In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the Hephthalite Empire, also known as the White Huns, a nomadic confederation that dominated Central Asia and northern India from the 5th to 6th centuries. Unlike the Huns of Attila, the Hephthalites built a lasting state, extracting tribute from the Sasanian Empire and shattering the Gupta Empire. Lucas unpacks their mysterious origins, their clash with the Sasanian king Peroz I, the rise of their greatest ruler Mihirakula, and the brutal legacy that inspired later legends. He also explores the archaeological evidence from the Buddhist caves at Bamiyan where Hephthalite motifs survive, and the debate over their language and identity—were they Iranian, Turkic, or something else? The episode also touches on their role in the Silk Road trade and their eventual absorption by the Göktürks and the Islamic conquests. #Hephthalites #WhiteHuns #Mihirakula #SasanianEmpire #GuptaEmpire #PerozI #CentralAsia #SilkRoad #Bamiyan #Kushan #AlchonHuns #Kidarites #Göktürks #Xionites #History #FexingoHistory #AncientEmpires #ForgottenEmpires Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
