Huns – Magyars: The Military Culture of Magyars and Its Related Peoples

In history books today, Atilla is presented as a short, stocky barbarian and Magyars are presented barbarian hordes, who conquered the Carpathian Basin in AD. 896. This album helps to dispel this concept. We can see the military strength of the Scythians, Huns and Magyars and the dexterity of the horse-archers. The Scythians were the first to develop the composite bow, which could shoot up to 800 meters and they developed the use of trousers and boots suitable for life on horseback. The representations of the ancestors of the Hungarians are based on descriptions from historical documents and archeological data. This book is important because it traces the history of the equestrian peoples and demonstrates the connections between the Sumerians, Scythians, Huns and Magyars and the Hungarians of today.
