The huns really screwed up a lot of people. Is it true that they were the remnants of the empire of Hsing-nu?

As far as I know, yes.

They didn't all go west. Some, like the Aryans and the Tocharians, went east. Others, like the Hittites, went south

Kurds are Indo-European and so are Persians.

The original Huns came and went. The invaded Europe, reached as far as Rome, and eventually left. Ostensibly they went "home," wherever that was. The current inhabitants of Hungary are Magyars, who came later. Some historians think the original Huns' resettled in what became the path of Ghengis Khan's conquest, refused to surrender, and had their cities annihilated much like Kiev.

The slavs moved into the region as the area was abandoned by the germans moving westward and the Lombards. Apparently before this they inhabited the region from Upper Vistula to the Carpathians and to the Dneiper.

They were part of the reason why the Germans moved West.

Slavs did not origin from Hungarian plain. In the Roman times, peoples living there were iranian. Late IV century chronicle of Ammianus Marcellinus gives an interesting details of a treacherous attack of local people on emperor Constantine saying that they rushed at him crying out "Marha marha". That means "death" in persian (Marg bar Esroil! Marg bar Emriko!)...
Romans do not mention Slavs, at least over Donau, until V century or VI, I do not recall. Yet, there's an interesting story of X or XI century (I don't recall) Kievan historian who says that Poles originated from over Donau, but yet Wlachs were making harm to them, so they moved here.
Wlachs is a name for Latin-speaking people, especially Romanians and Italians, Italy's name in polish is Wlochy, and southern Romania = Woloszczyzna, which used to be the name of Moldavia in polish as well, until it switched names with its southern counterpart).
It is EXTREMLY interesting. Because Romanians do not, as they say, origin from Dacia. Not at all. they are remains of Roman settlers from southern banks of Donau, from Illyricum and Thrace. Were Poles inhabiting modern-day Romania before Romanians, pushed out from thrace by other Slavs, forced them north?
Or did Nestor mean Romans?
There's a story in Ammianus or some other late-antiquity historians whose work I've read about Sarmatians that some tribe of Sarmatians was enslaved by other. The emperor freed it, yet it attacked RE later on, so Romans forced it to move somewhere far away in the north.

So you mean that Poles/slavs replaced the Dacians and were consequently replaced by modern Romanians. That would mean Romanians are not clean blooded Dacians? I'm shocked.

We know well that our dear Romanian "Dacians" came from the other side of Donau...

Who in turn pushed the Angles and Saxons into Britain, perhaps. There was a lot of population movement in around the 6th/7th century.

I think seperating "Germans" from Angles and Saxons at that time is illusionary.

Now, now, Pekka, it's probably not a good idea to go around calling a racial group subhuman

Best edit that before the mods see it

Pekka: As you're well aware, hate-speech of any sort is not tolerated here, especially when it's racially motivated. Stop it. One more post referring to any race as subhuman and you'll be on holiday until the new year.

I've deleted your hate-speech posts. I don't want to have to do it again. If you have any problem with this, I suggest you PM me and don't derail this thread.

[Pekka]

I don't have a problem with people mixing hate-speech and jokes.

Don't worry, I won't be posting to this thread anymore. I just wanted to defend myself, since you are saying I posted hate-speech, which I didn't. Even though you requested PM if I have a problem with this, please do consider that I don't have a problem with you deleting my posts. I am just defending myself against a statement where I make hate-speech. And even that discussion is done with if it's up to me, so ... let's continue the thread as usual.
