Uitzenddatum: Aug 09, 2020

Attila the Hun - all Europe trembled before the great leader. His life: victorious. His death: a myth. Nobody knows where he is buried. But researchers are following new tracks. They suspect the tomb of the legendary Hun in Hungary's lowlands. Legends point the way to his final resting place. Scientists and amateur researchers follow the tracks and check hidden clues - even under water. Spectacular weapons experiments show how the Huns became a legend 1500 years ago. With their horses and the innovative composite bow, they forced the Romans to flee. However, the rule of the Huns only lasted about 100 years. They leave no written records behind, but every archaeological find proves that the Huns are more than dangerous ghost riders. Attila is a far-sighted statesman who catapulted his nomadic people to the pinnacle of world domination. He remains a myth to this day.
