Oddly enough, in almost every story, we know that there is a link to the Great Migration of Nations, there is a desire to figure out who the Goths are? - and what kind of Great Nations Migration?
The Gotta are a Germanic people of the 2nd - 9th centuries, who until the 8th century played a significant role in the history of Europe. These were Germanic tribes, probably of Scandinavian origin, who spoke East Germanic Gothic (for which Bishop Ulfilah developed the Gothic script in the 4th century). In the first centuries of our era, they made their way from Sweden to the Black Sea and the Danube River, reaching the very outposts of the Roman Empire.
The Goths formed in Scandinavia, in the area that Jordan calls Skandza. Although the question of kinship of the Goths with the Proto-Swedish tribe of Göth is controversial, in historiography it is customary to understand Skandza in the south of modern Sweden and the island of Gotland. Under King Berig, they crossed the Baltic Sea and occupied the lower reaches of the Vistula in the 2nd century (Jordan calls this area Gotiskandza).
But the same author Jordan tells us about the victory of the Gothic king Tanausis over the Egyptian pharaoh Vesosis. And Vesosis fights with the Scythians 480 years before the founding of Rome (1233 BC (4275 year from the creation of the world)), and this is 1400 years earlier than the great migration began, according to the Christian historian Orosius. And this raises a new question, why is the idea of the Great Nations Migration being imposed on us? - and precisely during the period of our era, if we know the facts that …
From the crossing of the Goths to continental Europe, historians begin the countdown of the great migration of peoples. Displaced by the Goths from the territory of modern Poland, vandals and rugs began to move southward, forcing the local population to shift towards the Mediterranean. Hence - the first onslaught of the barbarians on the northeastern borders of the Roman Empire, which she felt under Marcus Aurelius.
The fifth king of the Goths after Berig, Filimer, brought them to the Dnieper region, where the Gothic state of Oyum arose on the territory of present-day Ukraine. Prior to this, the Dnieper region was occupied by the people of Spals, whose name was preserved in the Slavic word "giant". In archaeological terms, the presence of the Goths in the Dnieper region corresponds to the Chernyakhov culture, and to the earlier period of their history, the Velbarskaya culture.
The written sources on the history of Oyum are late and unreliable - "Getika" of Jordan and the Scandinavian sagas (first of all, "The Saga of Herver"), which narrate about the struggle of the Goths with the Huns. The capital of a single Gothic state in Scandinavian folklore was considered a city on the Dnieper - literally Danparstad. In the saga of Herver, the capital city is called the "river house" - Archeimar.
Around 230, the Goths descended into the Black Sea region. When the Romans first encountered the Goths, they were already divided into two branches - the eastern (Ostrogoths) and western (Visigoths), about which the Skiri, Taifals and Crimean Goths also belonged to the Gothic tribes, from which the Taman Goths-meals later separated.
With the Goths sorted out more or less, but the Goths fought with some Huns, and who are they Huns? - the answer to this question will help to understand what reasons the Huns will invade Europe.
What we can learn the Huns are a Turkic-speaking people, a union of tribes formed in the 2nd - 4th centuries by mixing different tribes of the Great Eurasian Steppe, Volga and Urals. In Chinese sources, they are referred to as Hunnu or Xiongnu.
(The Eurasian steppe (also the Eurasian steppes) is a generalized name for the natural region occupying the central part of the continent of Eurasia. The predominant landscape is steppes and forest-steppe, in places desert and semi-desert. It stretches from west to east, reaching a width of about 1,000 km, a length of over 6 000. From north to south it is crossed by deep rivers - the Dnieper, Don, Volga, Ural and others.)
But for a more complete understanding, what we have learned is not enough …
In traditional Chinese historiography, the term hu (Chinese;, pinyin h;) denotes both the nomadic tribes of the Great Steppe and the western highlanders. With all the diversity of peoples and tribes, Chinese historians of the 4th century divided them into five tribal groups.
