Cimmerians
The Cimmerians or Kimmerians ((ギリシア語:Κιμμέριοι), ''Kimmerioi'') were an ancient Indo-European people living north of the Caucasus as early as 1300 BC. In the 8th century BC, under pressure from the Scythians, they migrated around the Black Sea. Linguistically, they are usually regarded as Iranian, or possibly Thracian with an Iranian ruling class.
After their exodus from the Pontic steppe, the Cimmerians probably assaulted Urartu about 714 BC; but in 705, after being repulsed by Sargon II of Assyria, they turned towards Anatolia and in 696–695 conquered Phrygia. In 652, after taking Sardis, the capital of Lydia, they reached the height of their power. Soon after 619, Alyattes of Lydia defeated them. There are no further mentions of them in historical sources, but it is likely that they settled in Cappadocia.〔
