1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show, what would you do if you went

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: to buy a car one day? And they said, well,

22
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: we don't we don't sell cars anymore. And he said,

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, why don't you sell cars? Oh, nobody knows

24
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: how to make them anymore. I'm sorry, what now, you

25
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: you don't know how to make them? Sounds absurd, right,

26
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: It's stupid, it's not believable. But you have to understand,

27
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: you and I are both blessed extremely to live our

28
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: entire lives where technology only advances, it only goes one direction.

29
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: That is not the history of the world. It is not.

30
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Technology goes up and then it is lost, destroyed, whatever.

31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Then it disappears and it takes people ages to rediscover basics. Again.

32
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: The Greeks came across old ancient Assyrian cities and said,

33
00:02:51,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: how did anybody build that thousand years before them? And

34
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: you've heard of the Dark Ages fifth century to fifteenth century?

35
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Than the Dark Ages? And what does everybody know about

36
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the Dark Ages? If you know anything, it's a period

37
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: of time where learning went down, a period of time

38
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: where they would come across basics of Rome. They would

39
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: come across the Roman Colisseum, the Roman aqueducts. People would

40
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: have advanced people for their times and would say who

41
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: built this? How did you build this? Having no idea

42
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: how to get it done? None, because technology had gone

43
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the opposite direction quickly. It is so odd to think about.

44
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I've always thought it one of the oddest things because

45
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: we've never known that life. You've never known that life.

46
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: People have lived that way, people have lived knowing the

47
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: people who came before them were more advanced than they are.

48
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: And that is a difficult, difficult thing to picture. So

49
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: the Dark Ages, why did we have Dark Ages? What happened? Well,

50
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things happened, but one of the main

51
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: things that happened was a man named Attila the Hun,

52
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the whip of God, the scourge of God, whatever you

53
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: want to call him. Attila the Hun is a man

54
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: as responsible for launching, launching the world in the dark

55
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: into the Dark Ages as anybody else. Now, you remember

56
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: where we were, You remember where we were on Friday?

57
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: If you don't brief recap, real brief recap, because I'm

58
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: not getting into all that again. Rome is split it

59
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: up into two empires. At this point in time, we're

60
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: talking the year four the four hundreds, four fifty, it's

61
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: called four fifty Romans split up. They have the Western

62
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: Roman Empire and they have the Eastern Roman Empire. Eastern

63
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Roman Empire is you know Turkey, modern day Turkey. It's

64
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot more than that, but that's what it is.

65
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: And modern day Istanbul and we'll get back to that

66
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: is Constantinople at this time. And then you have the

67
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire, and that would be what you know

68
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: as Italy, France, so on and so forth. Both nations

69
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: are a shell of what Rome used to be. They're

70
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: both kind of on their heels militarily. They're not out

71
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: there conquering peoples anymore. They're in the process of being

72
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: slowly conquered as the barbarian people on their borders are

73
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: taking some things back. And remember it's a great lesson

74
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: for them, for you, for me, for all of us,

75
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: as the saying goes, be careful how you treat people

76
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: on the way up, because you may meet them again

77
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: on the way down. When you're a Rome, you can't

78
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: exactly expect a lot of mercy from barbarian tribes when

79
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: you start to crumble. Because the Romans had had their

80
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: foot on their necks for about a thousand years at

81
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: this point in time. So they're taking and they're taking,

82
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: and Romans trying to figure it out. Eastern and Western. Now,

83
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: remember they're not enemies. I'm not saying they're best friends,

84
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: but they have this we're both Roman mentality. Eastern Roman

85
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Empire is much more of a Christian Roman empire. West

86
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: is kind of moving that way. And there are two

87
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: names you really need to remember for today. There are

88
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: more I could dump into this story to make it

89
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: a little more detailed, but again, you don't you know,

90
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: I don't like to give you more than two or

91
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: three names. Obviously, you know Attila the Hun, and you

92
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: need to know Flavius Attius. We're just gonna call him

93
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Attius Atius. You need to know that name, so that's easy. Now,

94
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Attila the Hun is a Hun. What does that mean

95
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: to you? That means he is from the Asian Step.

