Secret History
"This site is absolutely incredible!" explains Albrecht Rümschtein, an historian from the Lorand Eötvös University in Budapest and member of the team of specialists investigating the tomb. "We found many horse skeletons, as well as various weapons and other artefacts, all traditionally associated with Huns. These objects include a large sword made of meteoric iron, which could certainly be Attila's legendary "Holy War Sword of the Scythians", allegedly given to him by the god Mars himself. In fact, this definitely seems to be the resting place of the almighty Attila, but further analysis needs to be done to confirm it."
Nicknamed "the scourge of God" by roman historians, Attila was the ruler of the Huns, a nomadic people originating possibly from Central Asia. He ruled from 434 A.D., until his death in 453 after a feast celebrating his latest marriage to a beautiful and young gothic princess named Ildico. He led many military raids on both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires provoquing what has become knowned as the Barbarian Invasions or the Great Migration, a large movement of germanic populations that greatly accelerated the fall of Rome and the advent of the Middle Ages in Europe. He his considered by most Hungarians, as the founder of the country.
The discovery of this funerary site could bring many clarifications concerning the origins and identity of the hunnic people and of Attila himself, which have both been sources of debate for centuries. The analysis of pieces of pottery and jewelry found on the site, should bring a new light on their cultural origins and trade networks, and help scientists better understand this badly documented people.
Comment: One of our research forum members decided to look into this story; the following are his results and conclusions:
Reasons for questioning the validity of the article in chronological order:
1. No other sources
I did a search to try to find a Hungarian source to back this up, as if this investigation was actually taking place currently and taken as seriously as the article suggests, than it would be all over the Hungarian media. I couldn't find a single source. There have been many claims in the past that they have found Attila the Hun's grave in the past - the last one being in 2012 - but none of them in Budapest.
2. No bridges over the Danube are currently being built or planned to be built in Budapest.
The last bridge that was built in Budapest was in 2008
The last one that was built on the Danube south of Budapest was in 2007. The next one that they're planning on building is slated to start next year. This will also be outside Budapest, in Komarom.
3. No historian is at the Lorand Eotvos University of Budapest (ELTE) by the name of Albrecht Rümschtein.

His name was also a red flag as there's nothing Hungarian about it (though there are instances when this happens) but since I later found out that he doesn't exist, it fits.
4. The original posting website carries some rather questionable other news.
For example if we go to the Politics section, we'll find THIS
Which seems to be something totally made up about the uproar in India because of a new Oliver Stone movie that depicts Gandhi as the Indian Rambo.
Other headlines in the same section include:
- India: Gandhi's Loincloth Sold 85M$ at Auction link
- Last Active Unit of French Resistance Finally Surrenders Weapons link
- Ireland: Man Accused of Stealing Roads Finally Arrested link
- Missouri Squirrels Demand Right to Unionize link
- OBAMA: "School Crossing Guards Should Be Sexier" link
- New Right-Wing Party Triumphs in Legoland Elections link
With these in mind, I think it's pretty safe to say this worldnewsdailyreport is a satire 'news' website, similar to The Onion and not a real news site.

