Summary/Abstract: We learn about the political, military and cultural activities of the Scythians in Anatolia and Mesopotamia from the Assyrian, Urartian and Persian sources. The Scythians who lost their war with the Massagets because of the turmoil caused by the severe drought in the VIII th century, came to the country of Cimmerians. Some of the Cimmerians who had engaged in insurrections had to migrate because of the attack of the Scythians. Scythians lived with them for a while after migrating to the Cimmerians who reached the Persian territory by surprise their way. These two tribes have influenced the political and cultural life of Anatolia and later Mesopotamian societies. In this article, we will compare the cultural interactions of Scythia, Assyria and Persians, based on the written documents and archaeological findings of the tribes that they have interact because we have not received written documents from the Scythians