96
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: He is from the barren grassy nomadic Asian step where

97
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Genghis Khan would rise from about eight hundred years after

98
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: this fact. The step is famous for tribes like the Scythians,

99
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the Parthians, the Mongols, the Huns, and they're all famous

100
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: essentially for being incredible horsemen. They're almost all entirely mounted,

101
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: and they have incredible bows. Now, what makes a good bow, Well,

102
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things to it, but just

103
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: know this. These bows, the ones the Huns used, they

104
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: shoot heavy arrow really fast, and they shoot them so

105
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: fast they can actually penetrate Roman shields and armor. This

106
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: is not a bow like in the movies where you

107
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: see him and he breaks off a little stick and

108
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: give him about twenty minutes and to get you a

109
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: little bow with the string. It took a year to

110
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: make one of these bows. They had to use wood

111
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: and bone and sinew, and they had they warm them

112
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: up and shape them and warm them up like it

113
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: was a process, a process. And these people were incredible archers,

114
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: just like the Mongols were. They could shoot behind themselves

115
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: in the saddle, turn around in the saddle, and shoot

116
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: you as you were chasing after them. Now, the Huns

117
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: they're nomadic. They're not siege people yet as far as

118
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: siege weapons. They don't have catapults and things to knock

119
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: down your walls. They want to meet you out on

120
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: the planes and run you down. Or if they do

121
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: lay a siege, all they can really do is surround

122
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: the city and wait you out until a man named

123
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: Attila comes along. Now know this, Ats and Attila knew

124
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: each other, and I don't mean a little. They knew

125
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: each other really, really well and had fought together. This

126
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: was the era where sides were always changing. And you

127
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: have to go be a hostage with him for a while.

128
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: He's going to come be a hostage with you for

129
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a while. Oh and forgetting about hostages. Now we need

130
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: some help in fact, to let us begin our story

131
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: right there, Ats has these people called the Burgundians. They

132
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: are a barbarian tribe. Ats is after Glory. Atis is

133
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: a very capable Roman general, very very capable, as we'll

134
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: get to, and he is named the commander of Gaul. Well,

135
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: he wants to go slap around some barbarians in Gaul.

136
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: His army's not that great, but guess whose is Attila

137
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: the Hun? And Ats goes to his old buddy Attila

138
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: and says, hey, I've got a plan. I've got some food,

139
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: I'll handle the logistics, I'll handle all that. I need

140
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: somebody to come handle the killing. And just like the Mongols,

141
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: the Huns are really really really good at killing and

142
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: really enjoy it. And they were thought of to be

143
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: uniquely vicious, and we'll get to that in just a moment.

144
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show subscribe wherever you find podcasts. I

Speaker 1: It's called Southern Survival and what they do is they

148
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: put all this BattleBox stuff through testing and show you

149
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: how to use it. You can get one of these

150

Speaker 1: battleboxes sent to your home every single month, starting at

151
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: just thirty dollars a month. They've already sent me my

152
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: first one. It had things like a special flashlight in it,

153
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: a hatchet, a disposable grill. On my life, I'm not

154
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,000

163
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: hiring these huns, and Ats is an ambitious person. How

164
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: ambitious is Ats, Well, we'll put it to you this way.

165
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: He got in a little feud in Rome with a

166
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: guy named Boniface. Ats decides he's going to go ahead

167
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: and have a little fight with Boniface. He kills Boniface.

168
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Not only does he kill Boniface, he then goes and

169
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: marries Boniface's wife that he left behind and buys Boniface's

170
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: house that he no longer needs. So we're talking a

171
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: bit of a spiteful man, kind of salty, kind of

172
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: like that much salt though, Chris, that makes for good stories.

173
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: Aetis hires these huns to come up and fight the

174
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Burgundians with him, and he gets to really witness firsthand

175
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: the huns on the war path, and he is even

176
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: for a Roman chucked. The huns kill every man, woman,

177
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: and child. Romans had done that in the past, it's

178
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: not like they hadn't, but Uns they took it to

179
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: new levels of cruelty. And we're talking impalements. Remember impaling. Sorry, kids,

180
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: I know this is rough. There are several different kinds

181
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: of impaling. You can impale somebody, as in you put

182
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: a sharpened stick in the air and you essentially stab

183
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: him in the stomach with a sharp stick and it

184
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: goes through them and they they slide down and die

185
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: pretty quickly because you've pierced a bunch of organs and such.

