Delusional Dong Zhuo Lies to Suffering Xiongnu
President Trump continues to try to bend reality to his will; I do hope he’s successful.
Also, there are reports of some strikes in Gaza that the Israeli military has not commented on yet per @manniefabian.bsky.social

In the Chinese language version, they were the Xiongnu — which fought the Han Dynasty
In the original story, they were the Göktürks, which — which fought the Northern (Tuoba) Wei Dynasty

Extremely interesting study of a mass grave found at the Bayanbulag site in southern Mongolia; probably part of the Iron Age Han-Xiongnu War. 🧪🏺

Modu Chanyu sent Empress Lü an insulting marriage proposal, and the Han court wanted revenge.
Instead, she chose diplomacy.
For someone remembered as ruthless, her response to the Xiongnu was surprisingly restrained.

They are not Mongolians.
They weren't Mongolians in the poem either.

This beautiful gold belt buckle - with a pair of felines attacking ibexes, mirrored - is clearly from the Eurasian steppes, and resembles Scythian gold work. But it’s from a later period, made by a Xiongnu artist, with Sarmatian influences. Whew! 🏺 1/
