Scientifically Proven That Attila Was Not a Barbarian

One of the greatest commanders and rulers in history AttilaIt does not have a very good reputation in the international community. Many history books say that this ruler, who brought so much of Europe to his knees, was a “barbarian“. Because of this, even the Turks, along with the Huns, are sometimes referred to as ‘barbarians’.

Research conducted at Cambridge University has revealed a striking truth about Attila, the ruler of the Hun Empire. According to the research, Attila did not invade Europe because he was actually a barbarian. The main reason for what happened climatic conditions of that time. Yes, you heard right. The reason why Attila took an aggressive attitude during his 19-year reign, in the 400’s was the drought.

“Attila made attempts to invade so that his people would not starve”

According to many history books Attila, his warrior personality, the desire for land and gold was attacking Europe. Cambridge University research has shown that this is not the case. in the Great Hungarian Plain oak trees Scientists, who set out from the ground above and examined the growth rings of these trees, succeeded in revealing that the region experienced very serious climate crises in the 400-500s.

According to the information obtained, the drought in the region caused the Hun Empire to be between fixed and nomadic life. preference forced it. Because the Hun Empire adopted a sedentary lifestyle and engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. However, the drought experienced due to the climate had ended agriculture and revealed the need for greener grazing land for animals. It was precisely for this reason that Attila felt the need to expand in Europe. What happened is not barbaric, was the result of famine.

Huns skeletons confirm the findings.

The last is not the only study of the European Hun Empire. Archaeologists in the past examined the skeletons and new research by the University of Cambridge confirms previous research. So much so that the examinations on the teeth in the skeletons show that the Huns used different food diets during their lifetime. that they adoptedshowed that they easily adapt to the foods that are the easiest to reach. That’s why Cambridge University research is so important.

Researches made according to statements made by archaeologist Susanne Hakenbeck It might be true. Saying that climate change fundamentally affects societies, Hakenbeck states that people can make decisions that can change everything in critical processes such as famine. But for the research by Cambridge University to change the history books, needs to be supported by further research.. It is unknown at this time whether that work will be done or not.
