What does a hun look like does he look like a mongol or a Turk

what's the deal. Please post pic if you have.
 
Because on the pics I have seen they look more european then the turks and mongols with this I mean bigger and harrier.
 
Btw is it true that they wern't a ethnic group but a mix of CA people fins and so on.

The Mongols are a Turkic tribe, so I would imagine they look the same. The Huns are also a Turkic tribe but they were known to alter their appearances to look more fierce. For example, they would bind their heads from childhood so that their heads would develop into weird shapes.

Yes dude, for real.

The Huns that came into Europe probably mixed with peoples they came by.

It's impossible to tell since no one knows where the Finns truly originated. However, if we are to believe the Ural Mountains theory then perhaps some intermingling could have occured.

You probably mean  the Volga Finns-as far as i know, ancestors of today finns were pretty much living in the same teritorry as today...
 
And if it's worth anything-in the south slavic tales-Attila was known as Atil the Dogface...as for the rest of the huns, i really don't know-although they're constantly portrayed as more or less average looking europeans in various documentaries...which is absurd...