Hunnu (mong. X; nn;, Chinese;; Sünnu) - an ancient nomadic people, from 220 BC. e. to the 2nd century AD e. inhabiting the steppes north of China. They waged active wars with the Chinese Han Empire. To protect against their raids, Qin Shihuandi built the Great Wall of China. During the wars with China, they consolidated into a single power that subdued the tribes of neighboring nomads. As a result of wars with China and the Xianbi tribes, as well as civil strife, the Hunnu empire disintegrated. After that, a part of the Huns settled along the Great Wall, passing into Chinese citizenship. And in the 4th - 5th centuries, the Xiongnu founded a state on the territory of Northern China.
After reading the definition of the Hunnu people, you wonder what relation the Huns have to the Huns? - Since, if we compare the territories of the three states of Scythia, China and the Hunnu, we know that the territory of Scythia and the territory of the Hunnu have an overlap, on the eastern territory of modern Kazakhstan, and oddly enough, historians have imposed the eastern border of Scythia along the border of Kazakhstan. And this says that the territory of Scythia could have been much larger, include the Huns, for example. And then the Huns and Huns are just the people (d) of Scythia. And this is also evidenced by the fact that the term hu - designates both the nomadic tribes of the Great Steppe and the western highlanders. So, according to the map, China and Scythia border just along the mountain range of the Himalayas, and precisely along the western outskirts of China, which can,explain the common designation of mountaineers and steppe inhabitants as representatives of the country.
According to one of the versions, the large association of the Huns "Hunnu" at the end of the 3rd century BC. e. formed on the territory of Northern China, from the 2nd century AD. e. appeared in the steppes of the Northern Black Sea region. But the Hunnu, according to the Chinese chronicles, somewhere at the turn of the era began their slow march to the west. Archaeological evidence has also been found that, along the way, they founded their nomadic states either in Northern Mongolia, or even further to the west. This information is very controversial and hypothetical, without archaeological confirmation, the veil of the movement of the "Hunnu" westward. However, no traces of the "Hunnu" were found west of Northern Kazakhstan. In addition, in the 4th - 5th centuries A. D. e. natives of the tribal union "Hunnu" headed the royal dynasties in Northern China.
Such confusion among historians in relation to the Huns and Huns, where there is no clear attachment of two names to one people, except for the version that these are two different peoples, but representatives of the same country or the Scythian empire. Let's not forget that from about the 7th century BC. Scythia disintegrates, and in history there is the Scythia of the northern Black Sea region, in the 6th century BC. e. appears Savromatia, Saki - Scythian tribes that inhabited the territory of modern Central Asia, but we know almost nothing about the Saki people. But we know about history that at the turn of the 6th and 5th centuries. BC e. part of the Saka tribes was conquered by the Persian kings of the Achaemenid dynasty, paid them taxes and supplied soldiers, the conquest of the Saks is described in the Behistun inscription of Darius I. Saki, as part of the Persian army, participated in the Greco-Persian wars, in particular, in the Battle of Marathon.
Thus, on the basis of considering the settlement of the peoples of Scythia, we can say that the Saki were geographically closer to the territories in which the peoples lived, which in the Chinese tradition are called Hu. Thus, we can say that after the collapse of Scythia, a number of states, including the Hunnu, were formed on its territories.
It must be said that historians for some reason do not say where the Huns were from the 2nd century to the 4th century, if they are associated with the Huns. And they do not take into account the fact that in the 4th - 5th centuries A. D. e. natives of the tribal union "Hunnu" headed the royal dynasties in Northern China.
Historians tell us: In the 70s of the 4th century, the Huns conquered the Alans in the North Caucasus, and then defeated the state of Germanarich, which served as an impetus for the Great Migration of Peoples. The Huns subjugated most of the Ostrogoths that lived in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, and forced the Visigoths who lived in the lower Dniester to retreat to Thrace, and this is in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, between the Aegean, Black and Marmara seas. Then, passing through the Caucasus in 395, they devastated Syria and Cappadocia in Asia Minor, and around the same time, settling in Pannonia, a Roman province on the right bank of the Danube, now the territory of Hungary and Austria, from there raided the Eastern Roman Empire. In relation to the Western Roman Empire, until the middle of the 5th century, the Huns acted as allies in the struggle against the Germanic tribes. They taxed the conquered tribes and forced them to participate in their military campaigns.