186
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: That's one way. Another way to do that is to

187
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: take that sharpened stick and place it where the sun

188
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: don't shine, and then it'll take a little longer before

189
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: it gets to vital organs, but it'll pierce them and

190
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: you'll die, yeah minutes. And then there's the Hun way,

191
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: and others have used this way in the past, of

192
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: you're still placing it where the sun don't shine, only

193
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: you're not sharpening it. You're making sure it's blunt on

194
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: the end, and you're making sure it's blunt on the

195
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: end specifically so it won't pierce vital organs. In fact,

196
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: they would grease the ends of it, so it'll just

197
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: move all your organs around as it slowly makes its

198
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: way through your body as you sink down onto it,

199
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: keeping you alive sometimes for days. And the Huns liked

200
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: it a lot, and the Romans. How bad does it

201
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: have to get for a Roman to look at you

202
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: and think, my word, that is barbaric. Yes, let's keep

203
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: in mind these are the people who crucified Jesus Christ

204
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: and they're looking at Antila thinking, oh man, that's a

205
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: little far right. But nevertheless they're very, very handy if

206
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: you need an army. Now that whole parade breaks up,

207
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm skipping over several things. That's just so that showed

208
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: usn't last nine thousand years. And plus there are a

209
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: couple of really cool stories I want to get to.

210
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Everybody goes back their separate ways until I go back

211
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: to the Hungarian Plain. Eastern Roman Empire does their thing.

212
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire does their thing. Now, part of the

213
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire was North Africa Carthage. You remember Carthage.

214
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about it several times on the show. North

215
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: Africa is a profitable part of the Western Roman Empire.

216
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: And remember how I told you they're friends. Eastern Roman

217
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Empire and Western Roman Empire, they're friends, they are. The

218
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire gets themselves in a bit of trouble

219
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: because there's a group of barbarians called the Vandals. We're

220
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: going to be dealing with Goths, Vandals, and Huns today

221
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: just know they're all barbarians. But the Vandals, while fierce fighters,

222
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: very fierce fighters, very capable fighters, they were kind of

223
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: run out of Europe by the Huns and the Goths.

224
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: There's always one guy a little tougher. The Vandals couldn't

225
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: find a place to land until they made their way

226
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: down to North Africa and thought, wow, I like it here.

227
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: I think I'll stay. And the Western Roman Empire did

228
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: not have the military might. They did not have the

229
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: military might to toss them out alone. So they went

230
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Roman Empire and they said, what can

231
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: you do to help me? And the Eastern Roman Empire

232
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: had a decision to make because they knew Attila was

233
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: out there. They knew Attila was powerful, and by now

234
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: they were well aware the Huns were always looking for

235
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: a new city to attack, wealth to acquire, and Attila

236
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: had spent so much time fighting alongside the Romans. Guess

237
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: what else he knew? He now knew siege warfare, so

238
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: on top of everything else, you've taught the man how

239
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: to destroy cities. But the Eastern Roman Empire felt they

240
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: were obligated to go help the Western Roman Empire and

241
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: fight these Vandals so they gather up their army and

242
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: they take off and they're like, we're coming, guys, don't worry.

243
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: And they're gone about five minutes. Not really, I'm exaggerating,

244
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: but they're gone about five minutes. And Attila, who has

245
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: spies everywhere, it gets word back the eastern Eastern Roman

246
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Empire is like entirely undefended right now. Well, Attila's not

247
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: a man who's just going to lay down and accept that.

248
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: So he gets the hun Horde together and he attacks

249
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: a place called Margam. Now what makes Margam a little

250
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: unique is he demands to see the bishop of Margam.

251
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: Remember I said this was getting to be a Christian nation,

252
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: like a Catholic Christian type thing. The bishop not only

253
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: goes out to see him, the bishop tells all, if

254
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: he'll spare his life, he'll open the city gates for him.

255
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: Talk about all time scumbag moves and he does it,

256
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: goes back open the gates, and Attila does what Huns

257
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: do in Margam, and the stories are horrific. And then

258
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: he goes and does the exact same thing in a

259
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: city called Nisus as well. And by now the Eastern

260
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: Roman Empire knows they are in bad, bad, bad trouble.

261
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: They scramble back and they sue for peace. They cannot

262
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: defeat Attila. They tell him, hey, just just please leave

263
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: us alone. We'll pay you a bunch of gold every year.

