cool!!
The founders and rulers of these Hun empires were Turks
Great stuff!⚔
Great video. Excellent history.
Are you guys planning to do video of Hideyoshi Toyotomi's Samurai invasion of Korea?