The words of historians slightly confuse us as they say:
Then, having passed through the Caucasus in 395, they devastated Syria and Cappadocia in Asia Minor, and about the same time, settling in Pannonia.
And this can only say about one thing, the Huns went to Syria in accordance with the agreement with Rome. Thus, we can say that the Huns are a free-hired accusation, representatives of different clans, which was recruited in the northern Black Sea region by the Romans, and the functions of a foreign legion were assigned to it.
The greatest territorial expansion and power of the Hunnic union of tribes, which, in addition to the Bulgars, already included the Ostrogoths, Heruls, Gepids, Scythians, Sarmatians, as well as some other Germanic and non-Germanic tribes, reached under Attila (ruled in 434-453).
Historians very often do not notice how they refute themselves and confirm the versions of others, so according to them: the
Hunnic union of tribes, which, in addition to the Bulgars, already included the Ostrogoths, Heruls, Gepids, Scythians, Sarmatians, as well as some other Germanic and non-Germanic tribes reached under Attila (reigned 434 - 453).
We are told that initially the Huns are an alliance, and for any alliance a reason is needed, an agreement with Rome and the Bulgars, and they are already starting a war, forming new treaties, which increase the possession of the treaty of the Huns and Rome.
But according to world history, a military group once created can go against its creator.
In 451 the Huns invaded Gaul and were defeated in the Catalaunian fields by the Romans and their Visigoths allies. After the death of Attila, the quarrels that arose among the Huns were taken advantage of by the Gepids they conquered, who led the uprising of the Germanic tribes against the Huns. In 455, at the battle of the Nedao River in Pannonia, the Huns were defeated and left for the Black Sea region: the powerful alliance collapsed. Attempts by the Huns to break through to the Balkan Peninsula in 469 failed.
And these words of historians tell us about the reasons why, After the death of Kubrat in 665, the state disintegrated and the sons of the khan, each with his own tribe, migrated in different directions, so the resettlement of the Bulgarians under the leadership of Asparuhav to the lands of modern Bulgaria on the Balkan Peninsula, in about 680 year.
And by simple comparison of the data, we increased the history and significance of the Bulgarians in history, and this suggests that the history of the modern Bulgars is from about 375.
Gradually, the Huns disappeared as a people, although their name was found for a long time as a common name for the nomads of the Black Sea region.
But we already know that the Hun people, as such, did not exist, and this is just the name of the tribal union, which united the warriors provided by the tribes, thus, all that we modem to learn about the Huns is a military culture, and we will talk about it in the chapter "Influences of the Scythian military culture on further history."
And we just have to ask historians about the conquest of the "Hunnic Union":
According to the testimony of the same Jordan, the tribes that were part of the "Hunnic" union shamelessly occupied both the Western and the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, settling in Thrace, Illyria, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Gaul and even on the Apennine Peninsula. The last Roman emperor Romulus Augustulus was the son of Attila's secretary, Orestes. Odoacer, the first barbarian king of Rome, who overthrew him from the throne, according to Jordan, the "king of Torkilings" Odoacer, to whom historians for some reason attribute German origin, was the son of the best commander Attila, Skir, Edekon. Theodoric, the son of Attila's associate, the Ostrogothic king Theodomir, who defeated Odoacer with the help of the Byzantine emperor Zeno, became the first Christian king of the Gothic-Roman kingdom.
And if we briefly express the conquests of the "Hun" union, then this is the complete destruction of Rome, as a result of which the Holy Roman Empire or HRI arose.
Veli; some resettlement; drug addiction; Dov is the conventional name for the totality of ethnic movements in Europe in the 4th - 7th centuries, mainly from the periphery of the Roman Empire to its territory. The Great Migration can be seen as an integral part of global migration processes spanning seven to eight centuries. A characteristic feature of the resettlement was the fact that the core of the Western Roman Empire, including primarily Italy, Gaul, Spain and partly Dacia, where the mass of Germanic settlers eventually went, by the beginning of the 5th century AD was already densely populated by the Romans themselves and the Romanized Celtic peoples.
