:08:00
Why?
:08:02
Well, because the answer
goes beyond the realm of history
:08:05
- into the realm of legend.
- Try me.
:08:08
Like the Holy Grail
or the Ark of the Covenant,
:08:12
the breastplate
of Attila the Hun
:08:14
has been sought after
for centuries because of the secret
:08:16
- that it's said to hold.
- Which is?
:08:18
There are inscriptions on it
that could lead you
:08:21
to the final
resting place of...
:08:23
the Sword of Mars.
:08:26
The god of war.
:08:28
Looks like he is
the god of war.
:08:31
Attila was one of the most
ruthless conquerors
:08:33
the world's ever known.
:08:39
And it was whispered
among his people
:08:41
that Attila had struck
a bargain with the devil,
:08:44
who set the guardian
Cerberus to watch over him.
:08:47
The Huns were barbaric warriors
that were capable
:08:49
of unspeakable atrocities.
:08:51
Attila knew that to win
their absolute loyalty,
:08:54
he'd have to become,
in effect, a god himself.
:08:56
Or the next best thing.
:08:59
So he dug up a rusty
old sword
:09:00
and proclaimed it
the Sword of Mars.
:09:03
It worked.
:09:05
The Huns believed that
because Attila had acquired the sword
:09:07
of a god, it gave him the power
to rule the world.
:09:10
And as the legend grew,
:09:13
so did the belief that Attila's
bargain with the devil
:09:15
had anointed the sword
with the powers of invincibility.
:09:21
When Attila died,
:09:23
he and his sword were
returned to hell
:09:25
where it is guarded
by Cerberus,
:09:27
a huge three-headed dog
with a serpent for a tail.
:09:31
There are numerous tales
of attempts to retrieve the sword.
:09:40
Samantha:
Unsuspecting tomb raiders
:09:42
finding the last
resting place of Attila
:09:44
came face to face with
the hellish guardian
:09:46
who kept watch over
the Sword of Power.
