Avar Khaganate

Avar Khaganate was an empire in Central Europe (Europe) that lasted from c. 567 to 822 CE, about 255 years. Its people spoke Unknown or undeciphered languages (Indus, Minoan, Moche, Nazca, Chavin, Jomon and other unattested languages).

Steppe nomads who settled in the Carpathian basin, ruled the local Slavs and besieged Constantinople in 626. Charlemagne's armies plundered their Ring in the 790s, and they vanish from the record after 822.