You can also say that the task of the Great Migration of Nations is a desire to explain the similarity of cultures in the territories of the Roman Empire.
Therefore, the great migration of peoples was accompanied by cultural, linguistic, and then religious conflicts between the Germanic and Romanized populations. The great migrations laid the foundation for the confrontation between the Germanic and Romanic peoples, which in a sense has survived to this day.
Slavic peoples, Turks, Iranians (Alans) and Finno-Ugric tribes actively participated in the resettlement. Chronology of events (4th - 7th centuries)
375. The invasion of Europe from the east by the Huns, the "horsemen" of the Bulgarians and Alans, who destroyed the Ostrogoth state between the Baltic and Black Seas. The beginning of the Great Migration of Nations.
Historians tell us that:
… destroyed the Ostrogoth state between the Baltic and Black Seas.
But studying the history of the Huns, we know: the
Huns subdued most of the Ostrogoths that lived in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, and forced the Visigoths who lived in the lower Dniester to retreat to Thrace.
At the same time, they do not tell us anything about the capture of the Gothic state, between the Baltic and Black Seas, and this tells us that in the description of the Great Migration of Nations, a distortion of facts was initially adjusted.
400 A. D. The beginning of the settlement by the Lower Franks of the territory of the modern Netherlands (it was inhabited by Batavians and Frisians), which then still belonged to Rome.
402 year. The first attempt of the Visigoth king Alaric to invade Italy was defeated by the Roman army.
406 year. Displacement of the Franks from the Rhine by Vandals, Alemanni and Alans. The Franks occupy the north of the left bank of the Rhine, the Alemanni - the south.
409 year. Penetration of Vandals with Alans and Suevi in Spain.
410 A. D. Capture and sack of Rome by the Visigoths under the command of King Alaric.
415 A. D. Displacement by the Visigoths from Spain of Alans, Vandals and Suevi, who penetrated there in 409.
434 year. Attila becomes the sole ruler (king) of the Hunnic empire.
For some reason, in the chronology of events, we do not see the date of one of the famous events, which was the defeat by the Huns of one of the first German states, the Burgundian Kingdom on the Rhine, in 437. According to Idazius, 20 thousand Burgundians died, the survivors of the Western Roman Empire provided new lands for settlement in Gaul on the middle Rhone (in the area of the modern border of France and Switzerland) in
449. The capture of Britain by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes.
450 A. D. The movement of peoples through Dacia (the territory of modern Romania): Huns and Gepids (450), Avars (455), Slavs and Bulgars (680), Hungarians (830), Pechenegs (900), Cumans (1050).
451 years old. The combined troops of the Romans under the command of Flavius Aetius and the Visigoths under the command of King Theodoric I in the battle on the Catalaunian fields (Gaul) defeat the Huns and their allies led by King Attila and throw them back across the Rhine.
452 year. The Huns ravage northern Italy. Pope Leo the Great by the power of words stops Attila's troops and saves Rome from ruin.
453 year. The Ostrogoths inhabit Pannonia (modern Hungary).
454 year. The capture of Malta by the vandals (from 494 the island was ruled by the Ostrogoths).
458 year. Capture by vandals of Sardinia (until 533).
Year 476. The overthrow by the German military leader Odoacer of the last Roman emperor - the juvenile Romulus Augustulus. Odoacer sends the imperial regalia to Constantinople. The traditional date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
The year 486. The Frankish king Clovis I defeats the last Roman ruler in Gaul, Syagrius. Founding of the Frankish state (in 508 Clovis makes Paris his capital).
