Khan's Den: Turkic and Steppe History

Were the Huns Yeniseian or Turkic? Featuring CopperAxe


Listen Later

In this episode, Copper Axe from Musaeum Scythia and I delve into why the Xiongnu and Attila's Huns did not speak Yenisean and were not a Yenisean people.


This serves as our rebuttal to Svenja Bonmann's and Simon Fries' June article, where they theorized that the Xiongnu and Huns in Europe were Yenisean rather than Turkic at their core.
