Learned about the history of Scythians (Sarmatians and Alans were a part of this disappeared Aryan race from Central Asia). Scythians were driven west by the Usuns who in turn were pushed out by Huns (Turkic people who look like mongols and are direct ancestors of Kazakhs). Huns were highly feared, China built the great wall to keep them out and they destroyed the Roman Empire.
