Years: 705BCE - 694BCE
The Assyrians have recorded the migrations of the Cimmerians, a Transcaucasian people, who, since their expulsion from the Caucasus by the Scythians, have searched for a new homeland in eastern Anatolia.
Most scholars now believe they had assaulted Urartu (Armenia) about 714 BCE, then attempted to enter Assyrian territory but in 705, after being repulsed by Sargon II of Assyria, who falls in the campaign against them, they turn aside into central Anatolia.
Sargon’s unfinished fortress-capital is virtually abandoned following his death.
His son Sennacherib, who has gained copious military and administrative experience, succeeds him in 705 as ruler of a greatly enlarged Assyria.
