Central Asia Expeditions of King Great Kyros (559-530 BC) and His Death

Abstract

The information about Cyrus the Great’s campaigns to Central Asia has reached the present day thanks to Antique age writers. This information gives different dates about the chronology of these campaigns in question. However, it is possible to draw the exact lines of dates thanks to the data that we have. Hereunder, Cyrus the Great has embarked on two campaigns one of which had taken place right after putting an end to Lydian Kingdom and the other one that had taken place after the confiscation of Neo-Babylonian Kingdom.  The information about the first campaigns is superficial and complicated. Therefore, our knowledge about this campaign is very limited. As it is understood from the present sources, the first campaign of Cyrus the Great was over local people of Central Asia and its immediate surroundings and as a result of this campaign he captured Cadusia, Hyrcania, Parthia, Derbicia, Aria, Margiana, Chorasmia, Bactria, Gandhara, Sattagydia, Arachosia and Drangiana. Cyrus the Great who took Mesopotamia under his domination after that first campaign to Central Asia, had embarked on another campaign to Central Asia in order to put an end to Scythians’ attacks who are steppe people. Cyrus the Great who had tackled to defeat the Scythians ruled by Queen Tomyris had failed and was killed by Scythian Queen Tomyris. In spite of presence of different information about the death of Cyrus the Great, the common point of the information is that Cyrus the Great was killed in Central Asia by a steppe people.  According to the sources we have, the funeral of Cyrus the Great was buried in capital of the Kingdom, Pasargadai. The area over which Cyrus the Great had a domination during his rule covers today a major part of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
