How devastating were the Huns?

I've heard they were on par with Mongols in terms of deaths and destruction. I've also been taught they've been responsible for the westward push of Germanic tribes and the expansion of Slavs beyond the Carpathians and all the way to the Elbe.

>How devastating were the Huns?

you answered your own question

Perhaps a more detailed answer?

...

The Yuezhi were not Huns. You're thinking of the Hepthalites.

Not as destructive as Indo-E*ropeans.

They get the credit for driving those thousands of migrators into the wre before attila even

Never implied they were, they're definitely relevant to topic though as they formed the elite class among the Xiongnu before their exile.

>After their previous overlords, the Yuezhi, migrated into Central Asia during the 2nd century BC, the Xiongnu became a dominant power on the steppes of north-east Central Asia, centred on an area known later as Mongolia.

That aside they've been associated with the Kidarites.

>adopts chariot warfare

Huns were not Slavs

Huns were Indo-European

can you substantiate your assertion?

Huna were definitely multi-ethnic.

They were multi-ethnic indeed, but their language can be classified as Indo-European.

They were NOT Turkic or Mongolian

Just another crime in the list of Indo-European crimes against civilization.

>list is in an Indo-European language

>using a Semitic alphabet

?

Didn't know Latin script was Semitic. By that logic it's Egyptian too.

Indo-European barbarians destroyed more advanced civilization wherever they appeared. Since the most ancient times.

>Shu-Durul appears to have restored some centralized authority, however he was unable to prevent the empire eventually collapsing outright from the invasion of barbarian peoples from the Zagros Mountains known as the Gutians.
>Little is known about the Gutian period, or how long it endured. Cuneiform sources suggest that the Gutians' administration showed little concern for maintaining agriculture, written records, or public safety; they reputedly released all farm animals to roam about Mesopotamia freely, and soon brought about famine and rocketing grain prices.
>The empire of Akkad fell, perhaps in the 22nd century BC, within 180 years of its founding, ushering in a "Dark Age"

>According to the historian Henry Hoyle Howorth (1901), Assyriologist Theophilus Pinches (1908), renowned archaeologist Leonard Woolley (1929) and Assyriologist Ignace Gelb (1944) the Gutians were pale in complexion and blonde.
>They also introduced horses to Mesopotamia
Sound similar? That's literally the first civilization - destroyed by steppe Indo-Europeans.

We have no idea if they were actually Indo-Europeans. They precede the first Indo-Iranian culture by about 100 years.

yeah like China...

>With the collapse of the palatial centres, no more monumental stone buildings were built and the practice of wall painting may have ceased; writing in the Linear B script ceased, vital trade links were lost, and towns and villages were abandoned. Writing in the Linear B script ceased particularly because the redistributive economy had crashed, and there was no longer a need to keep records in Linear B script.[5] The population of Greece was reduced,[6] and the world of organized state armies, kings, officials, and redistributive systems disappeared.
Greek Dark Ages, probably caused by the Dorian invasion (Mycenaeans had very little steppe admixture and they were civilized by Minoans).

>The Vedic period or Vedic age (c.1500 – c.600 BCE) is the period in the history of the Indian subcontinent intervening between the end of the urban Indus Valley Civilization, and a second urbanisation which began in c.600 BCE.
1000 years without cities or writing.

Cucuteni-Trypillia? Same thing.

Neolithic Britain?
>Britain’s Neolithic farmers (who left behind massive rock relics, including Stonehenge) were elbowed out by Beaker invaders. “To me, that’s definitely surprising,” says Pontus Skoglund, a population geneticist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, who was not involved in the research. “The people who built Stonehenge probably didn’t contribute any ancestry to later people, or if they did, it was very little.”

And then you have of course Germanics and their dark ages.

Phoenicians were Semites.

Don't forget about Egypt.

no shit, your logic is retarded. Greeks weren't Semitic. Minoans weren't either.

>b-but modern historians told me diversity is good and the Dark Age is a myth

...

>Harappa, Linear A and Vinca script finally deciphered
>it says "refugees welcome"

>This early Indo-European people that defeated m*Doids was genetically m*Doid
You wish

You can add the Bronze Age collapse to this list

N*rdoid are truely vicious pests
