History - Jats and The Scythians (3) The Scythians who were very probably men with broad faces, and high cheek-bones, sturdy and short in stature, are little likely to have been the ancestors of a tall-statured and long-headed people like the Jats. In short, it has been suspected by many European Orientalists that a Central Asian genealogy entered India with the Indo-Scythic races and was cleverly engrafied on the Indo-Aryan genealogical tree by the unscrupulous Hindu ethnologist, who dubbed the descendants of the barbarian invaders as Kshatriyas of the Lunar race. It is not impossible, however, that we have confirmatory evidence of the Scythian origin of the Haihayas as Col. Tod supposed". www.sikhnet.com /sikhnet/discussion.nsf/SearchView/D5CAC79F1DFDD16D87256A57004CFD5D!OpenDocument   (1418 words)

ONSNUMIS.ORG - Kshaharata Questions It would seem that Scythians had been settled in this area for centuries (see ONS Newsletter 158, p.17-20) and since Zeionises is called the Satrap of Chukhsa I would suggest that it is to be found somewhere close to Kashmir. The reverse shows Nike, as on all obverses of Abhiraka and it is very close to the Nike appearing on some coppers of Gondophares I. This suggests that this new ruler was also an Indo-Parthian or Scythian. In my decades of coin collecting, I have seen that practically all the coins of Zeionises turn up, both silver and copper, in the Indian part of present Kashmir. www.onsnumis.org /articles/kshaharata.shtml   (1971 words)

Indo-Greek Kingdom While the Yuezhi were to stay in Bactria for more than a century, the Scythians went on to the south-east into northern Pakistan to form Indo-Scythian kingdoms, seemingly recognizing the power of the local Indo-Greeks rulers there. They then progressively lost their southern territories to the Indo-Scythians until around 80 BC, when Taxila was taken by the Scythian king Maues. One can not assume however that the present Greek population is representative of the Macedonian army under Alexander.This army probably contained a large number of Persians and other groups such as Scythians and Thracians.The Macedonians themselves may not have been genetically 'Greek',since they where intially considered outsiders by 'Greeks'. www.mlahanas.de /Greeks/History/IndoGreekKingdom.html   (3411 words)
