The Image of Ihsan of the Asian Huns is super nice ! The Bulgars had similar military clothing and weapons.

...and they founded the European Hunnic Empire (there are some scholars who doubt that the European Huns descended from the Xiongnu)... This is debatable either way... The reason some scholars say this, is due to the many centuries and the thousands of miles (literally) between the Xiongnu-Hun period and those Huns that went into Europe in the 4th & 5th centuries AD. Because of this, many scholars consider that these Huns would have been Caucasian in origin (the Caucases) rather than Mongolic-type stock. My own opinion is (which is based on what I have been told by friends and family) that they were originally of the Xiongnu-Hun's/Mongol-type stock, but that they would have been in the Caucus-regions for many hundreds of years already, by the time they went into central Europe (Hungary; formerly Panonia, is not eastern-Europe as many in 'the West' think - it is central Europe).