500 A. D. Bavars (Bayuvars, Marcomans) penetrate from the territory of modern Czech Republic to the territory of modern Bavaria. Czechs occupy the territory of modern Czech Republic. Slavic tribes penetrate into the Danube provinces of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). Having occupied the lower reaches of the Danube (about 490), the Lombards seize the plain between the Tisza and the Danube and destroy the powerful state of the East German Herul tribe existing there (505). The Bretons, driven out of England by the Anglo-Saxons, move to Brittany. Scots penetrate Scotland from Northern Ireland (in 844 they create their kingdom there).
6th century. Slavic tribes populate Mecklenburg.
541 years old. Totila, who became king of the Ostrogoths, wages a war with the Byzantines until 550, during which he captures almost all of Italy.
570 A. D. Asian nomadic tribes of Avars create a state on the territory of modern Hungary and Lower Austria.
585 year. The Visigoths subjugate all of Spain. - What's this? - the Goths in the second century had nothing to do, they went to mainland Europe, and only then occupied Iceland, although it is more likely that the opposite is true. Let's not forget that the Goths are a common name for the peoples of Europe, which have a single cult and tradition, and if you remember this, then the words that in 585 the Visigoths subjugated the whole of Iceland, just as a localization of Gothic culture within Iceland.
600 A. D. Czechs and Slovaks, depending on the Avars, populate the territory of modern Czech Republic and Moravia.
7th century. The Slavs occupy lands east of the Elbe with partial assimilation of the German population. Croats and Serbs infiltrate the territory of modern Bosnia and Dalmatia. They develop significant regions of Byzantium.
Chronicles of the great migration of us little about what they say, it's more a list of events
Significant migration of peoples later time became the Arab conquest, the conquest of the Normans, the movement Ugric peoples, the Mongol conquests, the conquest of the Turks, led to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire), and so on. D.
To a significant migrations include mass emigration from Europe to the USA, Canada and Australia in the 19th - 20th centuries, emigration of Jews to Palestine in the 20th century, modern migration flows from poor countries to rich and comfortable living conditions.
For greater reliability, historians compare and talk about the resettlement of peoples in other periods of history, while not one of the migrations of peoples in other times did not have consequences similar to the IPN, and the reasons for other migrations are simpler and more banal.
The majority of researchers cite the reasons for the IDP as the reasons for the great migrations leaving the impoverished and disadvantaged regions in search of more attractive lands for living. But their assumptions are partly a definition of nomadic peoples that initially migrate from time to time. And it cannot serve as the main reason for VPN, since history shows that when one nation leaves its lands in Europe, another nation comes to its lands. And also the growth of population among the peoples living outside the borders of the Roman Empire. Population growth is somehow far-fetched, since the whole history is, first of all, military conflicts, which reduce the chances of a large increase in the population of peoples.
A powerful impetus to the movement was the general cooling of the climate, in connection with which the population of territories with a continental climate rushed to areas with a milder climate. The peak of resettlement fell on the period of a sharp cold snap in 535 - 536. - But the history of the chronology of events shown to us by historians does not speak of any events during the period of a sharp cold snap up to 541. Totila, who became the king of the Ostrogoths, wages a war with the Byzantines until 550, during which it captures almost all of Italy - we note not some influence of a cold snap, a common policy.
One of the main reasons for the medieval Great Nations Migration was the weakening of the Roman Empire, caused by a whole complex of ethnic, geographic, climatic and economic factors that led to the decline of the Roman Empire.
Political life was dominated by the despotism of the imperial power and the struggle for power among the pretenders to the throne from among prominent military leaders, which resulted in a large-scale turmoil of the times of the "soldier emperors" of the 3rd century. n. e. The army from the militia of citizens turned into a professional association, which is an increasingly increasing percentage of the presence of representatives of barbarian peoples.
And now we come to another inaccuracy expressed by historians:
"The army from the militia of citizens has turned into a professional association, which is an increasingly increasing percentage of the presence of representatives of barbarian peoples."
The inaccuracy is that initially the Roman army consisted of professional soldiers, and after the arrival of Christianity in the empire, the army began to change, militias came to its composition. The tasks of the army changed, from strengthening the empire to serving one faith, to the detriment of the interests of the empire, so Byzantium arose as an outpost on the path of faith in Asia and Scythia.
