January-March 2010 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume II., Issue 1. _____________________________________________________________________________________ A Hun (Hiung-nu) warrior pointing at the Great Wall The Chinese historical works call the Asian Huns of the time before Christ “Hiung-nu”. The Chinese built the Great wall against the Hiung-nu attacks. The fighter’s armour was made of hardened leather plates. The same kind of armour, which protected the whole body against distant arrow-shots, was also found among the Chinese. The helmet is decorated with a tuft made of horsehair. _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2010 168
January-March 2010 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume II., Issue 1. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Buda, spiritual King of the Huns–Magyars The figure of historical Buda has several mysteries. According to some theories, he was only his younger brother’s, Atilla’s shadow, as the king of the eastern territories. But if we look at the mythical Buda – as for example the legendary Celtic King Arthur, who also has a mythical side –, Atilla and Buda are the two sides of the coin: while Atilla is the symbol of the active, extrovert, fighting, creative power (yang), Buda is the symbol of the meditative, introvert, spiritual power (yin). Historically, it is also possible that Atilla was the warrior-king and Buda was the priest-king. The authority of this double-kingdom guaranteed that the government of the Hun Empire was effected by the combination of fighting power and heavenly wisdom. This graphic was inspired by the “Heavenly Hunting” scene on the 2 nd jug of the “Atilla-treasure” from Nagyszentmiklós (Carpathian Basin – now in Rumania). In the picture – which was composed of the elements of Turanian art – Buda, the spiritual King is riding on a mythical miracle being. _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2010 169
