		The time of conquests had come to an end; the wars which Darius undertook, like those of Augustus, only served the purpose of gaining strong natural frontiers for the empire and keeping down the barbarous tribes on its borders.
		Thus Darius subjugated the wild nations of the Pontic Mountains and Armenian Mountains, and extended the Persian dominion to the Caucasus Mountains; for the same reasons he fought against the Saka and other Iranian steppe tribes, as well as the mysterious Turanians from beyond the Oxus.
		Yet the whole plan was based upon an incorrect geographical assumption; a common on in that era, and repeated by Alexander the Great and his Macedonians, who believed that on the Hindu Kush (which they called the Caucasus Indicus) and on the shores of the Jaxartes (which they called Tanais, i.e.

		Thus Darius subjugated the wild nations of the Pontic and Armenian mountains, and extended the Persian dominion to the Caucasus; for the same reasons he fought against the Sacae and other Turanian tribes.
		The purpose of this war can only have been to attack the nomadic Turanian tribes in the rear and thus to secure peace on the northern frontier of the empire.
		It was based upon a wrong geographical conception; even Alexander and his Macedonians believed that on the Hindu Kush (which they called the Caucasus Indicus) and on the shores of the Jaxartes (which they called Tanais, i.e.

		The Hindu Kush range, a western spur of the Himalayas that has some of the world's highest peaks, is situated in the northeastern corner of modern Afghanistan, close to the Valley of the Indus, and is thus indeed close to India.
		Indeed, that such a corrupted form was in use by the 12th century C.E. at the latest we know from the famous Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela, who set out from Spain for points east in or about 1166.
		In fact, it may have been such a mixup that turned Mount Koh or the Caucasus Indicus into the Hindu or Indian Kush in the first place.

		It is, as Rennell points out, properly that part of the range immediately north of Kabul, the Caucasus of the historians of Alexander, who crossed and recrossed it somewhere not far from the longitude of that city.

	Told You So! by Professor Revilo P. Oliver
		The name became fixed in modern usage at a time when much or all of Afghanistan was under the same rule as much or all of northern India, probably in the time of the Mogul Empire.
		The origin of the name may be traced back to the Classical geographers who, by analogy, called the mountain range the Caucasus Indicus, adopting a name that seems to have been given it by the Greeks at the time of Alexander's conquest of Bactria, which had been a part of the Persian Empire.
		The alternative name, Paropamisus, is probably a native name that passed through Old Persian to Greek; it is not, as sometimes stated, derived from Sanskrit.)