I want to see the sword as well. Meteoric Iron? Could it be that the supply of meteorites was plentiful at that time?
- There is no bridge being built over the Danube River so chances are great no "Construction workers" are "there".
- There is no Albrecht Rümschtein ("the historian") working at Lorand Eötvös University in Budapest
- Attila the Hun was allegedly feared and hated like Hitler or Stalin for massacring untold numbers of people.
This article was posted in the wrong section, it should have been put in the "Don't Panic, Lighten Up1" section.
Of course, their 'story' can always be resurrected when people want to re-write history. If this story is a fake, then there is an agenda behind it. Just like there is in any con job. They may just be trying to make a certain group of people feel 'important'. I sort of wonder why.
Who are they trying to 'work up into a froth', this time?
Before commenting on Atilla (and not Attila, it is only a Latin distortion installed for proper pronunciation, since the single "t" sounds "c" like in Aetius) let me present some facts. If you are not interested, go directly to the [Link]
1. History, as you (think to) know, is largely falsified and manipulated. The real events of the past is hard to reveal but not impossible. Manipulation of human (known) history started not 300, but many thousands of ys ago.
2. There is no real historical research work in history in Hungary. The referred university staff for example consist of (at least) 85% of non-Hungarian. The same is true for the "Scientific" Academy and similar places. They do much more to cover up history than to reveal it.
3. Real research work is made by so called amateurs, like Csaba Varga who researched and explored the ancient language and writing (yes!) of the stone age. Actually, our present language has some 50-60% common features of the ancient one. That is why so many famous scientist learned Hungarian in the past. Our hand writing (not that funny Latin one that was forcefully installed some 1000 ys ago) the so called Runic script was known and used by every single member of my people in Atilla's time and later, till 1000 after Jesus born when finally the Saulist power finally managed to seize the power in Hungary. Do not forget, at that time Hungary was the only superpower in Europe. It was a similar catastrophe in size, than the 1913.12.23rd. decision on the FED.
4. The "barbaric" flag was attached to King Atilla by those, whom he spared their life. The barbaric power actually was Rome, who killed and eradiceted every culture in Europe and in the Mediterranean. Atilla and his people smashed this sick, corrupt and antihuman regime. This "ancient Brussel" with its slavery was the biggest ulcer on the Globe. Atilla and the Huns never ever massacred innocent people. Dont mix us with Jahve's people! Later at about 900-950 after Jesus born we led some 50 military expedition all over Europe (like knife in the butter) but not a single village was burnt, only the monasteries and churches was attacked IF not open their gates, since the aim of the expeditions were to retake Atilla's stolen treasure. Plse remember: some 200 ox-cart treasure was robbed from the sacred Pilis mountain after Atilla's assassination, mostly gold. Before you think its funny, let me have an example: a Schytian grave of an unknown Scyitian patrician contains thousands of golden jewels, only the neklace was made of 2 kg of gold. The floor of the grave was 6 cm thick gold. Think it: it was an unknown Schytian nobleman. Treasure were taken into Leningrad.
5. The Hun empire actually was a leage of nations the was forged in Ordos in 4040 before Jesus born. Very funny, that "educated" people knows the era of Alexander the Big (slaughter) that took 7 years alltogether, but could not even say a sentence about the Hun empire that took hundreds of years (could say thousands but hundreds is enough to digest) Álmos, who was the father of Árpád, for example was born in Kiev. It was somewhere in the middle in the empire and was the center of our smith (forger) industry. There are Hun nations in the Kaspi region, thats true, like Kazahstan, or the Uigurs in present China. In spite of the centralized mental manipulation, there has been many findings in the Carpathian basin (=Hungary) dates back 5-6000 years. The same with our writing: 10-15.000 years old steles and stones found everywhere, not to mention the pyramids. The known ones were cleaned up, but in the Bosnian pyramid that was opened some years ago, and is said some 30-35.000 ys, still managed to find 13 letters of our alphabet. All in all, the Hun empire is not some Asian origin.
6. The video has an English subtitle. Please take into consideration, that research work is made by private persons after 12-14 hs work per day, in their "leisure time" but try to look at the facts and not the quality.
7. Hundreds of ys of mental conditioning can not be taken off in a minute, but I ask all the five of you, who watched the video, to support the transition work of an English book on the website of the author: [Link] >> Donate button

"...most likely that of King Attila himself."
"...all traditionally associated with Huns."
"...which could certainly be Attila's legendary "Holy War Sword of the Scythians", allegedly given to him by the god Mars himself. In fact, this definitely seems to be the resting place of the almighty Attila, but further analysis needs to be done to confirm it."
Well, at least there is some sort of science being done here other than conjecture, but if he died in 453, and this is a 6th century tomb, perhaps the problem isn't in the data, but its analysis? At least this business about Mars gifting him this sword made from meteoric iron gives credence to the data on these 'gods' being comets/asteroids et al... it does explain their regular visits and gifts.
