Iaziges

I always hoped and still do i will be able to see one day animated maps with sliders on Wikipedia showing the whole history of the whole world. Maybe i will try something myself, got to look for suitable software. Until then here are some maps from Wikipedia showing the history of a forgotten people, of which might have remained only the name of a city in eastern Romania.

Tisia Valley, an ancient European territory inhabited by Indo-Europeans since at least 200 BC. In 124 this Roman map shows them present on Tisia valley, west of Roman province Panonia. Sarmatians have already been pushed there by the Goths. Iazyges which are also from the family of Sarmatians moved north. But i think it's wrong what they say in Wikipedia about Sarmatians being Asians. Sarmatians on this map sit on the place where the Indo-European migration started maybe four thousand BC and Persian of Farsi is an Indo-European language. It is highly unlikely they left and came back later on the same place. Whatever, i don't want to dig further in this direction.

Later at 337. Diga del Diavolo is the Italian name for the Roman fortifications originally called limes Sarmatiae
The fact the Goths are shown on this map as inhabiting what is now southern Romania does not mean they were the majority of people there but just one of those conquering minorities which vanished soon after (that's why it's not correct to call it a migration cause it was just a prolonged raid of a warrior elite). Goths allied themselves with free Dacian tribes to push back the Romans out of Dacia around 271.

According to accepted theories, Indo-European migrations started north of Black Sea around 4000 BC.

In 5th century AD Pannonia was ceded by Romans to Huns (probably first documented land for peace type of exchange in history) after Huns raided the eastern and western Roman Empire for about 100 years. And Huns, yes, are from central Asia but the name and antropology suggest... something else.

We don't see Iaziges no more in the last map after the remaining of the Huns set on their place. However there is a city about 100 miles east from where the purple line or 20 miles at the right of the green little square on the map above called Iași.

Very few of the old huns contributed to forming what today is known as Hungary around year 1000. Modern Hungarians call themselves Magyars, which coincides with the name of a people from Nepal, Magars, who (probably) came and again raided Europe (Holy Roman Empire this time) for another hundred years until year 1000 and settled in the same place where Iaziges and Huns lived before.

Magars, a people which still live today around the place where Buddha Siddhartha was born around 500 BC. The capital of Hungary was initially an old fortress from around 13 century called Buda. The bizarre addition to the name most like a reverse psychology type of effort to cover its origin was done in late 19 century. But this is a different story i told many times.

As for the official theory for the name of the city Jassy:

«"Scholars have different theories on the origin of the name "Iași". Some argue that the name originates with the Sarmatian tribe Iazyges (of Iranian origin)"». Not Iranian but of common Indo-European origin. Don't know about the Latin hypothesis, but the fact that our Ovid mentioned it 2000 years ago means it was there.
