Скачать или смотреть White Huns Uncovered: The Mysterious Empire That Shaped Asia’s History

Step into the forgotten world of the Hephthalite Empire, also known as the White Huns—a powerful and mysterious force that once dominated Central and South Asia during the 5th and 6th centuries CE. In this full-length historical documentary, we uncover the incredible story of a nomadic confederation that challenged empires, shaped civilizations, and left behind a legacy far deeper than most people realize.

While the Western world remembers Attila the Hun, few have heard of the White Huns who crushed the mighty Gupta Empire, defeated the Persian King Peroz I, and ruled over territories spanning modern-day Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, and India. Emerging from the steppes of Central Asia, the Hephthalites were more than raiders—they built cities, controlled Silk Road trade, adopted Persian and Indian administrative systems, and supported diverse religions including Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Hinduism.

This video delves into:
