Foundation of the Greco -Bactrian Kingdom, where the Kharo ṣṭ hī script was used ca. 250 BC 946 along with the Greek alphabet. Beginning of the Parthian (Arsacid) Empire, in which Middle Iranian languages (including the Parthian) were used ( Image D-1). However, the Imperial Aramaic 247 BC language remained in use in the western part of the Parthian Empire. A variant of the Imperial Aramaic script, namely Inscriptional Parthian , started to be developed and 947 later used in the Parthian Empire. Maotun —whose dignitary name was shanyü —established the Hiungnu (Xiongnu , 209 BC Hsiung-nu) confederation of nomadic tribes and created an empire north of China. His 948 was the first nomadic empire of the Eurasian Steppe. Iranian words gradually began to appear in Aramaic inscriptions, which were used for nd 2 c. BC only the Aramaic language before. This means that the Aramaic script was used to 949 record in the Iranian languages. The Hiungnu defeated the Yuezhi. The majority of the Yuezhi people fled to the East 174 BC Tarim Basin (present-day West China). They were identified as Tocharians by J. 950 Harmatta. East of the Aral Sea existed the country Kangju , which extended its contro l over 129 BC Sogdiana . The Iranian-speaking As people also lived in Kangju. The influence of the Kharo ṣṭ hī script was probably strong on their orthography. 951 128 BC The Yuezhi (Tocharians) defeated Bactria, and then that area was called Tocharia. 70 BC The end of the Scythian Kingdom north to the Black Sea. Beginning of the Kushan Empire in Central Asia. 952 The Kushans may have been one of the tribes of the Yuezhi speaking Tocharians. Near Kangju, in the north-western 953 10 AD part of the Kushan Empire the Kharo ṣṭ hī script was in use. The Kushans used the dignitary name jabgu ,954 which was applied later by several Steppe nations, including the Turks, the Khazars, and the Magyars. The Alans secured a dominant position over the Sarmatians between the Don River and the Caspian Sea ( Image D-1). 955 Alans and Sarmatians lived between the lower 30 AD reaches of the Volga and Don rivers, the Northern and East Azov regions, and the 956 middle reaches of the Kuban River ( Map 3.1-1 and 3.5.1-1). 944 Hultzsch 1925, XXXV 945 Salomon 1998, p. 47 946 Harmatta 1999, p. 433 947 Skjærvø 1996, p. 517 948 Zimonyi 2007, p. 1 949 Rogers 1999, p. 257 950 Harmatta 1998, p. 130 951 Vásáry 2004, p. 42 952 Vásáry 2004, p. 42 953 Harmatta 1999, p. 433 954 Puri 1999, p. 247 955 Zadneprovskiy 1999, p. 467 956 Aibabin 2008, p. 2 279 Date Event st mid -1 c. 957 The beginning of the Hiungnu groups’ movements west of the Hiungnu Empire.

    Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov

    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Received: November 27, 2014 Accepted: December 10, 2014 Online Published: March 20, 2015 doi:10.5539/ass.v11n8p155 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v11n8p155 Abstract The article aims to consider world vision of medieval (VI-IX centuries) Turkic tribes on nature and human being and the issues, which impact on the emergence of their world image on nature, human being as well as their perceptions in this case. In this regard, the paper analyzes the concepts on territory, borders and bound in the Turks` society, the indicator of the boundaries for Turkic tribes and the way of expression the world concept on nature and human being of above stated nations. The research findings show that Turks as their descendants Kazakhs had a distinctive vision on environment and the relationship between human being and nature. Human being and nature were conceived as a single organism. Relationship of Turkic mythic outlook with real historical tradition and a particular geographical location captures the scale of the era of the birth of new cultural schemes. It was reflected in the various historical monuments, which characterizes the Turkic civilization as a complex system.

    H-German Lyon on Bowlus, 'The Battle of Lechfeld and Its Aftermath, August 955: The End of the Age of Migrations in the Latin West' Review published on Tuesday, May 1, 2007 Charles R. Bowlus. The Battle of Lechfeld and Its Aftermath, August 955: The End of the Age of Migrations in the Latin West. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006. xxiv + 223 pp. $94.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-7546-5470-4. Reviewed by Jonathan R. Lyon (Department of History, University of Chicago)Published on H- German (May, 2007) A New Theory on the Campaign that Ended the Hungarian Invasions In 955 Otto I, the ruler of the East Frankish kingdom, led an army comprised predominantly of Bavarians, Swabians, Franconians, and Bohemians against a Magyar (Hungarian) military force that had launched a raid into the south of the kingdom from the Carpathian basin. The two armies first came into contact with one another near the Lech River, in the region around Augsburg, in what is today the German state of Bavaria. Though few extant sources provide details about how the battle unfolded, it is clear that the encounter between the two sides eventually resulted in a decisive victory for Otto I. After approximately a half-century of raids into Italy and the East Frankish kingdom, the Magyars would never seriously threaten the Latin West again. Indeed, in subsequent centuries they would convert to Christianity and emerge as an important buffer between western Europe and other nomadic peoples from the steppes of Asia. For Otto I, the victory set the stage for his emergence as the dominant ruler in Latin Christendom.

    M. Witzel (2003) Sintashta, BMAC and the Indo-Iranians. A query. [excerpt from: Linguistic Evidence for Cultural Exchange in Prehistoric Western Central Asia] (to appear in : Sino-Platonic Papers 129) Transhumance, Trickling in, Immigration of Steppe Peoples There is no need to underline that the establishment of a BMAC substrate belt has grave implications for the theory of the immigration of speakers of Indo-Iranian languages into Greater Iran and then into the Panjab. By and large, the body of words taken over into the Indo-Iranian languages in the BMAC area, necessarily by bilingualism, closes the linguistic gap between the Urals and the languages of Greater Iran and India. Uralic and Yeneseian were situated, as many IIr. loan words indicate, to the north of the steppe/taiga boundary of the (Proto-)IIr. speaking territories (§2.1.1). The individual IIr. languages are firmly attested in Greater Iran (Avestan, O.Persian, Median) as well as in the northwestern Indian subcontinent (Rgvedic, Middle Vedic). These materials, mentioned above (§2.1.) and some more materials relating to religion (Witzel forthc. b) indicate an early habitat of Proto- IIr. in the steppes south of the Russian/Siberian taiga belt. The most obvious linguistic proofs of this location are the FU words corresponding to IIr. Arya "self-designation of the IIr. tribes": Pre-Saami *orja > oarji "southwest" (Koivulehto 2001: 248), ārjel "Southerner", and Finnish orja, Votyak var, Syry. ver "slave" (Rédei 1986: 54). In other words, the IIr. speaking area may have included the S. Ural "country of towns" (Petrovka, Sintashta, Arkhaim) dated at c.
