The Name Hun        

 

         It is possible to track the exact date of the political Hun formation starting from the IV. Century B.C. which expanded from the rivers Orhun-Selenga and the with the Otügen suburbs as center which was respected as the blessed country by the Turks, down to the Huang-ho river in the south. The first historical document about the Hun's was an agreement, that was dated in 318 B.C. Lateron the Hun's increased the pressure on the Chinese lands. After long defensive fights the local dynasties had started to surround their settlements and military concentrations with city walls in order to protect from the Hun cavalryman.

 

       In order to close his north walls totally against the Hun attacks, Si-huang-ti from the Chinese dynasty (259-210 B.C.) tore down the inner parts of the city walls and with the materials they gained he filled the blanks formed the outer walls to the famous Chinese Wall (214 B.C.). As they thought to have set the most protective step against the Chinese and Turk attacks two important incidents happened: the foundation of the Han dynasty (202 B.C. - 220 A.D.) which raised intelligent emperors for a long term in China, the take over of the Hun Emperorship by Mete Han (209 - 174 B.C.).
