Nice collection!

Not to jump into the conver, but the Cimmerians (the real ones, not Robert E Howard’s) traipsed on into Anatolia and leveled the Phrygian capital Gordion. The Scythians (I think it was) traipsed right on in behind them and leveled the Cimmerians. I think their only known act was the destruction of Gordion.

Whenever I see "Cimmerian", I think Conan... :)

Thanks for the Cliff Notes version!

I'll have to fish up the Cimmerian stuff. I usually always see the Scythian posts.