264
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: And Attila it does. Okay, that's fine. He backs off,

265
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: accepts his gold payment, and now he's just you know,

266
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: still up, been coming. But remember at this point, Attila

267
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: the Hun is ruling the Hunnish Empire alongside his brother. Well,

268
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: his brother meets an untimely demise. You could say, I'm

269
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: not trying to be purposely coy about that. I have

270
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: no idea how his brother died. Nobody dead, because the

271
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: Huns didn't. They didn't keep a written history. Anything we

272
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: know about the Huns we learned from the Romans. But

273
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: it is widely assumed that Attila killed his brother. His

274
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: brother was young, in good health, did not but die

275
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: in battle all of a sudden. The dude just shows

276
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: up dead one day, and guess who's calling the shots now?

277
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: One man? And when we've talked about this before, but

278
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: it's important you and I understand. Large empires were always

279
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: wary of the tough Asian step people. They knew what

280
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: incredible fighters. They were, and they knew the only way

281
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: to really stop them, or one of the best ways

282
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: to stop them, was to keep them fighting each other.

283
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: These people all fought each other all the time. Yes

284
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: they're incredible, but they're so busy sniping at each other

285
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: they'll leave us alone, well until they don't. Gold Alliance

302
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Attila the Hun goes back to the plains, feels his brother,

303
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing a big assumption there. But come on, now,

304
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: we all know what happened. Eastern Roman Empire goes back

305
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: to doing their thing. Western Roman Empire goes back to

306
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: doing their thing. Woo, we have we have solved that problem. Glad.

307
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Everything's peaceful now, only not totally peaceful, because Theodosis is

308
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: currently the head of the Eastern Roman Empire at this time. Theodosis,

309
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: you remember those payments he had to make it annually

310
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: to Attila the Hun. He stopped making those and in

311
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: the all time I mean, this story has more more

312
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: of these kind of stories than you can imagine. And

313
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: the all time bad luck event ever, not only does

314
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: he stop making the payments, which has Attila already preparing

315
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: for war. He stops making the payments. Attila's preparing for war,

316
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: and he wakes up one night because the bed is

317
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: a shaken. He goes out and finds out the next

318
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: morning that Constantinople had been slammed with a horrible earthquake

319
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: that had knocked down a one mile section of the

320
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Constantinople walls, remember what I said, until the Hunt has

321
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: armies everywhere, has spies everywhere. I mean, yeah, he found

322
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: out right away. So Untila is all, well, I know

323
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: where we're going. Boys hops on his horse starts heading

324
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: that way. Now, Theodosis is not a bad dude, and

325
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: he's not an idiot, and he knows the Hunt army

326
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: is on the way. He does two things and saves

327
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: this city you know is Stanbul today is Stanbul. Turkey

328
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: is supposed to be one of the coolest places out there,

329
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: even though Turkey you know, is run by dirt balls.

330
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Is Stanbul only exist today because of what Theodosis does

331
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: at this point in time, in the year in the

332
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: four hundreds. He throws together the best army he can.

333
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: On top of that, he puts up the most ambitious

334
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: construction project ever to rebuild the wall. He essentially mobilizes

335
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: the entire city, men, women, children, everybody the wall. They

336
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: say it should have taken two years to build. To

337
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: build back, it's not a fast process. Then we're not

338
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: talking about cranes and construction equipment here. Remember these are

339
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: horses and carriages and such. He puts these people to

340
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: work and ends up getting the wall rebuilt in two months,

341
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: two months, but Attila's still coming, right, and you don't

342
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: have two months, So he sends his army out on

343
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: what was essentially a suicide mission. He sends his army

344
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: out to fight Attila, knowing they're going to lose, but

345
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: just trying to buy the people of Constantinople enough time

346
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: to rebuild the wall the earthquake had just knocked down.

347
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. Amazing. His army does lose. They do fight,

348
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: they fight well, they fight hard. They lose, of course,

349
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: and Attila shows up the Constantinople and sees the freaking

350
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: wall rebuild. This time, Theodosis strikes another deal with Attila

351
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: where they essentially they bankrupt the Eastern Roman Empire at

352
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: this point in time, as you can imagine, Attila still

353
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: a little salty about him stopping the last payments and

354
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: a little salty that he doesn't get to take Constantinople.

355
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: They have to pay him more than double the previous

356
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: amount of gold they were having. They said rich people

357
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: were homeless. A lot of them were homeless after this

358
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: because they had to essentially sell all their possessions just

359
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: to pay off Attila to go away. But they do it,

360
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: and they live to fight another day, because remember the

361
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Eastern Roman Empire went on for a long time after this.

