Nice drawings, thank you sharing them with you 
However, I can not agree with your statement that the Bulghars were descendents of the Huns, and that they share the same origin with the Magyars. First of all, the Bulghars were formed as a union of several Oghur tribes who were, for some time, ruled by the Huns, but they were different from them. However, after the fall of the Hunnic Empire, most of the remaining Huns fled eastwards and joined the Oghurs, some of whom later became the Bulghars. So actually this means that the ancestors of Bulghars joined the Hunnic armies of 5th century and that they were "Hunnic" in a political sense. However, ethnicially, they were different. Second; the Magyars have nothing to do with the Huns, but they were deeply influenced from Onoghurs.
