Hi there,
I read alot lately and I read in the books of Nihal Atsiz that the Huns(or pre-Huns). Were "pushed" to the regions of China,Mongolia, Siberia and Kazakhstan.
By Aryan people and he mentioned Alexander the Macedonian general doing this.
I would like to read more about this but I cant find much info about it sadly. Is there anything I can read about it? How it all started etc...
Thank you.

You can read about Indo-European expansions into the Altais and the migrations of pre-Hunnic and early Hunnic tribes in these books:
- René Grousset, Empire of the Steppes
- Peter B. Golden, An Introduction to the History of the Turkic Peoples

Also:
The Cambridge History of Early Inner Asia (various authors)
and
Nomads of the Eurasian Steppe in the Early Iron Age (various authors)
Early Huns in east Asia are called the Hsiung-nu/Xiongnu, so you should probably search that name for research

I am also thinking about buying: Joseph P Yap - Wars with the Xiongnu That book is the English translation of the passages about Hunnic (Xiongnu) wars in the 11th century Chinese source Zizhi Tongjian. I am also thinking of acquiring this important book. |

The cheapest I could find online is 54 dollars. I am going to research the writer (translator) and then buy it soon I think. Its 704 page's. I hope it really is more based on Xiongnu rather then the Han dynastie. |

I also recently found this site, which features the writings of Lev Gumilev, a Russian scholar who wrote about various central Asian subjects, including the Huns. The site is in Russian, but Google translate does a decent job at translating it into English (some of the articles are already in English, but others aren't) gumilevica.kulichki.net/index.html |
