Massagetae: Warlike And Brave Nomadic Tribe Of Central Asia
A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – In his great work “Histories”, Herodotus mentions an interesting historical event that took place in 529 BC.
In that year, Cyrus the Great II, the Elder (about 590 – 529 BC) – King of Persia from the Achaemenid dynasty – died.
Known from the records of Herodotus, the Massagetae crashed a huge army of Persians, then, they captured the king himself, put him to death, and publicly humiliated him.
How did the incident so pathetic for the ruler of Persia Cyrus the Great happen?
It turns out that Cyrus II was continuously victorious until he attacked the Massagetae people, who under Queen Tomyris quickly ended the life story of this great historical figure.
