"Iranians" From 900 BC to the 4th Century AD
Iron Age Doings
The Great Movement of Humanity
Our First Knowledge
Our first knowledge of them began soon after their arrival in the steppes just to the north of the Caspian and Black Seas. Do not believe that they came all at once. They came and they continued to come. From the earliest days they were known as travelers on horseback with fine horses and sharp strong metals. They were known as warriors who fought on horseback with effective weapons. They were mostly a good looking people who worked their hard iron beautifully, they lacked the knowledge of the best of us, but they were very many. The people of northern India may have known them before we did.

Underground Cities Which are Very Large and Very Very Old.
Underground Cities of Turkey and Beyond
Derinkuy is one of cities. There are several of them in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. We are finding them and learning much of their history. However, we do not know who first built them or when the were first built. We do know that they are very very old. They may have been used during the Ice Age. They means that they may be over 10,000 years old. It is a true story, better than most fiction and we still have chapters to learn. Find out much more on this video.

Silk Road Saga Continued: Afghanistan
Afghanistan deserves more attention than this. Consider this a tip of the hat to the topic.

Religion in Afghanistan:
It is also a land of various religions: Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and, more recently, Islam and some Christianity.
Birth of Afghanistan:
Afghanistan may be said to have become a nation with the Hitak dynasty. This dynasty was founded by Ghilji Pashtuns, who may be seen as early cousins of the Persians. The Hotak ruled into the early 1700s BC. They took over from the older and longer lasting Persian Safaid empire. The Safaid were horsemen on the Silk Road,

Anthropology of the Colusa of Florida
North American Indians
The Calusa of what is now Florida, USA
I haven't yet written much of the early peoples of North America, but if I live long enough I intend to write much more.
The words I now write of the Calusa are few. Even so I expect that will be sufficient to fix the Calusa people and the name Calusa in the minds of a few our readers.
In the 1500s the Calusa still controlled much of the southwest of Florida. They defended their land against the aggression of other peoples including European explorers. The Spaniards knew them as fierce. The Caloosahatchee River, with its mouth on the southwest of Florida, was theirs.
They lived mostly along the inland waterways and developed them for transportation and food production. The sea was also a source of food for them. They left middens of seashells large enough in size to compete with their great mounds and other earthworks. The fished with nets and tapped fish.
The Calusa had a strong influence on the tribes around them. That influence may be because of their wide trading. They typically used dugouts for use at sea and along their inland waterways. They also built and used larger vessels. They visited Cuba regularly and probably sailed much farther into the Caribbean.
Their homes were built on platforms on pilings over the water. Their buildings had particularly handsome roofing of palmetto leaves. It is said that some of their 'houses' were large enough to easily accommodate 2000 persons!
They were excellent wood workers and they also did some fine wood carving. They were excellent farmers, sailors, fishermen, and traders, They are probably responsible for the construction of what we have called bayous.
The apex of their culture probably dates well before 100 BC. Their middens and and earth works have been dated to that time.
We have much to learn from and about the Calusa. Please feel free to extend and correct our knowledge of them.