The foundations of life and values of the Romans changed as a result of the arrival of a new religion. The late Roman Empire is a typical Mediterranean state, largely orientalized, with a weak army and a shift in the center of social life from foreign policy (war, trade, expansion) to festivities, feasts, that is, enjoying life. And this ensured the growth of the population in the Mediterranean core of the empire, which led to the loss of forest land, gradual desertification, the development of erosion, the reorientation of the economy to small-scale cattle breeding (goats, sheep), the primitivism of everyday life.
The collapse of a strong army led to the reign of the "soldier emperors" of the 3rd century. n. e. recent attempts to restore the empire, but usually an attempt at revival, during the agony, does not lead to a positive result.
Within the empire, there is a gradual shift in the center of influence from Italy and Spain towards a more economically active (and not typically Romanesque) Gaul - with more rainfall and more intensive trade. In turn, the Germanic peoples who lived near the border were more and more involved in the economic and political life of the Empire. Taking advantage of the weakening of borders after the Troubles of the 3rd century. n. e., entire peoples settled in the border areas, eventually seeking legal recognition of the fact of their presence through the institution of the feud, that is, in fact, dual power in the occupied territories. The actual Roman administration survived only where regular Roman troops continued to exist. So, for a long time, Roman law operated in Northern Gaul (the state of Syagria, destroyed only in 486 by Clovis), in Northern Italy (Odoacer),in Dalmatia (before 480)
Historians persistently tell us that IDP was due to the fact that internal processes in migratory communities were associated with both an increase in their number and the need to survive in a worsening climate, etc.
This was reflected in the famous "legend of the deer" - this the legend of the crossing of the Huns (and their predecessors) through Meotida (Sea of Azov) following the miraculously appeared animal guide to the fertile land.
The Sozomen edition is the earliest and most complete among the surviving ones: “Once it happened that a bull pursued by a gadfly crossed the lake and a shepherd followed him; seeing the opposite land, he informed his fellow tribesmen about it. Others say that a fallow deer showed the hunting Unns this road, slightly covered from above by water. At that time they returned back, with astonishment they examined the country, more moderate in climate and convenient for agriculture, and reported to the governor what they had seen. The legend partly emphasized that the migrating peoples were looking for lands that were more climate-friendly and convenient for agriculture. But here the depths of memory go back to the ancient millennia, where there were also many “great migrations”.
Even A. A. Vasiliev interpreted the legend as "a relic of the ancient myth about Io, which Zeus fell in love with, and which Hera turned into a cow." He also noted that a complex adjective, oijstroplhvx - "stung by a horsefly, a gadfly", used by Aeschylus for Io, fell through a number of intermediary links to the late antique authors.
Jordan, referring to the message of Priscus, cited the legend as follows: “The hunters from this tribe (Huns), once, as usual, looking for game on the banks of the inner Meotida, noticed that suddenly a deer appeared in front of them, entered the lake and then stepping forward, then paused, seemed to indicate the way. Following him, the hunters on foot crossed the Maotian Lake, which (until then) was considered impassable as the sea. As soon as before them, knowing nothing, the Scythian land appeared, the deer disappeared."
Procopius of Caesarea expanded the text more in his "War with the Goths": “According to their (Azovites, Cimmerians) stories, if this legend is correct, once several Cimmerian youths, indulging in hunting with hunting dogs, drove a fallow deer; she, fleeing from them, threw herself into these waters. The young men, out of ambition, or overwhelmed by excitement, or were prompted to do so by some mysterious will of the deity, followed this doe and did not lag behind her until they reached the opposite shore with her. Here the animal pursued by them immediately disappeared (it seems to me that it appeared only for the purpose of causing misfortune to the barbarians living there); but the young men, having failed in the hunt, found an unexpected opportunity for themselves for new battles and prey. Having returned, perhaps, rather, to paternal boundaries, they immediately informed all Cimmerians,that for them these waters are quite passable. And so, immediately taking up arms by all the people, they crossed the Swamp without delay and found themselves on the opposite continent. " Here the Huns act as the successors of the Cimmerians.
