- 1.The Huns
By: Mark & Connor
2. Map
Begin expanding around the 4th century. Atilla the Hun took power
in 434. The Huns took power over most of north and eastern europe.
When Atilla died, they scattered and eventually folded into the
later people of Europe.
3. Hun Background
The Huns began expanding in the early 4th century.
They first took over the Alani people in the Caucasas
mountains.
Atilla the Hun took charge in 434.
They took over most of Eastern Europe and The India and the Middle
East.
When Atilla died, the subjects of the Huns revolted and defeated
them.
The remains of the Huns then morped together with the later
inhabitants of Europe.
4. Social Structure
The Huns were very blood thirsty people. Genghis Khan led them to
take over small nomadic tribes around Asia, then they moved on to
bigger countries. By the time Genghis Khan died, The Huns had taken
over most of eastern and central Asia, and had killed around
40,000,000 people. After Khan, came, Atilla took power and led the
Huns through most of Europe. Then Atilla died and they broke off.
They want off to northern Europe and built homes. They were a major
part in the creation of the nation of Hungary. Hun-gary.
5. Housing
Huns were nomadic and didnt have time to build large houses. They
generally lived in yurts, which were sort of like a large tent.
They were made of easily accessible materials and were quick and
easy to build. In the upper right corner is an example of what
Genghis Khans yurt could have looked like. In the lower right is
what a average soldiers yurt would look like.
6. The Fabulous Life of the Hun and Famous
Like many ancient cultures, the society was divided by poor people
and rich people. Poor people struggled to stay alive, while the
rich had wonderful houses, tons of food and of course lots of
money. The richest people in the hun society, were the tax
collectors, priests, and the high ranking officials. An example of
a very rich man is Genghis Khan. He was very famous for leading the
Huns out of Asia and to conquer lands as far away as Korea. Here is
an example of what his house would have looked like.
7. Food
Most people dont know this, but the Huns invented Steak Tartar. The
story goes that Tartar meant fear or scared in many of the
languages of the nomadic tribes of Asia, and they would eat the
steak before going into battle. So they began to refer to it as
fear steak or Steak Tartar. The Huns ate many things, but sometimes
they ate raw meat to stay alive. They also had as many indigenous
foods such as sweet corn, pumpkin and squash.
8. Family Life
In a average Hun family, the man was in charge and he would work
for the money and have to serve in the army. The woman would stay
home and take care of the kids. She would also cook, feed the kids
and care for her husband. Like quite a few ancient civilizations,
it was mandatory for the men to serve in the army. Many women had
to re-marry because lots of men died in battle. You could also have
more than one wife. Atilla had over seven wives.
9. Marriage
The Hun men were allowed to marry as many women as they wanted. It
was considered the more women you were married to, the more manly
and strong you were. They would also have lots of kids because they
had many wives. They had celebrations for marriages but they were
not too formal. There was usually food, and drink, and there were
usually soldiers at the wedding.
10. Childhood
The childhood of a hun was very interesting. In cities like Sparta,
the men were taken away to a military school very early. In the hun
culture, there wasnt really a military school, but they were taught
usually by there father how to ride a horse and use a sword or a
bow and arrow. Once they were older, they would either join the
army, or start a career as a politician or a shepard. The women,
were taught how to clean and take care of children.
11. Childhood Comparison
Childhood was very different in the time of the huns compared to
mine. The children of the huns had learned how to use bows and
arrows. The only time I have ever used a bow and arrow was at an
archery practice. They also had to join the military in there
teens. In Canada, you arent even allowed to join the military until
you are 19. The huns were nomadic and had to grow and hunt food for
themselves. I too have a hunting ground. Its called my fridge. And
if there is nothing in there Im out of luck.
12. Education
The huns were nomadic, so none of them really had formal educations
like in schools. The only things they were taught were how to fight
and how to survive. They didnt even have really strategic war
tactics. The huns solely relied upon there large numbers. The Huns
were taught how to kill. Even the politicians were blood thirsty.
The Huns because of this are considered barbarians.
13. Religion
The Huns did not generally have a religion but Atilla the Hun did
believe in magic and spirits, so that made everyone else believe in
them too. He also claimed He also spoke of the so called Sword of
Mars which he wielded. He claimed it was a gift from the Greek God
of War and that the god favoured him over the romans. They used
that to make their enemies (especially the romans)
frightened.
14. Clothing
The Huns were from Mongolia, which was a very cold, very
mountainous and dry country. They had long cold winters and short
summers. Because it was so cold, they made lots of coats of pelts
from animals. They usually made the coats from rabbit fur, and
sheeps wool. Here is an example of what a typical fur pelt coat
would look like for a hun in the winter.
15. Art and Music
The huns never had art festivals, or anything very celebrated. They
never cared for anything like music or art. The little music they
had were war drums, and some Chinese folk songs. However, the women
of the hun tribes were usually skilled in weavery and sewing for
they had to make all the clothes and sew the coats for the family.
They also made things like baskets, footwraps and even helped with
the skin for the yurt.
16. Festivals
The Huns did not have any festivals. They did not spend much time
in one place, and were only focused on the next thing ahead. Once
Atilla was killed and the huns dispersed throughout Europe, they
probably adopted the holidays and celebrations from the Europeans
such as christmas.
17. Conclusion
In conclusion, the huns were a very barbaric and blood thirsty race
of people, but in the long run, they took over a great part of
Asia, all of eastern Europe, and were feared by all. Even the
Romans. With leaders Genghis Khan and Atilla, they led their army
to victory!
