TO CENTRAL ASIA ANCIENT HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: The campaign launched by Alexander the Great against the Sogdians and the Scythians, living across the Sir-darya river, indicates an important turning-point in the history of Ancient Central Asia. The historical importance of Alexander’s campaign into Central Asia can be seen in the fact that tried to defend the Iranian and the later Greek urbanization of Central Asia against the predatory invasions of the northern nomads by preventive military expeditions, by fortresses and fortification systems. His activity became exemplary for his successors and these defence systems also spread gradually to Europe and Eastern Asia and divided the Ancient and Early Medieval World into a southern, more developed zone and a northern, undeveloped one.