Several versions of the same legend, and the Huns are already Cimmerians, and this is another evidence that the Huns and the Huns have nothing in common with each other, the current in the work "War with the Goths" Procopius uses the ethnonym 4 times.
When describing the settlement of peoples, the "Cimmerians" are designated as the ancient name of the Utigurs, and then as the ancient name of all the Huns, who later split up and began to be called Utigurs and Kutrigurs after the names of two brothers-rulers. For the third time, the "Cimmerians" are found in the text of the legend and for the last time when quoting the story of Herodotus about the division of the world into three parts to indicate the border between Europe and Asia. Some researchers consider this to be the influence of Herodotus, while others see in the approach of Procopius a broader understanding of all the "great migrations" from the lands of Cimmeria, then Scythia.
The difference in the image of the animal guide (deer (female deer) - bull (cow)), according to A. V. Gadlo, “testifies that this legend was born and existed among two groups of different lifestyle and economy - forest hunters and pastoralists of the steppe”.
Having become acquainted with the legends that tell about the same among different peoples, it tells us about a single culture, and the natural movement of peoples throughout all times. And we are given this as one of their examples of the beginning or impetus for the beginning of the VPN, forgetting to mention the fact that this legend at the time of the invasion of the Huns could be more than a thousand years old, all because the Sarmatians Scythians around the 7th century BC. expelled the Cimmerians from the Northern Black Sea region, and one of the versions directly speaks of the young Cimmerians, and this is already dating in time.
According to E. Ch. Skrzhinskaya, "the historical value in the legend about the deer is the indication of the place where the Huns (or rather, some of them) crossed over to Scythia." Other scholars deny the possibility of such an interpretation. At the same time, according to a many-thousand-year tradition, such legends (such as the legend of Io) partly confirm the activity of the peoples of Scythia (Sarmatia) in the history of various "great migrations" mainly due to natural and climatic reasons and due to overpopulation, partly with enemy pressure.
We see that historians confuse us more than tell the truth, so one historian suggests that the legends speak about where the transition of the Huns (or rather, some of them) to Scythia took place”others say; partly confirm the activity of the peoples of Scythia (Sarmatia) in the history of various “great migrations. Although these legends speak more about the miracle, the favor of the gods, spirits, than about the reasons for resettlement, and only for this reason legends of such a plan were widespread in the ancient world, and migrated according to the traditions of oral transmission of legends and tales, while changing in details throughout life.
The growth of prosperity due to increased self-organization and trade with the Mediterranean and the Northern Black Sea region leads to a demographic explosion among the peoples of Great Scythia (Sarmatia), including the Goths (the Goths themselves distinguished themselves from the Germans). Northern Eurasia, with its cold climate and underdeveloped agricultural lands, was not able to feed the growing population. An exodus to the south, to sparsely populated areas near the borders of the Roman Empire (this is primarily the Rhine basin, Switzerland (Roman Rhetia), Pannonia and the Balkans) was inevitable and was a matter of time.
Wanting to impose what they want, they find many arguments to someone, taking them out of context, while, if the argument is considered taking into account all its nuances:
Taking into account the fact that we are working on the project, we know that historians talking about Scythia, they only mentioned to us that the northern border is unknown, and in this case, historians are mildly letting it slip, insinuating to us that the territory of Scythia was attributed far to the north, about this we are told such words:
Northern Eurasia, with its cold climate and underdeveloped agricultural lands.
Also, these words indicate that the Scythians were farmers, and not nomads as they constantly impose on us.
But the history of the life of people tells us that the process of settling peoples does not stop when, and the engine of this process is nature, which comes to a state where it was not able to feed the entire growing population, as a consequence, under the causes of HDP, we substitute ordinary events such as
The rulers of Rome further accelerated this process, attracting mercenaries (Alans, Goths, Huns, etc.) into the Roman army and distributing allotments to their families on the outskirts of the empire. On the outskirts of the empire, neighboring peoples were attracted by a milder climate, an abundance of agricultural products, as well as a gradual weakening of the empire's government apparatus and its greater dependence on active and freedom-loving people from Scythia and Germany (Germanarich, Rugila, Attila appear in sources as kings, rulers of Scythia and Germany; Jordan et al. Authors).
