Quote:

"The Sacae, or Scyths, were clad in trousers, and had on their heads tall stiff caps rising to a point. They bore the bow of their country and the dagger; besides which they carried the battle-axe, or sagaris (fokos in Hungarian - Villaman- ). They were in truth Amyrgian (Western) Scythians, but the Persians called them Sacae, since that is the name which they gave to all Scythians." (Herodotus VII. 64)


Although the Shakas had a reputation as fierce and war-like, one of the greatest sages of peace, the Buddha, descended from this tribe: he had the title Shakyamuni which means "Shaka monk".

Indeed Buddha is pronounced correctly the same way as we pronounce Buda in Hungarian. Buda is an ancient male name and even the capital of Hungary was joined together by two settlements in the two different banks of the river Danube. On the eastern bank lays Pest and on the western bank of the Danube lays Buda.

The brother of Attila the Hun was Buda. Attila was seated in the Great Hungarian Plane (the Alfld) while Buda seated in the Pilis mountains (spiritual center of Hungary) and the settlement of Buda (located at the foot of the Pilis mountain) was named after him. He was a sage as well as Siddharta centuries before. Shakyamuni Buddha before he reached the Buddha state was a Scythian prince and Siddharta Gautama Sakja Muni was his name.
