*****GK: That's exactly the case with the "inner"
Neuri of Herodotus (those of the upper Bog/Boh in
contemporary right-bank Ukraine), part and parcel of
the Old Scythian state for centuries [6th-3rd c. BC].
That the "Stavani" had political connections with the
Late Scythian (in fact Aorsan-dominated) state of
pre-Gothic times is also archaeologically
demonstrable. I gather that in your scenario the
"Iranians" are the Proto-Bulgars? The difference here
is that you have yet to prove that the Proto-Bulgars
were Iranian.*****
