The range on File:Map of the Sakas.png needs to be extended further west because the territory of the Massagetae reached the eastern and northern shores of the Caspian Sea until the Volga as well as the Kyzylkum and Karakum deserts and the Ustyurt plateau (see the "Location" section of Massagetae with the sources, and 519 BC: Persians Occupy the North Pontic Coast by Alexandru Avram in Connecting the Ancient West and East: Studies Presented to Prof. Gocha Tsetskhladze (2022)).

@Antiquistik:Thanks! I had this lingering doubt too. Tell me what you think of the new map (you might have to refresh your browser). Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 17:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's good, but:

1. the range needs to include the Kyzylkum and Karakum deserts and the Ustyurt plateau
2. the range on the north shore of the Caspian Sea should be thinner and not reach more northwards than the latitude of present-day Makat in Kazakhstan since the territories further north were inhabited by the non-Saka Sauromatae. Antiquistik (talk) 17:53, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Antiquistik: I tweaked further. Tell me what you think. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 18:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's better, but the range still needs to reach till the Volga delta in the north while not extending more northwards than the latitude of present-day Makat in Kazakhstan. Antiquistik (talk) 03:53, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Antiquistik: What is your perspective on adding the Ordos culture to the Saka realm? पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 07:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am presently not too familiar with the Ordos culture, but from what I understand, their identity is not certain. So it might be prudent to not include them into the Saka realm for now.

However, I will let you know if I find any further information on the issue. Antiquistik (talk) 07:42, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Antiquistik: Thanks! पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 08:11, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is Map of the Saka and Scythian realms.png meant to represent all Scytho-Siberian cultures or only the Scythians and Saka?

If its meant to represent only the Scythian and Saka cultures, then it should include the Yuezhi, who were a Saka tribe (see Asii on Encyclopædia Iranica).

If it's meant to represent all Scytho-Siberian cultures, it should include the Sauromatians as well. Antiquistik (talk) 13:07, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Antiquistik:. Thanks for the comments. The Yuezhi are not considered as Saka, AFAIK. I tried to add the area of the Sauromatians. Tell me what you think. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 14:19, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From what I understand, the Asioi, Pasianoi, Tocharoi, and Sakarauloi are collectively identified with the Yuezhi.

And at least the Sakaraukoi are considered Sakas. But since they were one of the tribes of the Yuezhi, this might imply that the Yuezhi themselves were part of the Saka according to the broader definition of the term. Antiquistik (talk) 15:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I think I have never seen an identification of the Yuezhis with the Sakas. Probably better to leave this aside..... But it seems the Wusun may have been... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 15:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Although everything known about the Yuezhi suggests they were Eastern Iranic nomads who were, at the very least, related to the Saka groups like the Massagetae (see the section on the Alans in Notes on the presence of Iranian peoples in Europe and their Asiatic relations by Marek Olbrycht.

So maybe it's worth including them on the map with their territory marked with another shade/another colour. Antiquistik (talk) 17:37, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yuezhi prince from Khalchayan

Saka warrior from Khalchayan

Hi @Antiquistik:. Nice read, but I don't see any mention of the Yuezhis, nor a suggestion that the Yuezhis were Scythians or Iranians (maybe I missed something?). If I remember well, the Greco-Bactrians were first overrun by Scythians indeed, but the Yuezhi soon followed "in pursuit", ultimately even displacing the (Indo-)Scythians in India with the establishment of the Kushan Empire. I think nothing is known for certain about the ethnicity of the Yuezhi, but they certainly do not look very much like Scythians, and were even their enemies (see Khalchayan). They adopted the Iranian Bactrian language for their inscriptions (and the Greek script) while settling in Bactria, but that in itself does not make them Iranians (nor Greeks for that matter...). I'm afraid we would need some strong secondary sources about the Yuezhis being Scythians, if they were to be included in a map... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 20:23, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The line This statement vindicates the view that the Asioi, a powerful tribe which took part in the nomadic invasions o f Bactria in the 2nd century B.C., are to be identified as a people closely affiliated to the Alans on page 126 of the Olbrycht text is what I am referring to.

