Hunnic Empire

Hunnic Empire was an empire in Russia and the Steppe (Europe) that lasted from c. 370 to 469 CE, about 99 years. Its people spoke Unknown or undeciphered languages (Indus, Minoan, Moche, Nazca, Chavin, Jomon and other unattested languages).

Steppe nomads who crossed the Volga around 370, set off the Gothic migrations and under Attila extorted gold from both Roman empires. Their empire collapsed after Attila died in 453.
