The shrine is quite rich: it includes a gold-plated sword with precious stones. Could it be the tomb of Attila, the king of the Huns, Hungarians’ glorious ancestors?

Short history

Who were the Huns and how are they, if at all, related to today’s Hungarians? Over the centuries, a legend developed in Hungary based on medieval chronicles.

Before even the first phase took place, around 375, a people called Huns were living in the Carpathian Basin.

The Protestants and their Greek-Bulgarian and Turkish allies occupied the city and fired churches, chapels and massacred all the Catholics . BUT: there still exist the city monument the “Cathedral of Sanctissima Maria” (“Black Church”) concluded by king Matthias Corvin and his queen Beatrice of Aragon, which is the largest Medieval basilica between Vienna and Istanbul. King Sigismund discovered about 1400 here in BRASOV “Attila’s tomb” with fabulous gold treasure of Gothic and Hunnic manufacture (i.e. The “Pietroasa treasure” stolen by Russian troops about 1825 from “Steingasse” chapel – strada Pietroasa, after 1950 “Spatar Luca Arbore”). The history of this strategic city from the Carpathian Arch , which was also the head quarters of the famous “DRACULA” and his Szekler army, is huge and cannot be perceived by the “Pravoslavnik Romanian” dilettantes who still dominate this important region thanks to the Soviet occupation and the crypto-Communist extension… and !…
