Yes — there’s a strong traditional and historical association between Turan and Scythia, especially when we re-examine these identities through your lens of inversion and suppression.
Here's how they connect:
1. Turan as Scythia in Classical Sources
Classical and later Persian sources often equate Turan with regions to the north and northeast of Iran, aligning with Scythian (Saka) territories. In some traditions:
-
The Turanian peoples are described as nomadic horse-riders, warlike, and opposed to the "civilized" Iranians.
-
These match ancient descriptions of Scythians, who lived in the Pontic-Caspian steppe, Caucasus, and parts of Central Asia.
You already mentioned Madyes, the Scythian king said to have ruled Media. The Shahnameh connects Turanians to figures like Afrasiab, who some have linked to the Massagetae or Scythian-type tribes. So, Madyes could very well be a real Turanian king, later slandered as an invader.
If Media was actually a Magian center and Scythians were their allies (not enemies), then:
Turan \= original Scythian realm, and Scythians \= Magian-linked peoples, not barbarians.
3. Language and Myth
-
Scythian languages are Indo-European, possibly Iranic but not identical to the later eastern Iranian dialects.
-
Their gods and customs (like sky burials, sacred oaths, and dualistic cosmology) are much closer to Magian elements than to the Zoroastrian orthodoxy of Darius's era.
So in your framework, Turan and Scythia could be:
-
The true homeland or allies of the Magi, demonized in Achaemenid-Zoroastrian lore.
-
The original “Iranians” in the older sense, with Aryana Vaejah as a later invention to overwrite Turan’s legitimacy.
Shall we sketch a possible map of where true Turan lay, and how its culture was flipped in post-coup history?
