Imagine if Attila had lived enough to conquer both Rome and Constantinople.
It's quite likely he would have settled the Huns in provinces of both Empires, and quite likely gotten them Christianized to reconcile conquerors and conquered.

Possibly the Western Roman Empire could have lasted longer that way, and in union with the Byzantine territories, along with other Hunnic conquests, creating a factual Eurasian Empire.

I prefer Charles Martel/Charlemagne and the Frankish Empire....although the Frankish customs did not help them for the longevity of the Empire as it became France [Latin] and Germany [Germanic]....I admire both societies descending from both. I have always been fascinated by the Frankish empire.....it influenced French and german thought for centuries. Unfortunately this form of thought was replaced with 'liberalism'.....anyway without going on a rant. It is a shame neither country could unite in the west to form its own super power...to me it was the pinnacle of western Europe [ofcourse it borrowed a lot from the old roman empire].

It would still fall short of being atlantid.

Atlantids are the only short people i'm seeing.

Purer Atlantids are not so easy to come by in Oz.

Yes I rarely see them that's why i'm still in awe when I see an Atlanto-Med god like yourself

Food for thought:


While the Huns were the indirect source of many of the Romans' problems by driving various Germanic tribes into Roman territory, relations between the two empires were cordial: the Romans used the Huns as mercenaries against the Germans and even in their civil wars. Thus, the usurper Joannes was able to recruit thousands of Huns for his army against Valentinian III in 424. It was Aëtius, later Patrician of the West who managed this operation. They exchanged ambassadors and hostages, the alliance lasting from 401 to 450 and permitting the Romans numerous military victories. The Huns considered the Romans to be paying them tribute, whereas the Romans preferred to view this as payment for services rendered. By the time Attila came of age during the reign of his uncle Rugila, the Huns had become a great power, to the point that the Patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius, deplored the situation with these words: "They have become both masters and slaves of the Romans."

Just as I believe the Sassanian-Byzantine late alliance in the VII Century should be a historical and civilizational reference, looking at potential partners for the future; the complex relationship between the Hunnic Empire, as well as the Avars and afterwards the Magyars, should shed some light on the way that a proper Eurasian bloc can be constituted.

A committed monarchist, he viewed all republicanism with disgust and felt that only monarchy possessed the secular and spiritual purity to save civilization from chaos.

He immersed himself in his surroundings, donning native robes, learning at least passable Mongolian and studying Buddhist mysticism. This was to be the heartland of the Eurasian empire he planned to build.
