When Attila the Hun was marching on Rome and headed off his attack?

Attila the Hun was poised to attack Rome in 452 AD, but his invasion was halted by a diplomatic mission led by Pope Leo I. The Pope is said to have met Attila outside the city and persuaded him to withdraw, possibly through a combination of negotiation and the threat of divine retribution. This encounter, along with the potential for famine and the strength of the Roman defenses, contributed to Attila's decision to turn back. Consequently, Rome was spared from destruction, and Attila retreated to his territory in the East.

How did you get the reference to political conservatives as right of Attila the Hun?

It comes from the claim that no one could out-Attila Attila the Hun with respect to being businesslike and non flexible when he wanted something done

(like killing and mayhem).

But extreme right wing conservatives, when on their high horse (think their

extreme support for things like deep sixing the constitution when it came

to rights of those charged with being terrorists), came to be-known as being

right (more extreme) than Attila the Hun as a result. And long before the

term terrorists I might add.

Where is Attila the Hun's grave?

No one knows. According to legend, the officers in his army diverted a river, buried Attila in the riverbed (in a coffin made from gold, silver and iron) then restored the river's flow so as to cover up his grave. Then they committed suicide to keep the location of Attila's grave a secret. They knew Attila had made a lot of enemies who would think nothing of desecrating his grave, so they wanted to protect it.

Actually there is a book written by Gadonyi Geza, a Hungarian writer and journalist. It is called the Invisible man. In this book he describes in detail the burial of Attila, down to the very last detail. Well the town in question is actually my hometown, Szeged in Hungary that was the entry point to the seven tribes of Hungarians reclaiming Attila's land in 896. Attila ruled from this point and said that the river Tisza was blocked off with sand bags at the section where it meets the river Maros then hooded followers and his servants took his triple coffin that represented his strenght (iron) his wealth and glory (gold) and his affiliation with the Moon and river (silver) then shot down by arrows and finally the river was released to cover them. Now there are a few sites around that are claimed to have spiritual and healing power, one of them was a favorite meeting point tg local town folk to celebrate Pagan festivals (the original religion before Christian influence) It is so called Boszorkany sziget or Witches' Island and was the sad location of the biggest ever witch trials and burnings of innocent folks in the middle ages. Hence Szeged is still referred to as the Town of Witches, or the Hungarian Salem. Wheter the place was originally chosen because of legends and passed down knowledge of Attila's burial site or the landscape's pagan spiritual aspects is now a mystery. But it is true that the city is the University and cultural center of Hungary that there are numerous Hun sites all over the city in fact the entire area can be an archeological site. Gardonyi himself was an enthusiastic archeologist and also the man the Museum is named after Mora Ferenc himself was a writer, archeologist who himself searched for the coffin or remains of Attila and never found it. However he filled the Museum with copious amounts of treasure from Huns and other cultures he dug up from the town and surrounds. If you ever seen the Tisza river with its solid fast flow you would understand in a thousand and five hundred years that coffin can be rotten and/or carried anywhere. It is prone to flooding and apart from the great plain where Szeged is it turns and twists and needed to be tamed on a large scale through history. Attila's "grave" is still a mystery but his spirit and legend definitely brings him closest to Szeged.
