Why is Barbarian in scare quotes? That is who and what they were.

"Most of the metal objects are made from corroded iron..."

Why would the Przeworsk culture make their metal objects out of corroded iron?

That is interesting, but if you want to see real barbarian hordes, just take a trip to the southern US border.

I read a book about the rise and fall of the Roman empire, they mentioned barbarian hordes, debasing of money, politicians who were focused more on enriching themselves than representing the people.

Fortunately something like that could never happen today.

"The culture's decline in the late 5th century coincides with the invasion of the Huns..."

Well, how do you like that? There is historical precedent for a culture declining when invaded.

Might that be an abject lesson for us? Nah, we are modern and sophisticated. We are on the right side of history. There are no historical precedents.

Let’s hope they had permits to own the weapons.