362
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: They broke themselves, they paid him off. Attila's gone, I'm

363
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: glad that's done. Oh no, oh no. The Western Roman

364
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Empire is about to screw something up badly, and not

365
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: really the whole empire. One woman, one spiteful woman, is

366
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: about to bring the wrath of Attila the hun down

367
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: on the entire Western Roman Empire. That's not an exaggeration.

368
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: You see. Attila went back and he settled back down

369
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: on his massive empire. He does. He has a huge

370
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: one at this point in time. They're the toughest guys around,

371
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: so they took all the land they wanted. They relaxed.

372
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: He's chilling's just just doing his thing, but always wanting

373
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: more lands. The head of the Western Roman Empire, he's

374
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: just a dude. I'm not going to go into it.

375
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: But he has a sister, and you know what happens

376
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: when you have women in royal families. We've talked enough

377
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: history on this show that you know how that story goes, right.

378
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: They get married off, They get married off to other emperors,

379
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: other important people to forge alliances. Is that's not abnormal.

380
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: That is the history of the world. They get married

381
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: off to other people to forge alliances. They are they

382
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: really want them to be virgins when they do this.

383
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: This is important throughout history. If you're marrying off your

384
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: sister or your daughter something like that, that the the

385
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: guy you're marrying her off who really wants to know

386
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: he's the first not trying to be vulgar here, that's

387
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: just the fact she is apparently becoming a bit flirtatious

388
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: around the Roman capital, starting to take a greater interest

389
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: in men. The Western Roman emperor is understandably, very very

390
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: concerned that her sister is going to trying to be

391
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: delicate here, spoil the goods before he could marry her off.

392
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: So he locks her away. Now he doesn't lock her

393
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: in some dank dungeon cell. He locks her in essentially

394
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: a castle. But he has her locked away so she

395
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: can't roam about, you know, she can't roam about Rome.

396
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: And then it turns out she was going to find

397
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: a way anyway. You see, she had a butler took

398
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: care of her basic needs, and she ended up pregnant

399
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: and it was it was his kid. Now the Roman

400
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: emperor is furious obviously the butler died shortly after. I

401
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: don't have to elaborate on that. He's furious, so mad

402
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: at his sister for getting pregnant and screwing up what

403
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: he was going to do with her, that he he

404
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: promises her to what is considered to be an ugly idiot.

405
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: That's that's that's really, that's how they describe this man.

406
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: Apparently it was horrible looking, in a total moron, and

407
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: he's selling, not selling. He's marrying his sister after this dude,

408
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: just out of spite, just to punish her. And this

409
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: guy doesn't care that she's pregnant. This guy ain't getting

410
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: anybody else, He certainly ain't getting anyone higher status than that. Whatever. Well,

411
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: now his sister is really salty, really really salty, and

412
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: in the all time spiteful move of spiteful moves, she

413
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: takes her signet ring. It's you know, it's it's an

414
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: important ring. She takes her signet ring, drops it in

415
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: an envelope along with a letter, and sends a runner

416
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: over to Attila the hun where they deliver this letter

417
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: to Attila. Attila opens it up and sees this note

418
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: asking her to come, asking him to come rescue her

419
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: and the ring in there unbeknownst to her. In Hun tradition,

420
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: if you are given a ring, that means you want

421
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: him to marry you. Attila, the Hun says, ah, yep,

422
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: that's a political alliance. I think I'll be signing on.

423
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: For Get on your horses, boys, we're heading for Rome,

424
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: the Roman Emperor. In case you're wondering, Yes, he wants

425
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: to murder his sister at this point in time. He's

426
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: furious with her when he finds out the Huns are

427
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: on the way, but his mother, their mother steps in

428
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: and doesn't allow him to kill her, and the Roman

429
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: army or the Roman army is well. Now they're in

430
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: trouble because the Huns are coming a couple more quick things. Hang,

431
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: is he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah?

432
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: That Jesse Kelly shaw Ebbs sleep is incredible. And look,

433
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're as conky as I am, but

434
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: they must know they're incredible. How do I know that

448
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: marching on the Western Roman Empire, and he's marching hard.

449
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: A couple of quick stories before we wrap this up

450
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: here really quick today. One, there's a there's a place

451
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: called Rhems. This story it's just like I almost didn't

452
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: relay it, but you can go read it up yourself.