The Olbrycht article continues, "The location of the Alan homeland in Central Asia can be detected from information given by some classical writers (Jos. Bell.Jud. 7.244; Ptol. Geogr. 6.14.9. On this issue see Olbrycht 1998, 190ff.). Moreover, the Alans’ ancestors originated in the Transcaspian areas according to some writers of the Islamic period whose sources are obviously much earlier"

And then "The Classical writers Cassius Dio (69.15.1) and Ammianus Marcellinus (31.2.12; cf. 23.5.16) identify the Alans with the powerful people of the Massagetae, known in the Transcaspian steppes in the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods. Based upon those statements and the tradition which connects the Alans with Central Asia, one can assume that the Alans were formed when some older tribal groupings embraced the Massagetae."

The Asioi are also the same as the Asii/Asiani that the Iranica article I linked to covers and which it identifies with the Yuezhi. And the Iranica article seems to identify the Asioi as being at least Iranic, and possibly even as a Saka (in the broader sense of the term) group.

The political differences do not necessarily mean that the Yuezhi could not have been related to the Sakas. Ethnicity does not necessarily correlated with positive political relations. For example, the Pontic Scythians had hostile relations with the Agathyrsi and the Cimmerians despite most Scythologists being of the opinion that these groups were very closely related and possibly even spoke the same dialect.

Likewise, the cultural differences are not necessarily an indicator of a lack of relation, given that, for example, only some tribes of the Sarmatians practised cranial deformation while the other Sarmatian tribes did not. Antiquistik (talk) 05:35, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Antiquistik:. All of this is OK, but it all seems rather tentative and indirect, and based on uncertain interpretations of ancient sources. Even the Encyclopedia Iranica, although equating the Asii with the Yuezhi, does not affirm the Asii as Iranic (only their name as reported by ancient Western sources seems to have an Iranic root). Olbrycht only states that the Asioi associated with the Alans. To go back to our original matter, I'm afraid that as long as mainstream secondary sources do not affirm that "the Yuezhi were probably Scythians", we won't have a good reason to put the Yuezhis into a map of the Scythians (and personally I have never seen such sources). You don't have to convince me, it just has to be stated clearly by mainstream secondary sources. Thanks for the discussion! Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 06:05, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. This is quite reasonable. Antiquistik (talk) 06:10, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I accept better judgement, but just for discussion, wouldn't you say that the fact that the tapestry seems to be Greek/Hellenistic (centaur with Herculean cape) and that the man in the image has a headband like many Greco-Bactrians and Greek rulers, plus the spear and likeness to images of Alexander the Great like those from Roman Egypt, could more likely be interpreted as a Greek rather than a Yuezhi? Why would he be a Yuezhi?

If you think it's a Yuezhi, we'll leave the wikipedia edit at that, but it's a possibility it could be Greek or at least Greco-Bactrian.

This is a bizarre non-NPOV article. As Falk (2006) notes, there is no accepted reading of the inscription; in contrast, you have reproduced Dupont-Sommer's reading of the inscription and translation. Hell, there is considerable doubt on whether it is an Asokan edict at the first place! TrangaBellam (talk) 14:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Falk (2009; p. 5-6):

There are some texts called 'Aśokan' which do not deserve this label. Cunningham in his first edition of the Aśokan texts included a stone inscription from Deotek, which no one today would link with Aśoka. An inscribed doorframe found at Amarāvatī is often referred to as Aśokan, but there is no proof that it really is. Much clearer are the two inscriptions from the Laghman valley in eastern Afghanistan. They are written in Aramaic script and language and contain a reference to Aśoka, but only as a means of dating them to his regnal years 10 and 16. Because of his name and because of the difficulties of this script, scholars were tempted to find references to Aśokan ideas in them. On the other side, we have some studies on these texts from specialists in Aramaic who show that they are the results of law cases, the verdicts of which the winners have put in stone to demonstrate their claims in public.
