Attila’s Lost Treasure
Written by Kevin Jackson
Tuesday, 14 August 2007
Mankind throughout its history has been drawn to treasure like moths to a
flame. For the incredibly small chance of success, treasure seekers have
been willing to risk everything, including their lives. Even with all of the
modern technology available today, the world is a big place that is loaded
with lost treasures. The truth is that very few of them will ever be found,
but this does not keep us from looking and dreaming.
One of the most sought after treasures is the coffin of Attila the Hun. Just
to provide the proper context, he was one of the most feared barbarians in
history and was called the “scourge of God” by the Romans. During his
reign, the Huns controlled a vast territory and it is even rumored that they
lived, ate, and slept on horseback. While some stories may vary, it is an
undeniable fact that Attila left an immortal footprint on history.
So what happened to this great warrior? Attila, ironically, did not die in
battle as many of his followers did. He passed away on his wedding night to
his latest wife, the beautiful Ildiko, in the year 453 AD. His body was
found drenched in blood and there was no evidence of any wound inflicted. It
is said that he suffered from a massive nosebleed and drowned in his own
blood. The dead body was soon transported to somewhere in the great grass
covered plain, and put on display in a silk tent. Written accounts describe
how warriors entered the tent, ripped the hair from their heads and
mutilated their faces. The reason for these acts was to ensure that Attila
was mourned by the blood of warriors and not the tears of women.
While the exact cause of his death may never be known, there is considerable
agreement that he was placed in a triple coffin made of gold, surrounded by
silver, and then finally by iron. The gold and silver are said to symbolize
his status as a mighty king, while the iron designates his strength and
power over all nations. Armaments from defeated enemies, along with precious
stones and ornaments, were also added to Attila’s elaborate coffins.
This fabulous treasure, however, had to be hidden from those seeking its
riches. One story says that a group of men were sent to bury the body at
night and then all of them were slaughtered. Another tale tells how the body
was buried in the steppe and then thousands of horses trampled down the
ground around it to conceal its whereabouts. An even more unbelievable story
suggests that the Tisza River was redirected over his resting place. While
stories about Attila’s burial site are numerous, there is a consensus that
it does exist and currently represents one of the world’s most significant
lost treasures.
The town of Tápiószentmárton, located southeast of Budapest, has built a
replica of Attila’s palace based on the text of Priscus Rhetor, a Roman
envoy to the Huns during Attila’s last days. Many believe the Attila’s
lost treasure is located somewhere near this town, yet nothing has been
found. If you are feeling lucky and believe Priscus, then quit your job,
grab a shovel, and seek your fortune. | h********o

如果让梅尔吉布森来演说不定更好。
不国电影拍的还是不错的。