The increased everyday contacts between the Romanesque and the newcomer population finally strengthened the stereotypes that persist in Europe today about the ideas of these two groups of peoples about each other.
This is not a short sentence that most people, reading, will not notice, but this sentence suggests that there is a real reason, talk about the VPN, the creation of a great lie, a myth called "Great Nations Migration". A myth built on concepts imposed separately from the essence, as an example:
The Roman state, which was in crisis, made attempts to revive the internal life of the empire by attracting enterprising northern and eastern mercenaries. However, the relationship between the Roman and “barbarian” nobility was not easy. But the process began long before our era, when Rome was created by the efforts of immigrants from different countries and peoples. Cornelius Sulla destroyed by 78 BC. e. almost 5 thousand noble Roman citizens and hostile ethnic groups (Samnites, Etruscans). Relying primarily on mercenaries, he introduced people he liked to the Senate.
But for some reason we are not told that the Roman legions throughout history were formed, precisely from the mercenaries of the Roman colonies.
Served soldiers (27 legions, more than a hundred thousand people, often former "barbarians"), who were settled throughout Italy in colonies taken out on lands obtained from confiscations (in particular, in all cities that resisted), became an important support of the regime. Will received about 10 thousand slaves of the disgraced Romans, while these slaves gradually reached the heights of Roman society. For the first time in the centuries of our era, the agathirs and bastars were almost completely resettled on the lands of the empire, who played a noticeable role in the development of Scythia (Sarmatia) and then noticeable in the life of the empire. For more than a thousand years, the ties between Rome and the "barbaric world" were complex and diverse, not reducible only to the last centuries of "everyday contacts".
We have considered and discussed in this chapter, the Great myth of the great migration of peoples, something historians told us, we assumed something, and as a result, summing up. We can say, after weighing all the pros and cons, that the evidence that VPN is a real fact, but came to the conclusion that all evidence is secondary, and has acted and is valid now, both in humans and in animals.
Why do historians impose this myth on us? - the answer must be sought in the personalities of historians, the first historians, these are mostly Christian priests:
Jordan (Latin Jordanes or Jordanis) - a Gothic historian of the 6th century, (sometimes incorrectly called Iornand; some reckon him to the Alans), belonged to the spiritual class; according to some reports, he was the bishop of Croton.
In the Middle Ages, the SRI - the Holy Roman Empire, studied the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe in order to find the right approach to the formation of the governments they liked, and the replacement of other cultures with a single culture, which would make it possible to subordinate the people living in the territory of its influence to a single power … Thus, fulfilling the idea laid down in the basis of the HRE by the Roman emperor Troyan. But culture can be replaced, only history says that it is impossible to completely erase the traces, but we can say that the native culture is not native, but brought by the Goths, Huns, Barbarians, and the true faith is Christianity. But even this did not allow enough to completely destroy in the memory of peoples the traditions that reigned in Europe for thousands of years, although they have slightly different colors, but they have one essence, we saw this on the example of one legend,given to us by historians, which has at least three versions, but there are many more, as historians say. Yes, the church in the Middle Ages faced the question of how to explain why all of Europe and North Africa had common traditions, similar cultures and beliefs. Thus, if you look at the map of the distribution of tribes in the temporary VPN, we can say that cultural studies of the HRE, but then there was no such concept, but that is how we would call them now, and so their followers on the map of migration of peoples, depicted the territories of distribution the main four cultures of the Roman Empire, and the Middle Ages. And in order to hide the unity of European culture, the historical myth of the "Great Migration of Nations" was invented, based on real historical events that can be included in the events of the UPN.at least three versions, but there are many more, as historians say.

It is not for nothing that they say that history is written under the authority that is in power …
