		Therefore, Scythians could be pressed by Massagets from the near-Aral steppes, where the earliest pra-Turk culture once originated.
		In the Scythian epoch, the boundless spaces of Eurasian steppes was dominated by three cognate tribes, Kimmerians, Massagets and Scythians.
		As Herodotos notes, Scythians were forced to migrate to the Black Sea area being pressed by their Asian kinsmen, Massagets; as a result, they encountered their other kinsmen, Kimmerians, living in the steppes near the Black Sea and Kuban, including the territory of modern Karachai.

	Who are the Ossetians?
		To understand who the modern Ossetians are, one should go back in time for thousands of years, to the period when, as it is now believed, some part of those who made up the Indo-European race separated from the rest of their tribesmen and headed for the Middle Asia and Northern Iran.
		Part of this people, conspicuous for it's belligerence and recalcitrance, in the course of time became known under the common name of the Massagets.
		Later on, starting to move back into the Continent of Europe, the ancient Iranian-speaking people of the Massagets apparently split up into several ethnic branches, thus forming most closely related tribes of the Yazygs, the Sarmatians, the Roxolans (or Ruslans), the Aorses, the Alans, the Saks or the so called Sarmatian tribes.
