In this episode of The Forgotten Empires That Once Ruled the World, Lucas and Luna dive into the Hephthalite Empire, also known as the White Huns—a nomadic confederation that terrorized Persia and India in the 5th and 6th centuries. They explore the enigmatic origins of the Hephthalites, their devastating campaigns against the Sasanian shah Peroz I, and their expansion into the Indian subcontinent under the ruthless Mihirakula. Lucas unpacks the archaeological evidence from Bamiyan and Sialkot, the debates over their identity (Huns? Xionites? A separate group?), and how their rule reshaped the politics of Central Asia and South Asia. The episode also examines their eventual collapse under the combined pressure of the Göktürks and the Sasanians, and their lasting legacy in the numismatic and cultural records. A focused look at a pivotal but often overlooked empire that bridged the ancient and medieval worlds. #Hephthalites #WhiteHuns #Mihirakula #PerozI #Sasanian #Gupta #CentralAsia #India #Persia #Bamiyan #Göktürks #SilkRoad #NomadicEmpire #Huns #Xionites #5thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