453
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: They still have the monument to this guy. Apparently there

454
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: was a priest when the Huns were invading and you know,

455
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: taking over the city, and you know how Huns take

456
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: over a city, it's not pleasant. This priest stands on

457
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: the steps of the church and begins to read Psalm

458
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: one nineteen. The Huns run up to this guy as

459
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: he's reading Psalm one nineteen and chop his head off.

460
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: The story goes that he continues to read Psalm one

461
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: nineteen as his head rolls down the stairs. Now, obviously

462
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: I would normally just kind of dismiss that as an

463
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: urban legend. However, it is a fact, and no one

464
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: can explain why the Huns packed up and left the

465
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: city immediately. It freaked him out. They even said, this

466
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: is what happened. I saw it. We're leaving. The Huns

467
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: do not leave a city without burning it to the

468
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: ground for just no reason whatsoever. Also, have you ever

469
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: heard of a little place called Paris? Paris, France, maybe

470
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: the most famous city in the world. I've never been.

471
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: I'm told I should go. There's a lot of money

472
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: to go over there, and I don't have been that

473
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: big on French food. Chris, it's the thing, But I

474
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: rob sure I'll go at some point in time. I

475
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: know you got to go. But very important place. Right, Well,

476
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not called Paris at this time. While Attilas is

477
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: rampaging through the countryside, sacking and burning everything. It's just

478
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: a really, really crappy town. And when I say crappy town.

479
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: Attila the Hun rides up to this place, checks it

480
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: out and says, that place is such a dump, it's

481
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: not even worth my time to stop in and kill people.

482
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: And they just chose to bypass it instead of raising

483
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: it to the ground. And that's why Paris exists to

484
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: this day. Otherwise he would have completely destroyed it and

485
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: it would have been gone. How about that. Now the

486
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire knows they're in a bit of trouble.

487
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: Remember our man Attius, he's still there. He knows Attila

488
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: very very well. Remember they are childhood friends, and he

489
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: knows well. He knows he can't defeat them, not with

490
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: just a Roman army. They don't have enough men. Attila

491
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: has one hundred thousand guys at this time, and Attius

492
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: goes to people. They've been fighting for a long time.

493
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: The Goths, remember the Goths, way back when on Friday,

494
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: the Goths who initially were fleeing from the Huns. The

495
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: Goths are still really, really tough. The Romans choose to

496
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: unite with the Goths and go meet Attila the Hun

497
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: on the battlefield. Attias is no idiot. Attila's very very capable,

498
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: but Attius knows he's got to figure out something special

499
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: or Attila's going to wreck his world. So he does

500
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 1: something unique. Now, what is the problem when you face

501
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: one of these Asian step armies? Their speed, they're all

502
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: on horseback, they're all mounted, and they're so fast. They

503
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: hit you and run away. They hit you and run away,

504
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: They hit you and circle you. You just can't catch them.

505
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: They're always on the back on horses. So Attists comes

506
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: up with a plan. He puts his elite Roman troops

507
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: on the left side of his line. He puts the

508
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: very much elite Gothic troops on the right side of

509
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: his line, and he took all the crap left over

510
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: and put it in the middle, all the weak troops

511
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: in the middle. Because he had a plan, and the

512
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: plan was this, Attila is no dummy either. He's going

513
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: to see the weak troops in the center of the line.

514
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: Most of the time, if you break the center of

515
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: the line, you win the battle period. So he's going

516
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: to see the weak troops, go after the weak troops

517
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: in the center of the line and win the day.

518
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: But Attists had a plan. He was baiting Attila in

519
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: Attila went charging in to the center. Antila's army, I

520
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: should say, went charging into the center as expected. The

521
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: center starts to push back and back and back. They

522
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: can't hold up. But attiists did this on purpose so

523
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: he could have his elite troops circle the Hunnish army,

524
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: attacking them and eliminating their ability to ride away and maneuver.

525
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: It does you no good for all of you to

526
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: be on horseback if you're all penned up in a

527
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: little corral, now does it? Where are you going to go? Nowhere? Now?

528
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to act like the Romans annihilated the

529
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: Huns here because they didn't annihilate the Huns and they

530
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: didn't kill Attila. And this war is going to continue

531
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: another day. But Attila does lose this battle. The Romans

532
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: are severely bloodied. Attila is severely bloodied, and you know what,

533
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: hang it. You're never completely ready to adopt a teen.
